Been to this restaurant several times.. first 2 times food was absolutely amazing.... this time.. wonton soup was very salty, dark and had alot of cabbage. I also ordered the new Philly cheese and chicken egg rolls.. they are ok taste wise but absolutely no cheese.. just the meat and onions.. very disappointed they would have been very good if they had cheese.. no cheese in a Philly cheese egg roll?? This time.. I didnt finish my food and still kinda hungry šŸ˜•

We've lived in TR for 20 years. This restaurant was, for 19 of those years, pretty great, depending on what you ordered. For the past year, though, something has changed and the quality and taste of the food has taken a serious nosedive. I read something about new owners and all, and if that's the case then the new owners suck.

But, such is the way when there's a takeover, especially by a larger, more corporate entity. That's ok though, another more authentic and sincere place will come along soon with all the growth in TR. The days are numbered for places like this that sell out their long-standing status in a community for profit margin.

This place used to have the best Chinese and we went at least once a week. I loved talking to the owners and the kids were always there doing homework. I believe the kids took took it over (not sure). It it has gone downhill terribly! They really need to get back to how it was years ago!! We stopped going because it was not good (sorry to say).

The cashier who took our order was such a sweetheart 😊 we got General Tso Chicken, Chick Lo Mein, and Kung Pao to go. All were super good and the food came super quick, like 10 minutes after we ordered. Overall 10/10 takeout!

Long story short, this place is nasty! This is no exaggeration. I’m convinced they’re writing their own good reviews. Walking in the front door is a turn off by itself. The restaurant looks like an old dusty storage room from the 80’s. There’s an odd smell in the air that simply stinks. Everyone working there seems so miserable and sad. I don’t think they have ā€œbad attitudesā€. I just think they’re unhappy. I read a review saying the portions were nice and the food is delicious. All lies! It’s really a lunch sized portion that you would get any other place. I wouldn’t have any problem with the portion size nor the prices if the food was good. I ordered the honey chicken combination platter. The rice has the same taste that you smell when you walk in the door. The chicken is bland, soggy, and unappealing. The sauce is literally sweet water…like a simple syrup.. The egg roll was fresh, crunchy , but half empty. I usually give places multiple chances before I write them off. This was my second experience and both times…it’s not good. I’m assuming maybe some grandparents started this restaurant and at one point, it may have been decent. But they simply can’t cook. Now I’m on my way to another Chinese place to get food. Hopefully the owners read these reviews and really take heed. …Call Gordon Ramsey, bar rescue , or somebody. I don’t wish any family business to fail but you have to step it up.

Only decent reviews are probably because its the only place in TR. Food is pedestrian at best.

We dined in. The food was good. The service was minimal. Two tables were sticky. They wiped off one table. The other table we sat out was still sticky.
