The wonton soup was cold, lo mein was fairly unflavorful, no alcoholic beverages available, lacks the Oriental ambience seen in most other Chinese restaurants. The service was fine, but bartender looked bored and not very energetic. Wasn't awful but I'd pass on this one unless you're out of other options

I get takeout from here 2-3 times a week. Food is always good and ready quickly. Staff is friendly. I've also eaten at the restaurant and it was a good experience.

Food was good, just the right amount for a lunch special. Taste was good.Service was not very good. The waiter seemed upset. Dropped everything on the table. Didn't spill anything but definitely wasn't happy.Restaurant was clean and spacious. Don't like the hostess wanted everyone in the same area on top of everyone else. I don't like that, I like room and ability to talk without neighbors.

I wish I read the other review. The chow mein isn't chow mein, food gets watery, and not much flavor. When I mentioned that I thought chow mein has noodles I got, "what do you want me to do" and "no, chow mein never has noodles." The food is sometimes fantastic and other times lackluster.

This was the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten! They forgot to give me part of my order and I didn't even bother driving 3 minutes back there to pick it up. I figured it was as awful as the food they remembered to give me. Chicken chow mein-was the worst-a LOT of boiled cabbage swimming in very watery "sauce" with some white substance that was supposed to be chicken. I may never want to eat Chinese food again! Worst $75 I've ever spent on a family meal!

We've gotten sushi here a few times and it has always been good. But today we tried the Ma-La chicken and I must say that each of us were shocked at what little taste it had. The sauce left a slight spiciness in your mouth, but otherwise it just tasted (or not tasted) like water. No sweetness, no thickness...nothing. Very disappointing. The staff was friendly and ambience is ok. But I might just stick with sushi here.

We've come here so many times and loved the ambiance, service and BYOB. It was our local sushi date spot. Something has changed. Last night we arrived to a sign on the door that BYOB is no longer allowed. We were given a few different explanations when we were asking the staff. They do not serve alcohol and we can longer bring a bottle of wine- this has eliminated them from a date spot but not a family dinner, so we stayed. It is almost March and the restaurant is still decorated for Christmas. I found this a little lazy on their part. Overall the food was still good but took a long time to come out. I'm pretty sure they forgot to put our food in. For perspective, we were there after 8 and the restaurant was emptying out. All of our food was brought to the table at different times. We eat in a restaurant to eat together. We were also forced to buy an entree of fried rice because they could not substitute or do an up charge for the rice that was included in the two entrees we purchased our children. It supposedly confuses the kitchen was the excuse we received. Toward the end of our meal cleaning up the restaurant took precedent over refilling our fountain drinks and waters. Overall, something has changed and we did not enjoy our experience.
Hidden Gem, great food, great prices and great service by Jaylon our waiter! Ambiance was nice not loud, no liquor license and no BYOB.

This place has a very top notch interior, food, and staff. It has been a gem of Harford county. You will not find a better place anywhere in Maryland let alone Bel Air. Attention to detail is exceptional.

Absolutely love this spot. I moved to Harford County two years ago and have found this to be the best Chinese food in the area. They have a great friendly staff, and always get the order right. 10/10 love this place

The food is fresh and tasty. The environment is quite spacious. If you want decent food with a fair variety to select from. Nothing fancy, but filling for sure.
