Worst service i have EVER seen! i took my daughter to this restaurant to try something new, and while the food i guess we can call it "acceptable" nothing great. some of witch was not edible...but what i witnessed to a table next to me was UNBELIEVABLE! ... a man at a table of four next to our table began choking on his food, me along with alot of other customers turned our attention towards the man and witnessed a whole series of events that i could not believe.. as the man was choking the waiter approached thier table and started pouring water for this guy and attempted to hand the man his water, (the guy was gaskping for air and turning color) the waiter then set the water on the table and another guy at that table asked the waiter if he knew the heimlich maneuver, the waiter turned and said no i dont, and to my astonishment, "i dont care!" and walked off... the man who asked the waiter if he knew the maneuver began doing the heimlich and cleared the other mans throat. The guy was bothered at this point as i would have been too, and asked to speak with the waiter to ask him what that was about ect. he asked the waiter if anyone in this restaurant knew the heimlich and that they should. the waiter immediately got defensive and turned his back to say "i dont care" AGAIN! now the man at the table said "then i dont care to pay" (who would with this service?)....as soon as that was said the waiter went into a rage, yellin "no no, you pay, then you leave".. now almost the whole restaurant is watching this waiter go nuts! and called over to some other girl waitress and both of them came yelling at them, yelling " YOU PAY, YOU PAY THEN YOU GO" the man calmly tried to address the problem that he simply wanted to know why he got the response he did when he asked if the waiter knew the haimlich, well needless to say, it got nowherem they just kept yelling.. This is where i stepped in and told them i witnessed the whole thing and the man was clearly choking and simply put, the waiter said he did not care; i now was being yelled at and was told to leave, we hadnt even got most of our food yet! we made our way to the door and still the two employees , (which one was the manager), were still screaming at that family, now other customers were coming up to the desk and expressing their concerns of how they conducted business and they too would be yelled at! at this point i was getting in my vehicle and what looked like the entire restaurant, was leaving and could here people ranting about how their never coming back! in short i can not put all what happened in this rating, but this outing was an outrage and the worst experience i have EVER had at a restaurant and i highly reccomend not eating at this place for if you have an emergency happen "THEY DONT CARE" and will kick everyone out if you disagree with them! bad bad bad bad bad, thats all i have to say...i read all these good reviews below and yeah, maybe they do have some good traits everyonce and awhile but that tops it all! BAD FOOD, BAD SERVICE, BAD MANAGMENT, BAD BUSINESS! AND UNSAFE! oh and terrible food!!! thanks...

Waiter / manager watches customer choke on rice while pouring water and walks away with customer turning blue. I called out to him as he kept looking back while still walking away. I jumped and gave himlick and cleared the rice. Requested manager for reasons he observed the chocking and ignored. He stated he didnt care. Alarmed then we dont care to pay. Manager yelled and yelled. He told us that no one here knows himlick. So again, Now twice he stated he didnt care, just pay, and get out. So a customer chokes in front of manager who then walks away yelling at customer and forced to emediately leave an pay while still catching breath. And kicked out. Terrible restaurant. Terrible terrible manager. what a sight.

Ive been going to this place since my grandpa took me there as a kid. Im now a mom with 2 kids, and I still love the place. They deliver, offer carry-out, and dine in. The food is ready scary fast, the service is prompt, the food is yummy and the prices are very good for large families. Be aware that if you call in a phone order, they will be VERY FAST with you, not rude just very quick. Dont let it put you off, they have a magic 8 ball or something that tells them that its your order as you walk in the door no matter how many orders they have waiting. I dont know how they do it. <3 Yin Yins <3 You dont have to wear a tie, jeans and a t-shirt is just fine.

Ive been eating here for a few years and overall it has been good with both in-restaurant and delivery service. Food is handled properly and personally 9/10 times the food was exactly what I expected/ordered. However, I came on here just to put "KEN FOSTER" on blast. What the hell is a himlick? I heard of heimlich but it is what it is. If youre choking on food without bones then you need to chew better my friend. Theres always tomorrow, no need to sacrifice yourself and perish because no one in the world knows what a himlick is! God Bless ALL and Merry Christmas hahahaahahahaahahaha

I am really pissed off that I waisted 20$ on this food. The crab Rangoon/wonton had horrible cheese and what tasted like imitation crab, and the chicken was pretty much cartilage and very little meat. And the shrimp in my egg rolls werent fully Cooked. I reccomend not going there and waistline ur money when there are plenty of other good restaurants in town

Sorry - but the food sucks. Ive still got leftover Chinese food from them in my fridge on Monday morning after delivery Saturday afternoon. That is simply unheard of in this house. Very bland - no flavor. Ive seen a number of great reviews for this place and was very disappointed with what I got. What a shame.

We had the lunch specials, the black pepper beef and the sesame chicken. Both came with generous portions for the $5.95 price, but the black pepper beef was completely tasteless and the sesame chicken didnt seem like chicken or any other meat we were familiar with. We wont eat here again.

This has been our go-to Chinese restaurant for over a decade. Theyve got the standard Chinese dishes down to a science, and the non-standard dishes (like the orange beef - no, really) are all worth a shot.

My son got sick. He was throwing up all night. They never brought our white rice. Then packed it up to go at the end. I felt sick the next day. The food tasted okay but the restaurant needs cleaning.
