Fast inexpensive and incredibly tastyGet the walnut honey prawns

Stopped in for lunch and ended up with this tasty chicken and broccoli

Good quality food. Mushroom beef was great, chicken chow fun great, 5 spice bbq ribs appetizer were good but resembled dusty lava rocks, bbq tofu great, delicious seafood clay pot, house chow fun tasty.

Good food not real expensive either I had the Hunan chicken and shrimp fried rice with chicken and a lot of green onions

Ordered 7 different dishes to go for tomorrow. Total $55 and change.

First time customer. Every item that we ordered was excellent tasting. Service was a bit slow but that was due to only two people working the restaurant including the kitchen for to-go orders and dine-in. I will be returning in the future.

Good food overall. Enjoyed the chow mien and pot stickers. I liked the hot and sour soup but I wasn't wowed by it like other places. The hot and sour soup here is sweet, like sugar was added to it.

I have never found a Chinese food place I wanted to go back to until I ate here today. Chinese food is generally not my favorite cuisine but this place really hits the bullseye. I'm not the kind of person who really eats leftovers (I knoooow, what's wrong with me haha), but today I got an appetizer, a soup and a lunch entree and I couldn't WAIT to eat my leftovers for dinner, which I'm doing as I write this.I had a strawberry yuzu spritzer, literally put a huge smile on my face. It was so tasty. Refreshing on a hot day and the flavors were phenomenal.My appetizer were fried won tons. There is a small amount of meat in them and they are fries to perfection and served with sweet and sour sauce. They were good, but I can't say I'd order them again mostly out of curiosity to see how delicious the other appetizers are.I got a small hot and sour soup. I'm a huge hot and sour soup fan, i love it when I'm sick and I love it when I'm healthy. It's my go to soup and is on par for miso soup to me. The hot and sour soup here is AMAZING. Sometimes this soup can taste kinda off, or leaves a weird aftertaste, but this restaurants hot and sour is literally perfect to me.For the lunch entree, I had the sesame chicken. They offer a limited lunch menu I didn't realize the sesame chicken would be saucy, I tend to try to pick healthier dishes but I figured well, I ordered it so. Here we go. (I obviously have never ordered sesame chicken before lol). One of the things I dislike when ordering Chinese cuisine is sometimes the fried chicken is too stringy or kinda hard. The sesame chicken was PERFECT. Juicy, just stringy enough it was easy to bite and was still moist, the breading was thick and crunchy but not too crunchy it hurts your mouth, and the sauce covered in sesame seeds was just the right amount of sweet and savory. I also had fried rice on the side instead of white rice and it had a really nice flavor, not too buttery and definitely not plain.Even reheated (via sauce pan and pot for the soup), everything tastes soooo good, even the rice (ya know how sometimes rice reheated is pretty gross? Yeah that didn't happen).I don't live super close but I'm going to make a point to eat here multiple times.Oh and also, the restaurant is very pretty. The cieling looks like shoshugibon, and it looks like there's a construction place around the corner that specializes in that so I imagine it is. The floor is concrete and the interior is minimal but feels sophisticated. The cool grey color scheme is very nice (especially on a hot day).

This is my fave place to eat Chinese food! The food is excellent! Wonton soup is delicious! Great hidin ?!
