★★★★★ 5.0 Kelly Hernandez · Oct 2025

Nice spot for really good chinese food and yummy wings. We decided ro get a 2 entree 1 side meal and salt and pepper wings. So glad we did. The orange chicken and the teriyaki chicken were amazing. The noodles and rice were amazing. The spice on the salt and pepper chicken was spot on with a little kick. We definitely recommend you checking this spot out.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially with its nearly perfect rating. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. The cashier got our order wrong and, rather than correcting it, tried to charge us extra to fix the mistake. It was clear she was distracted while taking the order, which likely contributed to the mix-up. In hindsight, I should have double-checked the receipt—but with the high ratings, I didn’t expect there to be an issue in the first place. Hopefully, this was just a one-off, but it did leave a disappointing first impression. Their fried rice was salty, too much soy sauce. The salt & pepper wings were good. I also got their sweet and sour chicken, looked nothing like the pictures I saw at the restaurant and tasted much like the store

Ordered fried rice and teriyaki chicken. Both were really bad, couldn't even eat it. Rice was hard and had a strange taste, chicken was so dry and hard... to hard to be over cooked ..more like over cooked set out, then over cooked again and they thought soaking it in sauce will make it better. Honestly you're better off going to panda express.

Really wanted to like this place. Wife and I shared a two entree plate with steamed rice: she got sweet&sour and I got orange chicken. As others have said, chicken is high quality and well fried and portion sizes are good. I’m dinging for: 1. Sauce had too much ketchup in it 2. Too much styrofoam, plastic cutlery, bad for the environment

I came here on black Friday last week surprised they were open actually. Just one man in the whole establishment cooking everything, taking orders and preparing the food by himself. He didn't seem to speak very much english yey still gave me recommendations and it seemed to be really slow as I was the only one there. I ordered their Mongolian beef with side of noodles and ate there by myself. Very great customer service, very friendly and the food was great everything about the place was very nice. Thank you
