My coworkers regularly order take out from here. It's been about 6 years since I've had any Chinese food, so I thought I would go over for lunch. I found the restaurant to be very clean and somewhat modern inside. The staff were extremely friendly. I ordered the garlic chicken lunch special which was only $10.95. I added an egg roll which I really didn't need but wanted to try anyway. For the lunch special I ordered the hot and sour soup which came almost immediately. It was good, your standard soup. My egg roll came next and same, standard. Finally the main dish of garlic chicken and fried rice same. It was good. The sauce was a little more syrupy than I expected. There was almost no spice either. The other places that I usually get it from the sauce is not so thick. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. I would definitely return.
We came here tonight for dinner. The dining room is very nice with tasteful Chinese decor, and the waitress was great. We got potstickers as an appetizer and milky coconut puffs for dessert. Those were great and something we have never had before. My wife got sushi which she said was very good. I got cashew chicken. It was different than any I've had before. It had a subtle taste that I liked, but I couldn't place it. The only thing I didn't care for was the abundance of celery. Over all we had a very enjoyable, calm, and satisfying dinner.
we hadn't been here in some time, so the idea of going made us both happy! they are always busy. dining in & take out. good for them, but bad for us cuz you usually have to wait. we ask for a booth & are seated all the way in the back by the hibachi tables. cool, some privacy away from the crowd. we look over the menus-the regular & the wine. we order a bottle of ravenswood zinfandel. it's an older bottle & delicious! i'm ready to check out the menu now! 'cept it's just regular food?! we thought they had sushi, but didn't see it. it's why we came! for sushi! bummed by our discovery, we order. he got the shanghai spring roll & the gourmet duck tenders. it's new on the menu, & tom was feeling ducky. i got the fresh vietnamese spring roll & the hunan shrimp. hold the white rice. we split a shrimp fried rice. right after we ordered, the couple sitting behind us got a plate of sushi! ah, you need to ask for the sushi menu! damn it! the spring rolls were perfectly made. delicate. we wolfed them done like animals! hey! we were hungry! hadn't eaten all day! our meals took a little while. but SO worth the wait! tom said his duck was indeed tender. my shrimp popped when you ate them! mmmm, mmmm! both plates were filled with veggies as well. we can usually finish our meals, but not tonight! we got our "doggie bag"! & it was enough for dinner the next night! you're probably going to wait a bit, but the food is worth it!
Was really excited to check this place out based on reviews. I ordered takeout - General Tsos Chicken, Shrimp Lo Mein, and Crab Rangoons. The chicken and lo mein quality was excellent - also appreciated the size of the food included for the cost. I was disappointed in the amount of filler inside the crab rangoon's but they were also tasty! I'd like to try the sushi next time. Would like to eat there again - just didn't blow it out of the water for me.
This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. The food was excellent. Service was great on a busy New Year's Eve. We had a party of 8 and reserved a nice table in the back which made for a nice setting. Staff was super friendly and engaging. Will definitely go back.
