The family and I love this place! The food is always fresh and delicious! My 6 year old loves to order the sesame chicken! Very welcoming environment! Customer Service is a 10 plus! The fried rice is definitely fresh and not reused as some Chinese Restaurant. We order from here at least once or twice every other week if able. I recommend this place!

Walked and noticed the interior was nicely decorated and clean. I was seated right away and ordered seaweed salad, egg rolls, and seafood soup. Waitress was professional and prompt. My order was delivered in short time. Everything I tasted on my table was wonderful. Very much enjoyed eating here.

This place has a multiple number of ways to order. We prefer to call in and pick up. They are very efficient. The food is also really good. Tonight it was Mongolian Beef for him and sushi for me. Yummy. Everything always tastes freshly made. It's one of a few of our go tos for take out. They are open for dining in, but we're not ready to do that just yet.

Good food and friendly staff. Ordered take-away online, glad I did, the phone rang constantly while we were there. The dining room is open but we are still getting take home for now. Order online and give them a little time to get the order ready, we arrived too quickly. Lots of orders going out on a Fri night. Well worth the trip.
