Normally I have a good experience here but last night I ordered take out and my son got the spicy noodle soup and when he took a bite there was a metal shaving in it. Luckily he did not swallow. I also ordered the vegetarian tempura combo and the pot stickers were pork. This experience put a bad taste in my mouth which is too bad cause I love this place.

My family has gone here for over 25 years. It is our favorite Chinese restaurant & where we go for special occasions! I love the taste of everything I've ever ordered but usually end up getting my favorite dishes, all vegetarian with soy 'chicken'. They also offer meat dishes, so any meat eaters can get what they want as well. When I'm buying, everyone eats veggie, but my meat-eating kids don't mind because they love the soy 'meat'!My favorites (all soy chicken) Moo Goo Gai Pan, Mu Shu Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken. Also veggie Won Ton Soup & Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls. My kids also like the Hot & Sour Soup, & the beef & seafood dishes.Vegetarian options: There is a complete separate vegetarian menu as well as a separate meat menu. A lot of variety to choose from. This is the only place I've ever found that does a perfect vegetarian Sweet & Sour Chicken!

The food is cheap by current standards, but they seem to be cutting corners on quality. The pho was the worst; some of the ingredients that come on the side had mold on them (!!!) and the broth just didn't taste good either. This place has been here forever but at best it's just "generic mediocre chinese" - and these days there are better options in Salt Lake. It's just not worth going here currently.

I can't speak for every dish but I had the sweet and sour chicken and it was only OK. I have had much better. It came with a vegetable roll which was overcooked and not enjoyable at all. Even the fried rice was only marginal.

Wasn't expecting a lot at first, it looks like a simple place from the outside but is actually beautifully decorated on the inside. There is a mix of Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese food here, which surprised me; the options are endless! We ordered the Vietnamese curry and Hong Kong Style Beef which came with broccoli and rice, both were delicious!! Service was very friendly and refilled our waters without us asking. Would recommend to anyone who wants some relatively decent-priced food in Salt Lake!!

This is the best pho broth I’ve had in SLC. Downsides- no tendon or tripe, but the broth is on point and one of the best bowls I’ve had. (I am from Houston and have eaten a lot of bowls of pho.)No photo bc I ate it too fast and there was nothing to take a picture of

Contrary to most reviews, I had a really good experience here. They have a lot of vegan options! We ordered the veg lettuce wrap, veg mushu chicken, and veg flat noodle tofu. Pretty decent size portions too. Will definitely be going back.

I travel a lot for work and I usually struggle to find a good place to eat, when I say I was left speechless I mean it! Food and service were phenomenal! I would come back here and make it my go-to spot anytime I am in town.

Our family has been coming here since they opened over 25 years ago. We absolutely love the food and atmosphere and now our grandchildren enjoy the cuisine as much as we do.
