This was seriously one of the BEST finds we've stumbled across! Don't get me wrong, I was a bit…read moreskeptical at first, but OH. MY. GOODNESS!!
We came in around 1:30 PM and stayed until about 2:30. The restaurant was calm and quiet at that time of day, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming, and the service was AMAZING. But the FOOD?! Absolutely phenomenal.
You can genuinely taste the authenticity and freshness in everything. This isn't one of those places where every dish tastes like the same generic Chinese-fusion food. You can tell there is care behind each dish, from the flavors and textures to the presentation.
We HAD to try literally almost EVERYTHING.
And when I say we HAD to try a little bit of everything, I mean it.
We ordered the chicken chow mein, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, sticky rice balls, sesame balls (8), fried veggie spring rolls (3), pork potstickers (8), AND the honey walnut shrimp with a side of steamed white rice. We basically turned our table into our own little tasting menu, and there genuinely wasn't a dish that made me regret ordering it.
We were even given complimentary egg drop soup because of how much we had ordered.
Anything that was supposed to be crunchy had a GRADE-A CRUNCH. The honey walnut shrimp was creamy, perfectly balanced, and easily one of my FAVORITES. The chicken chow mein was delicious, and I have to give them MAJOR credit for the orange chicken. I'm normally not a huge orange chicken person because so many places make it overly sweet or just not very palatable, but they got theirs DOWN TO A T. Even the potstickers came out with such a beautiful presentation!
Yes, at first glance some of the prices might seem a little higher, but once you see the portions, taste the freshness, and experience the quality, it makes sense. I normally say "cry once, buy once," but for a restaurant like this? I would GLADLY keep coming back. The quality and experience are absolutely worth it.
What honestly makes me a little sad is seeing how phenomenal this place is and knowing how easily it could get overlooked. There's so much traffic passing by--parents picking their kids up from school, people out working and grabbing lunch, or just anyone passing through--and I really hope more people stop in and give this restaurant the attention it deserves.
PLEASE give this place a try and support them! I will absolutely be recommending it to my friends and family.
Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and properly executed. My absolute favorite out of ALL of them would have to be the Honey Walnut Shrimp -- OH MY LORD.
And listen--if you're comparing this to fast-food Chinese prices, you're comparing apples to oranges. Sometimes you pay a little more because you're getting noticeably better freshness, flavor, quality, and care. If cheap is the goal, there's always Panda Express. If GOOD food is the goal, I know where I'm coming back.
I genuinely hope they continue to have so much success because food and service like this deserve to be recognized.
Long story short: STOP PASSING THIS PLACE UP! Come hungry, order a little bit of everything, and thank me later. Kung Fu Noodle, you understood the assignment.
10/10 -- WILL be back! Your taste buds will thank you.
