November 2024: I gave them another chance after speaking with a friend. It may be a cultural difference. My dad wanted the food I said was the best around the city. I picked him up some combination fried rice. He loved it. They treated me better, too. I was in a sweat suit, so things have changed. One thing that hasn't is their food. It's delicious as usual. November 2022: I'll never eat here again. The food is excellent, but it feels hostile. I don't know if it's because they think I'm not going to pay because I'm in sweats. Either way, what I wear shouldn't matter. I really love the food but I don't go where I'm not wanted. That's the vibe, unfortunately. I ordered the lunch special. I didn't get the soup but didn't ask for it either. It's their special they should be asking me which soup I want with it. It doesn't happen, and by the time I remember. They're staring me down as I eat, and I'm uncomfortable. August 2022: I ate at the restaurant. I had the orange chicken lunch special with fried rice. An additional beef brisket and Wonton noodle soup. I didn't get my soup that came with the special. I didn't realize it until now. It was another great experience. I couldn't finish the soup. Next time, I'll stick with the soup they give you with the lunch special or just get the soup solo. That was a big bowl of soup. That was a meal in itself. June 2022: I got a to go order, and it was slamming. The customer service was on point. It was easy to pay and quick. The portions were good as always. I got the lunch special with an extra order of egg rolls. I love their egg rolls. Their wontons are excellent, too. May 2022: I ate at the restaurant.I loved their food it was exceptional. I think the customer service could use improvement upon entering the restaurant. I was ignored for 10 minutes, but I figured they were giving me time to plan my order. Then I had to ask for the soup that came with the lunch special. Conversation with the owner was great. It turned the whole customer service issue around, but I had to mention it for future customers. Until next time.

Had lunch here today and food was really amazing ! I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and my lunch date ordered the Beef Low Mein. Both dishes where really good. It was fresh, hot and delicious. We both had the lunch special that came with egg rolls and a wonton and soup. The egg rolls where so good I ordered 4 more to go. Kevin the owner and his wife where very nice and personable and brought us some Sesame dessert balls to try. They where delicious as well. We will definitely come here again to try other dishes. We both highly recommend. Also, you get a lot for the price.

Decent all you can eat hotpot. We came here on Saturday around 5:40pm and the restaurant wasn’t too busy. We got table right away. Order was easy. Food took a bit of time to get ready as we ordered for 4 people at once. Almost everything was good. The squid was too chewy than normal fresh squid, so I was unsure of its quality. The soup base flavor was simple and didn’t stand out much. There is a sauce bar at the end that you can mix up some stuff as you go. Staffs are friendly. Restaurant was clean. Good price for all you can eat.

I have visited this place twice and had a great experience both the times. They have variety of choices in the menu. The service is great. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is just okay but not below average. Just remember to order only as much as you can eat.

Finally tried this place after driving past it so many times and I'm sure glad I did! We ordered a Cantonese bowl and lo mein noodles during lunch hours which include an egg roll, rice and salad/soup. Everything was delicious, fresh and good portions. Service was very prompt as well and pricing is decent. Will definitely be back to try more dishes! Also, a cute robot came to our table to give us our receipt at the end.

Very tasty! Atmospheric place. The service is very good!

I'm not sure what happened to this place but we just picked up a late dinner here and it is far from what it used to be. The fried rice and low mein actually taste stale, or old..? Mings used to have the best scallion pancakes but now they don't even include scallions.. and very flaky, without scallions, obviously the flavor is not there. Good thing they threw in egg rolls, my daughter at least liked those.. but otherwise I'm seriously contemplating taking it all back in the morning asking for my money back, it's that bad!

My service and food tonight was so good I think I tipped almost %50 of my bill. I had curry chicken and a Tsing Tao so my order wasn’t much but my waitress was very busy and doing a great job. I sat down and there were no tables on wait and when I finished there was several people waiting for a table. I definitely recommend this place for great food and service from all front of house staff members. My chicken was delicious as well.

I *really* want to like this place: after all, the idea of a Chinese scoop restaurant is beautiful and wonderful and should be preserved! …but it’s kind of a love-hate relationship. Look… for this class of restaurant, I’m not expecting gourmet food. The food shouldn’t have to be complex or healthy or beautiful. What I *am* expecting is relatively fresh food that comes out quickly and is a good price. For $11.99, you get 3 scoops and lo mein (or rice, or half and half). It really depends on what you get for whether it will be piled high or not. Be ware that the dishes like “kung pao chicken” don’t have much chicken, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing—we like vegetables! And this place certainly does too: they will give you lots of “butter potatoes” (fries, basically), but maybe not so much jalepeno chicken. The noodles WERE fresh (but they were also mixed with old noodles that had been sitting out for a while). The salt and pepper shrimp was somewhat stale and DEFINITELY too salty. I was super excited about the s&p and picked it even though you only get 4 per scoop with the combo. The service was friendly! And kind and very competent. Just not extremely fast, limited mainly be the kitchen. I understand that there’s a turn-around associated with fresh food, but waiting for 15 or so minutes when you’re just staring at this buffet line of food, as are the four people who have been waiting even longer than you, wondering why they weren’t prepared for this is just… confusing, man. I recommend supporting businesses like this because they are close to a great deal (certainly they are at least a good deal;)), and the food is tasty, for sure. The family working here obviously works really hard, and I’m happy they’re so close to my home. Just wish I could’ve said I had a better experience this time. Anyway, it did hit the spot:) so thanks, bird’s nest!

I went about 30min before close, the noodles were a bit lumpy, greasy and soft but can't complain since it was about to close. Go around lunch time or early dinner to get the fresher food. Good variety of options and sides like the SUGAR donuts! Those hit the spot! Tip them nice for their hard work to keep these local scoop businesses open. 🫡

Their food is always fresh and delicious, I don't understand why so many people write bad reviews, I have been eating here for many years and have ordered more than 4000 times delivery, my favorite food is their skinny rice noodles and sweet and sour chicken , sesame chicken and sesame beef , beef is tender !! ( They deserve 5 stars )

I’ve ordered from this place multiple times, and it never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My favorites are fried rice noddle and hot sour soup, but honestly, everything I’ve tried has been delicious. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is fast and friendly. If you’re looking for great Chinese takeout, this is the spot! Highly recommend!

Great service when I got a to-go box of food. The shrimp and some other dishes aren't too salty which is good and there is always soy sauce if you want more flavor. Broccoli was on point and delicious! Lots of flavor and options to choose from. I didn't get to try the dumplings but they looked good. Saw a guy get like 6 of them and LATHER sweet and sour sauce all of over it. Looks bomb lol. And the thin fried fish was pretty good, I thought it would have been chicken since chicken is cheaper. I will be back to try other items later on. If you're going to dine in like other restaurants, go when it's the busy rush time to get the freshest food and on weekends. Very respectful owners and even gives a free drink with to-go meal which other places don't offer. Support local businesses and use common sense when choosing food. Some other reviews said they got bad food, use your eyes and best judgement.

Food was blah, but ok for a buffet. About 40 items to pick from, but it was all a little stale. We got here at 5pm and some of the items had clearly been drying out for hours. But you know, it's a buffet, and you shouldn't expect 5⭐️ everything. The employees were very nice. They cleaned up empties quickly. Drinks were not self serve and I think they cost extra on top of the buffet cost.
