Awesome restaurant, consistently good after a decade of going there. Chongqing chicken is amazing and spicy beyond belief. String beans w/ olive leaves are an awesome savory, bok choi is light even when well cooked, and shrimp dishes are delightful. Staff are freindly, service is fast, orders are accurate. New location is also great (i know, 'new' is a relative term, haha). A go-to every time we come back to town.

I don’t usually write reviews unless I feel it’s truly necessary—and this time, I do.

We visited this restaurant a few years ago and had a great impression, but unfortunately, it’s completely different now. I’m leaving this review for people like us who may return expecting the same quality. Simply put: try to avoid it.

The portion sizes are shockingly small. There were just two of us, and we had to order three main dishes, one noodle dish, and a bowl of rice just to feel barely full—totaling $90.

The environment was also unpleasant. The dining area was filled with flying bugs, and we had to constantly swat them away while eating. The service felt cold and indifferent. To top it off, they informed us that a surcharge would be added to the total if we paid by credit card, so we paid the $90 in cash instead.

This used to be one of our favorite Chinese restaurants in the area, so we were deeply disappointed to see how far it has declined.

This trip was our second time here. Some of the menu is unique, but also having American Chinese. Also. I had the fish fillet with bok choy and chili oil. It was fantastic! I'm looking forward to going back again!

Stopped by this restaurant during our family roadtrip - I think the owner really need to find a way to get rid of the bugs in this place… besides that, food is okay

If you're craving some chili oil numbing, this is the spot. Formerly located in Pawtucket

Ordered takeouts couple of days ago. The food tasted great with reasonable quantities. BUT if you pay with credit card(s), they charge extra ~3% on your credit cards!

I really enjoy the food here and used to order from them all the time, but their price increases over the last couple years have been a bummer. Especially when portion sizes on some items are much smaller now and include less ingredients. I hope they drop these prices down, because I’d love to continue supporting them. The cold wood ear salad is delicious.

The food is as great as it was when we used to go to the old location! Great family friendly restaurant. Food is fantastic and the service is amazing! 10/10 would recommend! Forgot to take before photos! But as you can see we devoured everything!

Good Chinese spot for specialized Chinese foods. Good and slightly different take on Orange Chicken. Enjoyable.
Kinda sad on the white rice though. Didn't seem fresh or sticky, maybe cause I showed up really late at night. Not gonna fault them for it, but will try at a different time of day.

The food here is cheap and comes out fast, but that’s all the good I can say. It’s greasy and poor quality in general. The restaurant itself is dark and depressing.
