“ Very Delicious food, good variety of food. One of my faves is #104 salt and pepper spareribs, they are very good! Their ginger beef is descent too, comparable to the Ginger beef restaurant. I ordered to go as the service was very poor and the lady was grumpy if we asked about the many. That’s the only downside. ”
“ This place is woefully underrated, no way it should be under 4.5*. I just ordered a bunch of food tonight and it was all fantastic. Both the ginger beef and sweet and sour pork with pineapples were swimming in sauce! The mixed vegetables in black bean sauce and black pepper chicken fried noodles were great too. There are some great Chinese food places in the South but this one is my favourite. ”
“ First, and will NOT be the last!!! Myself and my husband couldn't decide between here or the Vietnamese place, decided to try here. 100% recommend!!! We decided on the dinner for two, which was fried rice, wonton soup, , spring rolls (2), veggies, and we chose ginger beef, (and I love ginger, my husband hates it) turns out he even loved it because it was not overpowered by the ginger. Everything was so delicious, we had to save some for lunch tomorrow!! really great price also 45 (ish...cant remember yhe price), and it felt like we ordered the dinner for three! Highly recommend it those who love chinease food. As mentioned will 100% be back, next time with friends, and probably try the buffet menu . ”
“ The duck skin was very crispy, the spice was sweet, the soup was delicious, the fried rice and the noodles were delicious. But the duck in takeout wasn’t as good. I also got extra fortune cookies and the atmosphere was pretty nice, just the bathroom looked old and the sink looked rusty ”
“ genuinely the best Chinese food ive ever had in my life!! the ginger beef is too die for i love this place! and they don’t skimp on the veggies which is really rare, tons of veg in each dish which is great ”
“ The food is great. This is a family business that is open 7 days a week, and never disapoints.. ”
“ My go-to takeout spot but decided to come in for a sit down dinner and had a wonderful meal! Loved the atmosphere and the lovely details such as flowers adorning the space. The food itself is always delicious and perfectly seasoned. Definitely satisfies my craving for Chinese food. Will definitely come back! ”
“ I loved the round table with a lazy Susan. It was perfect for our group of 8 ladies, better for chatting than a rectangular table. ”
