The service was great, the atmosphere and food are both top-notch, and overall it's just a nice, relaxing place to devour some genuinely tasty Chinese food! Definitely try their orange peel chicken, it's lovely :)

The food is delicious here and the people are friendly, it is under new management but the menu and the food are great as always. It is an experience like I remembered going with my parents, to a family owned Chinese restaurant. Love it.

From outside it looks like a very small place but once inside one can see the difference. Lots of space, elegant but comfortable. Very nice waiters. Tasty and great variety of food. Very large portions. Definitely a place to return.

Love their lunch specials! Available everyday. I usually call and pick up. The salad is the best to me, simple but good. This is the orange chicken.

Food was great and filling. Been a long time since I tasted original(?) chow mein. Brought back some memories. Very good Chinese cuisine. Will definitely come back and try others on the menu. This is real chow mein, not the one at PandaXpress.

Ordered their garlic chicken takeout. Was surprised how much food they gave along with how good it was. The rice that came with it also was really good. All of it was nice and filling. I plan on going again next time.

Cried tears of joy, seriously. Crushed my foot in a motorcycle accident, and today was my first time seriously riding again. Chilled with friends and worked on our bikes, then came here afterward for food. Worth every cent and second; we're absolutely coming back in...Read More
