FoodspottingNovember 18, 2010Try the Pork Eggroll, Hand Rolled Steak Burrito and Shrimp Wrap with Peanut Sauce
Stephanie NgFebruary 13, 2021AVOID - restaurant told my dasher that “the order had too many items” and they would not be filling it!!! This is after she wasted 20min of her time waiting for it. Ruined our lunar new year dinner.
Jack ShamamaNovember 13, 2010Really great place to take parents & our-of-town guests, the sauce on the shrimp packets is sooooooooo good.
Jason SchlosserJuly 15, 2011Ask for something special. They cooks will surprise you and it will not disappoint.
SejalOctober 7, 2010Great place to eat - fast service too! Get the spicy garlic/eggplant, absolutely delicious!
RenoMay 16, 2013This place is a tourist trap. The food used to be good 15years ago but now shafting tourists. Go to nearby R&G Lounge for excellent Chinese food. Tip: go downstairs and have baked crab

Sarene Leeds PetrovitchJuly 5, 2011Get the salt and pepper shrimp with mushrooms and the sesame chicken.
Chris MartinNovember 20, 2010Just let them bring you food and rip you off like a tourist. It's the cool thing to do, I promise.
Tom BooneMarch 8, 2010Great place to eat if you are on business and by yourself. Try the nanking chicken with Sweet Potatoes, it's awesome.
Michelle CaldeiraJune 29, 2011Ok, so it may be the touristy thing to do...guess what? I'm a tourist :)
Kimi PryorJanuary 9, 2013The wonton soup was not what I expected, but it is the bomb.com. Btw, don't sit near the front door.
Two different employees lied to me and said they did not take credit cards, which they do. Made me go down the block to get cash and pay a service charge. Then I saw them swiping cards. Never again.
Sheriff BullockNovember 16, 2011Small menu and very pricey. Do not like. My sesame chicken is all breading. I wanted to go to Chef Jia's next door but they weren't open.
Dume SiacciJune 5, 2011The sesame chicken is not so bad. Order 1 for two persons it will be ok with steamed rice !
Jane PerrinJune 22, 2013The restaurant is not Very good , the food is bad. The service leaves something to be désired. The Staff os rude and nasty (crasy) advice: avoid this restaurant ! The crédit cart is not accepted
Chelsea HamiltonOctober 7, 2011a rather abrasive woman I'm assuming was the owner hustled me into ordering the sesame chicken, was definitely not disappointed!
