They serve excellent Chinese food. While I was initially disappointed when they first opened, their ever expanding Chinese menu has made me a big fan. Not too salty or greasy! My favorite items include: baby bockchoy and black mushroom, tomato egg, spicy puff tofu and (weekend special menu items 🤫) + there’s always a large group of Chinese grannies and grandpas dining when I visited. I think that says a lot 👍👍

Yum!! This place has a variety of stuff and all are delicious. loved the kimchi dumpling soup. Lunch specials are affordable & you get a lot of food for the price. I always have leftovers for lunch the day after :) also, they are so accomodating! Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options

Best Kung Pao and General Tso's Chicken in Amherst. It's got the perfect crisp, and it's not too sweet or oversaturated in sauce. Their Ramen and Cumin Beef is amazing too.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chi Lin · Feb 2026

This place is awesome!! Delicious home style Asian food made with real ingredients. The flavors are varied and complex for every dish. The General Tso’s is delicious, not overly breaded and has some really great unique flavor. The eggplant is incredible. The Taiwanese pork over rice is a real traditional dish from Taiwan and they do it perfectly. Overall the food just tastes well-crafted and thoughtful.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Ryan Darbhanga · Feb 2026

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, it missed the mark in several areas. First, the pad thai didn’t taste anything like pad thai. Instead of the balanced sweet, tangy, and savory flavors you’d expect, it tasted like an overly oily version of drunken noodles—with barely any seasoning at all. It lacked the depth and brightness that usually makes the dish so enjoyable. The drunken noodles themselves weren’t much better. The texture felt heavy and doughy, almost like clumps of soft dough tossed together with minimal flavor. Rather than being bold and aromatic, the dish came across as flat and unappealing. The spring rolls were especially disappointing. While the outside was crispy and smelled great, the inside was extremely soggy. Instead of fresh, vibrant
