Came for lunch after my son took his driving test at the DMV down the street. We were greeted as we came in and seated immediately. They brought out soup and took our drink order. We had orange chicken and Kung Pao chicken. Both were tasty. I would recommend.

The menu is VERY basic and the food was just ok. Hard to comprehend all the 5 star reviews. We are in the restaurant and also think that the Google description as a “trendy place with contemporary styling” is quite the stretch! It’s a local spot, with nice people running it but a bit gritty look and feel.

We ordered delivery and got our food very quick. The bag was super hot and I had high hopes but unfortunately when eating I noticed a lot of the meat and vegetables were cold in the middle. This made me wonder if the food was just being reheated instead of cooked when ordered. The portion size was pretty big. We order the chicken corn soup which was very tasty. The beef chow main was good but this had many cold pieces of meat. The chicken fried rice was very bland. The string beans were also cold in the middle. The honey walnut shrimp was soggy, and lastly the Mongolian beef was a bit tough and also cold in the middle. I don’t know if this restaurant is better to eat while dining in but I was pretty disappointed on my takeout order with how expensive everything was.

Food is pretty good, great welcoming and service. If you’re very hungry, no worries, the portions are huge. The only thing I didn’t feel like it was super fresh, was the tofu. It had a particular rancid flavor. Overall good price!

Such excellent food and fantastic service. We went as a group of eight people and it was wonderful. I wish I got more pictures of the amazing food but here is a picture of the potstickers. They are made fresh and they are amazing.

They brought us bottled water rather than glasses of water that we asked for and I was embarassed in front of my family to return them and then they overcharged us at $4 each. They also did not break out the items on the check but purposely showed only one total amount. Not what a reputable restaurant would do.

the service is super nice, the food is delicious, only for me (European) the portions are too big, impossible to eat 🙂

Found this hidden gem. The main highlight is the super affordable price. There isn’t much room for dine-in, but definitely a great option for takeout food. Liked all the dishes that we ordered. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for chinese takeout.
