Good place to go after a movie or music in Amherst. Spacious and good food. Very good food for Chinese American.

Fu Qi Fei Pian

My favorite place to get fiqifeipian!!! I am a fienddd for this dish and will get it without fail everytime. Outside of this specific order, I try to change up the dishes I order every time I go. Overall, there isn't much too crazy to write home about with but all dishes are decently yummy. The prices are a little steep for the quality but in this economy, most prices are. Besides food, the lighting in the restaurant is a little dim for my liking but otherwise fine. The service is really good, there is this one waiter who is incredibly polite and sweet, making dining in a really pleasant experience. Would come back again!!

This place was average. Sushi was pretty good but the Chinese food was not. I had ma Po tofu with pork, there was no pork, just huge chunks of tofu in a greasy, salty sauce. Most of our food didn't come home with us. Service was quick. It's your average run of the mill Asian restaurant with booths and tables. It was busy.

Super good food and drinks. Perfect prices for those not trying to break the bank. My only complaint is service. Our server was god awfully rude. Not sure how you expect a good tip when you're rude and try to kick people out when the restaurant is still open for 30+ minutes.

My friends and I came here after a long morning in school. It was around 2pm on a Saturday and the place was surprisingly not packed at all. We were seated and we had a waiter come by to take our orders almost immediately. The servers we had were super accommodating, prompt with taking our orders, and even asked to refill our waters when our glasses started getting low. Our food came and honestly, they weren't the best. Though two of my party enjoyed their plates, me and another friend weren't a big fan of their sushi and dumplings. For one, the dumplings were super dry and way too doughy. Though my sushi was good, I felt like I definitely overpaid for only 6 rolls. The presentation was nice but I could have paid less for the same dish at a different restaurant. Though we had great service here, I don't think I'll be coming back given me feeling as though the price points. Other than that, there was a private parking lot and there's a male/female bathroom inside. The staff were friendly and the restaurant seemed relatively clean on the inside and outside.

Ginger chicken with string beans and white rice.

Really good - glad take out is available right now. I got the ginger chicken with string beans. Next time I'll have to get the sesame chicken, which is my typical go-to for Chinese take out. My dad got General Tso's chicken and asked for it extra spicy, but he told me it wasn't spicy enough.

My friend recommended this place during my visit, and we loved this place. When we showed up in the…read morelate afternoon, we were the first people there so we were the only guests until the end of our meal. Peter and Cookie took amazing care of us and were attentive. Anything we needed anything, they were happy to help. The chef was also very nice but I didn't ask his name. We ordered the Ginger Tea, Seaweed Salad + Gyoza (vegetable dumplings) to start, along with a small rice. The ginger tea is made with fresh ginger and is slightly sweet, the seaweed salad was authentic. The Gyoza were phenomenal; I asked Peter his advice on fried or grilled and he recommended fried. For the main course, we ordered the Fantastic Roll and the Koala Roll which were heavy hitters. 100% recommended. They have sake and are BYOB, big plus! We came back a second time, and I ordered the same thing: veggie gyoza and Fantastic Roll. My friends daughter loved the veggie dumplings just as much as I did. My friend and her daughter shared the sushi meal, and it came with sashimi that they loved. We also tried their chicken teriyaki appetizer and the meal. The appetizer comes with spicy mayo sauce which came on kebab sticks, and were too spicy for the kids but I thought they were perfect. The meal did not have spicy mayo and was sliced on a steaming platter. It was delicious as well, but I personally preferred the appetizer style. Eric and Peter were amazing servers the second time. I'm more than happy to support this local restaurant anytime I'm in town. Everything was extremely fresh, authentic, and larger portions than most places for an amazing price point. This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants from now on. You definitely don't want to miss this place.

