Chinese food, yeah, super yummy. Service is excellent even when they are busy. Next time I'll be back with my friends. The place has a nice atmosphere.

I’ve tried this place several times in hopes of getting one of these 5 star review orders. It’s not happening. The food leaves one resonating thought, “Im hungry and this food still isn’t tasty!” I give up. All deliveries are cold and the food, I’m a 100% positive, is the worse Chinese I’ve ever had.

Ordered the pupu platter and so far my pork is most definitely spoiled, the best way I can describe the odor is dirty genitals. They are bold as hell to serve this food to customers! I pray for their sake I don't get sick because I sit up on their toilet and clear the whole damn resturant out.

I ordered Yao's from Door Dash without reading reviews or anything.. I arrived to the restaurant and it was beyond disgusting. So I see my order was the only order on the table which furthermore let me know ..umm maybe I shouldn't eat here but hey.. I was starving and I already paid via the app.. there was a lady handling trash with gloves and literally pushing a trash can .. the young girl at the counter hollered to her to grab my food and guess what.. she did.. long story short I get home .. ify about eating my food.. took a bite and the food was old, cold, hard, and the rice was burnt and the egg rolls were too .. I went back as door dash advised and spoke with the manager who seem to not want to hear my concern because originally they wouldn't allow me to speak to him however he came to the front and dismissed everything I was saying by stating " you need to speak to door dash" .. luckily I had door dash up and was chatting with a agent! I was able to be refunded plus a small credit. Do not eat here.

Absolutely disgusting.

Today I ordered from this place using Uber eats. The Uber part was great but the food here was so unfresh I couldn’t even eat it. I was reading reviews after I ordered (Usually do it before), but since they were on Uber eats I figured it couldn’t be that bad. The food was nasty except some rice and it was cold. It was the only thing I could eat. Please listen to the bad reviews. They are not just angry customers. This food was NOT good!

Probably the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The food had absolutely no flavor. Extremely disappointed.

This is my first ever poor rating on a website, but feel compelling to share. Our takeout food was rotten. When we got home, we noticed all of the meat had smelled completely rotten. We think we were given old, spoiled buffet food. Or old expired meat that wasn't thrown out properly in order to cut costs. The chicken wings were dried out and hard, not fresh. The beef teriyaki had a ground beef texture and smelled like spoiled milk. It didn't smell like beef teriyaki in the slightest. One of us took a bite and immediately spit it out. The "barbecue" ribs had meat glue attaching multiple pieces together, and NO barbecue sauce on them. They were also dry. The lo mein was salty and had shrimp even though it said vegetable and noodles only in the description. (I'm allergic to shrimp.) We ended up throwing out all our food after realizing all the meat was spoiled because we couldn't trust any of it. When we called to let them know the meat was bad, the person who answered us didn't say sorry and hung up. We ended up getting a full refund through Grubhub and ate cereal for the night because we were so disgusted. Will NEVER come back again and warned all my friends to stay away. I will be surprised if this place isn't under investigation. To the owners: you should be ashamed of yourselves for selling rotten old meat to the public. Disgraceful. The other reviewers were receiving spoiled food too. We should have listened and never given this place a chance.

Being new to area, last Friday ordered from here for first time.Everything was very good; however oredered again tonight& old fried rice served with my entree!I'm praying I don't get sick. Steamed white rice is fine but please people ,don't take old ingredients& try to make fresh. I spit most of it out ....only took 2 bites ! I'm thinkin next Friday a cheese pizza!

I should have canceled my phone in order when I arrived at the restaurant! It was dirty, disheveled, and empty. I ordered apps and entrees. The food was so bad I am worried I might get sick. The person that took my payment was silent. I will NEVER go back and will do my very best to discourage people from ordering anything from this establishment. By the way, this is how they answer their restaurant phone: "Hello"

This food was horrible. I will never go back! I should have known when I walked in. The place was very dirty!

This is the kind of place you walk into and expect somewhat decent food, but the rice was the most disgusting thing you could put on sushi. It was very soggy and sour, not to mention the avocados were very very hard. Also, the wonton soup was very salty, didn't have any actual wontons and was yellow? I've certainly never seen yellow soup before, and I would definitely not recommend eating or ordering from here.

I went with my band on All West because we were going to Aldo's but it was full and we decided to try it. The food was decently good and the buffet was a little small but fresh. Overall the experience was great and service was also great.
