★★★★★ 5.0 Jea Kim · Dec 2025

Really solid option for a late-night Chinese meal. A friend from Brown told me this used to be his go-to midnight spot, so I swung by to grab some rice plates. I came a little past midnight and half expected everything to taste like it had been sitting out for hours. But most of the proteins on display actually looked fresh. Until now, every late-night “Panda Express–style” rice plate place I’ve tried in the U.S. has been either unappetizing or straight-up nasty. This one was different. They apparently get constant foot traffic even after midnight, and the quick turnover seemed to help. They also pile on an absurd amount of protein, loaded to the point where the Styrofoam plate feels like it might snap in half. (granted, a two-protein plate was almost $20.) My favorites were all the fri

This place is AMAZING! Ray and his crew are phenomenal! You can tell they really care about their customers and the quality of food. When we arrived there was a line out the door and once we were in and sat down with our food we could see why. They have the best boneless spare ribs I've ever eaten anywhere. Don't forget to dip it in their delicious, homemade duck sauce! My wife got the calamari, which was cooked to perfection. The crab rangoon was delicious, too.

We also tried the green beans, Teriyaki chicken, steak and potatoes, which were all awesome! Also, the fried rice is loaded and they give you heaping piles! We'll be eating leftovers for another day or two, as their po

Ordered delivery for dinner one night, and when I started eating I found a worm in my food. This was absolutely disgusting, and I dont even want to think about how they handle their food and ingredients in order for this to happen. I have eaten here many times before, but have sworn off the restaurant after finding this WHOLE worm in my orange chicken.

All the Thai restaurants are Laotian or Chinese and all the Japanese restaurants are Chinese. Continuing the funny business is Chinatown on Thayer which has no Chinese people working on it. Lots of customers but service is slow. I came in 10 minutes prior to another customer. The other customer got his dish first before they did mine. You're done. 1 star.

Me and friends come here often for dinner when we get tired of dining hall food, and could you not the food each time has been delicious. The portions are more than generous, and the pricing is spot on. The staff are great to, if you become a regular they will notice:)
