The food here is excellent! The duck fried rice and kung pao chicken were so good and was more than enough for two people. The chicken potstickers and spicy pork bun were also so good; you really can't go wrong! Ordering online was a breeze and texting when you arrive for pickup is really easy. Hardest part is finding a place to park so you can pick up your food. I will definitely get takeout here again!

There’s no dine in options (we didn’t realize until we got there) so you order takeout and text them to bring the food to the door when you arrive. Food was amazing and my friend with celiac disease felt very safe and taken care of (and didn’t get “glutened” either time we ordered).

Best authentic Chinese in town. They do take out but I recommend you eat in, there is a excellent vibe and too notch drinks. They strive to use local ingredients and have real Chinese chefs to make sure the cuisine it the best!

Today I tried this restaurant for the first time. I totally regret it. I'm glad everyone else had such a good experience because I couldn't believe how BAD the food was. We got back to our hotel hungry as ever only to find that the chicken was overcooked and dryed out which made it too tough to eat. The green beans were just as bad and for $45 dollars We felt ripped off and given food that should've been thrown in the garbage. I would'nt have fed it to a dog.
