Guests have praised the taste of their meals, with some standout dishes including the twice-cooked pork, hunan fish, hot & sour soup, and kung pao tofu. The food is known for its bold, flavorful taste, especially the pork dishes, which are rich, tender, and perfectly spiced. The restaurant is a gem for anyone craving traditional or Chinese-American classics. The staff is warm, welcoming, and eager to help with recommendations, making the dining experience enjoyable. The double cooked pork belly with steamed white rice is a personal favorite, featuring crispy edges and spicy sauce that enhances the dish. Customers appreciate the affordable prices and generous portions, often enough for a light dinner with doggie bags. The interior remains clean, although some areas could use a fresh coat of paint. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, with TVs on but no sound, allowing easy conversation.

Despite some dishes receiving mixed reviews, overall, the food has been deemed excellent. The restaurant's friendly service adds to the positive experience. Many customers are disappointed to hear the Barracks Road location is closing but hope it will reopen elsewhere in Charlottesville.
