Everything I've ordered has been amazing! Only issue is there aren't any small lunch portions. It's the same price and the same size portions all day. On that same note, you could definitely split one meal into a lunch or dinner for two with plenty for both. That would definitely make it worth the price.

This was our first time eating here. I had mushroom chicken and my husband had Happy Family. We had the hot and sour soup, as well as dumplings. The Pros: The place is very clean and the food is plentiful. Great place to have a small visit or a cozy meal. The place is not too large and you can talk to one another without being blown away with loud music or people trying to talk above one another. You might pay slightly more here, but the portion size makes up for it. The food tasted good, but I have had better. The Cons: This place is a counter order/self serve kind of place. There is no wait staff to provide you with that restaurant quality you expect. It would not be so much of a problem, except the employees were goofing off with nothing to do. The food lacked really genuine flavor. You can taste the garlic, but that was about it. Usually you can taste ginger, a little rice wine vinegar etc…, but like I said before it was good just not quite there yet. The egg rolls were thick wrappers. I really prefer the thin crunchy ones. The dumpling dough was too thick and the dipping sauce was lacking something. I still recommend it, because the food was good and plentiful, just not what I am use to.

This was our first time ordering and the food is very generous and delicious. We will be back.

The rice was very dry no matter what you did. And there was a hair in my fried rice. My spicy fried chicken had no flavor and was very dry.
