We used to love this place. Not anymore! We were excited for take out this past Saturday night. Instead, my wife and I got food poisoning. I’m still feeling the effects.

I have frequent this establishment and it is a hit or miss. When it comes to ordering food that should not even take place. Either it's good or bad. After the last three visits I'm done. You pay for a service and expect good food and customer service. My food should not be dry if I ordered a saucy entree. This has happened the last few times. The rice should not be hard like it's been sitting in the rice cooker for days. The quality of the food is not worth giving them my money. I will not be back. Lost another customer.

Haven't been here in a few months. Got the shrimp fried rice for my daughter who always ate it in the past and has been violently throwing up a few hours after eating it. I will never go here again.

With the change in management they are terrible. I got the shrimp fried rice and the shrimp was raw. It was basically fried rice with small uncooked shrimp. No other ingredients in the dish. They only take cash to avoid paying taxes like many other businesses in calvert.

Used to love this place. Went in for a quick 'late lunch' ordered vegetable dumplings and a few other items. Initially the counter took the other as PORK dumplings, then called back to correct. Well, they were pork. There were no vegetables in there. I broke one apart, took it back to the counter to confirm. They told me they were vegetable, which was a lie.I only eat vegetable dumplings so... I know.I won't be going back. Ever.Vegetarian options: If you are a strict vegetarian, don't order the veggie dumplings

Food was prepared well and tasty. Portions a little smaller and higher priced than Chinese restaurant we have in our hometown. For this area though their prices are probably considered low to average for what you get. Bottom line is the food was good.

I had szechuan beef. It was mostly onions that were cut in bigger slices than the beef. The beef was cut very small. Rice was good. I can't find anyone that makes the szechuan beef like it used to be made.

Got take out. Ordered General Taos and Sesame Chicken, chicken fried rice, and egg rolls. The sauce was the same for both chicken dishes, very little flavor. Last I checked General Taos is supposed to have some spice and isn’t the same dish as sesame chicken, which is supposed to be sweet. Only difference between the two chicken dishes was that they sprinkled some sesame seeds on it. The fried rice was yellow (that’s new to me for fried rice) and had very little flavor to it as well. Some pieces of onion and that was it. The egg rolls were over fried and chewy. Don’t waste your money in my opinion. There are better Chinese restaurants out there. Don’t recommend.Dietary restrictions: Not able to accommodate for dietary restrictions.

We use to love this place but over the years it has gone down terribly. They have to have the smallest egg rolls known to mankind. I remember when you could only fit 1 or 2 in a bag. Now they can put a whole party supply in a single bag. The rest of the food was hot but very soggy and old. It seemed like we received a microwaved order that someone didn't pick up. No crispy or crunch to anything but those tiny "egg rolls" ps. No they were not spring rolls!

I've lived in the area since 2020, and I wish I would've tried this place years ago. The General TSOs was great and had plenty of sauce to compliment the rice. Beef Mongolian too! The fried rangoon's were perfect as well. The Pad Thai was to be desired, but for Chinese food...this is my new "go to".

Maria Brescia

Staff nice and friendly. Disappointed in the Alaska roll tasted bitter and just not fresh, the Spicy Lobster Roll was not Spicy at all, Sweet and just not tasty. The best part was the picked ginger.
