First, the food was pretty good. I’ve eaten here before and knew I liked their food.
However, about halfway through my meal, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I looked over and, for the first time ever, I saw a German cockroach in Washington state. It was about 2 feet away from me, on the wall. I just kinda froze for a minute and didn’t know what to say or do, but was immediately grossed out.
One thing I know about cockroaches is it’s not common to see them out in the light. A quick search confirms this: “If you are seeing German cockroaches during daylight hours, it is a strong indicator of a significant infestation, as they only come out during the day when their hiding spots are overcrowded.”
This restaurant clearly has a pest problem, which is bad enough as it is, but I handled it pretty well. I called the server over and pointed it out to him. He immediately deflected and said it ‘must have flown in when [he] opened the door.’ He looked at it a moment, grabbed one of the napkins from my table and asked if he should get it. Mind you he was on my left across the table, and the roach was on the wall opposite him a couple feet from my right shoulder.
I wasn’t really thrilled about him reaching across my food and myself to try and ‘get it’ with the napkin so I said, ‘No thanks, I’d rather you don’t.’ He stepped away for a minute or two, then came back and said, ‘I’m just going to get this’. He then proceeded, napkin in hand, to do exactly what I asked him not to – he reach over the table, across my food, and then proceeded to grab at the roach, wiping it across the wall toward him, then – realizing it was still trying to get away – pinned it against the table. All of this in front of me while I’m halfway through my meal.
DURING this whole thing, while he’s smearing roach across the nearby wall and table, another server comes up and drops off my check and walks away.
I picked at a couple more bites of my food, but was so nauseated and grossed out from this experience, I left the rest of my food there and went to pay. I didn’t fuss or make a scene, maybe I should have but it’s not how I am. They said nothing more and did nothing about the check as the same person who wiped roach across my table rang me up and happily accepted payment for my meal.
Otherwise they were friendly enough, but this was one of the grossest eating experiences I’ve ever had. I will never eat here again and though I don’t often leave reviews, I feel like this should be shared so other people can make an informed decision about where they choose to spend their money.

I use to work in Tacoma in late 1990s and early 2000s and came here for lunch frequently. It was good food and great service then and still is now. I moved to Oregon in 2005 and have since moved back to Pierce County. Today, April 10, 2025, I came by for the lunch special – combination plate of sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice and almond chicken. It was delicious with plenty of food…I am taking some of it home for my dinner tonight.
The staff members are awesome! It was the same enjoyable experience that I remember way back when! I will – for sure – be back! 🙂

I’m not a fan of Chinese food, but this place made me change my mind. I had a combo #6, and it was good. Bbq pork was tender, tempura shrimp tasted great. Sweet and sour chicken tasted ok. The cost wasn’t bad for what you got. Will definitely be going back.

We hadn’t eaten inside in a few years but I’m glad we did. Even though it was busy, we were seated tight away. The service was great and there is something nostalgic about the “traditional” Chinese restaurants in the US.
We both loved our meals and loved the egg drop soup we were given right away.

I love these style restaurants. I love the family dinners and having an insane amount of food to take home. Everything here was fantastic. Stand outs were the Hong Kong chow mein, and the chicken soup. This is my new favorite place in tacoma

I went here because it had a high rating. The restaurant looked cool. Service was on point and extremely friendly. The food was awful. The Szechuan chicken was inedible. There is too much sauce. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was the worst I have ever had. There is so much batter and no shrimp. On the other hand. The Hot and Sour soup was the best I have ever had.

The service and decor is amazing. It’s classic American Chinese restaurant. They were very kind to our Sox month old.
Of what we ordered my favorite was the general tso chicken. It was very crisp. We got 8/10 spicy which I liked.
Hot and sour soup was pretty good. Lots of veggies in it which was tasty though different.
Crab Rangoon were pretty good. My wife got Mongolian beef which was too sweet for her.
We also noticed an old Sue Kidd sticker. I’m curious to see her review. We’ll be back to try more menu items.

I feel bad leaving low ratings, I’m not on here to trash businesses, but what is going on here? Three of the four dishes were just off; the most boring fried rice, noodles, egg rolls, and the sauce with the egg rolls had a synthetic coconut flavor. Who is cooking in the kitchen? It didn’t seem like someone who knows authentic Chinese food was. Side note, the almond chicken passed.

The food was very good, but the Restaurant manager didn’t understand customer service, and the owner undoubtedly doesn’t understand the importance of offering value.
I called in for takeout (which btw, you don’t get the soup if you do). It was the personal meal that included Barbecue Pork, sweet and sour chicken, spring rolls, and fried shrimp. At my request, they did replace the spring rolls, with pot stickers, which I appreciated.
I ordered the food and showed up 5 minutes later. When I arrived, it was ready. I’m not sure how to feel about that. But as it didn’t taste like re-heated food, I guess it’s good that it was fast.
When I checked the order, I noticed that there was no rice. Now the order was $26 and I also included a tip. But when I asked the waitress about the fact that it had no rice she said, “didn’t you read the menu?” I told her, I have ALWAYS had meals at Chinese restaurants where the rice is just a given. So I asked to talk to the manager. The manager didn’t seem happy that I was questioning this. She said that if I want rice I would need to pay for it. At first she said it was like $15, but that was for a full container. I asked how much for one of those SMALL containers, and she said that it would be $3.86, which I passed on.
Now most people probably could care less, but if I’m spending $30 for food, why would you want to be cheap just to save what probably cost you, $0.05? Also, the sauces that they provided for my pot stickers, seemed to be watered down.
My issue is that for years, I did marketing and advertising for businesses. Some were Restaurants. It never made sense to me that some owners (mostly foreigners) try to be so cheap. They would pay for advertising to bring in a new customer, but then penny pinch them for things that cost very little!
Yes, they saved five cents by not just saying, “we’re sorry but rice is always separate. We will go ahead and get you some this time”. But instead, they lost a return customer. They lost me bringing back others. They lost those individuals return business, as well as any others they may have referred.
I don’t get their cheap mentality! When you are feeding a customer and you are not providing it at a super low price, just offer whatever, to make their experience good. If they don’t request, extra sauces, rice, soda, or anything else that costs you less than $0.25 don’t OFFER it. But if they do ask, let it go, just give the customer what they are asking for, because they will keep coming back.
Summation- food was good, not so sure about the value. No understanding of how to treat a customer. The dipping sauce was horrific. There are other places where the owners want you to walk away satisfied. I try to frequent those establishments.

The reason for the 2 stars is because we ordered the meal for two at $26.50 a person. It included Sweet and Sour chicken and deep fried prawns. We got 2 prawns and the rest was chicken. They tried to disguise the Chicken as Prawns. So we basically got a plate of sweet and sour chicken, which turned into 2 plates with only 2 prawns.
