Terrible! The parking lot had several cars but when we walk in it was completely empty. The waiters english was minimal and not understandable. The menu was old and very hard to navigate. Totally outdated dining room with old chinese movies playing on there television. Prices are ridiculously high for chinese food. $15 sesame chicken comes with no rice and no rice cheaper than 9 dollars! After we order, my wife notices staring and wispering from the waiting staff(FYI: we are an African-American family) so she tells a waiter we arent comfortable and wed like to pay for our drinks and leave.They didnt seem to understand because 5 mins later they bring the food out and we decide to deal with it. Then we notice the meal portions arent worth the $15. After I do a little math I realize for 2 platters and 2 can sodas Im paying about 55 dollars! I tell them I dont want the food and just want to pay for the drinks and the guy at the front desk argues with me about how its not his problem and how they are different from other chinese restaurants. Then the owner comes out and tells me to go back and eat and I tell her the vibe is off in here. She tells me to pay for half the meal, I gave her $20 and tell her take it or leave it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

One of the better Chinese restaurant here in PA. Forget about that guy who said in the review that the fried rice was almost colored white & the hot & sour soup was light in color. He doesnt know what hes talking about. Fried rice are geared for the American taste, go to China & ask for fried rice or hot & sour soup & theyll look at you as if you come from Mars. Believe me, Ive been to HK 5 times, China 4 times & have yet to see fried rice & HS soup in both countries. The chef comes from HK where authentic Chinese food are prepared. Food that are really authentic are crispy skin fried chicken, & beef tendon casserole. Their soup (chicken claws) tasted really authentic. Ask for the slow simmered soup. Dont ask for wonton soup or hot & sour soup which again were geared for the American taste.

Terrible customer service. I would give ZERO stars if I could. Was on the phone with a guy and he didnt seem to understand what I was saying, then he claimed I didnt know how to speak English? (I was born in the US and grew up in Philadelphia). I was asking what were the options with the duck menu, he didnt seem to understand the word "options" and got upset with me saying "what are you talking about, you called me? You cant speak English?". I was very taken back by this and tried to be nice. All of a sudden I heard *click* and he hung up. Horrible horrible service. I will not deal with this place ever again. P.S., this was my first time experience with them; and the last time.

Food had no taste. I ordered General Tsos Chicken and got Chicken in Brown sauce that had no flavor. My brother complained about his Sesame Chicken because it also was tasteless. The waiter laughed at him and when the owner came out She suggested that he hi back into the kitchen to show her how to cook it properly. Also..their "Chinese" tea was Lipton regular tea(the tag was hanging grin the pot). I think its the only Chinese restaurant Ive ever been in where i had to ask to get my water refilled...and there was only one other table of customers in there. Never again!

I used to eat here when i was a little kid. I was pleasantly surprised to find that after 16 years, not much has changed! They still serve delicious, authentic dishes that are hard to find elsewhere. There arent many old-school chinese dining experiences like this anymore; they serve you wonton crackers before the meal and asian fruit with traditional chinese desserts afterwards, free of charge. Try the fried tofu stuffed with shrimp and the creamy minced beef soup. Dont waste your time getting americanized chinese food here like general tsos chicken.

Pretty good Cantonese cooking, except the husband of the owner is a real moron. This guy sits behind the cash asking for a TIP or commenting that not enough TIP was given even though they probably give little of it to the wait staff. If it were not for this guy and the owner yelling at her husband and the other employees we would go back instead of going downtown or NE Philly for an enjoyable meal.

I couldnt recommend a more fabulously authentic chinese restaurant. The wonton soup is fragrant and light. The spring ,egg, seafood rolls are fresh and delicious. Every entree we have had has been an authentic treat. Truly a delightful dining experience for all. The staff is attentive and enthusiastic with their recommendations from our prior visits. They have an bar.

This is my first time eating at the restaurant. I have been getting their Phoenix rolls to go for years. The service is amazing. All of the staff are so pleasant. Dining here is a wonderful experience. From the really good food to all of the little extras that go with it. I only wish I lived closer! Thank you all for a wonderful lunch.

Wish I could give 0 stars. DO NOT COME HERE. The owner Mary is extremely rude. We had booked the venue for 60 guests, Mary gave us the run around and even hung up the phone on us after we gave her a deposit. WARNING DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE.

I dont even know where to start with this place. Our server remembered our order from months prior and helped us try something new. Able to ask questions and figure out what we like. Food comes out fast and is absolutely amazing. Great place.

Went to wedding reception. It was hot and very crowded. They had fan blowing but not sure if the AC was turned on to the max or not. Either way it was not comfortable. It did help that waiters did not speak English.
