I really used to love this place… I went probably once a week. Was a fantastic little spot in Mill Creek. Who knows why things decline but, sadly, such is the case with this place. Really poor food quality. Oily, extremely sauce heavy and the sauce is not even that good. The rice that I had was dry and that really spoiled the whole meal.I went with family yesterday and there is a new server who would probably rather be doing anything but that. To say that he is unengaged is an understatement. He probably was asked by his family members to work or he has some external pressures which require him to work there, but whatever the case it makes for a poor experience. I had to get up and ask for numerous things that were forgotten initially.It looked like they were super busy with phone and Uber orders and I am happy for them because I want them to succeed. I just don’t think I personally can eat there again because the food lately has just been extremely bland or oily as mentioned or just tasteless and it is so obvious that it’s done quickly in a hurried fashion just to get it out and slap it in front of the customers. There is no attention to detail and none on quality anymore.A person can really tell when a restaurant puts their heart and soul into making food for the customers and this particular place is soul-less.I gave it three stars because I have memories of the good old days where everything was very good and how my family and I used to go there and have such a great time, but if I was being honest, I would give it one or two stars for the food quality. And one star for the new server. I hope he finds his place in this world, but it’s certainly not there.Owners… Please bring back the care and quality that you used to have. Your wonton soup was by far the best I’ve had in a while and now the quality is nowhere near what it used to be. Your fried rice was so saturated in oil and the rice itself was either old or made way earlier or dry or something… Even your white rice was extremely dry and tasteless, please do not compromise Quality, perhaps figure out a way to give the best of both quality and Quantity. If need be -then hire another chef to meet the increased online/phone orders. But by no means let your quality drop even further.

Good neighborhood restaurant, the dinning area is a bit small but they have consistently good food.

Atmosphere and service are great. It was reasonably quiet for much of our visit until the tables all got booked (this is a small place). Honey walnut chicken was really tasty but I do wish there were more walnuts. There were only about 6 or 7 on the side, more like a garnish than part of the dish. I wish they had been mixed in all over. One of the best things about this place is you can get the food MSG-free upon request!

Pretty disappointed in my meal. Almost nothing in the crab rangoons, they tasted pretty good for being mostly empty. The orange beef was overcooked, had a crispy burnt flavor from being fried too long. Overall too pricey for below average food. Hopefully I just got a bad batch.

Food quality and quantity were good and at a fair price. Ordered online and food was ready for pickup on time. Service was friendly and polite.

Ordered the sampler appetizer, almond chicken, chicken fried rice and egg drop soup . Our Chicken fried rice had a metal wire in it and was completely bland and the chicken was rubbery. The sampler was soggy and definitely bland. The Almond chicken was so thick with breading that was moist it wasn't my taste but maybe someone else would enjoy it. After we found the metal wire in the rice we just couldn't eat anything else .

We've been going here for years, usually takeout. The owner is really friendly and the food is good. Our favorite dish is the general tso's chicken - there sauce is SO good compared to any other place we've tried. We also highly suggest the Singapore noodles.
