I'm the kinda person who only likes to leave positive reviews and see people and businesses flourish. I gotta say after attempting to eat each of the 4 dishes and 2 apps I ordered that I am shocked at how terrible this was, and how much I payed for this. I am also pretty hungover which usually lowers the bar tremendously and I am not beyond eating directly out of a dumpster. I can't get the taste of the fried rice out of my mouth which is akin to a greasy burnt sponge shaped like my father's anger. Anywho, hope this was just a fluke for ya'll and maybe your cook was also too hungover to operate or hired as a favor to someone you owe an unpayable debt to.

Still charging an extra fee when paying by card. Please listen to your customers -- this is not okay.

I feel like this place could've have been waaaay better if they weren't under staffed. The food was so greasy. I would say just as greasy as Panda Express. I give two stars only because my husband likes the wanton soup and dumplings he had, which out of everything we had I thought the dumpling was okay. Service was tired and worn. Chicken was greasy, the mixed chow mein had ONE shrimp in it! I felt bad for them like I felt so uncomfortable to ask for anything to even mention anything.. Which i get because I worked in the food business most of my life, but I always made the effort to treat guest as I would want to be treated. This place and service was not worth $100. If you want services that barely acknowledge you and food that will make your stomach hurt (which I started to feel later that night), then this is the spot I'm sorry, but it was just wasn't a fair pricing for what's its worth.

Dec 24th. Came for the great reviews of the food, won't be back bc of the terrible takeout service. Ordered take out for two around 6pm, when we arrived at 7pm it wasn't ready. Other numbers were being called all around ours. 7:30p...8p...I went up to the counter to request a refund. It was only then the counter clerk told the kitchen to get on it. After almost two hours we finally got our food. No offer to compensate the inconvenience/poor service. SMH☹️?

Having been coming here for a few years and the quality of the food always astounds me. Everything I've tried is delicious, fresh, cooked to perfection. I love the lunch and dinner combinations for a well priced convenient meal

Found this place after riding bikes down on the water. Service was excellent. Food obviously freshly made. Egg rolls were fairly plain. Small and bland in taste My wife had the kung pao chicken which was tasty albeit a little overdone. I had the crispy mandarin chicken which was excellent. The portions on the entrees were good sized. Solid location overall and always nice to support local restaurants.

Wow for sure. Outstanding and perfect service. Food very tasty. Good nice folks running the place. A lot of vegan options. Be Careful on adding and deleting stuff. She did say "extra charge" so I was told so that is good. My five spice tofu take out pork add veg chix = $24. Just a bit high. However, as stated above I knew but didn't think a vegan dish would add up to $24. All good tasty and I will be back. Thanks.

Amazing variety of vegan options. The black pepper sizzling faux chicken is really good.
