The food was delicious. The restaurant. It tasted fresh, clean, and not made with a ton of salt or MSG.
The portion sizes are generous and served with rice.
The food is prepaid quickly. The restaurant is decorated in traditional Chinese decor. I almost feel whisked away to a different time and place. One where life is simple, peaceful, and pure.
I highly recommend this establishment.

Ordered salt and pepper chicken, which is normally fried chicken sautéed with onions, salt and pepper. Definitely didn’t get any fried chicken. What i got was a completely bullshit stir fry. This was my first time here and definitely my last! Waste of money and time

Our first time here. We had the family meal for 2. There was enough food to feed 4! We loved the food and our waitress was very sweet. Restaurant was clean, people friendly and food very good.

Use to go there all the time when I worked up that way. Retired now and I usually only go to one place. But they are closed until later this month. So I drove up there because I know it was good. Not so! I seen them taking food out to a table it looked good. One of the same thing I ordered. My beef fried rice had no coloring and had no taste. It was awful. The other order was for my husband who got chicken lo mein. Same thing. He said it was awful. So disappointed because I always liked them.

I have been going to this place since i was a little girl. it’s been over 10 years, and the ingredients and quality of food is still amazing and not cheap tasting. this place has the BEST crab rangoon, hands down, that i’ve ever had in my life and it’s made in house!!! and i have been to ALOT of chinese places. the ladies who work here are sweet and work hard. this will forever be my favorite chinese restaurant ever!!

This was our first visit since we heard new owners took over.
Sadly we won’t be back. The fried rice and hot braised chicken and pork were not good. The fried rice is not “homemade” and it had an odd taste.
The appearance of the restaurant has really declined. And the poor fish in tank must be miserable as dirty and algae filled the water and tank is.

I was impressed the first time I tried this place, and I’m still impressed after multiple visits. It’s not necessarily “cheap” Chinese takeout like you can order from some of these other strip mall places, but it also doesn’t taste like cheap Chinese takeout. Under $40 for a couple is well worth it for the quality!

I so wanted to enjoy my meal here. So disappointing.
So to start off, as I’m waiting, one of the cooks comes out of the bathroom as the toilet is flushing. Come on man, you gotta wash your hands. He didn’t even mime a wet hand motion. I should have left then and there, but oh well.
The lunch special Sesame Chicken and side of lo mein were terrible. I get it, it’s American Chinese food but this was a terrible representation of even that. Hard and flavorless rice, bland and cold chicken, the lo mein noodles tasted vaguely of soy sauce…and that’s it. For this I was charged almost $20.
I can only assume the other raving reviews are from people who have never eaten Chinese food elsewhere. But it was so disappointing and I will definitely never go back.
***I cannot emphasize just how bad this Lo Mein was. It made me stop my meal and immediately write a review, something I don’t do***

This is by far one of the BEST Chinese Restaurants! The ingredients are fresh, the portions are good, and the price is good. The staff is extremely friendly. I live local but travel the country each week. I been to Chinese Restaurants all over the US. This place is special and the staff puts their all into it. I have never had a bad meal or bad experience here. This place is clean and neat too. I highly recommend this spot and supporting local.

The restaurant is tasty, but overpriced for the amount of food they give and quality. Also, they charged $.50 cent extra for fried rice. There is no veggies or pork in it. All they do is add soy sauce to the Steam white rice. I could of done that myself!!! They used to be okay, but they have cut back on portions, giving you less for more money.
