Ive been here five times and every time its awesome! The service has always been fast and friendly. If you ask for something, they get it to you quick. They answers questions throughly and are very accommodating. I have never waited to be seated. This is a great place for dates or groups, there are plenty of large tables. Parking is readily available, its in a small strip mall. I had their peking duck and it is so delicious. I love that the duck, it is juicy and the skin is crispy. The duck comes with some delicious buns to wrap the duck in with green onions, cucumbers and sauce. This is my favorite dish here! Everyone needs to try it! A whole duck can feed 3-4 people, depending on how hungry everyone is. Ive also had their duck soup with egg noodles and that was pretty good. Their crab rangoons are nothing special, they are like every other place. The salty fish and fried tofu is super tasty. The salty fish fried rice is also good. The BBQ pork is delicious! Highly recommend the duck here!

When my husband and I decided to try this place we walked in and wanted to order take-out. The menu is amazing and there are items in it that do not have an English translation. At the time, a manager (maybe the owner?) was sitting at one of the tables and he had obviously been drinking heavily. After we placed our order and paid for our food he began to yell at us in his language. We dont know what he said exactly, but the message was clear due to his body language and gestures. He wanted us to leave before we received our food. My husband told him that we would leave as soon as we had the food that we paid for. It was clear to us that he didnt want us in his restaurant due to our race. I do not recommend eating here.

Had dinner there last night (on a Friday). It was super busy but the people working there did all they could to cater to each persons needs. With only 3 people working the floor and a very sweet lady that brought out our food from the kitchen, I was so pleased. The food was absolutely delicious and had a healthy taste to it. I will happily be back to this place which is now one of my favorite dinner spots! A kind heads up that on Fridays you may have to wait for a while because its super busy, but be patient....the food (to me) is worth wait.

My family and I like Chinese food a lot, and lately weve been complaining that we havent been able to find a good Chinese place since we move to Jacksonville a year ago. PROBLEM SOLVED!! This place is amazingly good! Today we had the wonton soup and pork steam dumplings to start, and then finished off a curry steak, chicken fried rice and moo goo gai pan. All the sauces and vegetables were perfect, good portions of protein on each dish and the service was outstanding. All the food was $47 with sodas for 3. Best Chinese place in Jax!

Ordered food for lunch and I get to work and its missing the rice so I basically ate chiken tenders for lunch. It took 20 min. Out of my lunch to go get it and I wasnt going to drive back for rice. The manager was pretty snobby acting like I just wanted a free meal while I was buying more food from them the week later and she wasnt willing to own up to the mistake. Offered me a free spring roll. Long story short, not worthy of my hard worked money.

I will give this two stars only because it was the best rice I ever ate and I will be going back for rice. However, with that being said rice was the only good thing and you cannot make a meal from rice. The duck is very Gamey and not good to eat (imagine accidentally forgetting to take the gizzards and liver out of a chicken). I will take the rice and combine it with Mr. Dragons extra saucy house Lo mein on San Juan Ave for a good meal!

The food is really good, the portions are large, and the prices are very reasonable. The service can be a little slow at times but they are always very nice, friendly, and helpful. This place is the only Chinese place in Jacksonville that hits the sweet spot between cheap (and usually not very good) Chinese takeout places and higher end places like PF Changs that Ive found so far.

Very nice inside, steamed dumplings are fantastic. I ordered the sesame chicken, one of my most like dishes and its probably the best sesame chicken Ive ever had. My husband got the curry and it wasnt spicy enough for him, so for those who cant handle spicy it might be okay to eat. Overall great place, its one of our new favorite local restaurant.

Three different visits in the last month! Each time my husband and I try something new and each time it is absolutely fantastic. Brought our friends in this last time and they felt the exact same way. The waiter is always on top of things and we are always in and out within an hour. Extremely pleased with this restaurant!

The food is good, had the salt and pepper fish with tofu: very well prepared. The tofu was crispy on the outside, and very well textured on the inside. The fish was tilapia, fried very well. They use a very fine salt, which pushes a good meal into greatness. Lots of selection with the American standards as well.

Service is a little slow at first, but the food is so good that the wait doesnt bother me. Its all family style meals and we always order big because we just have to have EVERYTHING. I havent had one thing that I didnt like. My goal is to try every single item on their menu. My fave is the peking duck. Omg!!

Huge menu (almost too extensive) and several specials available daily. Love the Peking duck and whole fish specials. Egg rolls are very good. A couple of the typical entrees (beef and broccoli) were just okay and the soups are good but not Pho good. Very clean restaurant and attentive service staff.

Visited at off peak hour, there was a private party in a side room and us. At first impression, staff seemed rude and displeased we showed up. However, food was great and the waiter warmed up and turned out to have a charming sense of quiet humor. I would return for the food for sure.

Beef was unbelievably rubbery, to the point of being inedible. I tried to push past the gag reflex, but I couldnt bring myself to swallow a single bite. Literally everything else was fine, but not great. Waiter was very understanding and didnt charge us for the meal.

Best Chinese /Asian food in Jacksonville. Delicate wontons (instead of the shoe leather wontons were used to getting here in Jacksonville) stuffed with shrimp and pork. Have it with Roast duck and extra wontons! Also recommend the squid in black bean sauce.

I was searching for authentic chinese place to eat and this place pop up. I was reading the reviews and hopeful but sad to say food is just typical Americanized Chinese food nothing special. Food was bland. Closes authentic chinese is orlando. Hope this helps

Get the peking duck. You wont be disappointed. The peony sampler is nice to start with also, it gives you a nice variety of appetizers. Ive also tried the generals chicken, some kind of soup, garlic eggplant and a few other items. Everything is very good.
