Delightfully solid Chinese food with kind servers. I dined alone and listened to the servers greet many regulars by name and kindly chat about options. It's the kind of Chinese restaurant with white tablecloths which I always think is a special treat, added to that the consistently refilled water glasses and plentiful portions and I'm a happy duck.
Awesome food and service, big portions
Stopped in on a whim - delicious food! Didn't have a chance to try the sushi but everything else was amazing.
Had the sushi here it was pretty good fresh not many people there when I was there so I was in and out fairly quickly.
The food was absolutely outstanding. We had orange beef, tofu in vegetables, scallion pancakes, and vegetable fried rice. Everything was perfect and at a reasonable price! I highly recommend going even if you live far away.
Had the teriyaki salmon, the hot and sour soup, and the raccoon wonton. Very good and fast service.
Everytime I come here I am never disappointed, the food is always fresh and delicious and plenty of it to bring the rest home. I was there with friends and the food again did not disappoint, same results today, but, I went alone.
One of my all time favorite places for Chinese food! The quality and quantity is great! The servers are exceptional and they remember me every time! Highly recommend the beef teriyaki! I’ve told many people about it and they all agree!
Honestly a mid 4. But! hear me out. I have Americanized Chinese food cravings HARD time to time. today was one of those days. I got the Garlic Beef w/ chicken fingers. I asked for extra garlic, and extra spicy. The hot and sour soup was a nice consistency, and pretty flavorful. I added more chili oil, cause i love a little more punishment. The main, the portions is very healthy. A full plate for sure! Some of the pork fried rice was a little hard, but overall clean tasting, and the oil wasn't super gross. The beef, the sauce and veggies had that extra garlic, and taste great! Really enjoying it. BUT!!! I felt it was kind of light on the actual Beef pieces. I'm usually pretty good about pacing the rice and protein consumption to have a satisfity bite to the end, but this time around I ran out of beef pieces very quickly. The chicken fingers... mmm VERY doughy, but the batter does taste pretty good, and the oil was clean. Came out nicely golden brown, but again the breading overpowered the protein. Seems like a local favorite, tons of locals drop by this Friday afternoon to enjoy a meal with their friends, and the place wasn't packed but popular. Under $15 for lunch, leaving hella full, good value. Oh, and easy parking is a win.
Definitely one of my best experiences with chinese food. Service exemplary. No chips for the sauce :-(
