" I was pleasantly surprised! The sweet and sour chicken was just right and bursting with flavor. The staff was courteous and the atmosphere was cozy. My only lament was that I wish the portions were larger for the price, but overall a really nice dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" So overly sweet and sticky! I was looking forward to the orange chicken, but it tasted more like candy than chicken. Too much sauce and not enough chicken left me disappointed. I don’t think I’ll be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely meal here last night! The dumplings were fresh and warm, and the service was fantastic. I did think the fried rice was slightly overcooked, but everything else on the menu was spot on. I'd recommend giving this place a try for some comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought I’d found my new favorite Chinese spot, but the experience was not what I expected. The service was friendly, but the food was laden with grease, and the flavors felt muted. Definitely room for improvement if they want to keep customers returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and was rudely disappointed. The flavor was bland, and it felt like I was just eating fried dough. Service was okay, but I won’t return for food that doesn’t please my palate. " (*Curated Review*)

" A total disappointment. The fried rice was mushy, and my Kung Pao chicken seemed to be coated with way too much sauce. It almost felt like I was eating a sweet soup with some chicken instead of a real meal. I don’t think I will ever come back to this place again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have my doubts after hearing mixed reviews, but the sesame chicken was delightful! It was crispy and flavorful, far beyond what I expected from a takeout place. However, not everything hit the mark; the egg rolls were underwhelming and a bit greasy. If you can overlook a few off items, the good dishes are worth trying. " (*Curated Review*)
