Tangy Lemon Chicken
Destiney S.

Had lunch with some coworkers (about 7 of us) and we all had a lunch special. I chose the tangy chicken again (sauce on the side) it was soo good! Service was prompt and friendly. Love getting lunch here!! I hope to visit more often this year cause it never disappoints

beef egg foo young
Bri D.

i haven't eaten from here in about two years, which makes me feel like somewhat of a cheater. however, the food still tasted as great as it did the first time! this go-around, i ordered beef egg foo young (been craving the dish for a WHILE, and was satisfied to have my wish fulfilled) with jasmine rice. i was pleasantly surprised to see that my order was followed exactly to the letter, and there were no mistakes or missing items. my only itch was that it was a tad greasy, but obviously no one's eating here for the health benefits. i'm proud to say that i ate my plate clean last friday. :)

What a freaking gem. Came here for the first time and can genuinely say this is the best Chinese food spot in Phoenix, probably Arizona. Walked in and was immediately transferred back to the old school Chinese restaurants back east. We did the Phoenix dinner for 2 and substituted the pork for orange chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious. First came out the salad which was super flavorful and fresh. Fresh lettuce, noodles, amazing dressing and super tender chicken slices. It came with two wontons which were also soo good. Perfectly crisp and filled with a cream cheese stuffing that complimented the salad perfectly. Hot and sour soup was next and while that's not usually my favorite soup, it was great and had depth in the flavor. Then came our entrees, huge in size and definitely worth the price. The kung pao chicken had delicious flavor and veggies were perfectly cooked. The fried rice was not your average, it had chicken, shrimp and the most tender beef. The orange chicken was definitely my favorite. You can tell they use breast and the crisp on the outside was so perfect, sauce was sweet with a little kick, just perfect. Service was insightful, quick and friendly. I think my bf had his sprite filled at least 3 times and I was asked if I wanted another coke at least 5 The ambiance is authentic yet casual with Chinese art and tapestry on the walls, fish tank, etc. We will definitely be back.

Bar BBQ Pork Slices
Bill W.

The food has always been very good every time we visit. Which sadly isn't that often because it's a drive to get there. If I lived closer I'd eat there at least twice a week. The service is efficient because everyone shares the load. You don't just have one server. The ambiance is your typical large dining hall Chinese restaurant. A large open room with various sized tables with the typical paper table covers and zodiac paper place mats. If you don't know the vibe you don't get out for Chinese much. On to the food. For appetizers we got the BBQ pork slices. Very good but not anything great or special. I'd stick with the pot stickers for my appetizer of choice. Get the pork in an entree or the fried rice. For our soup choice we went with the sizzling rice soup. Very good with sliced chicken breast and veggies. And the rice actually sizzles. Since unlike some other restaurants it doesn't have shrimp or pork I might choose something else next time. Entrees. The star of the show in my opinion and others is the orange chicken. Not your standard chunks breaded and fried soaked in a sweet sugar syrup but a full chucked breast breaded and fried to a perfect crisp then sliced like a katsu and covered in a slightly sweet and slightly spicy sauce with hint of orange. I could eat this all by myself and be happy. Next we got the Mongolian Beef. Average. Not great, not bad, just average. Too saucy with too many onions. Nothing compares to China Chef in Morton Grove, IL. The pork fried rice. Pretty good with lots of bbq pork. Way more than you get in the slices. My only gripe with most places is there's no place for carrots and peas in fried rice. Bean sprouts and scallions is the way to go. But here it's the frozen veg carrots and peas combo. Oh well. Next time I think it will be mu shu pork instead of Mongolian and hot and sour instead of sizzling rice soup. One other comment. Like most restaurants in AZ. The egg rolls are really spring rolls. Hard pass as real egg rolls have won ton wrapper skins, shrimp and bbq pork with a hint of peanut butter in them. Outside of NY or Chicago I've never found the real deal.

