★★★★★ 5.0 Krystle Helton · Jan 2026

I cannot say enough positive about this place - This is a completely unsolicited, unpaid review, I never had their food or any interactions with them previous to today. I ordered online - 1 order of steamed dumplings, 1 large egg drop soup, and 1 large hot n sour soup. Said it would be ready by 1130AM, since they don't open 'til 11AM. I got there at 11AM, early, and called. Let them know what car I was in, and that I was early. They had my food out in 15-20 minutes, brought it to my car across the street, and I got the most incredibly delicious food I have tasted in this area for Chinese food, PERIOD, hands down... Plus, tons of sauces, a fork/spoon/napkin combo wrapped in the little plastic... The steamed dumplings were to DIE FOR - OMG. The soups... Just as amazing. I am so impressed.

Atmosphere great, service excellent, food phenomenal. This place never disappoints and has to be my favorite Chinese place in the Tri-cities. It’s also the only authentic Chinese restaurant in the area and the owners are so nice. Highly recommend the General Tso’s chicken and the Crab Rangoon’s.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Cherie Broadwater · Mar 2026

This was the worst Chinese I have ever tasted. Food was bland. Ordered chicken and broccoli and asked for my broccoli to be cooked tender and it was hard. Spring rolls looked like they had pork in them. I will not be going back yo this restaurant.

Seriously some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in East Tennessee. Delicious! The owners are delightful and so kind. We will return!

This is an amazing family-owned gem in Bristol's historic downtown area. We dined outdoors on the covered patio, right along State St. Some highlights of our meal include: the best hot and sour soup I have had anywhere; shatteringly crisp *homemade* spring rolls (the peppery beef one is especially delicious); locally sourced roast duck; pan-fried shrimp and water chestnuts; and a chow mei fun strewn with fluffy egg and vegetables. Everything was delicious, and we can't wait to return!
