A Lovely Local Gem
This restaurant is a true neighborhood staple. My usual order includes a mix of veggie lo mein, pork potstickers, and egg rolls. The lady behind the counter is absolutely lovely – she's prompt and warm.
It's truly a great local spot.

Rude Service Ruined Takeout Experience
I visited this restaurant when it had just opened to place a takeout order. My experience with the Asian woman at the reception was extremely negative. She displayed a rude and nasty attitude throughout our entire conversation, showing clear annoyance.
When I asked questions, she not only had trouble understanding but also gave me multiple stinky eye looks. I believe she was being racist because when my boyfriend, who is white, asked the same questions, she suddenly smiled and became very warm. I sincerely hope she is no longer employed there, as this kind of front desk service will undoubtedly lead to lost customers.

Amazing Curry Noodles and a Sweet Treat!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The curry been noodles were absolutely amazing. Additionally, the owner was kind enough to give me an almond cookie for the autumn festival.
The service and atmosphere were both rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5-star rating.

Tasty Chinese Food, Kind Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive, especially regarding the food. I found the Kung Pao and Sesame chicken to be very tasty. The lady serving was also very kind and welcoming, contributing to a great service experience.
However, the restaurant could improve its decorations. It seems to be one of those places where the best Chinese food is served in less well-looking establishments. Overall, a good meal with excellent service, despite the modest atmosphere.

Hidden Gem with 10/10 Food!
I can’t believe I have been living right across this restaurant for over a year and only now tried it. This unassuming restaurant is absolutely a hidden gem. The menu offers a variety of dishes and ever since we discovered it 3 days ago, we’ve been here 3 times already.
I can’t wait to try all the dishes because so far, each one we have tried has been 10/10. In terms of service, they go above and beyond. The portions are generous, packed with meats and vegetables for amazing prices.
My husband is Taiwanese and he’s in love. It will be very hard to keep us away from here.

Authentic and Delicious Hong Kong Food!
As someone from Hong Kong, I found the food here to be authentic and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Singapore Style Noodles, Sesame Chicken, and Potstickers, all of which were very good.

Disappointing Kung Pao Chicken
My experience tonight with the kung pao chicken was just okay. It didn't taste great, and I was surprised by the chicken – it seemed like fake chicken, very skinny pieces, which I really didn't like. I'd prefer real chicken.
They also added so many peanuts, which felt like they were just taking up space. The overall flavor was a bit bland. I haven't been here in a while, and I can safely say I won't be returning anytime soon.
Even McDonald's has better chicken than this place. It felt like a fraud.

Great Food, Basic Room
My experience at this restaurant was primarily focused on the food, which was great. I enjoyed the smoked meats and dumplings, and appreciated being able to choose as much heat as I want. The room itself was nothing to write home about, but the food quality made up for it.
The service was rated a 4 and the atmosphere a 3.
