Never been here before but it was just as good as I expected! A few similarities between certain dishes visually but the taste is what really makes a difference haha. It was a little slow around lunch tike but started to pick up once 2pm hit. Great options when it comes to the menu. Parking is just as fair ?

My husband and I are so happy we found a Chinese restaurant we love down here. Our favorite place was in Tulsa. The food tastes great and everyone is always so nice!

It's probably one of the worst Chinese foods I have ever visited. The food was really odd, and the service was pretty same. But it's cheap.

Found this little restaurant while searching for Asian buffets. Even though it is NOT a buffet, it is a good place to eat. I took my dad here and we both enjoyed it. We went on a Thursday during lunch time and there was only a couple of other customers present. For how good the food is you would think they would’ve been packed during lunch. (They did get a lot of to go orders by phone while we were there) This just allowed the waitress to attend to us quickly. We choose from their lunch menu and selected chicken lo mien and szechuan beef plates. Both came with fried rice, fried spring roll, and a soup. We choose the egg drop soup. It was all good, especially that egg drop soup. My meal was under $10 and my dad’s was around $12. They have vegetarian options as well.I recommend going here. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures this time.

The service was wonderful and the food is delicious. We've been searching for a place to get really good Chinese food since moving to Texas and we finally found it! We haven't had really good fried crab puffs in almost 20 years and this place finally met our expectations. We'll definition be back!

I have ordered take out from this restaurant two times and have been extremely pleased both times!! The food is delicious— some of the best Chinese food I have had! And the portions are very generous! My orange chicken dinner special was could’ve been enough for 2. And the Singapore noodles (which are delicious, but very spicy!!) can easily serve 2 or 3 as a side item. I would say this is one of, if not the best Chinese restaurant in The Woodlands. Delicious food, quick and friendly service —five stars all around.

I really like this place, and I've been ordering from here on and off for years. I've mostly done takeaway, but have dined in a few times.The only negative thing that comes to mind is the restaurant occasionally smells of cleaning chemicals, but I never found that offensive, especially given alternative smells a restaurant could have. I'd rather it be clean.I most often get mapo tofu with pork, orange chicken, and beef with broccoli. All of which are decent enough to bring me back. Mapo tofu in my limited experience can be pretty hit or miss, but I really like theirs. I don't know that it's going to compete with the best of the best, but this is a favorite, consistent, and reliable restaurant for me, which I'd recommend.I noticed some negative reviews mentioning the staff rudeness. The worst I've seen is shortness and efficiency. On average, everyone's been very nice and pleasant, and I actually like the shortness on the phone. It makes for a very efficient ping-pong like ordering experience that doesn't waste time. My guess is people are mistaking shortness for rudeness, but I've never gotten the impression anyone was aiming to be rude.Parking: It's in a strip center, and I've never seen a parking issue here.Kid-friendliness: I don't know that it's overly kid friendly (if your kid has trouble sitting still, this isn't a great choice), but my kid did okay. And, one time, a waitress was exceptionally nice to him.

A great local place with very awesome food! My favorite was the crispy shrimp roll with the sesame chicken! The crispy shrimp rolls were very crispy (my favorite) and the sesame chicken was a classic ? also very awesome customer service! They’re very attentive and don’t leave you waiting forever but most of all they take care of you. Loved my first experience
