    The whole place is going under construction which could be good but your have to navigate the steel structures. You can't walk on the sidewalk. Today we did what most Asians do on Christmas and are at a Chinese Restaurant. They were busy around noon. The place is pretty small for a big group. We had a party of 15. They had 2 large round tables. I asked for the tables to be pushed together. She accomodated which was so nice of her. It was still very tight to maneuver around. Good was much better as well as service today. Poor lady had to wait on the entire restaurant but she did well. My favorites were the fish fillet, beef roll 10/10, green beans, spicy beef in a large bowl. I'm just thankful they were open on Christmas Day!

    The food was hot and fresh. I asked for low salt in the eggplant but I should've asked for low salt on everything. The chow mien and the pineapple rice was too salty for me. I was really disappointed as I was hoping to eat the chow mien and rice the next couple of days. My wife enjoyed the eggplant and the vegetables. She said the eggplant was delicious.

    8/22/25 Cozy little Chinese food restaurant in the plaza where 99 Ranch is located, quick, easy, friendly service, Ordered the shrimp pad see ewe, Mongolian beef & eggplant with chili garlic oil & it was ready in no time. When your total is $40 or more, you have the option for complimentary item, I opted for dessert-sesame balls. My eggplant & pad see ewe were pretty good, not better than most but still tasty. Hubby's Mongolian Beef, on the other hand, was not up to par. The beef was a bit tough to chew. Plus, the menu said it comes with vegetables and all there was-- lotsa onions (it should've just mentioned that, not "vegetables" as if there were 2-3 more kinds cooked with it). Portions were average for the price/value. Would we return? Perhaps, but not for the Mongolian beef.

    Came to check out this place after all the reviews but did not hit the spot. The dumplings were bland and lacked flavor even though they were juicy pork. The fried cheese wonton were delicious and cheesy. The beef in the stir fry was chewy and not cooked to perfection. Service was great but the place lacked in taste.

    Love this place! The dishes are great and prices are amazing for all the food you get. It's a small restaurant with a few tables for big parties. They are pretty quick with taking orders and bringing out the food so it's a good place to come with family and share the dishes. They also give you a free appetizer if you spend a certain amount so that's awesome for them for this! My favorite dish is the xiao long bao, and it's a must every time I go. I also love the cucumber salad and orange chicken.

    The Fried Cheese Wontons were so good i ate them very quickly, and the orange chicken serving was huge easily enough for 2 people. I will be coming back forsure!

    29. Beef Pan Fried Noodle Orange Peel Chicken

    The pan fried pho noodles with beef were very good! The orange chicken was also very good. The dumplings were good, could've been a little more soupy/ juicy. The waitress was super nice, she mentioned that if we bought a soda we would get a free appetizer of our choice :). Definitely worth a second time coming! I want to try more items on the menu.

Chicken dumplings had a good filling to wrapper ratio, but the filling needed way more seasoning. It just tasted like wet, mushy stuff inside, and drowning the dumpling in chili oil barely helped. And the two fried dishes weren't flavorful either--they weren't dredged very well, so they just tasted like oil. This was especially disappointing for the scallion pancake, since it looked nice...but didn't taste of scallions at all. Overall, really disappointing. I might give it a try at a different location if the opportunity comes up, but with the menu being rather small, I'm not even sure it'd be worth the time.

There's lots of traffic so be weary of the cars that pass by and when we went there were tons of people. We walked in and they took our name and phone number and about a 40 min wait. This place can probably fit 40 people, it's so small. We tried a few items such as their beef roll, wonton with chili sauce, their seven grams xlb, , fried mini buns, noodle with scallion oil sauce, and potato string shrimp. Their seven grams xlb was disappointing, the broth and meat inside didn't have any flavor to it IMO. The mini buns were sweet and heavy, and we split one and didn't touch the rest. The noodle with scallion sauce was just okay...again, not much flavor. I didn't like the potato shrimp at all, too doughy and hard. The beef rolls were just okay to me, again kinda bland without dumping it in shoyu and vinegar). The best dish was their spicy wontons. It had a nice kick to it and we saved the sauce to dump everything else we ate in it lol.

The egg was boiled and not soy-marinated or poached. But the noodles had great bite to them. And the portion was big. I wholeheartedly recommend their slushies. I was able to customize mine and ask for them not to put any sugar in it. Service is great. The staff is polite and courteous and keep the space tidy and sanitary. I'll probably come back for the slushies and juices and I'll try other items on the menu.

They gave us a menu immediately and were available to answer our questions. We spent a little over $73 and ordered Mongolian Beef, 2 orders of Pork Wontons in Chili Oil, Salt & Pepper Crispy Chicken, Pork & Cabbage Pan Fried Dumplings, and an order of Xiao Long Bao. The Mongolian beef didn't taste like Mongolian Beef but it was full of flavor. It had a sweet but savory taste and the meat was super tender. Unfortunately it did not come with rice and I didn't know. It's ok, because I don't each much of it. The pan fried dumplings had a nice crispy exterior but soft inside. The meat veggie mixture was full of flavor. The Xiao Kong Bao had a nice subtle broth inside and it was quite refreshing. I honestly didn't care for the pork wontons in chili oil. They did not lack flavor but there was a spice on it similar to tajin that clashed a bit in flavor with the chili oil. Also, I couldn't really taste the meat and just tasted chewy dumpling dough. The salt and pepper crispy chicken was full of flavor. The only downfall was the ride home made it not so crispy but that's not a flaw in the food. A suggestion would be to cut holes in the packaging so it doesn't steam itself as much from the heat. Overall, great food and great service. I will definitely go back.

On top of that, the menu is very limited, only two combo options. If you want crab and shrimp together, you're forced to buy them separately, and it's not cheap The only upside was that they had a deal where if you spend over $70 before tax, you get a free item from a selected list. Also, the crab meat and shrimp themselves were very meaty and fresh, which is the main reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. Overall, I wouldn't return.

Surprisingly, for a Friday night, the place was dead. Back then, I remember waiting 40 minutes to an hour just to get in. This time? We got seated immediately, and honestly... that already lowered my expectations. The selection was still pretty big with a lot of variety, so I started off with the seafood. It was decent. Nothing amazing, but good enough to satisfy the craving without worrying about food poisoning. The crab legs were ridiculously salty though. The biggest disappointment was the hot food section. I honestly don't understand how fried rice and chow mein can taste that bland. Zero flavor. The orange chicken and beef broccoli were okay, but definitely nothing memorable. They also had steak, though I can't remember which cut it was, but it was dry and overcooked. They also had a seafood boil section, but the shrimp were overcooked and the crawfish definitely didn't taste the freshest. It had that slightly off taste where you start questioning if you should keep eating it. Ironically, the best thing I had all night was the Mongolian BBQ. That was actually really good and probably the only thing I genuinely enjoyed. But that's also the disappointing part. If my favorite thing at a buffet is the Mongolian BBQ station, I could've just gone to a regular Mongolian BBQ spot, paid less, and probably enjoyed the meal more. The service also felt pretty off throughout the night. Most of the servers, the workers behind the buffet line, and even the bussers didn't seem friendly at all. Everything just felt slow and low energy, like nobody really wanted to be there. Not the worst buffet experience, but definitely nowhere near as good as I remembered it years ago.
