    The Cajun Boil Combo with their own sauce. Nothing Cajun about it.
    Brenda E.

    The images at the place can be misleading. Let's begin with the "seafood combo" with their special sauce...presentation was what it would like in a fish market. There was shrimp, crab legs, clams and 2 small corn cobs, with the option of substituting potatoes, in a clear plastic double bag marinated and steamed/boiled in their sauce. The flavor was dull, and the price was expensive for what you actually get. Decided to give it another try and ordered their "paella". Now I'd you have eaten paella before you are expecting a lots seafood that can be obviously seen in the rice and the restaurant image is deceiving. In reality what it looks like is just more fried rice with seafood. And the rice is dried up and there is nothing really wow about it. So disappointed--will probably not give a 3rd chance.

    It is pricey for some items, but the food, is good, there is a big selection, including lots of appetizers and delivery does not take long.

    I walked by this restaurant on my way to the dentist. I couldn't help to concentrate on the aromas…read more They drew me in. I ordered some of my personal favorites. I took them home and shared them with a friend. The ribs were a revelation. The shrimp lomein amazed me. The dumplings were fabulous. My favorite dishes is baby shrimp in chili sauce and eggplant in garlic sauce. Every order is perfection. I cried when they reopened after the Pandemic. Don't miss this gem.

    We ordered delivery from here and everything was good. The food was packed well and we did not have…read moreany leaking which I appreciate. We have a staple restaurant from which we always order but one of this place's dishes stuck out to me and had great reviews so that was what made me take a chance with them. I saw this picture of their Shrimp Chow Mei Fun everywhere and the shrimp were huge. People said it was a really good dish so I had to try it. I will say that it tastes really good but this recession has definitely affected the shrimp size. They serve medium-sized shrimp in this dish and the pictures where saw extra large shrimp, are likely no more. The flavor was still really good and I suggest asking for some chili oil as well, if you don't have any at home. That's a game-changer. We had their sesame chicken, shrimp dumplings, sautéed broccoli and wonton soup, which were all very good. They even pan fried the dumplings as requested. Their shrimp and egg rolls were fried very hard which I don't like. It's a little difficult for my daughter to eat the hard exterior as well. The fantail shrimp were very sad. I'm used to them being mostly breading but these are ridiculous. The shrimp size is a fourth of the overall breading. If it's getting too expensive to serve them, they may want to take them off the menu entirely and just serve fried shrimp or popcorn shrimp. They were literally that size. The house fried rice was also not a favorite. I'm not into super dark fried rice and it just seemed really hard. This is your run-of-the-mill neighborhood Chinese takeout spots I wasn't expecting gold standards but now I know how to order from them in the future if I ever have another craving for their Chow Mei Fun.
