I ordered take out with a variety of items and everything was delicious! They provided me with a variety dipping sauces and hot sauces (which I personally love). I couldn’t wait to get up this morning to eat my left over pan fried pork bao. Quick, friendly and efficient. I can’t wait to rerun.

The lady in the front had a terrible attitude, but noticed her attitude changed and was friendlier with Asian guests. She rushed to take the order and wasn't friendly at all. On top of that the fried rice was mushy and the shrimp in the shrimp dish I ordered tasted old. Don't go here, go
to the Chinese restaurant up the street! I do not work for any restaurant or affiliated with any restaurant at all. I was a first time customer that gave this restaurant a first try while my son was at his orthodontist appt. and I have the receipt the prove it!

Terrible establishment. I paid $20 for a CUP of rice. Food was bland and old tasting. Hostess was stingy as hell with the sauces. There are so many better and CHEAPER options!