Disappointing 21st Birthday Celebration -- Dirty, Overpriced, and Not Worth Returning!…read more We visited this restaurant for the first time to celebrate a special 21st birthday with six adults and one child. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable evening turned into an incredibly disappointing experience. The first red flag should have been our last. Before even entering, we noticed that the handicap-accessible ramp was blocked with caution tape, leaving stairs as the only apparent entrance. Anyone requiring accessible entry should call ahead. We were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated at our reserved table. However, the moment we reached our table, I noticed something absolutely disgusting: the CARPET was so sticky that our shoes were literally sticking to it! Yes, CARPET! Not tile, not hardwood, but carpeting so filthy and sticky that you could feel it with every step. This wasn't one isolated spot; it surrounded our entire table. I cannot imagine what had accumulated in that carpeting to make it that way. For a restaurant charging these prices, that level of neglect is unacceptable. I should have trusted my instincts and walked out right then. To make matters worse, a heating element or fixture was protruding near our table. I tripped over it and sustained a small cut on my foot. I didn't make a scene, but it was another concerning maintenance and safety issue. Now, credit where credit is due. Our server, J, was wonderful! He was attentive, professional, personable, and genuinely tried to make our evening enjoyable. He deserves recognition. The restaurant also made an effort to accommodate the birthday girl's gluten-free dietary needs by preparing her food separately in the kitchen. Unfortunately, her meals consistently arrived after everyone else's, but we appreciated the accommodation. The sushi was actually good! It was one of the few things I genuinely enjoyed. The hibachi, however, was an entirely different story. Greasy, flavorless, and completely underwhelming. The food lacked seasoning and was excessively oily. For the prices charged, I expected considerably better. The hibachi chef was equally disappointing. He dropped his utensils several times, and the performance lacked the excitement, personality, and entertainment that make hibachi dining special, especially for a milestone birthday. Unfortunately, I became physically sick and vomited shortly after leaving. I cannot say whether it was the sushi, the greasy hibachi, or something unrelated. I certainly hope it wasn't the sushi because that was actually enjoyable! Regardless, it was a miserable ending to an already disappointing evening. The restaurant itself needs serious attention. The interior appeared dated, worn, and poorly maintained. The women's restroom door was propped completely open with a trash can, and the facilities reflected the same general neglect as the dining area. The atmosphere was loud, unpleasant, and lacking any warmth or excitement. Nothing about this establishment felt special or justified its pricing. Then came the uncomfortable tipping situation. Our party split the bill, and my portion alone exceeded $170. Other members of our group generously tipped the hibachi chef in cash, while I wanted to recognize Jason separately for his excellent service. However, Jason appeared concerned that accepting an individual cash tip might get him in trouble with management because, according to what we were told, the chef and server are expected to split gratuities 50/50. I found that disappointing. In my opinion, Jason provided significantly better service and deserved to be recognized accordingly. I did not personally tip the chef because other members of our party had already done so generously, and I did not feel his performance warranted an additional gratuity. The bottom line? Perhaps this restaurant was wonderful in its heyday, but based on our experience, those days appear to be long gone. Between the disgustingly sticky carpeting, questionable maintenance, disappointing hibachi, worn facilities, uncomfortable tipping situation, and excessive prices, there was very little to justify the cost. The sushi was good, the gluten-free accommodation was appreciated, and Jason was excellent. Unfortunately, those positives couldn't overcome the rest of the experience. Would I return? Absolutely not. Would I recommend it? No. Even a complimentary voucher wouldn't convince me to go back. When you're celebrating someone's 21st birthday, you expect good food, a clean and safe environment, and a memorable experience. Sadly, this restaurant failed to deliver. My biggest regret? Not walking out the moment my shoes stuck to that filthy carpet. Instead, I stayed, spent a considerable amount of money, and ended my evening vomiting outside. Save your money and celebrate somewhere else. And J, thank you for being the one bright spot in an otherwise disappointing evening.

Well, our server, "Hellen" (yes, with two "L"s), gave us our drink order and then grabbed the drink menu from the table. My girlfriend said "Can we keep that?" - just in case we wanted a different drink later. My girlfriend then asked me if I wanted to keep the drink menu at the table, and I said, "Yeah - but we can always ask for it again." Whereupon "Hellen" shook the menu in her hand and said to us firmly, "Do you want the menu or not?!" I felt like saying to her "Who the h#ll do you think you're talking to?" - but didn't want to make a scene. Next, the only time we saw "Hellen" again was when she took our empty dinner dishes. (There were young guys walking around refilling our water glasses, so no need for her to do that.) We finished our meal and "Hellen" stopped at our table to leave the dinner check. Never once during our meal did she ask if everything was okay. She also didn't ask if we wanted another drink or, perhaps, dessert? (If they serve such a thing.) And it didn't appear to be just us. No one else on either side of us got another drink or was asked how their meal was. It seemed like it was just, "Here's your meal, hurry up and eat and leave so we can clean your table for the next people." Horrible service. Ruined the end of a nice day for us.

I really enjoyed the half soft-boiled egg in the shio ramen as well as the enormous quantity of noodles, but there wasn't a ton of flavor in the dish. The chicken hibachi had great sauce and decent noodles, but the meat was dry and felt overcooked. The caterpillar roll surprised me since it was tuna-based, rather than the eel that is typical for that name. None of the dishes stood out as exceptional. The service was quite interesting. I did appreciate the water service - the server came around early on yo offer refills. Then about midway through the meal, she asked if we wanted leftovers boxed up. I wasn't too hungry so I was fine with take home the leftovers, although the timing felt a bit early to me. I couldn't tell if that was because it was just after 8 PM and they were trying to close up soon (advertised closing time of 8:30 PM), but there were still plenty of other tables with diners. The bill came with a mandatory 18% tip for our group of 5.
