It is absolutely sickening how expensive this place is this is what they consider a large rice and then when I called and asked them how this is considered a large rice. They proceeded to tell me that it’s supposed to only feed one person. I asked them. what a small rice looked like and they said half of that container. What the heck do they think that I would be ordering a large race to feed one person I will never ever in my life give these people my money again, not for nothing, but the food was terrible. The rice was clumpy the beef and broccoli. The vegetables were hot as rocks, the carrots, hard as rocks, the broccoli, hard as Rocks very disappointed in this place in mind you they charge me $70. For three sushi rolls, a large rice that looked like it could feed one person and a beef

I eaten at this restaurant few times and had takeout but that was few years ago, it was very good for the most part. Yesterday.y family decided we get takeout from their, what a mistake it was you should change your name to Gourmet Garbage, how dare you serve such sloppy disgusting food I know of fast Asian food restaurants that makes better tasting food. Youe noodles were unbeatable over cooked, rice and all other dishes we got it really made me angry. It's obvious your kitchen crew has no skills whatsoever. Thai Cafe in lynn is ten times better. Or maybe you should order the food from Mei Lee in Salem on canal st or KiKi's on Boston Street have your chefs try and try to cook something like it. Or maybe consider to bring in a Brazilian crew to teach your Chinese crew how to cook or bette

Wow 😀. I am genuinely astonished at how every item in my order managed to taste so unappealing. It's difficult to convey just how disappointing the flavors were. I ordered white rice, shrimp egg foo young, pepper-fried shrimp, and what can only be described as very artificial-tasting and looking chicken. I had high hopes for this meal, especially since it was quite an expensive order, and I intended to enjoy it for lunch. Unfortunately, the experience was so unpleasant that I simply couldn't bring myself to eat any of it. It felt like a form of culinary torture. I strongly advise against trying this place; it was truly a dreadful experience. 0/10

Waiter was taking so long to take our orders. Waiter bring pu pu platter without rice. We waited for rice in 10 mins while pu pu platter get cold! First time and last time to come in this place.

We used to love this place but since the new owners took over the food quality has continually gone downhill. The service is always good but all of the food has no taste. The hot and sour soup was one of the best but now lost flavor and sometimes comes cold. The beef was always so tender but now grizzly and poor gravy. We are through with this place.
