We've always driven by this place and been curious because there's never many cars in the parking lot, they're open late, and they're super close to where we live. Basically, it reminds me of China Harbor when I used to live across from there. We were particularly hungry one evening and we called and asked if they were open. They refused to take our order over the phone (a lot of folks end up never picking up their food since they close late, and so they're out the money). We went in with the intention of dining in after being cooped up for so long. Unfortunately, their dining room has been closed indefinitely. We loved the smell of the place - you can smell the wood and the dining room is REALLY INTERESTING while you wait for your food. Important things to note: 1) their menu online is outdated. (see my photo) The worker said that that's been years old - and they're under new management. Why they haven't updated it? Not sure. 2) there are a gajillion security cameras inside Like seriously. It kept us occupied while we waited for our food - we just counted how many different security cameras there were. After we finished counting, we started making up stories as to what 'side gigs' might be happening to elicit such a need for that many cameras. Secret Mahjong den? 3) They have boba! we did not try it because they stop serving after 9 pm but... it's buy one get one half off (or free?) I forget. Sorry guys, i lagged on this 4) The food we got singapore curry noodles and black pepper beef. Overall the portion was AMAZING but the food was OKAY. It wasn't the worst i had, but definitely not the best either. The singapore noodles were super dry, so hard to eat. Other restaruants i've been to make it so there's a little more moisture/oil in the noodles, so it's pleasant to eat from start to finish. The black pepper beef - my partner enjoyed this but the beef isn't great quality. Super chewy. I was happy with the portions for sure! We would come back and order if in a bind and it's super late... but it's not somewhere I'd take friends/family if they visited. I AM curious about the boba though... so will keep you posted!

They have more of a premium Boba tea selections and mixes compared to inherent places. their 4 stars is spicier than other places I get 5 stars at. decent typical Chinese food that I'm used to. I like it. AND, most important thing, they still maintained their business hours even during snow! I was there at 1115pm craving for hot n sour soup. I called beforehand just in case. There wasn't a lots of places opened after 9pm due to snow.

General Tso's is more like deep fried sweet and sour. There's barely any chicken in each piece. Came with one tiny piece of broccoli. Looks nothing like in the pics. Very bad experience.

I ordered orange chicken and general tso's chicken. I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience with the food. Both dishes really had no flavor except for I could partially make out that the orange chicken sauce was burnt. It is really odd I have never had mostly flavorless food before. The chicken inside of the breaded pieces was unfortunately also overcooked and dry. I couldn't recognize either dish as Chinese food based on all the previous Chinese restaurants I have been to. Combing through some of these other reviews it seems like this is a recurring experience. To the cooks or the owner's: I would recommend changing up the sauces you are using.

1st time eating there. I had the Chow mein with black pepper sauce. It's ok definitely not on the top of my list of must go places to eat.

The first time we ordered food here was because it was the only thing open after 10 pm and it was pretty good. So we tried to order again then next week and there was nobody in the restaurant when we arrived at the restaurant at the time we were told to pickup. We waited for 10-15 minutes with not a word so we left. When we got home we called and the guy had no customer service skills. We explained the situation and he literally just said “okay, so you’re not picking it up?”

Just asked for a few things on my order to go .. wanted hot mustard for my egg rolls and hot oil for my hot & sour soup... didn't happen. Seems like pretty small stuff but when you get your order delivered there is no second chance to ask for the small things you really want. Chicken egg rolls were not good btw (hot mustard would have helped).

Got take out on the 4th of July from here - so grateful they were open, as we had just finished hiking in Rainier! We tried the curry chicken, water-boiled fish, and bok choy (bc ~health~). Everything was pretty decent. A bit sad that the fish dish mostly consisted of cabbage, but it's aight. We were just happy we didn't have to cook on a holiday.
Lots of food. Not BAD flavor. Def not too much salt etc. I appreciate that. Guy on phone was friendly and driver was polite. I'll order again.

Seriously the best Chinese food in the local area! I order here all the time, and I've never had a bad experience.

The best Chinese food I've had lately. We got potstickers, chicken chow mein, and orange chicken. The only downside was they forgot our side of rice.

It hurts to write such a brutal review for this restaurant, but the food was literally inedible. We had to throw away the chicken. Not only were the dishes nothing remotely related to Chinese cuisine, they was not even good compared to... McDonald's. The fish at least was disguised in enough salt and garlic that, with some alterations, sauces, and additions by my excellent cook of a husband, we could choke down some of it. (But our toddler knew better.)

Food was bland. Vegetables were burnt. Tofu was over cooked. Spring rolls were not fully fried. Chicken was nasty-- in the nicest terms.
