With friends for dinner. I ordered the veggie Tofu. I was ok. It was in a brown sauce and I feel that it needed more of something. But I usually order the Thai Basil Tofu, so I'll stick to that. My wife had a chicken dish and she felt the same thing. It was ok, maybe missing more flavor. Our friends seemed ok with their food. So, not sure what they really felt. I feel that their lunches are always better than dinner for some reason. Also, they offer a nice lunch special. We will be back, but maybe only for lunches. read more

It's about getting the order right. We ordered P3 Pork with Garlic Sauce, egg fried rice, egg rolls and spring rolls. When he showed me the ticket on pick up, it was all there. When I got home it was chicken and vegetables, about 6 bean sprout, 2 carrot pieces, microscopic egg flakes here and there. No egg rolls. This is the third time we have ordered pork and they substituted chicken. It's a no for me. read more

Finally, a Good Ethnic Restaurant -- With Some Caveats A neighbor recently told me about what they considered the best restaurant they've eaten at in The Villages -- a Chinese restaurant. They were so impressed on their first visit that they brought another neighbor along the second time, someone who owns a fine‑dining restaurant and is essentially a Michelin‑level chef from Washington State. He loved his dish as well, which definitely raised my expectations. Today, my spouse, two friends, and I decided to give it a try. As someone Asian, I'm not easily impressed by restaurants claiming to serve "authentic" Asian cuisine. I look for specific flavors, presentation, and a level of authenticity that matches the culture they represent. When I walk in, I look at what people are eating and who's working in the kitchen and dining room. Our server greeted us with a very thick accent and struggled to understand our questions about the menu. We found ourselves repeating things several times, which made ordering a bit challenging. When I began placing my order, I told him my first dish -- Shrimp Mei Fun -- and before I could continue, he immediately turned to my spouse for his order. I had to stop him and let him know I wasn't finished. The food came out quickly, but during the wait, no one checked on us or offered drink refills. When one of our friends' dishes arrived, the server said something none of us understood, and she seemed frustrated that we didn't respond. Our friend eventually realized the dish was meant for her -- except it wasn't what she ordered. She asked for Kung Pao Chicken but received General Tso's. She decided to keep it, and fortunately, everyone else's orders were correct. Now, the food itself? Delicious. Truly. If I were rating only the dishes, this would be a solid 5‑star review. But service matters, and unfortunately, the service fell short in several ways -- communication issues, no follow‑ups, and an incorrect order. Because of that, the best I can give is 3 stars. I would return, but only for takeout -- and I'd double‑check the order before leaving. It had the potential to be a great spot to bring my Sunday golf group, but after today, I don't think they could handle a party of 16. read more

We had Sesame Chicken and Pork Lo Mein. The chicken showed up like warm. 2 minutes after we ordered. That was someone else meal that got ghosted or something. We complained it was cold and they popped it in the microwave. We were not happy. We also believe it was actually orange chicken as well. The lo mein was good. The service was not. read more

I went to this restaurant in The Villages today for my birthday and I am really disappointed. I ordered Szechuan Beef and I drove 11 miles one way as per other reviews I thought this was supposed to be the best Chinese food in the area and Sadly I was mistaken. So, after I got home and I tasted my meal I thought that it did not look like beef at all and then after tasting it, it did not taste like beef to me at all it tasted like chicken. I called the restaurant and I spoke to the owner and I was thinking they made a mistake and gave me chicken instead of beef. I took a screen shot of the dinner and texted it to her and she said that my dinner was indeed beef and not chicken. If there was a mistake made I would be disappointed but I would accept it and I certainly was not going to drive 22 miles to go pick up a replacement but for the restaurant owner to tell me it is beef and if what she gave me was beef (which I highly doubt) I have never eaten beef that both tasted and looked like chicken before so the other scary thought is, if that is true and again that is a big IF then what kind of inferior meat are they using for the beef dishes. I also read an earlier review where the customer said the restaurant substituted their pork dish for chicken on more then one occasion so apparently this is not the first time the restaurant has substituted a protein. I know what beef looks and tastes like and I have ordered this dish at many a Chinese restaurant in the past and I have never questioned whether the Beef Szechuan was Chicken or some other kind of protein. So, long story longer! I will not EVER go to this restaurant again! This was the worst birthday meal ever, what a waste of money and not what I ordered . I also want to mention that this dish is supposed to be spicy as its a Szechuan dish and it was not spicy at all not even a little bit so the two words I would use to rate this meal would be Major Disappointment I am also posting the screen shot I sent to the owner which she had requested that I send for proof and she doubled down and still denied that it was chicken. I added a screen shot, the photo on the right is from the internet, a food blogger, as this is what Beef Szechuan is supposed to look. Look at the different texture of the protein in each and you be the judge. read more

