" This was our go-to place for many years, but it seems like the quality has dipped. The last order of fried rice tasted bland and hardly had any meat compare to what I remembered. It’s sad to see such a reliable restaurant falter. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves takeout nights, and we decided to try this restaurant. The fried rice tasted old, and the General Tso's chicken had an odd flavor. I wanted to appreciate a new place, but I can't justify a repeat visit with such disappointing food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually prefer takeout from other places, but I’m glad we gave this restaurant a chance. The hot and sour soup was delicious, and I found the sesame chicken to be flavorful rather than overly sweet. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Won't be making a return. After reading mixed reviews we were optimistic, but the chicken fried rice tasted like it was made from leftovers, and the General Tso’s provided a very unnatural taste of fish. The service wasn’t bad, but the food just didn’t cut it. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited last weekend and were impressed with the selection and flavors! The scallion pancakes were flaky and delicious, and the soup was flavorful. The only downside was the wait for the main dishes. Overall a pleasant experience! " (*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*)
