Bathroom is disgusting.. understaffed

Ordered delivery thru UberEats, they had a BOGO deal on soups + $5 off + no delivery fee, which was great! No idea what happened to my first driver but they bailed after sitting at the restaurant for a while, second one also seemed to get caught waiting but I got my order & then started to wonder if all the savings were too good to be true… The wonton soup was extremely dark, and smelled kinda like burnt peanuts while the wontons had some sort of almost crunchy texture inside. Ordered the chicken & broccoli bowl, but it seemed… off somehow? The chicken was okay, seemed to be hibachi style (dry & cubed) while the broccoli was cooked in the traditional brown sauce I’d expected (more sauce + tasted different/better than the chicken). The fried rice it came on was wet enough to leave a small pool of oil on the bottom of the bowl but otherwise tasted pretty good, with a generous amount of fried egg. Not sure I’ll try again, I think I’d have been disappointed paying full price.

Never again. My delivery arrived an hour late, but worst of all - most of the food was inedible. Instead of beef lo mein, they sent fried rice. The calamari for $13 - still raw & swimming in oil. General Tso's chicken - below average. I'm so bummed. I was really excited to try this restaurant.... never again.

I strongly urge you to read the health inspection report before you dine here. You will change your mind. Worst health inspection report I have seen in the Richmond area yet - not exaggerating. My friend worked here for a month before leaving due to improper cleaning standards and health concerns.

I ordered take out, so I did not see inside of the store. I ordered beef and broccoli, it came in a big container but was mostly sauce. I could count the broccoli and beef. It was so salty it gave me a headache, I felt like sheet after eating. I wouldn't ever eat there again.

California sushi roll was bad. Vegetable crispy rolls were soggy. The miso soup was good.

Pretty bad, delivered in styrofoam! With that Fake wasabi stuff. I prefer lucky AF - they have really good quality sushi.

I ordered the spider sushi roll and shrimp tempera ramen. I was disappointed in my ramen because it was cold!! I thought the sushi roll was okay but didn’t have much flavor and the pickled ginger was dry lol. I really was expecting a lot from this place but hey I gave it a chance.

Not a bad spot! Has a huge variety of cuisines on their menu so it's a good place to go if you're not sure what you're craving. Convenient location with a parking lot, street parking and plenty of space inside the restaurant.

I had the Sesame chicken. The sesame chicken was good, pretty standard for Chinese food. A friend got the chicken lettuce wrap, and that was tasty as well.

Food was mediocre at best. Felt like it was frozen and microwaved to the table. Lettuce wrap was not great. Service seemed too busy to do much. Wouldn’t suggest going here for the prices.
