Average food at best. Fried rice kind of tasteless, egg rolls small not much filling, rice doesn't come with beef and broccoli they charge $1 extra. No cup of won ton soup available for order only a $16 bowl of soup. Brought orders for our party of 4 out at different times. Atmosphere disappointing.

Food was delicious and came out quick. We had Pork fried rice with sesame honey chicken and dumplings. We ordered 3 things from menu and got a ton of food. Everyone filled up and was able to take home. They serve lots of food, large portions. Very good and will be back.

If you loved the original yummy house on Waters Ave, you will be disappointed. I took a group of 11 friends there and really wish they kept true to their roots. The food had none of their original quality or quantity that they have shown in the past. But if you're new to yummy food is decent and over priced.

Food was ok, I don’t think I will return. The waiter seemed inattentive. He forgot a lot of things in our order. The pork bun was super dry, The fish I ordered tasted frozen and has a refrigerator taste. The noddles were super salty a day the beef was chewy. The only thing that was decent was their fried rice. I don’t get the hype here.

I placed an order for half of a roasted duck. It was marinated! It was so good, I'm visiting and wish I could come back to try the other dishes. Everything coming from the kitchen looked appetizing. Best authentic Chinese cuisine I've had in the state of Florida. And the service was superb, all of the servers were friendly, polite, and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful dining and social experience
Food was excellent. There are still a few glitches in service as you might expect in a new restaurant. Some of the staff had trouble with English, but others were so helpful that when we wanted a particular item, they had the kitchen make it up fresh. Dim Sum from rolling carts was excellent. Parking was easy.

I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately it was just ok. The server was friendly, the food was ok, the restaurant is spacious, but vegetarian options are very limited. The prices seem high compared to most Chinese restaurants, esp for meatless options (i.e. $17 for Chinese broccoli is very super expensive!).The vegetarian food options are limited and unlike most Asian places, they are not willing to swap out proteins. For example, I can usually get a sizzling tofu dish or general tso tofu from other restaurants, instead of chicken. Other than braised bean curd, seafood tofu hot pot, and salt and pepper tofu, I don't think there were any other tofu options.That being said, the salt and pepper tofu was flavorful and crispy, so I would recommend this dish, but you may need to add something else to make it a meal since it's an appetizer so the portion is small. The entree portions of various meals looked generous.They do allow you to omit the meat from certain dishes, but you'll still pay the full price. The tofu seafood hotpot for $23 that the server recommended could be made without seafood, but for some tofu and broth that's a hefty price tag.I did appreciate the server asking my friend if pork is ok, since the XO sauce for the seafood fried rice has pork in it, so that was excellent customer service in my opinion. Although I didn't try it myself, my friend thought the fried rice was decent. But once we ordered our entrees, the server never came back to see if we needed anything.My search for my favorite Chinese restaurant will continue.

$12 for egg drop soup (yikes!) and they refused to serve me from the lunch menu during lunch time (12;15 pm), despite the fact that the two gentlemen sitting next to me received a lunch menu and were prepared to order off said menu. Hard pass.
