    Crab Rangoon - you get qty. 6 but I had already eaten 3 before I snapped the picture- yes they were very good

    So this has always been our go to for Chinese for years but then about 6 months ago we went and it was not good and the menu seemed to change. Checked the reviews and others were getting the same vibes as us. We decided to take a break and give them some breathing room because we had heard that it changed owners. We decided to give it another try and oh my goodness it is wonderful again and then some. Just the best Chinese food around. It just can't be beat for quantity, flavor and freshness. Sooo good! I promise you if you are looking for good quality and authentic Chinese this is it. One thing I wish they could do is have pictures of the food beside the name of it so you can see what the dish looks like. When I order from there I will try and post pictures so you can see the items. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words especially for Chinese food!

    Great food and fast service. Short drive from I26. Very quiet dining room. I would like there to have been some music.

    Crispy pork
    Madi S.

    A true hidden gem. Kinda wanted to keep this place to myself but it deserves all the praise. I recommend calling early to make sure they have bbq left, especially the crispy pork. It's only on certain days. It is absolutely delicious. The type of meal where no one says anything because the food is the main focus. Forget conversation, there's glorious roasted pork on the table. The ambiance is casual and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but this restaurant definitely serves the finest Chinese bbq in the area, arguably in the state. Also, the service is always superb. It's family owned and operated. Never had a bad experience!

    Whole duck and Crispy pork prices
    Dinaezha J.

    We ordered a pound of crispy pork, a whole duck, and different kinds of sautéed veggies(green beans, bok choy & yu choy). Everything we ordered was juicy and moist. The crispy pork is so good that we ordered another pound before leaving! They are only taking to-go orders at the moment(5-28-22).

    BBQ Pork on top and Roasted Duck at the bottom

    Today was my first time trying out this restaurant. I've always driven by it but never tried it. I wish I had sooner because it was amazing! Got there close to opening time and we were greeted and served immediately. We ordered the lunch combos of the char siu (bbq pork) and the roasted duck. These dishes were a huge portion served with white rice and sautéed bok choy. The flavor was incredible and, literally, the best roasted duck I have ever had in my life. No lie! And I've eaten my fair share of roasted duck! The meat was flavorful, super tender, and the skin...mmmm... so crisp and juicy and kind of melts in your mouth! My go-to place in Charlotte, NC pales in comparison to this establishment! The prices are on the cheaper side compared to the portion and quality of the food -- pleasant surprise there. As far as ambiance, it's not a fancy date-night type of restaurant. It's a simple setup with either dine-in or carry out options. The best places are the "holes in the wall." Give it a try and see for yourself! I will definitely be going back, sooner than later too!!

    "Half" Roasted Duck. (underneath the top, it was all neck bones ugh)
    Kat D.

    Ordered a half a duck and have never felt so ripped off for $16. It looked and tasted good but it was maybe one fifth meat.The rest was skin and neck bones. They basically just cut the neck area off the duck and said "here is half a duck." here is a tip: don't sell a half a bird if you cant sell an equitable HALF! Would not recommend and won't return. I don't leave bad reviews lightly. They probably assumed I was an idiot that didn't know any better

    I've been on a Cantonese roast duck hunt since moving to Columbia, and I'll say the duck here is the best I've tried so far. The duck skin needs a bit more work, but the meat is tender as it should be. A lot of restaurants tend to boil, freeze, and reheat their duck, but that isn't the case here, which is a relief. I also got the roast pork, and that was on point. Crispy skin and tender meat. Service was fast too. I ordered takeout, so I can't comment much on the ambiance.

    Food was run of the mill Chinese American offering with very little flavor. Service was ok, nothing special. I won't be returning.

    Disappointing "beef pan fried noodles"--don't order. We received deep fried undercooked noodles instead. Pork was okay.

    The best roasted duck in Columbia! The chicken is also delicious, but roasted duck is our one pick!
