    Fresh sushi, great variety one the buffets, and very accommodating for our party of 15. We all loved it.

    The food: 5 stars always. Great dishes. The service: 1…read morestar. The atmosphere: ZERO STARS! I can appreciate the owners having kids. But...the small dining room is set up like a daycare. TV: timed in to kids programming and loud at any point and time. Kids: the daughter is quite enough. But the son talks out loud....saying what he's seeing on TV....non-stop....and I mean non-stop. And he is loud, fast talking....and oh, did I say loud? And this is how this place was on this visit. Read my other review, where the owner; which was our waiter one time in the past; never put the daughter down; as he took our order or served us. And the daughter was sick and a snotty nose that was snorting around like all get out! Service: They are never organized or attentive at all to the sit in customers. Tables always sit dirty. And if you eliminate the two tables...the owner's kids dominate...I think that only leaves (4) total tables to manage. And I sit there...and see multiple Door Dash orders get messed up and/or take forever. This last time, a Dasher left after waiting forever. The new owners may be nice or well intended. But...they have ruined this place...for all the wrong reasons.

    Honestly, I did not expect to find food like this in Springfield. I came here for work my travel…read morejob. This is my third time in Missouri. The first time I visited St. Louis, I had amazing Chinese food,but I still wasn't expecting this level here in Springfield. I've actually walked past Corner 21 multiple times and kept going to the restaurant across the street... yeah, big mistake. The food here is legit Northeastern Chinese cuisine, super authentic, not watered down, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was spot on, and the dishes came out pretty quickly too. For context, I grew up in Asia and have lived in California for 25 years, so I'm pretty selective when it comes to Chinese food. This place easily holds up even compared to spots in LA. Service was great. Our server, Allen (天宇), was friendly, attentive, and just easy to talk to. It felt welcoming without being over the top, which I really appreciated. The space itself is clean, nicely set up, and has a comfortable vibe. And I have to say the milk tea was ridiculously good. I've been drinking boba since I was a kid, and this one really stood out. Even my coworkers (who aren't Asian) loved everything, which says a lot. Didn't expect to find something this authentic in the Midwest, but here we are. Definitely coming back.

    This is my 3rd visit and it's by far the most authentic Chinese cuisine in 417Land. I enjoyed the…read morespicy fish on this visit, but I really wish the fish had some actual heat to it (in the breading), and not just relying on the heat from the sliced dried chilies, which are abundant, but hard to chew. The cumin lamb is always a hit as well as the duck. I visit Springfield often and look forward to working my way through this menu. It reminds me of the Chinese food I can find along Olive Boulevard in an hour version of Chinatown in St. Louis. My family that is migrated to Springfield from St. Louis are super happy with this restaurant and apparently everyone else in Springfield is too because the place is always jampacked. Congratulations to them! They moved from their original location on Sunshine and are thriving here on Republic in the shiny new location (formerly the failed Sugarfire franchise, ironically from STL).
