    I ordered a lunch special to go, General Tso with pork fried rice and hot and sour soup. Visually the General Tso looked a little different and it tasted a little different. I didn't care for their rendition. I enjoyed the pork fried rice. I also liked the hot and sour soup. It had the right kick to it plus all the fixings in the soup were delicious. Service was quick and the restaurant smelled good when I walked in. They have about 6 tables you could eat at the restaurant.

    Generous order of crab Rangoon includes 8 big pieces for only $4.95. They weren't the greatest I've ever had (Chef Ma's holds that honor!). We had the orange chicken, also nothing to write home about. It was soggy with some not so fresh looking broccoli thrown in with it. I would rate it just average, maybe even a step below the food court at any local mall.

    Guess I'm going to have to drink my calories tonight! The takeout from here was inedible. I had high hopes from all the positive reviews. Could be that I'm used to Chinese food from the east and west coasts, not the Midwest. But I'm left hungry. The egg roll was overly battered and too large. It was filled with what I assume is pork? It looked like raw hamburger meat. Chicken and vegetables with garlic sauce was supposed to be spicy but was more sweet than spicy. It was saucy, but the veggies were all over cooked and the flavor was blah. Veggie chop suey was soggy and flavorless. The white rice that came with it was overcooked into a paste-like-consistency. Hot and sour soup was chunky and full of the right stuff. But the broth was really thick-more like an egg drop soup than hot and sour. Mild heat but no sour. Just buttery tasting (but not in a good way). I don't know if this is the standard for Chinese food in this area, but I was severely disappointed.

    Yuck yuck yuck. Had to eat here as I was late for a flight. Already have a stomach ache. Just the appearance of this place should've sent me packing. A B rating? I'm thinking C or less. Don't go here, just don't.

    Food quality is very poor. I understand it's Chinese fast food but it was not tasty and the vegetables were soggy.

Weekday visits are pretty chill but weekend dinner time gets busy, just something to plan around. Also a heads up on parking, the lot isn't very big so when it's packed it can be tough to find a spot. Would recommend carpooling if you can. I have a pretty low spice tolerance but there are still so many delicious dishes to choose from if you look around the menu. The soups are so hearty and comforting. Insider tip: the tofu egg dish is not on the menu but ask for it anyway. It is so worth it and the best way I can describe it is like eating a savory cloud puff. So unique and so good. The service is always super efficient, food comes out fast, and the staff will get you in and out. Every single dish I've had has been full of flavor and nothing has missed yet. Would absolutely come back and highly recommend.

When you walk in you are always greeted with a smile. The seating is quite close but not so close you cannot walk through. Tables and booths. Very clean and well kept.

The menu is varied with authentic or Americanized "Asian" stirfry and egg rolls. The Pho is outstanding! My goodness, the flavors of the broth, with added ingredients from chicken and beef to vegetarian. What brings it home are the side dishes of flavor bombs they serve along side: jalapeños, bean sprouts, and Thai basil. Add it to the soup and the noodles seem to envelope it all with an explosion of flavor as you slurp even to the last drop. And grab those last leaves or noodles with your chopsticks. It's worth every bite. I highly recommend Mai Lee, as it is at the top of our all-time favorites list.

It's a great place for friends or family or alone too. They to takeout as well or order delivery. The ingredient selection is really impressive and very vegetarian friendly. Everything looked fresh and they refill often. There are also lots of soup base options to choose from plus a stir fry option if you want to mix it up. The make your own sauce station is a great touch too. The staff works incredibly fast at turning tables and keeping everything clean. They only have one bathroom (it's clean) so just be aware for wait times. They also give you one free rice bowl which is a small but good bonus. There's a good amount of seating though I've heard the line goes out the door on weekends. Overall I really loved this place and I am already looking forward to coming back.

    This was my first experience at a hot pot by the pound restaurant. I've only been to all you can…read moreeat hot pot restaurants, so I was excited to try this place out. Apparently, I wasn't the only one because this place got packed by 6p on a weekday! The line was out the door. It can be a little confusing for a first time goer as you enter the place and grab a bowl to select the ingredients you want to eat. The minimum weight that you have to buy is 0.9 lbs, but you really won't know how much your bowl weighs until you get up to the cashier and put it on the scale. My bowl was underweight my first time through, so I went back to grab more ingredients. If I had to guess the minimum cost for a 0.9 lb bowl, it's probably about $16, which is a pretty good price for a hot pot. My bowl weighed about 0.97 and it was way more than I could comfortably eat. The next decision you have to make after you have selected your ingredients is the base and spicy level. I went with #1 Oil splash spicy soup at medium spice level. Now, I enjoy spicy foods, but this was at the upper limit of enjoyability. Although tasty, I think the oil in the broth got to be too much and I will want to try a different base next time. After you pay for your food, you get a number which you take to a table of your choosing and wait for your bowl to come out (they cook it for you). There is a drinking water station next to the free rice station, which was around the corner from the complimentary pickled vegetable station. Overall, positive experience and I would return for more. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

The buffet itself was clean and nicely organized, with a good selection classic Pan-Asian cuisine. All of the food seemed fresh and was replenished regularly during the 90 minutes our party of four dined and talked over dinner. The sushi, seafood salad, and other cold items were very cold, and the hot items were steaming hot, all with good flavors. The crab Rangoon was mild and slightly sweet, and the broccoli beef was well prepared with mild spicing. There was a small array of dessert items, including very tasty melon and a few cakes and ice cream. Service was good and everyone seemed to be friendly. With regard to those reviews stating that staff was unfriendly, we certainly did not notice rudeness, but we did encounter two persons tending the buffet who seemed unable to understand English...so they weren't going to be able to manage a "friendly" conversation. The servers were fluent in English, and very nice! Overall, this is a moderately priced Chinese buffet, not a Five Star steak house, but it was clean and the food was plentiful and tasty. We liked this restaurant, and we will be back!
