I absolutely adore this restaurant. The food is fantastic—truly exceptional! I would rate it a perfect 5 out of 5 for the food, service, and atmosphere. Everything is just excellent!

I ordered General Tso's chicken by phone for takeout. The food was hot and ready when I got there. Service was fine and prices are reasonable. The food satisfied my cravings. I will note that I recently came to the area from New York City, so while food didn't quite live up to NYC standards, it was good enough that I will order from them again.

We were craving hot and sour soup along with a few appetizers, which included egg rolls, teriyaki chicken, and dumplings. The soup was just mediocre, the egg rolls were not impressive—I've certainly had better, the dumplings were overly chewy (and not in a good way), and the teriyaki chicken was so overcooked that we had to discard about 60% of it. To top it off, it took them 25 minutes to prepare this small order. What really frustrated me was the 4% surcharge for using a credit card. It's disappointing to see a restaurant employ such practices; in my experience working in retail, if you're passing on a 4% fee from the credit card company to customers, you're not managing your business effectively.

The staff was incredibly polite as well. I remember during my first visit, I was looking at the pictures on the wall trying to decide what to order when a little girl came from behind the register to hand me a menu. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture! I’m really happy to have discovered this place and can’t wait to try more dishes in the future!
