Order messed up, but food was good
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. I specifically told the lady taking my order that I didn’t want any rice and paid for a whole side order of what I wanted instead. However, she still gave me a lunch combo with rice. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Despite this service issue, the food itself was excellent, receiving a score of 5. The service received a score of 3, and the atmosphere a 4.

Disappointing Chow Mein Portion Size
I decided to try this place after walking by. I ordered chow mein over sweet and sour chicken, but was informed by the staff that they could only be ordered as separate entrees. I did so, but instead of a full entree portion of chow mein, I received a small take out box. At $12 for this small portion, it was very hard to justify the price. The food itself received a 3/5, service a 1/5, and atmosphere a 4/5.

Great Tofu and Broccoli Spot!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's reasonably-priced with lots of options. I'm definitely going to make this my new go-to for tofu and broccoli. The food received a perfect score of 5, as did the service and atmosphere.

Delicious Chinese Food, Friendly Staff!
Wow. I love me some Chinese food and this place is definitely a new go-to spot. I've walked by this restaurant so many times but never ate here. Shame on me. The food is so damn good, with nice portions and the staff is super friendly. It's not pricey like most other restaurants throughout the city. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Solid Chinese Staples for Lunch or Dinner
This is a nice place to grab lunch or dinner. They offer lunch specials and a full menu featuring your basic Chinese food staples. My experience was positive, with good food, service, and atmosphere.

Incorrect Order Received
I ordered online for takeout and unfortunately, I should have verified my order before leaving the restaurant. Upon arriving home, I discovered they had given me vegetarian chow mein instead of the beef fried rice I ordered. The incorrect item was even noted on my receipt. I checked my browser history to confirm my order, as I never received an email confirmation. Returning to the restaurant was not feasible due to having hungry guests waiting.

Rude cashier, disappointing food
My experience at this restaurant was largely negative due to the cashier's extremely rude and dismissive attitude. When we tried to add to our order, the cashier was completely unhelpful. Regarding the food, we ordered chicken chow mein, wild pepper chicken, ginger scallion fish, and Singapore style noodles. The ginger scallion fish was tasteless. The only dish we enjoyed was the wild pepper chicken. The overall experience was significantly marred by the cashier's very rude interaction.

Rude Service Ruined Dinner Experience
We started off badly. We arrived at 8 PM because the restaurant states it closes at 9 PM. However, we were told we couldn't eat inside because they were closing soon. The gentleman who served us was very rude, almost shouting at us, and said he couldn't take our order exactly as we wanted. I understand that, but there's no need to be rude. If he didn't want to serve customers, he should have stayed home.

Solid American Chinese Lunch Spot
My experience at this restaurant was that of a solid Chinese lunch spot. You can tell there are many regulars here, and this place is a textbook example of hardy American Chinese food. The food featured freshly fried generous portions with the right amount of char in the noodles and a sprinkle of aromatics. The service was quick and efficient.

Good Noodles, Greasy Egg Rolls
We arrived too late to eat in, so we opted for takeout. I ordered the Singapore style noodles, and they were cooked nicely with good spice. However, the egg rolls were really greasy, and the hot and sour soup was not very good. On the positive side, the service was quick and the food arrived hot.
