I always add an order of the crispy/fried green beans. And I usually keep it simple (fried rice, Singapore noodle, ect) but after seeing pictures in other reviews, I might try something new next time! The flavors are always clean & robust. The food comes out lightening fast. The servers are nice and attentive. Water glasses always refreshed. Plates quickly cleared for more space. Overall a really good experience.

Our experience here was phenomenal – we were promptly seated and waiters were always available. We tried their salt and pepper chicken, sweet and sour pork, and their shitake mushroom with peapod sprout. The chicken was alright and was seasoned well, the sweet and sour pork had too much sauce to it. However, the real star of the show was the mushroom and peapod sprout. This is easily one of the best Chinese vegetable dish we’ve had in a long time – the sprout and mushroom was cooked perfectly and the sauce was great without over using oil. The sprout had a satisfying texture to it and the mushroom had all the flavor of the sauce when you bite into it. This is honestly as good if not better than how my mom does it, and she’s an amazing cook that runs her own restaurant. Absolute 10/10, this one dish alone tells me that this restaurant puts attention and care on specific dishes. Will come back to try more.

Excellent crab rangoon‘s and sweet-and-sour chicken. The restaurant was somewhat unkempt, but overall clean. Service was direct and efficient with no frills of courtesies.

Excellent service and food. Also loved the big lazy Susan on the table for family style.

The last time I came here I was a teenager and they had a fish tank, the restaurant was real bougie looking and the food was amazing. I am now 32 and my brother asked me to come here for nostalgia sake today. Though the decor/ is much more relaxed than back then I must say their food is still soooo good and I’m glad that hasn’t changed at all. The crab rangoon is my favorite, it has no competition elsewhere. The cantonese pan fried noodle with combo (chicken, beef, and shrimp) and vegetables was as flavorful as I remember and the scallion pancakes made me happy. The Calamari could be better in my opinion and the walnut shrimp lacked that crunchy honey coated texture that’s supposed to be underneath all that mayo, but other than that…this will have to be my chinatown spot from now on..I was honestly afraid to step foot back in here cause of how much it could change throughout the years and ruin my memories but this was a good sibling dinner decision.

Folks, this review comes from my wife, someone born and raised in rural Oklahoma where good Chinese food is pretty much….. nonexistent. This is well and truly the best Chinese food we have ever had. I got steamed bbq pork buns which were on the special, they were delicious, obviously hand made. General Tsaos chicken and also sweet and sour chicken from the lunch menu still had tons of leftovers and the lunch menu is around $12 until 3:00 weekdays. Also, they have a full page vegetarian menu!

The meal was amazing. When we entered the resteraunt were we nicely greeted and then seated. The lunch spel came with the main course, choice of rice and soup, and also an egg or spring roll. The food came out hot and ready to eat!

I had a little bit of time so I stopped in and had a nice dinner. The hosts, waiters, waitresses were friendly,, informative of the menu and even suggested a few entrees which I will try next time I visit. The food was fresh hot and served in a timely manner. My favorite dish was the Egg Drop soup. This restaurant is reasonably priced. I was satisfied I stopped in.
