We went to eat on Christmas this year at 6 (not even late at night or clearly during any kind of rush) and were largely disappointed. We ordered 6 crab Rangoon and one was just a friend wanton with nothing at all inside it. When we got our plates, the chicken tasted over cooked and hard, and some of our vegetables were still cold as if frozen, and bland. To top it off, we waited about ten minutes for a check when there were maybe four tables seated with people in the entire restaraunt. Needless to say, we will not be going back. Id go to a Chinese buffet and pay the same any day, with better service and better food in quantity.

Love this place! Will eat again here! The owner was very funny and welcoming. The service was very quick and fast the fastest Ive ever seen. Was here practically in 5 minutes after we ordered. My friend and I spoke a little Chinese and I think that made the owners night! Its a shame seeing so many 1 stars to this place. The owner would come off rude to a lot people but in all honesty, he is just blunt and straight to the point. I think those one star reviews came from people who were rude themselves and then became belligerent with the owner. This is honestly, one of the best authentic Chinese places around.

weve tried many meals on numerous occasions... we really only like the eggplant dish and the sesame tofu dish--which are absolutely excellent. the rest of the menu seems to be just average and, overwhelmingly, fried (the sesame dish is fried, by the way). it tends to be cool in the restaurant, so bring long sleeves. by far, the best chinese food in the area. If you speak chinese or are with someone who does, request the chinese menu--the chinese tofu and pork and chinese hot pot are wonderful (the american menu is just ok and mainly fried--as mentioned). one dish will serve two!

My walnut shrimp was pretty good, the kids fried rice was average. Certainly not worth the $45, though I didnt examine the prices on the menu when we ordered I feel I was overcharged for 3 people. The waiter, owner, just scribbled out the receipt. Ive been to Chinatown in various cities and spent way less for the family. My spoon was sticky and I didnt use it at all and just drank my egg drop soup from the bowl. The Crab Rangoon was cream cheese though Im not sure there was any crab in it at all.

This was the best Chinese restaurant we have eaten at. The food was spectacular and the service was quick and friendly. They were very attentive. The prices were very reasonable and they had a very large selection on the menu. The whole restaurant was super clean. All of the food we tried was amazing and they definitely have the best crab rangoons ever. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. :)

I have eaten here at least 60 times. My favorite dishes are the Crab Rangoon, rice soup, cashew chicken and the beef and broccoli. Always fresh and fast. The owner may seem a little rude sometimes, but Ive seen his softer side. He runs his restaurant smoothly and efficiently with little help. In my opinion this is the best Chinese place in the area.

I absolutely love this place. The service is awesome. I go here once or twice a week usually. Every time the gentleman knows exactly what I want. Of course he double checks with me first. The lunch price is really great and affordable. Most of all the food is delicious. P.s I recommend the hot and sour soup

Okay food, use to be better but hasnt been the same in the past couple of years. Taste like most of the other Chinese restaurants. The guy that is the server that usually works there yells when taking your order or when saying anything else. Kind of rude and is one of the reasons I do not care to come back.

Took an hour to get the food, it was still cold and somewhat raw and did not taste good at all. We ended up throwing our leftovers into the trash on the way out the door. Horrible experience and will never go back.

Great food, excellent service. Waitstaff is quick and relatively courteous, but can be a bit difficult to understand as English is not their first language. Was nearly empty on a Thursday afternoon.

The food was okay. I tried eight treasure chicken and the fish had a funny taste, other than that I liked the dish I ordered. The decorations were very nice and the staff was friendly.

Having eaten Chinese food all over the world, I put this restaurant at the top. You will not find a better authentic Chinese restaurant around.
