★★★★★ 5.0 Wilson Wang · Jan 2026

My whole family has been eating and ordering from here since I was young, and it has never disappointed us. The food quality have always been consistent and excellent, so we will definitely keep ordering from here. We ordered from their catering menu for a family party (about 100 people) last month ,and everything was amazing. All of our relatives and friends couldn’t stop praising the food. On top of that, they were kind enough to give us a few new dishes to try, which turned out to be very good as well. The salt and pepper chicken was especially outstanding — our kids absolutely loved it. Thank you again for the great food and wonderful service. Highly recommended!

Like many others we have been ordering here for many years. It is our New Year’s Eve tradition. But just lately we feel like the food has changed. The pork fried rice is lately very pale and not the usual rich brown color. Tastes bland. Also some of the appetizers are coming out overcooked.Just before Christmas We had gen Tso’s chicken that you could not pierce with a fork …and chicken fingers with coating that shattered and fell off. That is way overcooked. Also the rice was was cold… and we were not late picking it up. we have loved the food here for years but we’re about to start looking elsewhere for our Chinese takeout. I would have rather done this in an e-mail but this is all you have for contact.I will say Service is always perfect. We like this place.

I ordered lunch today from here through doordash. I’ve gotten food from here before and it’s always been good. However, today I found a screw at the bottom of my meal. I was shocked and disgusted, since I practically ate the whole thing. If I hadn’t noticed, I could have broken a tooth or worse. I can’t even imagine if my children ate this. I understand mistakes happen, but this could have hurt someone. I hope from now on staff will triple check containers before sending them out for delivery!

The pork fried rice is good, but not good enough to make it the highest portion of the whole meal. Only pork fried rice I’ve ordered that has no veggies in it. The boneless ribs portion is pathetic. Rip off

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joe Healy · Apr 2024

Small takeout Chinese restaurant with a window to see the kitchen. This has been a go to for takeout when I'm in the area for many years. I grabbed a few items the other night. Egg Rolls, Beef Teriyaki and Chicken Wings. Their Chicken Wings use to be a favorite of mine. They were good but I feel as though the depth of the flavor is slipping a little. The Egg Rolls were very solid. They weren't celery base, but still had a nice flavor. Here is the killer part. The Beef Teriyaki was gray with a mushy coating that just tasted like vinegar. I actually didn't eat them which is very rare for me. I hate wasting money..