This spot is officially my go-to. Food is always fresh, the place is consistently clean, and the portions are just right. Most importantly, they're reliable -- there's never a bad meal here, and that consistency is hard to find. Their hot and sour soup is a standout. Easily the best within a 20-mile radius -- perfectly balanced, full of flavor, and done right every time. Everything on the menu delivers, and they never disappoint. Pro tip: don't skip the spare ribs. Finger-licking good and a must-order. Mic drop: when a restaurant gets freshness, flavor, and consistency right every single time, it stops being a place you try -- it becomes a place you return to. This one made the cut. read more

Just finished up at the Quest Diagnostics lab; it was noontime and we were feeling a need for Chinese food. As usual the restaurant was quite busy, although we experienced no delay in being seated. We decided to reprise an earlier meal that we had really liked: The appetizer that consisted of eight pieces of batter dipped, deep fried chicken wings and drumsticks. My wife and I split this order of appetizer between the two of us for lunch, and we each had a cup of hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup needed to be warmer, but it had its usual rich and luxurious flavor. For added taste enjoyment, I asked for a small bowl of the house chili oil to add to my H/S soup. Had enough of the house chili oil to also use some on the wings. The wings were really hot and fresh, and they hold their heat throughout the meal. (Photo is H/S Soup, chili oil, hot tea) read more

The cashew chicken is so good. It's always the same. They don't waver on the recipe. I do ask for darker cooked cashews and they come darker in my food. read more

We ordered sweet and sour soup and it was so full of vinegar, we could not eat it. Then we had the Shrimp Lo Mein. ȚHe picture had a lot of shrimp.The picture was shrimp, clean looking noodles and some vegetables. The dish we got had a dark sauce that was not good giving a heavy coat to everything. MY spouse spit it out. It was overcooked noodles and shrimp that had an ammonia taste. WE have been here before and don't think we will be back. Most of this overpriced meal went in the garbage. Maybe they have a different cook? read more

Excellent food and reasonable prices. We started with the bang bang shrimp, it was perfectly cooked. I would have liked it a bit spicier, but it was good. We also had the orange chicken and the pork with garlic sauce, both very good. The egg fried rices is a must, it was delicious. Very cute restaurant, the decor was perfect- warm, cheerful and welcoming. The staff was very attentive, excellent service. We can't wait to go back! read more

Nice tasteful decor, clean, quiet, great food and service every time. We live 40 minutes away, well worth the drive.

