I picked up one of top tens menu and was pretty happy with it. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is just great!

There was food on tables that was not cleaned up after customers left as the server was very busy . As far as the food, the spring roll was over cooked, the beef in the rice was hard , the chicken balls were overcooked and hard . The best item was the almond chicken guy ding.

Tonight my two teenaged kids and I dined in. The atmosphere is quite nice- clean and bright, but the service was not as good as it could have been. We ordered a couple of combos to share ( one with beef and broccoli, ribs, beef fried rice, egg roll, and the other with sweet and sour chicken, rice and egg roll). We also ordered an extra egg roll and a full order of Chicken Chow Mein. The egg rolls were really hot and very good as were the ribs - so yummy. The rest was pretty good/ basic Chinese food. When I asked for a glass of Pinot Grigio, the waitress told me they had two varieties of wine: red from the box or white from the box- she had no idea what kinds they were and didn't offer to check. I chanced it and ordered the white. Mistake ... barely cold and not very good. Based on the description, I shouldn't have been surprised, I guess. Even if I had wanted to send it back, I wouldn't have been able to, as she didn't come back to check on us for quite some time. I had ordered water for all of us, but only the kids were given glasses, so I was stuck with my wine or nothing. We also told them we would be sharing all of the food (they brought us extra plates) but the waitress did not bring us any serving utensils, so we had to use our forks. I'm sure most of these issues would have been taken care of if someone had come back to check on us, but unfortunately, that didn't happen until we were at least half way through our dinner. I think the total bill (before tip) came to about $48 tax in. The prices were higher in the restaurant than they were online. Would I eat here again? Probably, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to order the wine.

All food hot, generous and tasty. We will return. They do not offer desserts, odd for a dine-in restaurant.

It was also delicious and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and I didn't have to wait long to pick up my order.
