★★★★★ 5.0 Angelle Horste · Dec 2025

Just tried them for the first time last week. We loved it so much we ordered again tonight! I love love LOVE the tofu veggie soup! Staff are great and very patient (even if you get confused), super helpful. Highly recommended!

This place is always amazing. I used to go here as a kid. And it’s still running smoothly, although it’s more geared towards delivery and pick up since Covid. The food is always so good! You can never miss! Please, if you want good Chinese cuisine, order from here!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Gina Gagliastre · Feb 2026

I first dined in approximately 5 months ago, ordering the mooshi beef and, at the suggestion of Patrick, the server, a bottle of the Chinese beer. Sadly, my card was declined due to another fraudulent charge to my account as I am a victim of identity theft after being robbed more than a year ago. I apologized to Patrick, stating that I would provide the owner with a copy of my driver's license and make payment when able. He said that he would pay for me. I thanked him and informed him that I would pay him back, to which he responded that I need not do so. This restaurant charges for additional mooshi pancakes, something which I and others find appalling! Last night, I ordered the egg drop soup. Patrick again was the server and said that his boss doesn't like small orders! I responded too

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Maya Brody · Dec 2025

The chow fun noodles were a bit over cooked, and there were not a lot of vegetables. The chicken with string beans was ok. I wouldn't eat here again when there are much better Chinese restaurants in town.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jonah Fliegelman · Dec 2025

Not terrible, but not good either. My beef fried rice was fairly bland, and the beef was not a good texture - kind of mushy. My partner’s Szechuan tofu was also bland and mushy, but fine.