The worst Chinese food I've had. My Kung Pao chicken had a fishy taste to it and wasn't spiced correctly. My partners dish wasn't much better. Had the server take my plate away and just had the appetizer and soup that was ok. He said he would tell the manager so I assumed that they would take my dinner off our bill but they didn't. Never going back!! read more

Best Chinese food in the area!! The restaurant itself is very nice and beautifully decorated. Service is wonderful and the food..the food is amazing. We had lunch specials- Kung Pao chicken and the Orange chicken. Each came with a choice of rice, and a soup or spring roll. Their wonton soup is the best. Both dishes were delicious. It's our new favorite!! read more

Surprisingly packed for a Chinese restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. That's a good sign! Luckily we got a booth before the 5pm crowd. For a starter, I highly recommend the Won Ton Soup, super flavorful. The Pu Pu Platter was just so-so, I would not order again, I left it half eaten. I enjoyed my Mongolian Beef, no leftovers! My husband also cleared his plate of Orange Chicken. The service and staff were very attentive and checked on us consistently throughout our meal. If you're in search of a solid Chinese spot, look no further! read more

Packed in so many people it was gross so went to counter to order . one of the severs literally pushed me out of the way didn't say anything all four of us witnessed it she is lucky I don't get an attorney how hard she pushed me !!! the main lady was on the phone and never got off to take our Togo order ... first and last time we will try it went to Publix got carry out Chinese which was probably better than this gross place. Don't put up with this place packing you in like that they just want to save money on space . It's boarder line illegal and unsafe !!!! read more

This place was great. Good food, friendly staff, clean, and I liked the decor. Their menu even has gluten free items clearly labeled which is much appreciated. Thank you! read more

Horrible experience for this dinner and maybe it was a one off however my party of 5 have expressed it will be awhile before they return or even if they return!! There was significant wait time to place our our and an even longer time to receive or dinners which where brought out 1 item at a time with 5-10 minute intervals between. My dinner was the last one to be brought to me only after realizing the server has served my dinner of Beef Broccoli to another table. So not only had my party had all their food but another table - 1 person had their food and the rest of their party had none! items ordered: Walnut Shrimp - tasted of stale Fried Shrimp with overcooked Walnuts over a bed of lettuce Bang Bang Shrimp - Dry Sauced Shrimp over a bed of lettuce Garlic Beef - Overly Sweet tasting - not sure why Broccoli Beef - Had no flavor & certainly did not "taste" of Broccoli Beef Our table was not the only table to have issues this night. I noticed one table has completed their dinner and had to wait 15 minutes to get their check and another table their dinners were missing food items. That table had another destination to get to and had not time to eat their food, since their food took as long as ours and asked for to-go containers. They didn't even wait for their check and went to the counter to pay their bill. read more

It was recommended to us as the best Chinese around. The food was very fresh and the place was super clean and very busy. It's a smallish place with maybe 12 booths and some tables in between. Takeout was super busy too. People who order takeout have to walk thru the restaurant to pick up. They probably need to figure out a better option for that. I got a big glass of Pino grigio for $6.50 and we got a pu pu platter and I ordered Sesame chicken dish which came with won ton soup and a spring roll. That was plenty for the two of us so we took the leftovers home. Would definitely go back!! read more

Something has changed. We used to go here quite often but lately they have really been off. Im not sure if they have changed staff or exactly what's up. The service is not the same because when they finally take you order they seemed really impatient. A major issue is the distancing between the tables on the right. They are so close you sliding your buttocks onto the table next to you. It really is ridiculous to be sitting so close you're almost part of the conversation next to you. Something needs to change or we(and our neighbors) won't be back. read more

The service was excellent. The decor very pleasant and clean . Good selection of food on menu - the wontons in my soup were excellent - the spring roll was mushy inside and tasteless - I had the shrimp with Lobster sauce one of my favorite dishes the shrimp were big and tasty the sauce I had never had it so thick before and it was lacking taste / fried rice was an extra charge and not worth it . My husband had happy family- no flavor - the sweet and sour spare ribs were good but very messy and extra napkins should be brought to the table when served this was a we tried experience / been there done that - no interest in going back read more

Food was good but there were 4 of us. Two got there's first. 3rd 10 mins later 4th 5 mis after that Just need to get better at timing

My first time here. Very attentive server. The food was plentiful and Delicious. I had the fried dumplings. Rated in the top ten. Then I had the walnut fried shrimp.
