Customer Reviews
Ordered the Orange Chicken and General Tso. There was no heat (ordered medium) no flavor (except a strange almost fishy after taste which was probably burnt oil) and was way over cooked (chewy and so bad). Waste of $30. Terrible terrible quality, and we were the only ones there!! How could they mess it up that badly with literally nothing else to do???
Made the mistake of getting this new year's eve. The food was dry and overcooked , prob leftovers from earlier in the day. I got the almond chicken and it was mostly batter. Worse, it made everyone in the house sick. Now I remember why I stopped coming here.
So it was suggested that I try this place out so I did and I was very disappointed I ordered sweet and sour chicken and I had to order the shrimp fried rice separate which was about $13 to $15 they don't do upcharge for shrimp fried rice but I waited alittle minute to get my food fast forward I get home only to find out I didn't get the white rice that came with the sweet and sour chicken plus the chicken was dried out and look like they gave me scrapes of chicken the peppers and water logged pineapple for the sauce was in the side the fried rice had very little vegetables and egg in it just sad for what serving and pricey
I was hired to photograph just a few of this restaurant dishes. I learned they have been operating for over 30+ years as a family business. Mrs. Lin who is an owner has told me that she remembers serving children who are now parents and she is NOW serving their children. Talk about full circle. Their food is authentic and delicious. I had tasted the happy family reunion and the walnut shrimp. SO GOOD!!! The general tso chicken at most chinese restaurants is deep fried. Not here. It is not deep fried and it is so good and just enough spice. Such a delight. This place is busy with carry outs during the pandemic and I see why. It is because they are truly authentic and care about what comes out of the kitchen. I highly recommend this place. Also check out their Coomer location too. 14 and Haggerty.
I’m a big fan of the shrimp fried rice (have it twice a week) – it’s always perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the environment feels welcoming every time I visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed spot with delicious Asian cuisine!
