Had high hopes of this place, but not authentic chinese food unfortunately. I’ve never seen sweet and sour pork like that. They only give you a small cut piece inside and it’s coated/deep fried with a hard big shell. Haven’t had one in a while, so not sure if the pork was supposed look dark. White rice included. Saw another review of the walnut shrimp picture and I don’t know why the shrimp look like that as in they don’t give you the whole real shrimp, just shrimp paste. Just want to point it out. Main reason: I couldn’t figure out why I was charged $15.48 total. Paper menu said $13.65 and online menu $15.95, so I’m really confused on how they charge. Didn’t have a chance to ask for the cost breakdown. I won’t be going back and make sure to clarify with them if you have doubts about the

Absolutely fantastic experience! The service was outstanding, and the food was exactly my kind of Chinese style—so flavorful and fresh. The hostess/waitress was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. I was blown away by how fast everything came out—within 5 minutes of sitting down and ordering! Wicked fast and delicious. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving amazing food and top-notch service.

I don’t think I’ve ever had Chinese food so bad, and I am not a reviewer leaver. My son’s orange chicken was so awful we trashed the entire dish. They used chicken you would get with sweet and sour chicken, smothered and drowned it in sauce and called it a day. The chicken was like soup, and soggy to the point of not being edible. The shrimp tempura was not shrimp tempura, and definitely not worth what I paid. I had very little chicken in my chicken and fried rice, and was not impressed for 19.99. For about twenty dollars I received rice with a few pieces of chicken, carrots and peas. Pictures attached. I will never go to this establishment for food ever again.

Cute lil restaurant loved the dough that the dumplings had, the fried basil rice had a refreshing taste to it 10/10 would recommend, prices are good and good portions for sure!

We had delivery. I ordered the steamed vegetables with chicken. Let's call it "mystery meat." I've never seen chicken like this before, especially in Chinese food. The small nibble I ate didn't even taste like chicken. I ate the vegetables and threw the rest away. I really don't know what that meat is -- Gross. Never again!
