Although the items appeared the same on the menu, the actual food was nothing like what I expected. It was so disappointing that I even saved most of it for testing. Now, I just need to figure out how much it will cost to have it analyzed. What I received didn’t taste like beef at all. I will never return to this restaurant.

Their fried noodles are incredibly flavorful and authentic compared to other Chinese restaurants. If you're planning to order fried noodles, definitely go for the lo-mein! (The staff will also guide you on which one tastes better.) I will absolutely come back to try more dishes!

I visited tonight, hoping to relive my past experience as it used to be my favorite Chinese place, but it has certainly changed with the new ownership. The prices are steep, and the portions are on the smaller side—I ended up with a disappointing serving of tough pork. As someone of Chinese descent, I can honestly say there were no authentic flavors; I had to add my go-to soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce just to make it enjoyable. I'm truly let down, especially since there are so many better options in Mesa! No offense intended, but it may appeal to those who aren't well-versed in authentic Chinese cuisine. On a positive note, the customer service was outstanding.

I've tried several different dishes, and they never fail to impress! The customer service is fantastic, and the food is bursting with flavor. It always arrives quickly and is piping hot and fresh!
