NEVER AGAIN! Fried calamari was burnt and old and what type of calamari was this... before the food was great and fresh, now it's terrible. This was my favorite restaurant to come and eat and would come every other weekend, it felt like I ordered from KFC even the box has fast food presentation
This is Christmas Eve night 2025. If you are reading this, they are FULL. They are not accepting reservations, the wait for takeout orders (even with a pickup time) is over 1+ hours AFTER you arrive. There are people waiting in line 30+ mins to sit down only to be told it’d be another 1-2 hours or that they aren’t accepting anyone now. There are several tables of 10+ people. At one point I counted 25 people standing in the entry for anyone at all to come by and give any information. 5 stars for amazing food and service during normal hours but TONIGHT IS NOT IT.
We went to dinner last night. 2-1-26 The service was the best thing I can speak of. I gave it two stars. That should tell you about the rest of this place. We waited 10 minutes to be seated, only two tables had customers. When I sat down, my arms stuck to the table. You could write your name in the filth. We should have just left at that point. Unfortunately, I was on a phone call and my wife had went ahead and ordered for both of us. We decided to stay. The water cups were oily. The tea container looked as if it had been on the last table served and just dropped off on ours and charged again. The food… horrible. I honestly believe I was served rice made last week in a big pot and reheated daily. The sweet and sour pork… had a taste I can’t put my finger on. We were served on the $0.99 cen
Came across this place quite by accident while on holidays. The staff were friendly, prices were reasonable, the place was clean and the food absolutely delicious!! There were clearly a lot of regulars and the owner seemed to know them all and greeted them. Take out orders were also busy. I loved the sesame chicken and the dumplings.
We went to celebrate my Husbans birthday on 8/20/25. The food was really good! We ordered Family Dinner "A" and Mongolian Beef. The Hot Sour soup, yummm! Almond Chicken was crispy so was the Sweet and Sour Chicken. Chow Mein, Fried Rice and Mongolian Beef were also really good! ❤️
