    Welcome.
    Laura C.

    We walked in on Sunday evening a little after 7pm for dinner. Someone was cleaning the floors. A strong smell of pine sol. This is the first time we were seated and then asked TO LEAVE. The owner came over and said something to the effect that the area was being cleaned and would the smell bother us. We had actually ordered hot tea to drink. I drove 25mins to give Chen's a try. A huge NOPE for me

    Freezer burned - old miserable - garbage!

    WOW WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!! Really disappointed at this experience. Tried to order from here since we get Chinese at least twice a week - so we wanted this place would be a a good neighborhood gem. The food was so bad - I almost don't know where to begin, other than I wish we had not deviated from our regular place in Duluth called a Taste of China. We didn't want to drive down there, as we had a long day driving and thought why not give it a try? So this 1st order was certainly our last - aside the rice after being on the phone for like nearly 15 minutes, which was nice of the young girl - to make sure it was being prepared right. Outside of that - the food was wrong! The rest of the order was just miserable, from the ribs being old and near petrified (I ordered well done to make sure they would be fresh and they were certainly NOT! - They were so inedible - I didn't even give the meat which was so dry - like they were freeze dried - to the dogs! We had honey chicken - and to be fair they made it off the menu - but it was disgusting. We ordered fried rice with egg and white onion - why he was the subject of much of the discussion - as we said no scallions! So wouldn't you know it? Loaded with them - which we had called about and they offered to bring it over my house - just leave the wrong rice at the door and they would have left the replacement rice at the door - wifey was so upset about the rice and egg roll which was like a soggy sponge - we cancelled it. They gave us $7.90 back on the card - which the rest of the almost $60 - Belch! Soups tasted like chlorine water and wontons were like play dough. Noodle bags were really oily and I am happy we bought 4 extra bags. Everything was miserable down to the MIS-fortune cookies, which were STALE! Damn EPIC FAIL!

The portion size is really good and fair price!!!! Shrimps are in a good size too!!! Today I tried delivery at lunch time, we ordered chicken orange, chicken curry and dumplings pork OMG amazing!!!!! So fresh and taste really good!!!!! The size is really good we could have lunch and dinner!

    I can't say enough good things about this place. The owner and his wife really go above and beyond to make sure the experience is top notch. Pepper steak was absolutely THE BEST my husband and I have tried anywhere. Ever! Unreal how perfect it was. Sesame chicken was very fresh and had great flavor. All white meat chicken. Fried rice had exceptional flavor and had peas and onions in it. Lots of places don't put those anymore so I was very happy to see it. Egg rolls are huge and taste wonderful. House special soup for 2 was a huge and had TONS of chicken and shrimp and imitation crab in it. Lots of carrots and snow peas and water chestnuts. Really amazing. Service was absolutely wonderful. The owners wife is very sweet and told us they don't put any MSG in their food. They forgot to put it on their menus but she wanted to make sure we knew that, which we appreciated because it does give us headaches sometimes. She said her husband supervises the kitchen and makes sure every dish that goes out is perfect. They really care about their diners' experiences. I have absolutely no complaints at all and we can't wait to come back!

The door was unlocked, so we walked in. A staff member told us they didn't open until 11:00 and asked us to wait outside. He also told us that we should only come in when the sign outside was lit. I completely understand that the restaurant has business hours, but it was only three minutes before opening. Also, it's summer and the sunlight is very bright, making it extremely difficult to tell whether the sign is lit or not. The three-minute wait wasn't the issue. What bothered me was the way the staff member spoke to us. It felt more like he was lecturing us than politely communicating with customers. Unfortunately, this experience was enough for us not to come back, and I would not recommend this restaurant to my friends.

