Ordered schechwan beef after talking to them for 10 minutes and confirmed that they make it spicy and no sugar. Got it and opened at home it was sweet like sugar with so much of flour and no beef. Called them and the response was we make them sweet and no apology or offer to replace.Bad place don't ever go or order.

Delicious freshly made Chinese food. We had the sizzling chicken and it was very good. They have many dish options. The dumplings also tasted freshly made.

Great food, huge portions, very friendly staff/Owner. We especially loved the pork dumplings, pot stickers, eggplant, and wor wonton soup. Highly recommend and would come here again!

Nice restaurant. The menu has all the typical dishes and more. We just tried a few things on their menu, and everything was good. The wontons in the wor wonton soup was really good. There are lots of veggies in it which I like. We also had the pan-fried pork buns. Crispy bottom. The filling was just ground pork, which was good. We just ordered a couple of vegetable items. Dry string beans and eggplant in garlic sauce. Both were great. The portion size was large, which I appreciate. Lots to take home. I will be going back.

It's such a weird name. It's a regular takeout Chinese place. There's lots more than fish. It used to be Taste of China, which my family loved. I assume either they sold it, or pivoted to face the new reality of DoorDash and eating at home. Food was good and plentiful.

Good place and good cuisine. It has not so perfect interior design, but it was very delicious. Also, they have a very helpful and responsive guy at the reception. I like it!

We had pan-fried pork bun, stir fried string beans, sizzling beef, and salted fish & chicken fried rice. Plenty of good food for 2, and enough for at least one more meal.

Took our friends to a new restaurant, Big Fish Chinese Cafe, to celebrate a birthday. We all had different entrees. The food is certainly authentic Chinese but there are a few Americanized versions on the menu (like honey walnut prawns, which I like). The owner is from Hunan, like my wife. She enjoyed some of the dishes from her province. She had been looking for an authentic, local, Chinese restaurant. Now she has one.The food was delicious with large portions and everything was hot. We will definitely be going back for more. There are so many different items to choose from that we can come back often without getting bored with the same thing all the time. It is a great find.

Can you be more absurd on taking a customer's order? This is the 2nd time I tried to order food from this restaurant. When I called them the first time, the person asked me to wait a few mins after I said I wanted to place pick up order. A bit odd since most restaurants can take my order immediately, but sure. After 3 mins, they came back. I guess not too bad. I called again today, same thing. Asked me to wait after I told them I want to order pick up. And they totally forgot I guess. I waited 10 mins and they never respond back. I can hear them talking to the customer at the restaurant though. Absurd! Food quality wise: Cumin Lamb: lamb quality was not good at all, taste was just okay Braised Pork Belly: Pretty good, worth it Dry Beef Chow Fun: Mediocre, had better Chow Fun at this price.

They are having a 10% OFF promotion from now on until March 10th. Don't miss out the huge discount if you are thinking of getting Chinese food.

Be prepared to wait for a looooong time for your food. 41 minutes for three items. Not sure if they have not set their processes but there's only one family eating in so not sure why the excuse is that they are very 'busy'
