Best Chinese/Asian food in Carbondale hands down. Servers and cashiers are always polite and sincere. Been coming here for years and I always have a smile on my face after eating their food. The food is always easy on my stomach. I appreciate locally owned places like this and I hope everyone who doesn’t know about them gives them a shot at least once! I definitely appreciate this place.

Had the teriyaki chicken for the first time and I have a new favorite now! Food is always hot, fresh, and amazing and there’s plenty to take home for a lunch the next day. Best Chinese food in Carbondale, without a doubt!

Food is made to order, and was excellent! Sweet and Sour chicken and General Tsao’s were fresh and the best weve had in ages! Service up front was great, the gentleman explained everything and was very happy to help. Our first time there today but won’t be our last!

Stopped in around 8 for a late dinner. Ordering food was easy. Came out at a decent time and was fresh and hot! Another costumer let a dog in and they handled the situation wonderfully.

First time trying this restaurant out after seeing a lot of people on Facebook talking about the food, the food was definitely worth all the hype! We loved the fried rice and both the chicken dishes we ordered. Will definitely try it again.

Its needs more decorations to keep restaurant feel more comfortable to feel inside. But its so quiet there especially echoes talks back same time with same conversation. I’m deaf and hard of hearing but I also wear cochlear implant so yeah I will come back if its pickup or I can online ordering too.
