Reviews seemed amazing so I decided to try this place out.To start, if you enjoy seasoned & flavorful food than read on for the full review. If you are used to unseasoned food with low flavor then disregard this review as you will probably love this place.I was overcharged for shrimp fried rice. I was told I did not specify if I wanted a small or large so they decided themselves to give me a large (being $3 more expensive than the small). From my extensive experience, it is customary to charge for the smaller size if one has not been specified, not to choose whatever size you want. I knew it would be too much to eat, but I let it go so I wouldn’t have the rest of my food gettin cold in the car while I waited for them to correct their mistake.I ordered honey glazed walnut shrimp, shrimp fried rice, pot stickers, crab rangoon, & eggrolls.The honey glazed shrimp sauce was pretty good, but the shrimp themselves were unseasoned & flavorless, which was very noticeable even with the sauce.The shrimp fried rice had no flavor. I had to use soy sauce & sweet n sour packets to enhance the taste & it still wasn’t good enough. So that LARGE rice was wasted.The crab Rangoon were full of filling, but not crispy at all. I couldn’t tell if they were old or the soggy texture is the norm.The pot stickers were ok, but again I couldn’t tell if they were fresh or not considering the texture wasn’t as soft as it should be. It had more of an onion flavor than what I’m used to from pot stickers. The meat didn’t seem juicy. It was tightly packed so it was like a meat log was placed inside to make the dumpling. Hope that makes sense lol.Lastly, the eggrolls were along the lines of the Rangoon where it wasn’t really crispy & it had a tangy flavor I didn’t enjoy for an egg roll.I can get past being upcharged without my permission, but not when it’s in addition to being very unsatisfied with the food. Their prices aren’t too bad, but this is the most I’ve spent on Chinese & the LEAST satisfied I’ve ever been. I will NOT be retuning.

Excellent food and service! We will definitely be back.

The food is great. I've been going their for over 10yrs and not once have I been unsatisfied. Service is great!!! Alway that happy face lady who greet you with warm and nice personality.

My favorites here are, Egg rolls, Crab racoon, Pinapple chicken fried rice, Sweet and sour chicken.

My wife got herself cashew chicken was good. My satay beef sticks looked old, way overcooked.very disappointed. Guess I will have to start going somewhere else.

Best Chinese food in the area.
