Honestly disgusting. Maybe eating in person is different? I ordered online through relay - which, let me warn you, there is no customer service for if something goes wrong. Got the vegan sesame chicken and it was PURE soaked dough, no crisp whatsoever, completely inedible. Fiancé got a chicken noodle dish - do you see any chicken in here? There were about three strips. Everything got trashed. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the vegan wonton soup was great, so if you’re craving that, go for it. I hate hate hate having to waste food or write a bad review, but it sucks when restaurants use delivery platforms that don’t try to make things right when something is cooked poorly.

This restaurant doesn't deserve a 1 star or any, the food was horrible!! I'm a vegetarian so, I'm use to eating veggie meat. However, this was plain awful!!!The food was cold and smelled rotten.The presentation of the food looked like someone opened a can of whatever and tossed sauce on top. My dog who usually gets excited about our food was disgusted. One bite and my husband threw up and we had to toss $66 worth of food in the trash. I would never order from this place again. Disappointed!!!!!

The average star rating most certainly did not match to reality. Went here based on reviews and was incredibly disappointed. Ordered one chicken dish which was 90% broccoli and one vegetarian dish. Both lacked any flavor. Got 2 dishes and lo mein and paid about $45. Not worth it at all.

I don't know how this place has good reviews. We ordered takeout and it took over an hour to arrive. It was lukewarm, bland, and tasteless. The steamed dumplings fall apart the second you pick them up, the dumpling sauce has no flavor, the chicken and broccoli have no flavor, etc. Avoid this place. I legitimately don't believe any of the five star reviews.
