The staple/paperclip we found in the Roast Pork Fried Rice

There was a staple or part of a paperclip in the pork rice. Very disappointing seeing how we eat here frequently on weekends.

a tray of food and a remote control

Thought id try another chinese food restaurant. Food was ok but ive had better. One thing that makes me go hmmm was the firtune cookie. Was the stalest ive ever had. Makes ya wonder what other foods thet dont pay attention to.

Pretty good Chinese takeout at reasonable prices. Located at the Canal St/Lowell St intersection, this "small hole" has a takeout counter and a few tables & chairs (for up to 20 people) for dining in. The TV on the counter shows Chinese programming. They offer Luncheon Specials (11:30AM-3:00PM), All Day Combination Platters, and the Appetizer Box (choice of one appetizer with pork fried rice & fries) for $4.29. I occasionally grab some takeout from here since it's on the way to the Taylor Falls Bridge crossing. The food here is hot and tasty. My favorites are the Pork Lo Mein, Shanghai Pan Fried Noodles, and the Crispy Shrimp with Walnuts. The place can get pretty busy with lots of call in/pickup and delivery orders, a high turnover scene. The parking lot is very tight and can be packed at times. I can get my food in about 15 minutes after placing the order. Overall, 3.5 stars. HOURS: Mon-Thurs (11AM-10PM), Fri-Sat (11AM-11PM), Sun (12PM-10PM)

This place is such an amazing spot to have in Lowell. Parking is street parking, and you can pay at…read morethe kiosk or through the Passport app. It really depends on when you go since parking can get a little tricky. Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

This place has the best dumplings in the area, their mala stir fry is amazing. A group of friends…read moreand I are almost regulars here. But today's experience was sub par to what we are used to. I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.
