Food portions are generous! DELICIOUS beyond expectations. Been to many other restaurants and this one takes the trophy. The drinks are so good I will definitely be back. Nothing was too salty or sweet. Everything was at the perfect temperature. New favorite location found!

So good! We ordered a few dishes like the Wonton soup, garlic chicken, green peas with shrimp, eggplant, and sour soup. It was all good. The food tasted light and clean. Thank you.

I've been coming here for years and I really enjoy this place. I got the orange chicken lunch special. It came with soup, rice and an entree. It has so much flavor, its always crispy and fresh!

The food was great. We had the veg kung pao and garlic green beans. The mock chicken was not vegan but we were able to replace it with tofu. Service was amazing! We will definitely be back!
