C21- roast pork w/ garlic sauce. Egg roll not pictured. Pretty darn edible.
Chad F.

In From out of town and stopped in spur of the moment for dinner. Owners(?) seemed very nice, food pretty solid for Chinese takeout. Fried rice in combo not bad but not great. I'd ask for white rice next time. When I'm back in town and I want some China takeout I'll be back.

Shrimp w/mixed vegetables dinner combo

It wasn't the best I've had around town, but it was good enough for me to like it. I don't eat meat, so I asked for no pork fried rice, but she said only egg is in it (I don't like it that much, has a lot of sodium). Also, asked if I could sub a spring roll instead of the egg roll and she said egg roll w/the dinner combo is veggies only. Crab Ragoons were good... they were in a triangle shape, not the 3D shape. I prefer these, because the 3D stars you get little filling.

It's a no go from me. The rice was 100% left overs from Saturday night. I literally saw her take it out of a container and reheat it on the wok, what a bummer! For "fried rice" it only contained egg and rice. No veggies at all - that was very odd. The orange chicken tasted really weird, the sauce was super thick and tasted extremely sour. Let's not talk about the egg roll that smelled really really bad. It was full of veggies which is okay. I love veggies. I'm pretty sure the egg roll was no longer good and should've been tossed instead. This place isn't fancy so I wasn't expecting amazing quality food. But common... when you think Chinese your mouth instantly waters. This place was a huge disappointment.

I've been to many Chinese takeout places in Naples but this place located in the Strand Plaza is by far the best tasting that I've experienced. The place isn't fancy at all inside and the decor is very basic but, what they lack in in appearance they definitely make up in the quality of their food. There is plenty of parking in the plaza and they have vegetarian options. I always order the Fried Chicken Wings or Lo Mein combination because they cook it really well! The Chicken Wings are so crispy and flavorful while super tender inside. The Lo Mein noodles have good texture and not to soft while having some nice crispy char from the high heat wok. Super tasty and not overly salty. They serve fried rice with the combination dinners and like the Lo Mein, the rice isn't mushy and has good texture and some charred ends. The rice is seasoned perfectly with a nice rich color and not bland compared to other places in town that make the fried rice bland and tasteless. The service was good and they have very affordable lunch combination for less than $6.00. I definitely recommend this place for its good food at affordable prices and great taste.

On our way to Sunrise to catch a MN Wild game against the FL Panthers, my wife and I stopped by…read moreNaples for lunch and a quick exploration. One of our neighbors used to live in the area and recommended anything in Tin City for lunch. We walked to Tin City from the free parking structure just off 5th Avenue and, while we found the area mildly interesting, we didn't like any of the typical joints along the water. Besides, having eaten at Dockside in Venice the day prior, we were looking for something other than seafood. In looking at Yelp, we were intrigued by Ichi Togarishi so we walked back towards 5th Avenue. Located just off 5th Avenue, this small place would be quite easy to miss. Upon entering, we realized how snug this place was. We were seated promptly and presented the menu. My wife ordered the Chicken Veggie Shoyu Soy Ginger and I had the Chashu Belly Garlic Noodle. We both liked our dishes, with complex, bold flavors. The Chashu belly was tender with sweetness and soy flavor shining thru. Its flavor profile reminded me of Pad Thai. A very nice find in Naples!

Had lunch there recently when I visited the town for a race. Definitely the best meal I had there,…read moreand my server was one of the best I have ever seen. The restaurant has a large menu featuring different ramen (dry or w/ soup) and rice dishes, as well as appetizers. I tried their steamed vegetable dumplings and the pork ribs dry ramen. Both dishes were fantsastic. It was the first time that I had dumplings filled with endamame+minced garlic. It was savory and slightly sweet. The meat in the ramen was fork-tender and full of umami; the ramen was chewy; and it was served with a wide variety of fresh vegetables (zucchin, broccoli, carrot, onions, green onions, corn, microgreens, pickled ginger). The ramen was ~5oz. PS: the noodles are salty -- ramens are meant to be salty. Service was awesome. Several things that my server impressed me: 1. He asked me about my food allergies -- important for seafood-dense restaurants like a Japanese restaurant. 2. I asked for some extra ramen when I just got the entree. He suggested to bring me the extra when I almost finish the ramen in my entree. Surprisingly, he brought a small bowl of ramen exactly when I was about to finish it -- very precise and customer-oriented. 3. Food was served in a reasonable amount of time. 4. When he was taking the order of another table, he gave recommendations to the customers based on their dietary preferences, instead of blindly mentioning the "signature dishes" like most servers do. Moreover, when the customers ordered food, he squat down to listen what they said carefully. So, yes, I speak highly of this restaurant. Definitely recommend it. And I will dine in it again next time I visit Naples.

I'm sad to give this review because the food is really good but there was a really RUDE girl who…read moretook our order and almost made us leave. We're just visiting from out of state and this girl was rolling her eyes and acting as if I was dumb. As she was taking my order, she walked away mid way through as I was talking and when she returned she started laughing at me and making fun of me with her friend who was behind me. The food was great and the other guy was kind but whoever thy girl is, she needs to be taught some manners and she should definitely not work with customers. That said, their egg rolls & crab Rangoon are on point. The chicken with garlic sauce is bomb! It's flavorful and has just the right amount of spice to it. The rice is well made and the vegetables are prepared perfectly with the right amount of crunch and not soggy. If that girl was not there I would have given it five stars and to be honest she was so rude I should have given it one star but the food was really good so I'm trying to be fair and objective.

The lovely lady who took our order was so kind and even suggested we try their lunch specials, such a great recommendation! My husband got the sesame chicken with pork fried rice, and I ordered the Hunan chicken (extra spicy!) with pork fried rice. Both came with a spring roll that was packed with flavor. The food was so hot and freshly cooked that we had to wait at least five minutes after getting home just to let it cool before digging in! If you're craving truly amazing Chinese food, this is the spot. Family-owned and it really shows in the care, quality, and flavor. Highly recommend!
