I have never posted a review on Google, until today. It is impossible to get decent asian food within a 15 mile radius of North Branch. The Asian restaurants up here are atrocious, so I often look further south. When I found this place on Google with 24 reviews, all with 5 stars, I thought I had found the diamond in the rough. Nope... Clearly any review less than 5 stars doesnt make it here, because this is no better than what is up here if not worse. First I will say that the service was prompt. 10 minutes to make the food and with no one at the restaurant, I was in and out quickly. Prices were also decent and portions were good. The problem is the quality of the food is seriously lacking. I dont care how prompt service is and how generous portions are if the food is not desirable. The sesame chicken has to be the worst I have ever had.. period. It was overly sticky-sweet with no real flavor. 1/5 stars. The chicken chow mein had decent pieces of chicken, but was over cooked and was just plain bland. I guess the upside to that is it wasnt doused in soy sauce and taste like a salt lick like other asian restaurants in the area. 2/5 stars. My wife had the chicken pho and said it was pretty bland. I have never had pho before, but thought the broth was ok. The big problem was the chicken was undercooked, which is unacceptable! She rated it 2/5 stars, but with undercooked chicken I dont even know what to say. Overall, I will never eat here again, which is too bad being that I like to support small businesses. I really had hoped that this was going to be my go to asian restaurant. I am very skeptical about the perfect 5 star ratings from all 24 reviews before my review and felt obligated to post a review. Maybe the restaurant was having a bad day, but I doubt it.

In this instance, it looks like the third time IS indeed the charm. The food from the previous two owners was in my opinion flavorless and lifeless, and it is this impression that the new owners had to overcome. As I sit here noshing on my huge order of sesame chicken, I have to say they have overcome it marvelously in my eyes. The food is delicious, comes in very large portions and the service is friendly. They offer gluten free options for those sensitive to such, have a variety of dishes that I dont normally see around here, and offered to tame down or spice up dishes if I ask when I order. I honestly couldnt ask for anything more. It is definitely worth a try, even if you were disappointed by the previous owners. Im glad I gave them the chance.

We used to love this place and I hadnt been there in a year so was in for a big surprise when I stopped tonight for takeout! I guess they changed owners a year ago (?). Ordered veggie egg fu young and didnt get what I get at other restaurants: the veggies cooked inside with a side of gravy. I got puffed egg patties with veggies on top :-( there wasnt enough sauce to even dip the dry patty into and it lacked any real flavor. Disappointing..plus the cost was ridiculous! The chicken pineapple was "ok" but the fried rice was tasteless. Lesson learned: I need to stick with whats good in North Branch! Save your $$$$$

This place is GREAT. Friendly Staff and the cook definitely knows what hes doing. The food is awesome and the best cream cheese wontons Ive ever had (not too mushy and not hard as a rock). The Prices are maybe $1 above average but you are definitely getting your moneys worth. If youre ever on 35E, turn off at Centerville and check this place out.

I thought the food here was very good. I got one of their lunch specials (pepper steak). I thought it was great. I also had a egg roll that was very good. They also serve the egg roll with the Vietnamese dipping sauce which I much prefer over sweet & sour sauce. Ill be back again for sure.

We moved to Forest lake last summer and werent impressed with the options for Asian food. Found this place online and can now say it will be the only place we go for Asian take out! The orange chicken was fantastic! Everything tastes great. Its worth the drive for us!

This is a great place to grab some local Chinese food! If you have not been here this is a must try! Great prices for lunch and dinner. They will really give you a whopping plate of food so definitely come hungry, or save some for left overs tomorrow!

Pretty good hole on the wall. The egg rolls are over the top good,like the best Ive had anywhere. The rest of the food is pretty good maybe a could use a bit more meat. They are always very friendly and super fast.

We used to go here on the regular. As of about a month ago different people are running the place. Food quality has gone down. Service has tanked. Too bad it used to be 5 stars!

I didnt expect much based on storefront, was VERY happily surprised. House spec egg rolls were huge and delicious and the hot and spicy chicken was very good.
