Customer Feedback

While many guests appreciate the effort in reopening, feedback highlights some challenges. Several diners have noted a change in menu variety, with familiar dishes no longer available. Concerns about food quality have been raised, particularly regarding taste and texture issues in dishes like egg drop soup and broccoli. These changes are speculated to be due to new management and an automated cooking system.

I agree with the reviewer below. This was the first time my family had gone to this restaurant since it’s long delayed reopening after closing for years. They reduced the menu new smaller menu and half of what my family liked is no longer on it The egg drop soup was practically broth, very little "Drop" just "stock". The broccoli was mushy and had an extremely sweet taste as well. None of the food tastes like how it did in the past, I would say a lot of this might be a result of the new automated cooking system they are using. Seems to be more young people working at this place now, A lot more interested in taking bong rips out the back door rather than cooking the food. This had been a family of 10's favorite Chinese restaurant for a very long time. Very few of the original people are working here, I feel it was bought out. I won’t be going back.

We were pretty excited to see the reopening, but also very disappointed. I'm not sure the new style they use for semi-automated cooking is working. The food quality was much lower than to be expected. This is not just based on my one time there but also a friend of mine going twice. Hopefully they improve.

This was my first time back to this restaurant since it’s delayed reopening, due to a remodel. It was cold standing in waiting area inside the restaurant. Not a fan of the new smaller menu. The egg roll was burned on the outside to the point it had black char marks on. The contents of the egg roll were gooey and had an extremely sweet taste. The fried chicken wings were overcooked to the point the chicken was dried up, stiff and crunchy. The pork fried rice was clumpy/mushy and the pork had an extremely sweet taste to it. The lo mein had a strange color to it. It didn’t look like the lo mein I’ve had in the past. Not a fan of the new automated cooking system they are using. This had been a favorite Chinese restaurant of mine. After this experience, I won’t be going back.

I ordered the Pupu platter, I was excited to order something different. It was so disappointing, the only edible was the fortune cookie. The steak was so over cooked it was black. I threw everything away except the two shrimp. I am so surprised and disappointed. We have never had bad food before. Food is too expensive to throw away. $15 in the garbage can.

I have eaten here for years. I have had 3 instances when foreign objects were in my food. This is not just a “mistake” and I’ve had enough! I reported it to the health department and the owners refused to refund my money too so I am going to appeal it! I threw my food away so someone else isn’t injured. The first two times I had metal brillow pad in my food and this last time they cooked a zip tie into my spring roll! They have poor quality control so be aware and always check your food! Update: They now have new owners are great thank goodness!! I gave em a chance again and glad I did. Now I can support a better small business owner who is much more careful as to what they serve! The poke bowls are great and they make my order perfect every time! Custom orders too!!! Their contactless delivery at work was great. The gentleman has a cart you open to take it out. He had the card machine right there to process the payment and it prints the receipt immediately you grab. Wow A+ service now! Thank you NEW new star owners for everything. I order at least once a week!!
