    Welcome.
    Laura C.

    We walked in on Sunday evening a little after 7pm for dinner. Someone was cleaning the floors. A strong smell of pine sol. This is the first time we were seated and then asked TO LEAVE. The owner came over and said something to the effect that the area was being cleaned and would the smell bother us. We had actually ordered hot tea to drink. I drove 25mins to give Chen's a try. A huge NOPE for me

    Freezer burned - old miserable - garbage!

    WOW WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!! Really disappointed at this experience. Tried to order from here since we get Chinese at least twice a week - so we wanted this place would be a a good neighborhood gem. The food was so bad - I almost don't know where to begin, other than I wish we had not deviated from our regular place in Duluth called a Taste of China. We didn't want to drive down there, as we had a long day driving and thought why not give it a try? So this 1st order was certainly our last - aside the rice after being on the phone for like nearly 15 minutes, which was nice of the young girl - to make sure it was being prepared right. Outside of that - the food was wrong! The rest of the order was just miserable, from the ribs being old and near petrified (I ordered well done to make sure they would be fresh and they were certainly NOT! - They were so inedible - I didn't even give the meat which was so dry - like they were freeze dried - to the dogs! We had honey chicken - and to be fair they made it off the menu - but it was disgusting. We ordered fried rice with egg and white onion - why he was the subject of much of the discussion - as we said no scallions! So wouldn't you know it? Loaded with them - which we had called about and they offered to bring it over my house - just leave the wrong rice at the door and they would have left the replacement rice at the door - wifey was so upset about the rice and egg roll which was like a soggy sponge - we cancelled it. They gave us $7.90 back on the card - which the rest of the almost $60 - Belch! Soups tasted like chlorine water and wontons were like play dough. Noodle bags were really oily and I am happy we bought 4 extra bags. Everything was miserable down to the MIS-fortune cookies, which were STALE! Damn EPIC FAIL!

    I'm new here at this neighborhood so I would like to try all options and for sure this is a place that we will have a lot of meals! First we tried the shrimp fried rice and I loved! The portion size is really good and fair price!!!! Shrimps are in a good size too!!! Today I tried delivery at lunch time, we ordered chicken orange, chicken curry and dumplings pork OMG amazing!!!!! So fresh and taste really good!!!!! The size is really good we could have lunch and dinner!

The door was unlocked, so we walked in. A staff member told us they didn't open until 11:00 and asked us to wait outside. He also told us that we should only come in when the sign outside was lit. I completely understand that the restaurant has business hours, but it was only three minutes before opening. Also, it's summer and the sunlight is very bright, making it extremely difficult to tell whether the sign is lit or not. The three-minute wait wasn't the issue. What bothered me was the way the staff member spoke to us. It felt more like he was lecturing us than politely communicating with customers. Unfortunately, this experience was enough for us not to come back, and I would not recommend this restaurant to my friends.

