    Shrimp Fried Rice
    Jennifer W.

    Food is fresh but the wait is crazy! Very casual inside dining. This establishment also has a drive thru and a large parking lot with big pot holes so be careful there. I ordered the fish/shrimp combo, shrimp fried rice and happy family with an egg roll. I believe business has picked up here because of social media because it's never been so busy. I think it's worth the wait, definitely a good portion size and always fresh cooked to order.

    Tried towards the end of the lunch special, assuming that's why my fried rice was dry and old? Instagram brought me here, I'd rate it a 2star and nothing more. It's equivalent of mall food. I didn't like the eggroll filling. Left a weird aftertaste in my mouth after each bite.

    Best Chinese food around! Always hot and fresh. My go to spot when I want a good lunch.

    Hot food that the owner threw on us causing burns and the police and paramedics were called.

    This is the 22 year old "owner", she gaslit me about my order, caught an attitude, and threw food on me and my children causing BURNS. We had GREAT experiences until today. SHAME ON YOU!!

    They could START, by seasoning the food ! The beef was chewy, they only put (3) shrimp in the order... the wontons were bone dry. The combination fried rice was gummy.

    Food wasn't the best. The young lady who was at the drive thru was also not the friendliest. I haven't been inside to see how the ambiance is because i stopped going after that first interaction.

    3 fish, 6 shrimp, fries & salad... Yummy!

The dumplings were not only delicious but also the cutest little dumplings ever. We also tried the garlic fried rice, and it was amazing. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waitress was fantastic and paid attention to the little details. My friend was making sure our order didn't include mushrooms, and she took the time to ask if it was due to an allergy so she could make sure everything was safe. That level of care really felt like going above and beyond. Great food, great prices, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back!

    This place is not lacking for great reviews and I can tell why…read more 1. Simple but varied menu. They have a few staple items that they do exceptionally well that keep people coming back. 2. The atmosphere is pretty slick. A Photo Booth like space, nice bathrooms and flexible seating to accommodate both large parties and small parties. Reasonable prices that allow you to try new things and enjoy other things that you may be familiar with. All of the items that we had are in the photos, but the creative presentation is what stood out most! Cute bao buns, chicken served with ramen to allow the customer to enjoy it as they would like, and good sized portions. My only ask would be for more broth with the ramen dishes. The noodle to broth ratio was just slightly off. 9/10 would recommend.

    This place is really going down hill…read more My wife and I ate here for lunch, on a Wednesday. We were sat, and waited 12 min for drinks while we were assaulted by cigarette smoke coming from the back. Apparently, some of the staff were smoking with the back door open. We almost left, and I wish we would have. The waitress didn't want to be there. It was almost like we were bothering her by being there. I ordered the Mongolian chicken lunch. What I received was the Mongolian beef. I didn't want to wait on them to fix the right entree, so I ate it. It was okay. I ordered water with lemon and I guess they were out of lemons.... We were watching them take forks out of the dishwasher and place them into a pitcher of clear liquid. Not sure what that was about. My wife got the chicken lomein and the chicken was soggy and greasy, she only had a few bites. Brought it home, and my 17yo son wouldn't even eat it. I really liked this place when it opened. Now it is struggling. I will not be back for a while. Only acceptable Asian in that area is Oishi Raman IMHO. I hope Forney gets some decent places with the new Gateway additions.

    One of the newer Asian restaurants in Forney. I've eaten here three times, once in person & the…read moreother two times ordered takeout. The inside is well structured for those who want to sit at the bar to eat alone or to sit in booths around the room. Decor is nice, lighting on the moody side & the restrooms were clean. When I did dine in I will say it took over 10 minutes before the server even acknowledged me, so I wasn't a fan of that. Although I may not have been assigned to the other servers they could've offered a drink or grabbed the gentleman to let him know I was sitting there, but all chose to just smile and walk by until he arrived (which is why I'm rating them a 4/5). When it comes to the food you can't go wrong with anything they offer. I personally love nigiri, so that's what I've continued to order from them and it's been fresh & flavorful each time. It's better to dine in for your first experience because they have a list of different fish you can choose from that isn't available to view online when you order to-go. I also think it's better to come in person as they do have quite the happy hour selection. The fried rice, beef skewers, edamame etc are all great options and portion sizes that will leave you satisfied. I didn't try any of their alcoholic beverages, but I'm sure those are just as good. If you're in the area check them out!