The portions here are so big, we got a two person combo and had leftovers for two people. My favorite was the Honey Walnut Shrimp, wish it was crispier though. The workers are super attentive and nice. The restaurant is big with lots of seating and was busy when we came for a weekday dinner! ig: @cravingswithcat

House Special Chicken
Dawn M.

Probably the best fried rice I've had in awhile! Picked up some food to bring to the hospital. I ordered over the phone amd was ready by the time I got there. I ordered the shrimp lo mein. The dish was flavorful, the noodles were perfect, and came with a great amount of shrimp. The vegetable fried rice was also a great balance. Not too greasy. Light and tasty. Lastly, the house special chicken was very filling. The chicken chunks alone were huge. It actually tasted like real chicken too. The sauce was light and probably could've used more sweet chili flavors. Over all it was great experience. I'd bring my husband back to try more items!

Janet L.

The location, service, and ambiance - absolutely 5 stars! However, the food is a bit ok the salty side for me, hence the 4-star rating. As the photo shows, we ordered some meat dishes and some veggie dishes. The eggplant with chicken was my favorite. The pan fried noodles' dish is crispy and flavorful. We ordered a couple vegetarian dishes for a friend who is vegan and she felt accommodated with the Kai Lan and mixed vegetables that were picked out for her. I'll probably go back only if a meeting or a banquet is being hosted there. Side note: Parking could be a bit tricky for large banquets.

Mongolian Beef w/fried rice and egg roll
Carolina V.

Eh it's ok. The food was not terrible; it was mediocre at best. I felt like there was no real flavor it just tasted greasy. The food came out in like 3mins which was quite fast!! The service was fine. It took a bit for my friend and I to pay. Other than that, it isn't awful but I wouldn't choose to go here again. My friend didn't really like her food either.

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing.

To be clear, I am a New Yorker and know good fast Chinese food. The ambiance was promising. It looked like I was finally going to find what I've been looking for in Phoenix for years. For whatever reason, Chinese restaurants in Arizona serve egg hockey pucks and cover it with various items and call it egg foo young. I even asked about it before I ordered it. Alas when I got home and saw what I had, I was disappointed. It's faster to make it this way but the egg hockey puck had no taste - zero. They could have at least added oyster sauce, a little soy sauce, maybe nam plah, and perhaps sesame oil. It was tasteless. A complete miss. I also ordered something simple, shrimp spring rolls. They were delicious! I inhaled them and will order them again. I'd go again just for the spring rolls. Maybe they have other dishes that are good and I may not entirely give up but the egg foo young is a no go.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

It's a small plate type of restaurant and we tried 5 different ones: 1-egg noodles with pork belly...delicious!!! The pork belly pieces were so tender and the noodles were perfect. 2-fried bamboo with sweet chili sauce...amazing! I would love to have a bag of these and just eat them like chips while watching TV...LOL! 3-stir-fry bok choy with tofu in a garlicky sauce...one of our biggest surprises of the evening! What a wonderful way to eat your greens, along with the most flavorful tofu I've ever had. (We actually ordered it twice.) 4-scallop crudo with garlic and lemon sauce...refreshing! I'm not a big scallop person, but these were so fresh and so good! 5-fried chicken with a sweet/savory dipping sauce...very good! The chicken came like wings, very crispy and juicy. Everything we had was incredible! Unfortunately, I'm allergic to curry and mango, so our choices were somewhat limited. I'm just glad we were able to find these dishes that were so awesome. The only downside is the parking. It's street parking, but there are a bunch of apartments all around, so the spots were very limited. There are some pay parking lots, but they're pretty far from the restaurant. Hubby drove around and did find a spot about a block and a half down a side street. But, to be honest, it was a nice little walk back to the car after eating. What a fun time and a delectable experience!!

The best thing we had. Really good flavors. Again a bit much for 2 people so we took it home and had some the next day. Also held up well. It's definitely worth checking out but make sure you make reservations. It's small and popular!