    My partner and I decided to try Tani Thai 02.20.2026 and stopped by around 6:30PM for dinner…read more First off, the interior seemed clean and well-kept. The ambiance was dark and intimate, which I appreciated -- it gave the space a cozy, relaxed vibe that felt nice for a dinner date. The music was low and soft, which worked well since most of the tables were talking pretty loudly. It didn't feel chaotic or overstimulating, and we were still able to have a comfortable conversation. Service was decent -- we were seated quickly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Here's what we ordered: Tiger's Tears ($15) - 3/5 This was the dish I was most excited about. It's described as grilled beef with chili-lime seasoning, onions, scallions, and sweet peppers. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The beef was noticeably tough, chewy, and a bit sinewy rather than tender and juicy. The chili-lime sauce was very sharp and aggressively acidic -- overwhelmingly sour to the point where it masked the savory, char-grilled flavor of the meat. It was supposed to be spicy, but as an Asian who regularly eats and enjoys spicy food, there was barely any heat at all. The dish looked vibrant and colorful, but flavor-wise it felt unbalanced and slightly one-dimensional. Basil Fried Rice with Chicken ($18) - 2.5/5 The menu labeled this as spicy as well, but again, there was zero kick. Not even a subtle warmth. It tasted like very standard, plain fried rice -- mildly seasoned, slightly oily, and lacking depth. The fresh Thai basil aroma wasn't very pronounced, and the overall flavor felt muted and underwhelming. The chicken was okay texture-wise, but the dish as a whole didn't stand out or justify the price point. It needed more heat, more fragrance, and more boldness to feel like true Thai basil fried rice. Coconut Mushroom Soup with Chicken ($5.50) - 2/5 This one was disappointing. When it first arrived, it was comforting and creamy with a light coconut aroma. Initially, it tasted balanced and mildly savory. However, as it sat and I alternated between dishes, the flavor became increasingly sour and slightly off-putting. The chicken was extremely dry, stringy, and overcooked, which made it difficult to enjoy. The broth lacked the rich, silky depth I was hoping for and ended up tasting thin, overly acidic, and somewhat flat. Thai Teas ($5.50 each) - 3.5/5 Honestly, these saved the night. Sweet, creamy, and refreshing -- exactly what you expect from a good Thai tea. Smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful. Water - 0/5 I took one sip and didn't touch it again. It tasted like straight tap water with a faint cleaning solution scent. Thankfully, we had the Thai Teas to rely on. Overall, the experience was okay but not memorable. The atmosphere and ambiance were pleasant, but the food didn't quite deliver -- especially considering how Thai cuisine is typically bold, aromatic, spicy, and layered. For us, the dishes leaned either too sour or too bland, without much balance in between. Given the prices, we were expecting more depth and stronger flavors. Not a terrible experience, but not one we'd rush back for either.

    My friend and I decided to find a place to eat in downtown Buford last night. She said let's walk…read moreup and down and find a restaurant. So I randomly chose Tani Thai. I asked first if they cooked in peanut oil since I'm allergic to peanuts. The hostess told me she would check and came back and told me they cooked in vegetable oil... so we got seated pretty quickly. The service was pretty good. We ordered our food which took some time but the wait wasn't too bad. We ordered the fresh basil rolls as an appetizer, I ordered the shrimp & garlic wine and my friend ordered the tiger tears salad. We also ordered 2 cocktails a old fashioned and a lychee martini. As well as the mango with sticky rice for dessert. Let me tell you all the food was tasty and excellent. The ambiance was very cool. Definitely a cool place for a date night. I can say I will definitely be back again.

(RIP, first impression.) So this round was my redemption meal. Everything was packed with care and precision, like a tiny takeout Tetris master handled it. Utensils, sauces, lime--all included. Not a single thing forgotten. A+ for organization. Chicken Pho: Loaded with tender chicken, flavorful broth, and enough liquid gold left over to sip the next day like a cozy little leftover gift. My 1-year-old shared it with me (tiny foodie in the making). I tossed in the hoisin, sriracha, fish sauce, and lime they provided, and boom: flavor bomb. Beef Drunken Noodles (Medium Heat): I ordered "medium" and they actually gave me medium--not "let us burn TF out of your mouth". Perfect balance. Again, the tiny foodie gave it 2 thumbs up!

Delivery was timely, the driver tonight left the food on the doorstep even though I asked to have it handed to me. (Not the restaurant's fault) I was even masked for the handoff as per DD protocol also! When I opened the bag, a couple things were immediately noticeable. The bag had sauce dropped on it, which told me that it was either tilted en route or when initially packed. Next I saw there was one lonely packet of soy sauce for two entrees but two packs of duck sauce (I don't know who wants this sauce it's just sugar and starch). Looking through the packaging, definite order issues! I asked for an order of the Crab Rangoons (6) and opened the container and saw 4. Boooooo. Then I noticed I was missing one egg roll; and one cheesesteak roll. Disappointing, as people didn't get what they wanted. I dug in, I was hungry. It's 30 minutes later and my stomach has been turning circles and cramping. Not very excited for what I imagine will be a rough night. I very rarely write super negative reviews, and usually when I do it's because I feel something is egregiously wrong. The portions look decent, and maybe it's an off day for the person checking orders- but I haven't eaten since 2 (7 hours ago) so there was nothing else that could be the offender of my stomach.
