Outstanding customer service! Hands down the best Chinese restaurant I have been to both for service and cuisine! The food is delicious, they are always happy to customize your order, and the phone service is always upbeat and friendly! Best Chinese food and service, bar none! Highly recommend!

I placed a quick takeout order, and I was really satisfied with the service, food, and hospitality. It was my first visit, and I definitely plan to return. Just a heads up—Absolutely Chinese is still takeout only, with no dine-in options available yet.

The food here is fantastic, and I especially enjoy their pot stickers! The prices are reasonable too. Be sure to try the beef skewers; you won't be disappointed!

This is truly a fantastic spot to grab a meal. I ordered the crab rangoon (meat pockets) and the seafood combo with fried rice. I must say, the seafood was cooked perfectly; the scallops were tender and not chewy, and the shrimp was the same. The crab meat was imitation, but it was so well prepared that it practically melted in my mouth. The only downside was that I felt the seafood portion was a bit small, but that might be expected with seafood dishes. Additionally, the fried rice was somewhat underwhelming. It was good, but it lacked a bit of flavor.
