    I have been coming here to get my food for at least 3 years now. Management is always friendly and pleasant. The place is always neat n clean. The food is always good n they do not charge extra for more bean sprouts or scallions when I place my order. I like my broccoli double steamed n extra gravy on my rice with my beef and broccoli. I'm from NY so there is certain style n flavor for Chinese food that I look for. I brought my daughter here when she visited from Cali n she was very pleased with her food order n the price. She wished they had place like this where she lives. Sadly they only have Panda Express

    My go to take out spot for Chinese food in the Tricities area. I have been a regular patron for over a decade. There are a few tables for dining in. Although the place could use an update. Some of my favorites include egg drop soup, chicken teriyaki sticks and their chow fun noodles. Lunch specials are a fulfilling portion. Only thing missing are the fortune cookies.

    Sorry for the messy table but it's the only one I grabbed  You can see the white food prep container, the soup and rice.

    We ordered a family meal it came with 2 soups, 2 entree, 2 rice containers and 2 egg rolls, we added chicken Lo mein. The portions were big, the containers they came in were the plastic food prep containers which is awesome, the egg rolls weren't soggy with oil, the Lo mein was really really good the chicken in it was kind of weird but didn't bother me too much. I think next time I'd just get vegetable Lo Mein. Over all experience was great, they were open on Christmas which was so great!

    I been eating at this restaurant for a long time. I have tried many items from their menu and their great! Their fried rice is not greasy, fresh and made to order. Upon your order they make your protein aswell. I love their Crab Rangoon, crispy, creamy and smooth not heavy great taste. Their meat taste fresh. They are super busy during lunch time but they still get your food in a reasonable time.

    My favorite Chinese food in VA by far!. Staff is friendly and have good rapports with the community.Tried their dragon and Phenix for the first time which was extremely delicious and fresh. They gave a good amount of chicken and decent amount of shrimp. The shrimp lo mein was a also fresh and delicious, oh and they also have bean sprouts here which seems extremely hard to find in Chineses restaurants down here in recent. All and all great food and taste almost as good as my NY Chinese food.

    Stopped by for lunch today since I have been kind of disappointed with my old sandwich place. This…read moreis definitely going to be my new go-to lunch spot. The parking situation is surprisingly easy for a downtown area, there were so many parking spots back behind the building. The vibe here is very peaceful and pleasant. There are tons of well-maintained live plants, plenty of colorful tapestries, a beachy blue and sandy brown color scheme, and a ton of fairy lights and fake plants decorating the walls. It is exactly how my house looks, and I love it. The food is amazing. We opted for a smash burger with bacon, a cheesesteak, a turkey bacon pesto sub, and a basket of fries to share. Everything was so ridiculously good. The bacon was thick and so crisp, which is exactly how I like it and it added so much texture to everything. The subs are thiccc and so good. They do not skimp on the meat here. The burger was awesome and definitely add bacon if you order it. The fries are perfect! They are slightly thicker than shoestring, and so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The basket was the perfect size to split between three hungry adults. The service was great, everyone was friendly, the food came out really fast, and refills were brought pretty promptly. I will DEFINITELY be back again and again, this place is awesome.

The sandwich's are great. Our table got the cheesesteak, the turkey bacon pesto, the Italian and the roast beef. The cheesesteak was great- it was pretty cheesy, if I was ordering for myself I would ask for slightly less cheese but really it was perfect and piping hot. Everything else was also good as well. It's a little pricey but it was good. I wish the sandwiches/subs did include a side for the price. We will be back. Side note-Everclear was playing when we sat down so extra points for good jams.

Interior (8/10) - The inside looks good but the chairs at the glass tables were a little too tight for me so I decided to sit at the bar which was a good choice. The chairs at the bar felt a little wobbly but I didn't mind. I sometimes drive past this place during the night and it's always packed so I guess it's best for a post work visit. Service (8/10) - The staff were extremely friendly and on top of things and it's a local restaurant so I not going to complain. Food (9/10) - and now for the main attraction, the food tastes pretty good. I had the Crab Cake Sandwich and it was seasoned and savory. My friend ordered mozzarella sticks and they were the best mozzarella sticks I've had so far, crisped and cheesy to perfection. And the crab dip was pretty decent, too creamy and juicy to my taste (No Diddy). Overall, this place doesn't come off as a place for dinner for me but it's the perfect place for Lunch. 8.5/10
