You can never go wrong with anything from their menu. Impeccable service and delicious food. I always dine there when in town. I highly recommend you check out this hidden gem. Street parking is meter fed.

I really wanted to like this restaurant a lot since I felt the service was very good and friendly. However, the food was just ok bordering on the brink of disappointment. We ordered a stir fried tofu and sesame chicken with lemon sauce. The portions for both were on the small end vs price. The tofu had a slight sour aftertaste. The chicken was ok but the lemon sauce was just plain gross. I can't even describe it. It tasted artificial and sweet. They really shouldn't serve this sauce anymore. They provide hot hand towels at the end of the meal which was nice. However, they do add a surcharge for using a credit card which I didn't see disclosed beforehand so that was a surprise when I received the final bill.

Came for a friend’s birthday dinner, and cannot wait to come back! Every dish was delicious, and pushed me outside my comfort zone just enough (I’m a fairly picky eater). Service was fabulous, and the restaurant gave us glasses of NA Prosecco as a treat since we were celebrating! Such a welcoming, lovely experience.

This is the third time I’ve come here. The dessert drink was absolutely delicious, I haven’t had a drink this yummy for a while. We tried several dishes and we loved the catfish. It was crispy and juicy. The crispy mushroom was not my favorite. The breading was too thick and hard made it difficult to eat. The flavor was really good I just wish the breading was lighter. Buttermilk chicken is good, I loved the grits. Overall it was a fantastic experience again, I would recommend it to my friends.

Wow, this place is absolutely beautiful once you walk in and get's better. Came here with a friend for a early dinner / lunch, the place was on the quieter side and the staff were extremely attentive and nice. We stayed rather long and did not feel rushed as the place began to pick up. Our server answered all of our questions and gave us great recommendations. We ordered a little of what felt like everything, started with dumplings, dan - dan noodles which were SPICY for me even though we got mild. They were accommodating enough to withhold meat. We ended with the fish blossom which OMG? The presentation insane. Everything was absolutely delicious and would definitely go back.

We visited this chinese restaurant for a friend’s birthday and had a great experience. Since we had a large group, we ordered a variety of dishes to share — mostly spicy ones. Fair warning: the spicy dishes here are very hot, so order with caution if you’re sensitive to heat! The restaurant had a fantastic atmosphere with beautiful decor and lively vibes. Service was good, and the quality of the food was excellent across the board. I’d definitely come back — but next time, I’ll go a little easier on the spice!

We had to pay $14 for ramen that turned out to be just regular noodles, and the taste was absolutely terrible. When we complained, the cashier insisted it was ramen, but it was very clear that it was just regular noodles. I also ordered a spicy shoyu ramen for $10, and even that wasn’t spicy. I had to ask the cashier, and only then did they give me the spice separately. I’ve eaten ramen at many other restaurants, but this is the first time I’ve encountered such an odd version. It tasted like simple miso soup, which usually costs only $4, with regular noodles and some pork added, but I had to pay $14—more than the shoyu ramen, which actually used proper ramen noodles. This was extremely disappointing, and I will not return to this restaurant.

I usually order a large plain lo mein for $7.50 and egg rolls for $2.35 and I also sometimes buy the $7.50 fried dumplings. So I know my total is usually the same. Less than $20-$21. And I ordered my routine and I was given a higher total but I picked up the menu and assumed the prices went up. I get into the car and search my bag and I’m missing food. I was given the huge family size lo mein for $10.50 and my egg roll was missing. My total was over $24 when it’s usually $19-$20. I don’t get how $22.65 leads to $24 and a lot of change but the cashier was slay and didn’t give me a receipt. I can assume there was an error or that the cashier thought I said “family size” and not a large. But the missing egg roll, the high taxes and the fact that he didn’t give me a receipt after I ordered and after I picked up food is a red flag. The food isn’t bad at all though it’s not the best Chinese food or fried rice and seasame chicken. The noodles, veggie egg rolls and veggie dumplings are good. ALWAYS get a receipt and I had to go back in and ask for a missing egg roll.

Looks a little run down inside. They store stuff up front. Don't let that deter you. Food is really good and fairly priced here! Mongolian Beef is especially good. Kids love the General Tso.

Orange chicken was bland as hell tasted no orange. Chow Main tasted old. But definitely not worth the price of what you get.
