On multiple occasions, I have watched the chefs carefully prepare meals while diligently sanitizing their workspaces after each dish, ensuring a high standard of hygiene is consistently upheld. The menu offers an extensive and diverse selection, which I greatly appreciate. While I have several favorite dishes, I am continually encouraged to explore new options thanks to the wide variety available. The restaurant caters to a broad range of tastes, featuring not only American-style Chinese cuisine but also a rich selection of authentic Chinese, Korean, and Japanese dishes, along with a few American offerings. The staff is courteous and attentive, providing excellent service with every visit. The food is always served hot, flavorful, and in generous portions. There is often so much so that it is difficult to finish a meal in a single sitting. I confidently recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a high-quality experience, and it has even earned the approval of our native Chinese friends, which speaks volumes about its authenticity and overall excellence.

I was had someone come to my table to take my order and bring my food but no one came by again after I got the food, so I went to the register to pay. Maybe a bit of a language barrier with the staff. I asked for jelly in my drink and got tapioca boba instead and generally felt like they didn't really understand what I was saying. I got a tofu rice bowl with miso sauce and a green milk tea with boba. The rice bowl was the perfect size for one meal, and there was a lot of tofu which made it filling. It was simple, with just the protein and sauce over steamed greens and rice, and I felt like it was pretty healthy. It didn't blow me away but it was good! The green milk tea was also good, strong but not too sweet. Some versions of the menu call it matcha but it very much tasted like green tea, not matcha. I think it was from a powder mix but that's fine. Reasonable prices. If I remember correctly, the rice bowl was about $13 and the boba was about $6 including the topping. I liked the food and would definitely eat here again.

Unfortunately this place does not deliver to my location but when me and my friends would have girls night and watch movies and have cocktails, my friend highly preferred this place and I love it as well!! My favorite dish here is the sweet and sour chicken but I ask for a dish of extra spicy sauce and I fuse it into the sauce. The breeding on their sweet and sour chicken is the best and never burnt or too thick! I like the green bean sauce here better than other places I've had as w read more

I'm not sure why this place is so lowly rated! They are one of the only Chinese place in Bloomington offering gluten free options, and whenever I'm craving Chinese I know I can go to them.

On the other hand, their boneless duck is excellent, I always enjoy getting it when here. Keep in mind this place only accepts cash if you order here in person, but they do accept card if you order through their online ordering service. Service is nothing to be excited over. The staff get the job done but that's about it. Cleanliness could be better especially in the washrooms. Some of the dishes taste good overall, but I find a lot of their food to be pretty greasy. Not terrible by any means, but definitely inconsistent. Good for a quick, casual Chinese takeout option, but manage your expectations depending on what you order.
