Before December, I haven't been here in over 10 years. I knew they had good food, and my wife and I decided to have chinese in a restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Now we come once a month. I forgot how good the food & atmosphere was. I definitely recommend!

New owner… Great hot and sour soup.Good egg rolls. Answers reviews.When Jimmy owned it…it was great … next owner took over and it went downhill.This owner seems to care. Give this place a try. I did.

Excellent food and if you’re looking for something on the go very quick, no need to wait or if you’d like a drink go in they have a good bar and they make a stiff drinkParking: The parking is great, no matter if it’s crowded or not there’s always a spotKid-friendliness: It’s great for kids it’s not so tight the kids can get up and walk around if need be and they can make chicken fingers for the kidsWheelchair accessibility: Some places are wheelchair accessible just because there’s no stairs but if you’re in a wheelchair you already know that does not make it has to be enough room for when you turn corners the doors have to be wide enough well they have double doors so you can open both no stairs

The menu is vast, the food is SUPER tasty and gives you a LOT for the low to medium prices! Great place for family or friends. Staff is SO friendly and accomodating. New fave chinese place!Vegetarian options: Lots and lots of vegetarian options available with friendly staff you can ask about any changes you need!Dietary restrictions: Going out with family or friends and scared of trying new foods? They got french fries and chicken tendies baby!!Parking: The parking lot is small and weird but you won't be at want for a spotKid-friendliness: It doesn't dissuade children, has comfortable booths, and the staff are super friendly and understanding. Its nice looking, but not too fancy for kiddos.Wheelchair accessibility: The bathrooms are a bit of a squeeze, the front door doesn't have any steps or front porch and the tables have a wide berth perfect for wheelchair users. Some of the architecture is.... complicated, but easy to get around.

Food is the best in the area if you eat at the restaurant. Takeout on the other hand is not as good. Appears to be what they are trying to get rid of and I ended up throwing it away so now I dont trust 'to go' orders anymore. Kind of sneaky.

Will never be ordering from here again. I’ve ordered sushi many times with multiple people and the orders were always separate. Tonight, they mixed multiple orders all in one container, and unfortunately one of the people in the group is vegetarian and wouldn’t eat the mixed food. We called them about it and they got very combative, saying it was our fault for not stating their were food allergies, but I pointed out that I have ordered numerous times in the past and that this has never been an issue. The person I spoke to just insisted this is the way they always do things and that I was lying about things always being separate. They even went so far as to pull up my order history to see if they could prove me wrong (which of course they couldn’t do). Eventually I had to hang up because I couldn’t take being berated and belittled anymore. Most places would apologize and try to make it right, this time it was our fault (even though history was on our side) and my friend had to find dinner somewhere else. This is not a way to run a business, you don’t blame, yell at, and argue with your customers when you make an arbitrary change to the way things have been done! Not to mention that the whole place is just starting to look run down and dingy and their dumpster stinks the outside of the restaurant up like no other restaurant I’ve ever been to before. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else with staff that won’t pick an argument with you over something that they did! If I could leave negative stars I would!

Sad little restaurant that is obviously a shell of what it used to be. Food is always mediocre at best, but the real problem is their service; it is deplorable! Never before have I been yelled at by a restaurant worker when I pointed out a problem with my order. I won’t ever again step foot through those doors, I’ve got better things to do with my time! If you’re looking for good Chinese food at a place with an amazing atmosphere, keep going the extra few miles down the road to Fu’s in Sparta! Don’t let the different street names fool you, it’s even on the same road!!

The food used to be better than it is now, but that is not the issue. You don’t argue with your customers when you mess an order up! You apologize and come to an understanding of how to make it right. Grow up and stop alienating your customers!!
