The best war wonton soup! Enough to share and have leftovers. When you order take out, they package the broth so the veggies and wontons for the best meal at home! One of the few restaurants in town that offer Chow Fun! And it is wonderful. I had heard they recently changed hands, the store had kind of gotten run down. Pandemic didn’t do downtown Salem any favors. The new owners have cleaned the restaurant up and it’s much better! The chefs are the same. After rediscovering them a few months ago, it has returned to one favorite downtown restaurants. Parking in back makes it easy to get my elderly mom into the restaurant.

This place was something to remember. The booths were extra sticky. The table top stuck to my forearms… all of the condiments, sitting on top of it, were also extra sticky. We ordered crap puffs and a combination D dinner. They brought us egg drop soup and it was very good. My dining partner did ask if he could have hot and sour soup and was told no because that was extra. This was the first time we have visited an Asian restaurant and not been able to have either soup with a combination meal. The crab puffs were big, but they did not have any of that fake crab in them. It was all cream cheese, and zero seasoning. The appetizer plate was fried shrimp and barbecue pork. The fried shrimp was fine but the barbecue pork was dry and tasteless. It was really bad. Next came the Mandarin chicken, which was a delight. It was actually really good, but it was not mandarin at all. It was more of the sweet-and-sour sauce that came with the crab puffs just poured on top. It was a big portion and our favorite thing that was brought to the table. The fried rice was also pretty good. It had big chunks of what looked to be frozen peas and carrots in it and it well seasoned. They brought us something called Cantonese steak and it was 100% not steak I could not physically chew through it, so I cannot tell you how it tasted because it was too tough to eat. There was a vegetable dish that was good. It had normal vegetables, but they were also too big to eat in one bite, and we weren’t given knives to cut these vegetables to eat them. It was also covered in more of that nasty barbecue pork. The service was great. Everybody was really nice. The bathroom was mostly clean, but if you do go and visit, please look up to the ceiling because by the look of their vent, it has not been cleaned in half a century. It was gross. I probably will not return to this restaurant, because there are so many other places that make better food in my opinion. If you’re looking for quantity over quality, however this place gives you a ton of food. There’s not a lot of parking, but there’s a sees candy store next-door if you come out looking for something sweet.

We had not been in several years, so my smoking hot girlfriend and I dropped in to give dinner a try. Everything we ordered was very good. We got everything we could at spicy hot levels. And it wasn’t too super spicy. The staff were nice and attentive. They have lots of menu options for vegetarians and vegans. Had a good time. Would come back again.

Great food, large portions, friendly staff. I had the spinach ravioli and it was SO good! My future son-in-law had a mountain of chicken fried rice. Would definitely recommend this place!

This restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the Salem Center. There is a food court area offering various of food choices. It was pretty empty when we made our way there. There was a nice lady who helped us with placing our orders. She was attentive and super friendly. We ordered to eat in but didn’t realized how big the portions were otherwise we would’ve gotten a to go plate. We took our time eating as it was so nice and quiet there. We’ll definitely be back.

It took a while for them to open and get going. 11:30 but once he opened he filled my plate to where I didn’t know if I could eat it all. I got it to eat there but should have got it to go. But I did eat it all, and it was real good . I would definitely eat there again if I was there and hungry.
