I came here today and was told there's been another change most recently 2 months ago. This by far his has been the most pleasant visit. The food was fresh and the dumpling wrapper was thin. The soup dumplings were filled with soup and the pot stickers were pan fried to perfection. They've also added more dish options to the menu as well. They've updated their indoor decor and it's nice and clean. Highly recommend this place and will be back very soon!

I always preferred this spot for soup dumplings. And that's what we had today. Both my husband and I each ordered the Xiao Long Bao (8pc) along with a side of Bok Choy with Garlic. Gotta get in our greens! (I really wanted the Spinach with garlic but was told they sold out yesterday.) Everything was delicious. We even ordered one more Xiao Long Bao! What I really liked about the dumplings was that the exterior did not break when grabbed with chopsticks. Pliable. Soup stayed in the dumpling until I pierced it. (At Joyee, many times dumplings stick to the paper and rips. Soup spills out. The dough can be a little chewy.) We also had tea with our meal. My husband with the Taro Milk Tea with Boba and me with the Tropica Fruit Tea. My tea was quite refreshing. I forget everything that's in it but there's jasmine tea with a mix of fruit tea, a mint leaf, and pieces of fruit - strawberry, blueberry, pineapple. My husband enjoyed his drink too. Boba was nice and chewy. Dumplings were being made as we were leaving. Who doesn't love freshly made dumplings?! Almost forgot to mention that the service was great. The employee was very friendly and helpful. Stop by and support this small business!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the food from this place!!!…read more "Curry Fried Rice" is a must try item!!!!

Definitely a favorite place for me and my friends! Restaurant is small and unassuming, more like a "to go" sorta kinda restaurant...if ur on a budget, this is a great place to order "to go", food will not disappoint!!

Consistently THE BEST in Chinese food and crab boil!!!…read more My daughter said it's her new favorite place! It's family owned and ran, you will feel so welcomed and at home here. If you are in a rush or not social, no worries, she makes food homemade AND fast for you and won't bother you. No worries. If you are social, say hello, she will become a beloved neighbor and you will feel welcomed and cared for. The food is top notch! Quality. She will let you know if it's freshness and is very transparent. One time she ran out of fresh corn and let me know before I ordered. And offered me other ideas. I'm completely fine with frozen corn, I like corn with my crab boil, but how nice and honest of her to tell me! It was all so delicious and my daughter gets the potstickers and they are pan fried, such a perfect crunch to them! And beef chow mein. My daughter and I share it and still have leftovers. Sesame balls are my favorite and makes them perfectly. She has plenty of drink choices too. Go now and enjoy. Except Mondays. She deep cleans the entire restaurant. She needs a rest day and deserves it. I hope she gets one.

They even give my kids lollipops, which is such a thoughtful touch. * Kid-approved dishes: My (picky) kiddo always orders egg fried rice at Vietnamese restaurants, and this is hands-down his favorite version. * Consistently good food: The vermicelli bowls always hit the spot, and the egg rolls are fresh with reliable quality every visit. * Crispy pork spring rolls: Super tasty, generously filled, and perfect for sharing. The peanut sauce that comes with them is especially delicious. Overall - great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this place stand out. We'll keep coming back!

This place pulled through for us for our New Year's Eve dinner. We never heard of them till we did…read morea search here on yelp for some Asian fusion type/style food. The usual places that we'd get our new year Chinese dinners from all had shut down their businesses. We called this business and the guy graciously took our to-go order. But first we had to keep calling like their voicemail said to do. We got two soups the wonton and the egg/flour one. One thing we noticed on their menu is they lack the description of what meat they use in the wonton soup. Assuming it was pork we ordered it anyway. I'd personally prefer it to be veggies or chicken inside. Or to have an option. Though I absolutely love the broth it comes with! The egg drop was great for me too as it had just the right amount of flavoring. I really do enjoy a good orange chicken (rice is at an additional cost when ordering it) so we put in an order for their orange peel chicken. The pieces came small and a little bit too done. I attribute this to it being a busier night than perhaps their usual and maybe because it was only a couple to a few people working. So I'd be willing to try it again. When ordering we specified please no sesame seeds. He assured us that this dish doesn't have it. You see we're beginning to see and experience sesame seed trending on so many dishes elsewhere else even when it's not advertised. So I'm very happy it's automatically not on theirs. You can see in my picture the size of the chicken I got. I had it in a small Japanese soup/salad bowl for reference. I'd order from them again and perhaps dine in their nice & casual establishment for a different experience. Happy 2026!

THE BEST. Truly. I love this place. Mindy is wonderful! She's so kind, and every time I see her, she asks about the kids. She's very family-oriented and always does an excellent job. The food is fantastic. Our favorites are mongolian beef, sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken, house special chow mein/lo mein, and garlic chicken. I personally love the egg flower soup! I think it's one of the best I've ever had. It always hits the spot, because it reminds me of a restaurant I used to go to as a kid but that place closed down decades ago. Every time we order take-out, we always get a nice lil surprise of my favorite cream cheese wontons or sometimes we get pot stickers too! On the house!!! They're fantastic, the food is great, and we will continue to support them! Also, not to forget their salt and pepper chicken wings...We ordered a full tray for a party...They were a HIT!!!!

My boyfriend was feeling under the weather Friday afternoon and I knew that a bowl of hot & sour…read moresoup would do the trick! Unfortunately, our old go to spot a block from us had closed down but in its place... was now Golden Dragon. We didn't even realize it wasnt the same Chinese restaurant, but when finding out, decided to give them a try! I ordered for pickup around 5:00pm on Door Dash. They had pictures showing for many items, but I noticed that many pictures were incorrectly linked to different dishes. This seems like an error on Door Dash's part, and we decided to stick to our first picks. I got the hot and sour soup for him, and ordered the following for the group: -sesame balls -spicy beef -Orange chicken -house fried rice I purposely sheduled the order to be picked up at 5:45pm since we needed to stop somewhere along the way, but saw they had started making it immediately. This was a little concerning because I knew our food would be sitting there a little too long before picking up. We ended up having to rush, and arrived at the restaurant at 5:30pm. This was the first time since the restaurant changed ownership that we have entered. Aside from it being very empty, it felt empty as well. Very wide open area with a lot of void space. I didnt see any decor and they definitely didnt have the walk up food ordering option like the previous place did. It looks like they only take orders now rather than that Panda Express style feel. When entering I noticed one person sitting on a chair on their phone. He quickly got up and I let him know I was picking up for 'Katrina', he grabbed the bag that had been sitting on the table in front of him and handed it to me. We said thank you and left. We got home rather quickly and started opening all the containers. Right off the bat I noticed the fried rice was extremely dark in color. This may be normal, and it didnt taste bad but I have never seen fried rice that dark brown before. The orange chicken had a good sauce taste, but since it had been sitting in the container for some time, it was extremely soggy. The spicy beef is something I woukd never order again. It in no way was spicy, and just tasted like white pepper with beef. There was a specific taste and smell to it, and I couldnt put my finger on what it was from. All I know is it wasnt a fan favorite of ours. The hot and sour soup was not like the previous location's, and we were so sad about it. It was good though, and was similar to other Chinese restaurant recipes. Each entree comes with a small container of white steamed rice, and that was cooked well. We were excited to finish off with a sesame ball, but they were also mushy, and I could barely taste the red bean paste inside. I dont want to rule this spot out as a "no-go", and im thinking maybe variables were just off paired with trying something for the first time. Im willing to give this spot a try one more time and maybe order directly from them in person so I know I can grab the bag as soon as its done.
