Description

**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences**

Once a beloved local Chinese takeout spot, this restaurant has faced significant service challenges recently. Customers have reported long waits, often exceeding an hour, with orders frequently misplaced or delayed, especially during peak hours. While some diners appreciated the friendly staff and generous portion sizes, others noted a decline in food quality, particularly the vegetarian egg rolls. However, amidst the complaints, a few patrons highlighted positive experiences of helpful service and delicious, authentic dishes. Despite the restaurant’s efforts, many long-time customers are reconsidering their loyalty, leaving the future of this eatery in question.

This used to be a fantastic local spot for basic Chinese takeout, but the service has really gone downhill. I’m currently sitting in their lobby waiting for an order that is 50 minutes late. There’s only one person working during peak dinner hours. This is the second time I’ve experienced this.

The food is fantastic, but the wait time is frustrating. If you order online, be aware that your order won't be cooked until you arrive in person and pay. Then just hope there aren't too many people ahead of you! I placed my order at 5:50 PM, and by 7:20 PM, my order was still not ready.

I used to really enjoy this restaurant, but since we moved further away, I haven't had the chance to visit in a while. I went there today, and I was disappointed to find that the quality is nowhere near what it was just a year ago. The pork fried rice was loaded with pork fat instead of genuine pork, and the fried dumplings clearly came from the freezer rather than being made fresh like they used to be. Additionally, they were deep-fried instead of being steamed first and then fried. I hope for the restaurant's sake that this is just a temporary setback, because the food was quite poor this time around.

Ok food just place your order 4-6 hours ahead of time . This place is slower then jb46 forming a sentence . They say 15 min but it’s closer to 2 or more hours . There so not one person cooking and even then the food isn’t that good . Will not be returning due to the down hill decline this place has taken.

Our new favorite place for chinese food! The food does take a bit longer but I don't mind the wait given the quality of food! Biggest steamed dumplings I've ever had.
