We had the chow mein with bbq pork. It wasn’t too impressive and the pork wasn’t really “bbq” style. Now the orange chicken and Beijing beef was great, one of the better orange chicken I’ve had. The service is really great. Friendly staff and very nice, offers sauces for the table. Service was definitely above and beyond. Will be back!

Beef Chow Fun was all noodles. Ordered to go so I was SOL. I know they have other dishes that are good. Came here looking for quality versus the panda express across the way but ended up spending 20+bucks and got skimped on the protein. Go to Panda unless your looking for ambiance

The food was practically an edible and it tasted terrible the soup tastes like there was water and the meat was grizzly the fried shrimp was oily. I would never go to this restaurant again in fact we left and went to get some ice cream just to get the flavor out of our mouth. On top of everything it is very expensive.

We had went to one of my sisters favorite places to eat for her anniversary we have been coming for the last past couple of years, the food was just okay, and the waitress waste water all over my iPhone, needless to say it started having problems. No one apologized, nor did anybody tell me how I could get this situation fixed it’s really too bad for the establishment this big to act this way even after I talk to the manager.

Let me start by putting it out there that I’m part Chinese. That being said, I believe that my standards for Chinese cuisine are pretty high. The service is wonderful and everyone is friendly. Not your typical mom & pop shop w/o the customer experience type of training. Everyone who works here speaks English. Most of them are bilingual. I know this because I spoke to several of them in Cantonese as well as English. Now to the menu. Hands down my favorite is the smoked sea bass paired with the honey mayo & ginger. Moist, flaky, fatty & cooked to perfection. The bok choy and yao choy is good too. The noodle soups are filling on their own as a meal. The crab & fish maw soup reminds me of home cooked dinners at my parents. Yes, the sweet and sour chicken is tasty. Though not authentic but still good & includes fresh pineapple. Not that canned stuff. It makes a huge difference. My kids liked the BBQ pork fried rice. The fried fish w/sweet soy sauce is great. Especially with steamed rice & greens. Don’t get me started on the roast duck & bao buns with hoisin sauce & scallions because that is my 5-yr old’s new favorite. The flavor & crispy skin of the duck just makes you savor each bite. I can’t wait to dine there again and try more dishes.

Group of 10 came to have a nice meal. We ordered the dried fish fried rice, Hong Kong pan fried noodles and 5 entree dishes. It was nice enough to try different dishes. The serving was a bit small for our group size and have some individuals with bigger appetites maybe having an extra order of rice and entree would helped. Their portions are small but the food taste great and it is more on a higher end.

The place is a gem. I ordered the dinner special twice and it’s some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. The bartender David is simply incredible. He made some awesome drinks and was extremely nice, efficient and an awesome conversationalist.

This place tends to be pretty busy so be sure during busy times such as the weekend or nights so make sure you go online and reserve your table. If you’re going on a weekend you may want to book your table as early as possible during the day. Sometimes tables aren’t available for hours. The food here is great. I some of my favorites are the crispy trio appetizer, chicken pan fried noodles, both the hot and sour or war wonton soup, calamari, chicken wings, and sticky fried rice. I am a kind of order everything and share kind of girl so that’s why most of the items I listed are more along the lines of appetizers. The shrimp is to die for. It’s light and crispy and fresh. Plus they have the best drinks on the menu and they don’t skimp on the liquor.

The Best General Chicken! Spicy, sweet, tender, cooked to perfection. Large servings, my wife and I ordered 4 dishes for $80, it could easily feed 4. Make reservations on the Open Table app, or you may be waiting for a while… but worth the wait.
