Customer Reviews
Happy I tried them! This is my first visit, ordered combination fried rice & egg rolls. The rice good, egg rolls were fresh, crispy👍🏽
Order their orange chicken every time i go, and it is definitely worth the price. It is delicious, and you get a very large portion. I go here whenever I want Chinese and I have always had a good experience.
Absolutely disgusting!!!! I order a “Beef & Broccoli” Wednesday, April 10, 2024 and the beef gravy was slimy. I called the restaurant and they refused to give a refund
I ordered egg foo young and a shrimp fried rice. The food was bland with no flavor at all. I had to add my own seasonings once I made it home. This will not be my go to spot for Chinese rice.
Wow. I was a little unsure due to the reviews but this place was better than any Chinese food I ever had - and I have tried a lot. Better than the other 4.5+ rated restaurants nearby. Mongolian beef and pork pan fried noodles were awesome. Would love to try more. *Note: they seem to have different chefs on different days who prepare the same dish in different styles. I noticed the Friday night chefs were better than the monday nights. Some days better than others.
