Definitely gone downhill in recent years. Used to be one of my favorite places but no longer. Food is very second rate anymore and the lady at the front desk is rude and unwelcoming. Won't be back. Too many other good places to choose from now! Sad!

The food was delicious and the service 100%. We had a reservation for 30 and they were quickly and without issue able to add another 7 seats for us.

Take out is the best! Super quick from the time of ordering to when it's ready. Prices have gone up a lot over the last few years, but there's lots of food that can last a number of meals.

Very bad service, they bring hot and sour soup it was very cold, we ask to take soup back he was very unhappy after he take the soup back bring it again it just warm , and he he brings the rest of the order. He wasn’t happy and he didn’t ask if you need anything I will give them zero stars for customer service. I will never go back again to that restaurant again.

We have been going here as family since 20 yearsToday we had table reserved and arrived on time 7pm.We walked in and other front desk lady gave away our table to someone else as racial discrimination.This is not acceptable. I have pics.One lady was apologetic and other old lady who assigned table incorrectly did not care.s.We got 2 small tables joined and not what was reserved or asked for.We are very disappointed on Christmas Eve.Hope Manager sees this note and does something

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Lamb was waaay salty, egg roll had oil running out of it, beef on a stick only had one taste that wasn't very palatable. There weren't enough napkins to even try to pick up and eat the spare ribs. Service was poor and the dining room was cold. Stay away! Far, far away!
Above average food, same veg used in soup and noodles, different dishes but somehow feel they are repetitive. Great and friendly service. I would agree on a rating of 4.2.

Since the Management has changed, its been jusgHorrible customer service experience and bad food served. Way too much oil and sauce, very unhealthy . We ordered some seafood items, it had foul like smell and no taste! Drinks were not made using the items listed on menu.

Restaurant used to be excellent, but quality has really suffered in recent years. Often cornstarch slurry used to thicken sauces has been half cooked. And meat is tough. Very disappointing ? I keep giving it another chance every year or so, but it continues on a downward fall.Wheelchair accessibility: My mom was in a wheelchair from Parkinsonism, Easy access
