Coming from Midwest, I ordered Almon Chicken, Pepper Steak, chicken Fried rice spicy and an egg roll. Paid for my bill and waited in my car. I only live 13 city blocks away. Only thing that was hot was the pepper steak. Egg roll bout half size of twinkle, chicken fried rice, smelled and tasted like fish broth. Chicken almond should of been called chop suey. Beef in pepper steak was pretty good. It was the rest of the meal that ruined it all. I am so sorry for theses people, I spoke with the woman who said they been doing this for 35 years, she wants to retired. Her husband wants to continue to work.

Prob won't ever go back bc they didn't even care when I told them there was an issue. They serve their cold, which was expected. I tried to eat them cold but it was so hard to chew I just took them him thinking I'd air fry to see if cooking would help the greens they use. It did not. The stems were hard and stringy I literally couldn't bite through them at the restaurant. The lettuce had only the hard centers. It was an unrefined MESS. Shrimp was fine. Noddles fine. The greens ruined any hope of a good meal bc they didn't have the quality and no one took the time to trim appropriately. Told the waitress who said "oh ok I'll tell them-even after seeing my plate still had 75% of it left. No effort whatsoever. So disappointing bc Lamar county needs to have reliably good places to eat and their inattention caused them to fall short. Again.

I eat here all the time and I love it! I actually crave their food if I don't get it for a while. It's clean, the service is wonderful, large airy atmosphere, great place for large groups. There's a lot to choose from and a little something for everyone, even if you don't like or never had Chinese food before, or have picky children. It's addictive. My friends and I often text each other that we have a food emergency and that's code for meet us here!! read more

We both had another meal left over when we left. We came here because of the reviews I'd seen on the fried rice. It didn't let us down. Best in town for sure! The chicken was terrific as was the shrimp. The vegetables were as good as anywhere we'd had Asian style vegetables before. Even the california roll was a level above anyone else in town.

I ordered the chicken parmigiana and mushroom appetizer. The salad was very good as it usually is and I love the house dressing. The mushrooms were not what we expected but were delicious and I am sure we will order this appetizer again. When the Chicken Parmigiana arrived at the table it was huge and bubbling with cheese. One bite and I knew it was the best I had ever been served. I first had this dish at the Little Mushroom in Dallas located in the buyers market when I was 18. At that time I had no idea what I was ordering could possibly taste like but soon found out I was in for a real treat.

The ambiance takes you back a century where old brick meets velvet with a lone saxophone plays in the background as you take a seat in a comfortable chair at a beautiful stable table.

If you too have thought that impeccable service was an impossible ask from our local establishments, then please let me introduce you to Nicholas at The Celler. A bright young gentleman equipped with perfect timing, knowledge of dishes, and charisma. We never found ourselves looking for him, and yet not once did we find him to be nuisance. His timing was perfection, drinks magically filled just before finished and dishes served at the optimal temperature. It felt like he was a friend you hadn't seen in a long while that actually loved his job. In conclusion all I can say is it was truly a perfect experience that I suggest everyone should try.

We hoped, since Jaxx is a bit of a staple in Paris, that's the first time we went there was just an off night. However, our second experience was just as bad. We asked for fresh crisp fries, and they were floppy and not good. We debated on voicing our concerns or not when the waitress asked if everything was OK. We hesitated for a minute, and then told her that things were fine. I think that she realized things were less than desirable, but instead of asking further questions, she avoided our table for the rest of the time and gave us looks. We were very kind and cordial, we just weren't impressed with the price or the quality of food. We won't be back.
