3 inch hair in my food
Christopher T.

Food and customer service had been decent up to this point; however, today has been proven otherwise with hair in my food and a dishonest transaction. I was told one price verbally, paid cash, and was shorted a couple dollars in change. It's happened before with cash transactions and I thought I misheard or was mistaken, but it happened again today. I also got this long ass hair in my rice. I will no longer frequent this place on my lunch breaks.

I ask for just chow mien and teriyaki bowl and she filled it up to the very top and then some :) also added broccoli which I thought was very thoughtful. You get ur money's worth 6$. Will be back again! It's super fast ..perfect for my 30 min lunch time

Ghetto Chinese at its finest (^^)
Christopher H.

Two item plus soda is $7 but lady hooked it up for $5. Extra yummy for the kindness (^^)

The best hot and sour soup I've had with tons of tofu and mushrooms. And the quality has been consistent over time.

Possibly the worst "Chinese" food ever if you want to call it. The lady is nice but food is awful. Never going back.

I'm going to come back because Kevin works here. Context: when I first came, I went to the…read morerestroom. I'm wheelchair bound and it makes it awkward to get around at times, I was thinking I'd see if they had outdoor seating. Kevin was so observant of my presence in the restraunt and had a chair pulled out for me at a table when I came out. I was so touched that he noticed me come in and was ready to seat me. It made me feel welcome, and I decided I didn't want to eat outside anymore. I was there with my dad. Kevin helped give us good recommendations since it was our first time ordering. He smiled and was so friendly to us. The food was good, but the service was outstanding! Kevin made sure our jasmine tea had fresh refills at appropriate moments. He didn't hover, but he was sensitive to the right times to check in. We received really good service because of him. Makes me want to bring friends back here for lunch or dinner. Everything we ordered was good, but I personally recommend the Sautéed Fish Fillet with veggies! Very tasty!

Specializing in American Chinese cuisine, this restaurant serves weekend specials that we got for…read morelunch. I ordered the black pepper beef ($14.95), which also came with fried rice, hot and sour soup, a vegetable egg roll, and a chicken wonton. The beef slices were tender and thin with juices remaining in the meat. However, the dish overall seemed a little too oily for my palate. The fried rice was good and didn't have an overpowering flavor. The side dishes accompanying the weekend special were adequate. However, the vegetable egg roll was oily, and I had to wipe my fingers each time I picked it up. The little chicken wonton was wrapped in a greasy aluminum foil that wasn't very pleasant to open. I found the hot and sour soup adequate, but I've eaten better elsewhere. Despite some minor disfavors with the food, the weekend special is still cost effective, allowing you to get a big lunch for under $15. There wasn't a wait, and we got immediately seated. We got our food relatively quickly, and our server came back to ask if I needed more water. The ambience is relaxed and quiet with peaceful piano music in the background. Bathrooms are toward the back, and parts of the walls and plumbing inside looked dirty and stained.

Okay so this place was great. We wanted lunch after church and did not leave disappointed. We…read moreordered a large variety of dishes, as my kids won't eat XLB, the beef and broccoli was hands down the best I've ever had. We got the the pork (non sweet), beef and the chicken XLB, the wontons in chili oil, walnut shrimp, hot and sour soup, chicken chow mein and the garlic cucumbers. The XLB, every one was delicious, delicate & needed nothing additional other than a little sriracha. The wontons in chili oil were delicious, not spicy at all but had great flavor. The walnut shrimp, was perfect,crispy, saucy, sweet. The hot and sour soup was good, kind of par for the course when it comes to that soup & the cucumbers were crunchy, garlicky, perfect starter! I have seen lots of reviews about the way you order or the friendliness of the staff. I think that just comes down to different cultures, expectations of what they'd get from a server at a Mexican restaurant or Applebees. I actually liked being able to make everything off & having a receipt dropped at my table to confirm my order. The vibes were great, family style dining is a huge plus for me and mine. We will definitely be back, this one is going in the after church rotation!

not kids friendly, if you spend more than 40 mins here, the waiters will throw the bill to you. And…read morestart to clean the table. Only juicy dumplings is okay, other food is below average
