★★★★★ 5.0 Brandon D · Dec 2024

I’m from out of town and got a hotel in the area to spend a day. I was craving Asian food and this looked the best. The Vietnamese lady helping me was great and generous. She was kind and helped with my questions. She gives a very fair serving of food. I was very satisfied with the serving they gave. I got the combo three and the box was packed! They let my try one of their dishes for free! And their dishes are delish. The orange chicken is as good as you can expect, better even. Jalapeño chicken, if you can handle it, has the perfect kick of spice. And their vegetable dish was good also. Some bites were a bit salty, although not many. Other than that, everything tasted fresh and was cooked nicely. Overall: 10/10

This place is great although I wished they could stay open instead of closing around 2:30 the food is exactly what I needed for $10 for an entire dish that's heavy it's nice, the plates aka the foam plates unfortunately melt if I specially order unfortunately so I need to use two foam trays that would be nice if they could upgrade or make them durable

It is the worst food I ever had in my life.My daughter and I ate there.We had a couple of bites , we spit it out in our napkin , and we threw the rest out in the trash

★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Smith · Jun 2025

This used to be our go to always but the last couple years it seems the workers do not care at all. You say "Hello!" and get a blank stare from a face behind a mask. Portions have gotten smaller and smaller. Open hours are constantly changing. Ever since 2020 this place constantly gets stranger and stranger. Food is hit or miss sometimes, but usually it's good. Orange chicken is usually the best. The Crab Rangoon is the best in the world.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Belinda Olive · May 2019

Great food, bad attitude owners. The wife acts like it's an inconvenience to serve you. The only reason i still go there is because the food is pretty good and it's quick. If you can ignore the huffs, sighs, and scowls then you will be fine.
