I actually really really like this place! I had lived in the area most of my life, and had meant to try it since I had noticed it, though I didn't place it high on my list because the yelp reviews are just so so. but I recently moved back to UT after having been out of state for several years, I swung by this place to grab some takeout one night in a rush, and I couldn't have been happier with it!
I want to point out that really I think they deserve more of a 4 star review, but I wanted to give them some love to try and boost their stats a bit :)
The place is actually really nice inside for a strip mall joint, and even has these little romantic side rooms for even better atmosphere.
The staff was all very nice, and it was extremely clean and well organized throughout all I could see.
The prices are a tad high in comparison to other strip mall places, but they also LOAD you up with food. The entrées are very generous, plus they give you a salad and choice of white, brown, or fried rice.
We got the crispy beef which was just delicious! The pon pon chicken, which was also quite good, and the chicken lomein, which was good but not awesome, the chicken though was quite tasty, the noodles were just a but more mushy than I like.
The weakest link at this place (at least what we tried) was the ham fried rice. It's not bad, it's just not good, it's a bit flavorless and dry and lacking in any other ingredients like some onion or veggies to liven and flavor it up.
All in all this may have jumped to the top of my favorite quick easy Chinese place. The food was good and didn't leave you with that heavy sort of sick feeling you often get from Chinese, the ingredients were all fresh and high quality, and the preparation and sauces were delicious.
I would recommend this place, and hope more people jump on and review it, because I know lots of people love it, but they just haven't taken the time to give them a good review.
I will say that I can't speak to the sushi aspect of the restaurant which appears to be where more of the negative reviews are coming from, but I'm sort of a sushi snob so I likely won't try it, I try to avoid sushi in land locked states in general. But I also don't like it when Chinese places throw sushi on the menu, I think they should stick to one nationality of cuisine, though I will say that all of the pictures of sushi they have up and on the menu do look quite good and seem to be well prepared. read more