    My partner and I decided to try Tani Thai 02.20.2026 and stopped by around 6:30PM for dinner…read more First off, the interior seemed clean and well-kept. The ambiance was dark and intimate, which I appreciated -- it gave the space a cozy, relaxed vibe that felt nice for a dinner date. The music was low and soft, which worked well since most of the tables were talking pretty loudly. It didn't feel chaotic or overstimulating, and we were still able to have a comfortable conversation. Service was decent -- we were seated quickly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Here's what we ordered: Tiger's Tears ($15) - 3/5 This was the dish I was most excited about. It's described as grilled beef with chili-lime seasoning, onions, scallions, and sweet peppers. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The beef was noticeably tough, chewy, and a bit sinewy rather than tender and juicy. The chili-lime sauce was very sharp and aggressively acidic -- overwhelmingly sour to the point where it masked the savory, char-grilled flavor of the meat. It was supposed to be spicy, but as an Asian who regularly eats and enjoys spicy food, there was barely any heat at all. The dish looked vibrant and colorful, but flavor-wise it felt unbalanced and slightly one-dimensional. Basil Fried Rice with Chicken ($18) - 2.5/5 The menu labeled this as spicy as well, but again, there was zero kick. Not even a subtle warmth. It tasted like very standard, plain fried rice -- mildly seasoned, slightly oily, and lacking depth. The fresh Thai basil aroma wasn't very pronounced, and the overall flavor felt muted and underwhelming. The chicken was okay texture-wise, but the dish as a whole didn't stand out or justify the price point. It needed more heat, more fragrance, and more boldness to feel like true Thai basil fried rice. Coconut Mushroom Soup with Chicken ($5.50) - 2/5 This one was disappointing. When it first arrived, it was comforting and creamy with a light coconut aroma. Initially, it tasted balanced and mildly savory. However, as it sat and I alternated between dishes, the flavor became increasingly sour and slightly off-putting. The chicken was extremely dry, stringy, and overcooked, which made it difficult to enjoy. The broth lacked the rich, silky depth I was hoping for and ended up tasting thin, overly acidic, and somewhat flat. Thai Teas ($5.50 each) - 3.5/5 Honestly, these saved the night. Sweet, creamy, and refreshing -- exactly what you expect from a good Thai tea. Smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful. Water - 0/5 I took one sip and didn't touch it again. It tasted like straight tap water with a faint cleaning solution scent. Thankfully, we had the Thai Teas to rely on. Overall, the experience was okay but not memorable. The atmosphere and ambiance were pleasant, but the food didn't quite deliver -- especially considering how Thai cuisine is typically bold, aromatic, spicy, and layered. For us, the dishes leaned either too sour or too bland, without much balance in between. Given the prices, we were expecting more depth and stronger flavors. Not a terrible experience, but not one we'd rush back for either.

Maybe they changed their menu or maybe I didn't know what I was looking for when I first made my visit back in 2018. What I can say for certain now is that something changed. For the better... So I decided to give this place another shot and get the normal gauge for a decent Korean Chinese joint. Granted they expanded their menu items out beyond the Korean and Chinese and into Thai which, great but not sure how that'll help for being out in the Buford/Sugar Hill area but do what you gotta do. So for the food this round. The jjajangmyun is solid. There's a deep rich wok hei flavor that's smoky and savory which is what this needed. The noodles are fantastic, the black bean noodle sauce is packed full of thinly sliced pork strips, onions, zucchini and other essentials that gives the sauce that flavor that is both savory from the wok hei yet also has a mild sweetness due to the onions. The noodles carry the sauce well and they cooked it perfectly. With the black bean noodles, the obvious pairing is the sweet and sour pork. The breading is a bit thick but the meat chunks are just as thick which gives it a decent mouth feel in terms of the fried breading and the pork meat. The sauce is sharply tangy but not unbearable. All in all, my experience this round was more than satisfying. I will say though, the pricepoint for the dish is pretty disappointing. I dropped $50 between the two entrees which is pretty painful dining solo. So come here with friends and go family style with main dishes.

Delivery was timely, the driver tonight left the food on the doorstep even though I asked to have it handed to me. (Not the restaurant's fault) I was even masked for the handoff as per DD protocol also! When I opened the bag, a couple things were immediately noticeable. The bag had sauce dropped on it, which told me that it was either tilted en route or when initially packed. Next I saw there was one lonely packet of soy sauce for two entrees but two packs of duck sauce (I don't know who wants this sauce it's just sugar and starch). Looking through the packaging, definite order issues! I asked for an order of the Crab Rangoons (6) and opened the container and saw 4. Boooooo. Then I noticed I was missing one egg roll; and one cheesesteak roll. Disappointing, as people didn't get what they wanted. I dug in, I was hungry. It's 30 minutes later and my stomach has been turning circles and cramping. Not very excited for what I imagine will be a rough night. I very rarely write super negative reviews, and usually when I do it's because I feel something is egregiously wrong. The portions look decent, and maybe it's an off day for the person checking orders- but I haven't eaten since 2 (7 hours ago) so there was nothing else that could be the offender of my stomach. I'll pass next time and order pizza or italian.

Luxury hot pot atmosphere with the best lunch price value for what you get at AYCE all-you-can-eat for $20. I actually get their hotpot lunch menu at least once a week, like clockwork. Because it's just that good. What makes this hot pot special: Large cooked kitchen menu AUCE included in hot pot price. Including rare items, like; braised tea eggs, sichuan shredded potato, gyoza, Taiwanese style pop chicken nuggets, and more. Unlimited chicken wings, made fresh. And, the wet lemon pepper slaps. Meat portions are so large that I order half portion. Sauce buffet bar here is the best in Georgia. Super clean, refilled often, and even has amazing peppercorn oil 花椒油. Want my sauce recipe? Luxurious and cute interior space, filled with white marble and Tiffany blue tableware. Their house pickles are on the buffet and are super addictive. I eat about 3 large bowls per visit. My only complaint here is that the broths are very mild in flavor and meats aren't the highest quality --- but the value, price, cooked items selection, and sauce bar makes up for it. The beautiful Tiffany blue plating and white marble decor here reminds me of the late and lovely hotpot place in Taiwan, Jiu Zhai Shi Guo 九寨十鍋-中山旗艦店. This is the Buford location only. Other locations don't appear to have all you can eat hot pot. I still need to try their dim sum menu.
