    3 piece wings n fries
    Donyiel C.

    Definitely not a fan anymore and won't be returning here anytime soon! This spot has been around for awhile now and back in the day, I came here more frequently. I ordered the chicken wings and fries - both tasted like it was cooked with old oil (yucky). So definitely wasted my time and my money!!!

    It was good in high school when I didn't want the school lunch but now I've realized that the food is subpar.

    Take this review with a grain of salt for many reasons, and considering that I could not rate this…read morerestaurant above a 4. We have been familiar with the area for years, as my father-in-law lived 3 minutes away, and recently we realized this was his go-to carryout. After 3 visits, I can say it's one of the best in the DMV, thanks to its flavor and food choices. You will find Japanese options like sushi, American-Chinese dishes like orange chicken, similar dishes, and Cantonese food like roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodle soups, and whole fish. They are family-owned and operated. Every time we come, the elder father is always gracious and provides excellent service. The restaurant is always quiet; you can hear conversations in the back, and as customers arrive to pick up their orders, we haven't witnessed any negative interactions. Customers are always happy with their food, and the staff say thank you. The only negative is the space. The building itself is older and outdated. In the summer, it is hot, and now in the winter, there is no heat. They have found ways to make it work, like space heaters on each table, but it can still get uncomfortable if you are dining in. The back area near the bathroom and the bathroom itself need a thorough cleaning. To me, it's a turnoff; it doesn't affect the food, but it does affect the dine-in experience. Again, overall, I love their food and believe it's a local gem worth a try.

    The food is awful. We ordered combination fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, chicken with mixed…read morevegetables, wonton soup and crab rangoon and a California roll. We wanted to try a variety of things. Everything was borderline inedible. The rice tastes burnt like it was cooked on a dirty skillet. The sweet and sour chicken and rangoons were both dry and tasted old. The chicken with mixed vegetables was mushy and gritty. The soup was extremely salty and the sushi looked and tasted worse than what you'd get at a grocery store. I guess the only silver lining is we didn't get sick from the small amount of food we did eat. It's very surprising to me that this place is still open. It's also very unfortunate that we don't have even a single halfway decent Chinese restaurant in the area. Panda Express is leaps and bounds above this place.

    Found this place after walking around UMD and looking for a local spot to eat. Saw the reviews…read morehere and went with my mother. I will admit I was skeptical when I drove up to park in another hellish mixed use development. It screamed chain and average from the outside, inside...well I was wrong. Nice decor although with a lot of QR codes scaring me (after wrestling for 8 minutes with QR code parking in back) that I might have to order that way too. Again not. We were immediately seated, super friendly server, the menu was super exciting. Authentic Szechuan dishes and some American Chinese, I wanted a lot! Had some great crab/pork soup dumplings, terrific garlic sauce eggplant, and a standout recommended ghost pepper spicy beef dish with celery, snow pea, peppers. Mom got a shrimp lo me-in. A lot of food brought home. Similar with the couple next to us. Hot pots on the menu, whole fish, so much to try. Flavors great, but especially nice service that made a place that felt like a QR card laden chain a lot more like a homey cozy place.

    Love their soup dumplings. I ask for chili sauce and use a generous portion with each bite. I…read moresuggest eating the entire dumpling in ONE bite. Soo flavorful. Try to eat it before it gets cold tho and pick it up carefully without breaking the dumpling. I use my hands so I can control the pull from the stickiness of the dumpling to the paper it comes on. The other dishes we ordered were chicken lo mein, crispy chicken, wontons, eggplant with garlic and basil, and spareribs. They were good but, the soup dumplings brought me back the same week! The service was good, friendly. What I didn't like that could easily be fixed was since the ceilings are high, the sounds echo or seem really loud and distracting. Staff is probably used to it and probably does not realize how loud all the sounds are to customers. When they clear the dishes at table side, for me it takes me to a loud cafeteria feel instead of nice dinner or lunch. I would suggest to them being mindful of all unpleasant sounds and stacking the dishes on the cart as quietly and quickly as possible, but cleaning them in the back out of site of current diners. I also think more rice at table side. The portions of rice for me is too small. A more heaping bowl would be nice. However, the meal portions are decent. Here for the second time in a week tho! Food was yummy! I was immediately annoyed with the loud clearing of dishes. I wish I could give it a one star for that alone. The acoustics are not good but that would be unfair to do that and unfair to the workers and chef. Definitely, give this place a try!

Service is always friendly and fast, and the food is packed with flavor you don't often find elsewhere Konjac Noodle Salad - Sour vinegar flavor with a nice kick. I loved the little konjac noodle bundles -- super bouncy and great at picking up the sauce. It's a perfect summer appetizer: refreshing with crisp veggies like cucumber and carrot but doesn't hold back on flavor. 3.5/5 Sour Soup Dumpling - Delicate skins with a savory pork broth that leans more comforting than sour. The filling falls apart as you bite into it and tastes like a mix of pork and vegetables. Simple, clean flavors 3/5 Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - My favorite dish so far! The broth is beefy, spicy, and rich with depth -- layered flavors that feel satisfying but not overwhelming. The meat was flavorful and chewy with fatty pieces that melt in your mouth. Loved the chewy, knife-cut-style noodles that soak up the broth, and the pickled veggies plus fresh cilantro kept it light and bright. 4.25/5 Cold Rice Noodle with Spicy Fried Chicken - Super sour but well-rounded -- flavorful without being sharp. I usually don't love rice noodles, but these were soft, bouncy, and satisfying. Surprisingly, the fried chicken stayed a bit crisp even in the broth. It's fried in a way that's drier and chewier, but that concentrated the flavor instead of making it actually taste dry. Great summer noodle dish 4/5 Signature Fruit Tea - Definitely on the syrupy side, which I expected, but still decent. Lots of blended fruit flavors -- sweet, slightly artificial, but enjoyable if you're in the mood for something fruity 2.5/5
