Ordered takeout for the first time after hearing rave reviews and was extremely disappointed. Food was tasteless and mediocre at best. Spring rolls were definitely frozen from a box. We also found a small metal shaving (a small spiral, similar to debris when opening a can) in our meal. It was so awful we didn’t even save the leftovers. Help yourself and avoid the regret and go literally anywhere else.

Our reservation was for 6:30. We arrived on time but were not even aknowledged untill 6:42, seated at 6:55. We were offered beverages at 7:25. BEFORE we were done eating, a 15% tip was demanded! We were a large table and I had to clear plates so we had enough room to eat. Our party also had 2 toddlers and the booster seats (Which we had to get ourselves) were dirty from the previous persons use! Also, we had an acciental spill and were not offered so much as 1 extra napkin. Our server seemed annoyed right from the start that she had a large group and even appoligized to my SIL for being snappy with her. We will spend our next $500 on a meal in a clean environment where we are made to feel welcome. FYI, we usually tip 30% for good service and would have even tipped our usual amount for tonights disgraceful service, but you changed our minds when you very rudely demanded a tip before we had finished eating.

Hardly any vegetarian options. The veggie chow mein was just a plate of dry, bland noodles. Nary a veggie to be found (the half piece of lettuce and carrot skins don’t count). The noodles and spring roll were of Costco/Sysco quality.

Tried their dinner buffet this Sunday. Lots of options include deep fried/ pan fry (veggies, beef, chicken, shrimp and oyster..), main (noodle, fried rice, vermilcelli), wonton soup, desserts and some fruits. Food keeps coming out freshly cooked. The flavor is relatively plain but it’s a good thing because the dishes are not over-salted or greasy. It’s a good place to have buffet on the island

So we took my MIL there for her birthday dinner, she loves it there. Boy were we shocked. Food was cold and way over cooked. Just Awful. MIL must like cold food I guess. we didn't say anything because she seemed to like it and didn't want any hassles because its her D-Day and all. Buffet $30.00 for non seniors. No thanks, and NEVER again. Staff were super nice BTW.

My absolute favorite place for Chinese food, best in town. It's pricey especially with a drive attached to it, but it always seems to be busy.

I went there for a birthday party Saturday night. Everything was over cooked. The won ton, chicken drumsticks , the ginger beef it was horrible…it’s the worst smorgasbord I’ve ever been to there. I will never go back there and to pay 30.00 for that. If I owned that place I would be testing what comes out of that kitchen at all times. Saturday night I would have fired that cook. There smorgasbord was absolutely terrible. You guy’s keep that up and soon no one will show up at your door. I will never eat there again
