Customer Reviews
First time trying this restaurant. Very clean. People nice. We were a little disappointed going off the description on google about the restaurant that they served poke bowls. We didn't see many of the items that were pictured. However , the japanese inspired teriyaki meal was flavorful. We did not care much for the cheese wontons , lacking something. My husband had the Chinese Kung pao, chicken and which he was disappointed.The meal was small and lacked any kind of vegetables. Items are a little pricey but reasonable. If we were local , we may consider this place every now again , but wouldn't be our first choice. It was a very busy place with a lot of take out and pick up orders. Japanese inspired meals are cooked fresh , whereas the chinese meals were off a buffet bar.
Best tasting Chinese Food in a very long time. It was not greasy or salty. Good food portions. Pleasant service. Nice and clean atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Hardly no waiting. We will definitely visit again.
Food was good- my favorite lo mein I’ve had in Lynchburg. Maybe a little plain- but the most flavorful i’ve had in this area. The portions were also big. The only reason we gave 4 stars is the boba. The tapioca pearls were too hard and added a cinnamon-y/floral flavor to the tea that I did not like.
This place is hands down the best local Chinese restaurant I’ve been to. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and made just right. I had the Orange Chicken and it was crispy, tasty, and not too sweet—perfect. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the portions are generous. Whether you’re eating there or taking it home, it always hits the spot. Highly recommend if you’re craving good Chinese food!
Rude customer service. Food in buffet looked dried out, overheated and old. Edit: It's interesting to me that you knew exactly which customer wrote this review with so few remarks made. That tells a lot. Since you decided to speak on the experience from your end I'll go ahead and speak from mine. Insinuating that my review isn't honest by putting the word in quotes is passive aggressive and unnecessary. Take responsibility and ownership of this bad interaction. Let me start by saying I am not a regular customer. I don't live in Lynchburg. I was visiting and this was my first interaction with your business. This wasn't my first time ordering Chinese food. I have never had an issue ordering extra brown sauce on the side from any other Chinese restaurant. When I asked if I could order extra
