Can not believe this... - I had been there before, the food was decent, so maybe that qualifies as 1 star. Today, Tuesday night 08/16/2016 went there around 7:15pm planning to have dinner there. Did not see anybody there to sit me, waited for a few minutes, then a lady I saw earlier came ask "one person?" after confirming, she tries to lead me to a seat, at this time, I realized that she was the lady who saw me coming in and saw me waiting the whole time, but chose not to do anything about it. I said, "sorry, you know what, I am going to skip today, I have been standing here waiting for how many minutes? and nobody came...." - And can you imagine what she said? "2 minutes, cause I was standing there and I saw you coming in..." I am out of words... I am not sure she realized that she was admitting that she was KNOWINGLY IGNORING me as a guest. I am not sure I could find other statements from a restaurant staff more straight to mean "you are not welcome here" But anyway, I believe she is the manager tonight - I have met the owner an Asian lady before, and she was decent - but before they change this manager - I am not going there anymore. -Not worth the insult.. Also, BTW, her watch seems to be off quite a bit. - I waited there for some minutes and the decided to take out my phone and bring up pokemon games - and I caught 2 pokemons before she came! - that usually would take me 5 minutes! - And for pokemon players - not worth going there to catch them either - just simple types like tweedles rattata that you can find anywhere!

This place has really, really good food. The sushi rolls/maki are creative and super fresh. My personal favorite is the Osaka Salad, which is a combination of super fresh sashimi, avocado, something crunchy and some spicy sauce. Might be the best thing on earth to eat. :) Other things that are especially good here: Beef with celery is spicy and awesome. Ma-po tofu. Spicy lamb. Chicken gizzards (I know! I was skeptical, but theyre super.) Avocado-Kani (crab) salad. They make the best hot and sour soup Ive ever had. Also, definitely check out the "traditional" menu, which has more exotic fare than one might expect to find. The decor is peaceful and nice - shades of coffee and cream, with fish tanks and soft music. A nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Excellent, excellent meal. The sesame chicken is light yet perfectly crunchy, the hot and sour soup is just spicy and flavorful enough, and the Tofu is succulent. Havent found anything I didnt like yet, though I did feel like the Crazy Maki couldve been better. Tried another Maki on a second visit... I forget the name... started with a P I think, but it was quite good. Drinks are expensive, might be worth going easy on them. Its a bit pricey too, with a $90 bill for three people and about five or six dishes. Not too bad for the stellar quality, though. I should point out that the drinks were over 30 dollars of that bill, so watch those. One of my favorite places to go out, hands down. Perhaps THE favorite.

We needed an extra plate for our dinner and we watched the waitress grab it off of the dirty table next to us... The tea tree mushroom hot pot was burnt (the reason why we needed an extra plate) ! When we expressed our dislike we were told it was "authentic Chinese". My chicken was full of ligaments and tendons, when I expressed my dislike with this we were once again told it was traditional. After speaking with the manager we were offered 20% off for our uneaten, burnt "food". I would like to note that the staff is extremely cordial and welcoming. I was a regular for about 3 months but after this debacle and my last experience there, I will no longer be eating there.

Food was absolutely mediocre. Sushi menu is extremely limited and the fish was far from being fresh. The waiter spilled some of the sushi and replaced it with an old piece of tuna. The Chinese food, however, was decently authentic enough (which is unsurprising because the staff is all Chinese). We tried the Mapo Tofu and some veggies. Besides the veggies being overly seasoned, the Mapo tofu was not bad. Overall, with the dark dreary atmosphere here, I do not recommend this place unless you want to try Chinese food.

I just stopped in for lunch. Lunch prices were very affordable... I asked if I could substitute the california roll for a tuna roll as part of the chicken teriyaki lunch special - I said Id be willing to pay more. The waitress asked the chef and he said No substitutions were allowed... this left me disappointed for the rest of the meal. Overall, the food was moderately good - honestly, the chicken teriyaki at the Japanese place at the mall food court is much better.

Great place. Whenever Im getting takeout the staff are friendly and pack the order up exceptionally well. More importantly the food is fresh and reasonably priced. I love coming here for lunch specials but the items on their "Special Authentic" section are a good value as well. The Dry-cooked stringbeans with pork and Select Diced chicken were a tasty combo, little spicy, but I like it that way. Im looking forward to ordering more of their items in the future.

Simply outstanding. I never sit at a bar to eat, but, met some friends there and was starving. I ordered a noodle dish with chicken and vegetables that I thought was going to be your typical, uninspired, Chinese-American grub. Instead, it was delicious and left me wanting more. My bar drink was also, exceptional, and very generous in size and in alcoholic content. Good thing I wasnt driving. Well worth the visit.

This is perhaps the best Chinese food in the greater Nashua area. A small restaurant with friendly staff, comprehensive menu and meals cooked to perfection. No soggy tasteless vegetables here. Excellent vegetarian options, the Tofu Hunan style and Broccoli in garlic sauce are two of our favorites but there are many more vegetarian choices in addition to the meat and fish.

Delicious! I ordered a Pu Pu Platter and the house fried rice for carry out. All of the food was very good. I moved here about 6 months ago and have tried 3 different Chinese restaurants since then and this one is definitely the best Ive had. I will surely be a repeat customer. Im looking forward to trying the sushi as well, the Red Summer Maki sounds awesome!

Awful experience here. Our waitress rushed us to order then did not check on us once, I had to go find her to ask for the bill. I found her on her phone at the bar. We were the only customers here as well, there was no reason for the lack of service. I ordered the tempura, and after eating it I feel sick to my stomach.

After talking up this restaurant and driving from billerica to Nashua just to come here. I was let down immediately. Was given an absolutely disgusting high-chair after cleaning it myself, found it having no straps and something sharp poking out if the front bar. Be careful if you have a little one and go here.
