Highly recommend the beef roll, golden soup beef noodle and the mapo tofu. They overcooked the string beans to the point they resembled jerky but everything else was delicious. Great service and we got our food quickly. Has a clean bathroom as well.

Definitely not my cup of tea. We bowed up in 8 got a table and had to decide what to get as you have to order at the cash register and take a number. They have a selection noddle bowls and soups and fried rice and other Chinese fare. The food came out fairly fast. I would say the vegetable dishes were the best. The chicken in the dishes have the skin on which might be tradistiinal but not to my tasting. Fairly busy in a Sunday night but again not my cup of tea and likely next time will go to eureka next door. $65 for 4.

Good food and large portion sizes! Came here with friends and was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the food here. The orange chicken was fried perfectly and so juicy. The spicy beef pot was good but I wish it were a bit saltier. I really enjoyed the green beans. They were savory, garlicky, and tender. I wish they gave rice with some of the entrees (they only gave one bowl of rice for the spicy pot). The rice was good but a bit hard.

It is as my first time eating here. Loved the service and the ambience. I got the Tomato Beef Noodles and Thai Tea. Noodles was a little underwhelming but quite filling. I probably wouldn’t get it again. Loved the Thai Tea. I would definitely go back and try some other dishes and the Tea!

Quiet place in a corner of the University Center, conveniently located near the parking. We tried a few dishes and there is more to be explored. So far a good experience if you are looking for a quick bite or need a decent place for a get together.

I normally order this place on Doordash so I wanted to try the in person experience. It was great! You order at the counter then sit to get your hot food. It’s a few notches better than ordering online. The food is sooo good and beers are cheap. The staff at the counter was really appreciative for their tip. I would eat in person again for sure
