The worst food I have ever had here. I use to live in Pullman and my husband being a vegan we were both able to eat. Pork fried rice had a weird taste almost like the pork was bad. I ordered lemon chicken and I swear it was orange chicken with grisel. Way to expensive, no tea and fortune cookie. Go next door to the Mexican restaurant instead. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the kitchen had no sound coming out of it. Figured everything was frozen.
Update- the next morning. The 4th time in the bathroom. I tossed the take home in the trash. I ate the pork fried rice and a few bites of the so called lemon chicken.
Took hour and a half to get are food finally got are food no rice chicken was cold was a waste of money
Saw the sign saying it had Cantonese dishes and checked the Google review photos showing some classic Chinese food with Chinese names on the menu, so I decided to give it a try. But there’s no real Chinese food here anymore; all the Chinese menu items from the reviews are gone, and it’s just American Chinese now. I waited over 25 minutes for my order, and the food wasn’t good—the meat was dry and tough, the noodles weren’t tasty, the portions were small, and everything was overpriced. They also didn’t tell you they charged a lot more to switch regular rice to fried rice. Really disappointing.

All I can tell you--as an Eastern WA resident--is that the Chinese fare in the Pullman WA/Moscow ID corridor is very, very good. Every place has a secret menu; i.e., what an Asian family would order--and this menu had some good choices. I ordered what I thought was going to be traditional Ja Jang Myeon, but our server said theirs was more Chinese, than Korean. Well I've had both, and this place gave me a bowl of noodles/sauce that easily weighed about 6lbs, haha. I'm not kidding. The expected Black Bean Sauce was a Peanut-based thick porridge, more than likely utilizing available sauces in the walk-in cooler that had to be used or thrown out, and you will never hear this guy complain. It was delicious in a, 'I've had 4-5 beers' kinda way. Wifey's obligatory Cashew Chicken was in my opinion, rib-stickin'. We've got a ton of leftovers, and will eat all of it...
I had this delivered by door dash. It was overcooked and tasteless. The chow mein was sweet. This is Chinese American only a drunk college student would appreciate

Fried rice had a gross aftertaste and it was completely unseasoned and dry, i’ve never tasted a worse fried rice in my life. Sesame chicken was extremely dry and hard to chew, never going back again.

This is the best Asian restaurant I’ve been to in a long time even better than Panda Express. They have great service and good prices. Found our new place to go. Next thing to try is the duck/lamb. I can’t wait!

Service is way below par, waitress left us without a word for ~15 mins, not even offered a glass of water, waited another ~25mins for food after order. We would have left if we do not have a hungry and grumpy kid. Food is not good either, and even when we are starving when it’s served. Ramen was instant noodle!! Unacceptable. Btw, very sketchy restrooms and flies roaming the place, I hope we won’t get diarrhea.

Excellent food and service at reasonable prices!
Well seems we should have paid more attention to the poor reviews. Got two dishes one was sweet and sour chicken. No rice? Really a Chinese restaurant without rice. Called to let them know and they didn't care. So paid $36 and got a tub of sweet and sour goo and breaded chicken that was pretty bland and an order of beef. Not good vale, not good flavor, not good customer service, NOT going back. I have lots of places I can spend my money.

I don't come in here as much as I do New Garden but I always love it here. The food is wonderful (typical american chinese food) and we've always felt welcome here. My only complaint is the parking, but there's not much you can do about it because of where the restaurant is located.
