The gentleman at the front provided friendly, professional and attentive service throughout the meal. I ordered a Sweet Tea and Sesame Chicken from the lunch menu which is served with a Fried Spring Roll. The tea was some of the best tea I've ever had. The spring roll was cooked perfectly and filled with rice noodles, cabbage and carrots. The dipping sauce was typical sweet and sour sauce. The sesame chicken was cooked in a light batter and cooked perfectly. The sauce was a tangy and sweet mix. I enjoyed the flavor very much. I was disappointed the dish was not served with steamed broccoli which is how it is typically presented. However, if I had read the menu in more detail and taken a peek at their Yelp reviews I would have noticed they do not serve their sesame chicken with broccoli so that is my fault for not paying attention to detail but still disappointing to not have any vegetables in this particular dish. The fried rice was visually appealing in that it was cooked with egg but lacked flavor and it wasn't cooked with any vegetables either. Again, had I taken a peek at the reviews, I would've noticed that detail. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I will be back to try their Thai menu items. And based on my choices, (I chose a dish that was not Thai) will know to ask for a modification to the menu item to meet expectations. I would recommend this restaurant.

I really love what they serve with their summer rolls, they're consistent and super nice. I almost always get the drunken noodle or pad see ew with tofu (with egg) Every soup I've had is banging.

I'm sure the earth pork is the bomb if the tofu is bomb. Only once has it been a little dry. Tofu is a pain to keep cooked at a restaurant and prepare.

The buffet line isn't huge but they still had enough room for the usual chicken and sauce and veggies and the like. A beef and broccoli had more beef than broccoli but it's all still there. Fried egg rolls and chicken nuggets and egg drop soup. The desserts were okay and looked a little dry so I got an ice cream sandwich from the cooler that was great. Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Clean, well stocked and fresh (other than the cakes/cookies) so I would do this one again. [Review 2119 of 2024 - 3787 in North Carolina - 23138 overall]

The ambiance is that of an outdated, no money put back in to the restaurant , needs to close down for renovations type of ambience. I bet the carpeting is 30yrs old. I will say this. Considering what they're working with, the tables and chairs all looked clean and wiped down. I picked the buffet because I was craving eggrolls and fried rice and sesame chicken and was hoping to try a few other things. The hot food on the buffet was cold. It appeared to have been out since late morning and not refreshed. Some of the containers were empty and not refilled. The fried rice was hard and crunchy. Had some frozen mix of peas and carrots in it but now looked dehydrated. Maybe came from a mix? There was red pork in it. And had no flavor. The Eggroll had no meat in it. All cabbage. No seasoning either. The crab Rangoon was all Rangoon no crab. A yellow wonton with cream cheese is what you get. Not even sure where yellow wonton ton wrappers come from but my overall thoughts are that everything on the buffet came from a frozen box of precooked and prepared dishes. Nothing tasted fresh. Nothing. The only good thing was the tea and the more I thought about it all I could think of was when was the last time they had their ice makers cleaned? I'm guessing when they had that carpet installed. The lady who waited on me was sweet, friendly and attentive. But I cannot in good faith recommend and will not return. I'm kind of tired of spending my money on subpar food and other reviews here on Yelp were saying how good it is. I feel so mislead and disappointed. Ehhh.

It's hard sometimes to order food that's worth having left overs and also the kids menu options at most places just aren't that great, nor healthy. Or they just won't allow me to order from the kids menu. I went up to the counter and asked if it was possible to get a small order of one side and one meat. I, of course, explained the situation. They were super nice and told me that it was fine. One of the guys even offered me a ginger ale since it's good for the stomach lol and I thought that was super kind. Either way. The service was great, the food was fresh, and I was in and out in 2 min. I don't eat here often, but when I do, I'm never unsatisfied.

I got the Shrimp Tempura which was just mushy and lacked any texture variation within it from what I normally get which is cool & firm avocado, crunchy and warm fried shrimp with cool rice. I also got a pork/ vegetable egg roll which also lacked flavor and was pulled from the warmer tray where it was likely put after being made hours ago. Overall if I'm craving sushi again I'll be going elsewhere. We both had a piece but weren't impressed, may try their hot bar next time before completely giving up.

Best Chinese food in town! Amazing food and amazing owners. The couple who run this restaurant are so friendly and loving! They also serve several Thai dishes. The egg rolls are the best ones I've ever had! Fried rice is to die for and their lo mein is very tasty as well. The location is out of the way for most but definitely worth it! read more

Well dang, what a surprise this place was! We have a clear cut favorite Chinese take-out place…read morenormally, but the rest of Greensboro ALSO has that same favorite (IYKYK) and on peak nights, the wait can sometimes be more than an hour, so we needed a backup. I like a place in Jamestown that is a little closer, but my wife doesn't like their noods quite as much, so I suggested we try this place that was just a little farther. The only negative I have for this place, is it is located in a SKETCHY shopping center. Ever since the Food Lion moved out (there's always a Food Lion), the amount of light in this parking lot is extremely low. At night, it doesn't present well, but really, it's fine. Just stay alert, and with the low amount of cars, you can just pull up in front of the restaurant where it is more well-lit. The food though. YES. Great portions, reasonably priced, and as another reviewer mentioned, you'll find more meat and maybe even better meat, in your orders than at other places for the most part. We kept this first order basic. Orange chicken, beef lo mein, steamed dumplings, and crab rangoons. Kind of our basis for comparison to all other places. The orange chicken, first thing you notice, big pop of zesty orange flavor. Check. Next thing you notice and I would say even makes it better than our favorite... much lighter thinner breading on the chicken chunks. This means more meat, and a more satisfying bite, especially once the chicken gets a little cooler and loses some crispiness. This was a winner. Beef lo mein. Noodles were excellent, amount of beef, also excellent. No toughness or gristle. We were super satisfied with this. Crab rangoons, pretty standard quality. Steamed dumplings, probably not something we would go for again, as these were your basic gyoza. Our fave place on Bridford hand makes their steamed dumplings and that quality shows. Egg rolls, were good enough to order again, but nothing amazing. Accoutrements like crispy noodles and white rice, all good. Even the fortune cookies, NOT STALE! This was a treat, and a tough thing to find. It's clear to me why this place can continue to do well even with the shopping center losing that grocery store anchor. We will be returning customers!
