    The greeter was pleasant and the food was so fresh. Really delicious hot and sour soup. The mushrooms were so good as is the bourbon chicken. My son loved the fresh crab Rangoon and egg rolls. Without a doubt we will be regulars

    My wife and I use to come here three times a week when the previous owners were here. Now that it is new ownership, I can honestly say the food quality has went bad and the service is slow. This is not the Chinese food I know being I am Asian decent. The food was cold and the fried rice was nasty! It tasted old and smelled like spoiled and the rest of my meal was also bad. I hate giving bad comments especially when it's my type of food, but when I have to toss out a whole plate of food which I hated doing, that's not a good sign. I will not be coming back for a long time and hoping they will improve in the near future.

    $11.98 per person with lots of options- fresh sushi, typical dishes, American items and the fun frog legs and crawfish. Not a typical stop but for our group of 6+ all hungry, no wait was well worth it.

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. First off I don't think they have air conditioning at all it was probably 80 degrees in there! The food was all old and tasted bad and I tried a LOT of things. The best thing was there pre packaged icecream. Then to top it off for 2 ppl it costs 26 bucks! I paid with 2 20s and didn't realize till I walked out that she only gave me 4 dollars back! I went back in and she literally couldn't figure out the math at all so I had to tell her give me 10 dollars, which thankfully she did. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Ugh my stomach already hurts

    I went to this establishment on 6/13 with my mother to purchase food. When i took the food home and ate it, i found a BUG, that's right, a BUG!!!! I found it on the side of the plate towards the bottom of my food. I called the restaurant to resolve matters over the phone and they told me they did not speak English and hung up. I went into the restaurant, with my bug infested food, and asked them for a refund. They told me since I found a bug and my mom did not, they could not refund her food. I paid almost $20 for the food and they would only give me $10 back even tho we wanted nothing to do w either plates. My mother had not finished her food, but was not willing to find out. They denied our refund request and then stated they did not have a manager in and did not know when the manager would come back. They are scammers and infested with bugs. DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY INSECTS!!!!
