We ordered from the secret authentic Chinese menu and ordered some appetizers from the Dim Sum Collection as well. I was very excited to find a place that offered these dishes as I haven’t been able to find them anywhere else. Unfortunately, the service was subpar. The waitress was unfriendly and left us alone for almost our whole meal. Another waitress had to bring us boxes and our check (which took probably 15 minutes to bring back to us). The food was okay, we ordered Mapo Tofu which was probably the best thing we had even though it wasn’t spicy enough to be authentic. The Yangchow fried rice had no flavor and all of the meat was dry. They didn’t have the xiao long bao (soup dumplings) so we ordered har gow (crystal shrimp dumplings) and the sichuan dumplings. They were both okay. The dumpling sauce was strange and tasted lemony. All in all, it was very mediocre food and the service really made the whole experience worse. I may be willing to try other items on the menu, but would be hesitant because the price point doesn’t really reflect the quality of the food or service.

Previously we have eaten a duck dinner here that was quite good. Today we new the duck (pulled) over rice meal sounded different. After ordering we found it quite different and very disappointing.The meal started with a cold egg roll served with a very small portion of duck sauce. The duck arrived and it was as much just skin as there was meat. Some of the meat was ok but bland, but most was overcooked and tough. We ordered brown rice (2 dollar up charge) but still received white rice and some decent broccoli crowns on top.Sadly the broccoli was the best part of the meal.Service was poor! Had to ask for drink refills, soy sauce, etcPossibly last trip here- it seemed like it was more than just an off day!

My son took me here for lunch. I ordered the steak hibachi.. The menu said they only use USDA steak, but my steak didn't taste like steak. It had a weird smell, I only took a couple of bites and decided that it wasn't going to eat anymore. About 15 minutes after I stopped eating I started getting very bad stomach cramps. My son ordered the sushi, he enjoyed his meal. I won't return.

I dined here with a large group participating in a convention this weekend. The restaurant was very busy and the food was amazing and came out quick. I ordered the hibachi chicken and my family member ordered shrimp fried rice. The ginger dressing on my salad was top notch, the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the chicken was well seasoned and high quality meat. I wish I had a photo to share, but we were so hungry that we ate it too quickly! It appeared that they may be local, small business owners, and they are doing their very best to serve this high traffic area of Greenville. Give this spot a try if you are looking for a quality dinner out!

Great atmosphere n prompt seating for Sunday dinner over the long weekend. Loved the hosting n the overall service.The veggie dumplings and the Szechwan pork gyoza were great as appetizers. The chicken fried rice and the wok vegetables were awesome as well.Will be back here soon.

The food was incredible! Love it! The service was quick and the waitress Stephanie was very service oriented! 10⭐️

The server was extremely rude. I ordered vegetable ramen and it had some dumplings in it and that was not on the menu. So I asked her if it had any meat in it and she said, “I don’t know. You can just put it on the side or give it to your friends. I don’t care.” Literally word for word. Why would I order vegetable ramen and it has meat in it? I’ve been a vegetarian for over 5 year so I don’t like when meat is in my food. The lady was so to me for no absolute reason.

Great food. Good ambience. Quick service.

I truly love the food from this restaurant but each time I get delivery, there is something missing. Never anything too big but, something to ruin the eating experience. Duck sauce, white sauce I paid for, added chicken I paid for. If they fix that, experience would be better. Not sure to stop ordering or just be grateful.

Delicious food. Great service.
