I've eaten here several times. The food and service are always excellent. Maybe some of the bad reviews are due to bad delivery drivers but when you eat here, it's great.

This place used to be amazing, and in my opinion they had the best egg roll in the city.
They no longer even offer egg rolls, and it appears to be under new management as the entire menu is changed. I've tried a few dishes that I used to get all the time that are still on the changed menu and they just aren't good anymore.
The fried rice also used to be good but now has a completely different flavor and texture.
My recommendation is to stay away from this place. They don't deserve to keep the name of a once great restaurant.

One of my favorite local spots. I often come here alone and order some soup dumplings and cucumber salad and sit at the window and people watch. If you know you know.
But most notably, their cucumber salad is 10/10! It is addicting and refreshing. Best in the city! My favorite!

An absolute tragedy that this place changed everything that made it great. A simple egg roll isn’t available to buy off of their new menu, no combination platters anymore and constantly rebranding but keeping the same name in spirit I guess? I used to come here on a regular basis to pick up lunch for my coworkers and I, we would order tons of egg rolls because they were so delicious. Now you have to order large portions that are just too much. Bring back combination platters!

I came here a couple times and it's really good. I had the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings and pork shu mai. All were delicious, especially the shrimp! Definitely some of the best I've had. The service is great and the owner is very nice. Definitely come here!

I have been ordering from you for the last 2 years, unfortunately since you renovated and changed your menu I’m noticing that your food is getting just less memorable and more expensive. I just ordered 2 wonton soups and 1 pork rice and paid $50 total! The soup broth was dark and it has about 1/4 of content with wontons. You took the joy of that beautiful clear broth and light wontons on it. Also, you are now charging $15 for a portion of rice smaller that a quart! And very very greasy. I can find better food almost anywhere else in the area for $50+Hope you could go back to your old chef and menu…

This had been our favorite Chinese restaurant in the city for years. Delicious, consistent and fast. Need to be honest though, we are not impressed with the food as of recent. The menu has changed, and some of our go to items are no longer options. There is a strong difference in flavors that are no longer to our liking. We are very disappointed.

This a great place for dine in or takeout. Most of the bad reviews are by MALE Karens. Don’t listen to them. This place is clean, tasty and affordable.

I was surprised that this place is now more of a Vietnamese spot! Friendly service, fast preparation, clean restaurant. There is a cool room upstairs where it looks like they host live music. Didn't catch it this time around but it looks like a cool venue.-Highly recommend the pork rice platter, absolutely delicious!- The shrimp toast were very different than the Thai style I am used to, but quite good. Very strong sesame flavor.-The bread they use for the bahn mi here is PERFECTION, and overall I would say the sandwich was good. In my personal opinion (as a self-proclaimed bahn mi snob) I did feel the strong taste of the sauce on the chicken overwhelmed the flavor balance of the sandwich, which could be overcome by toning it down a little and/or having a stronger pickled flavor on the vegetable and more herbs to balance it out.
