A small, simple and unpretentious Chinese restaurant that does a great business because of the…read morewonderful food that they prepare! Much of the business seems to be carry-out but there is seating inside. I ordered the kung pao chicken and I was extremely happy with my meal - a large portion, great flavors, an appropriate level of heat for a dish that is supposed to be spicy hot, and plenty of those crunchy peanuts! When I'm in the area again this will definitely be my go-to Chinese place. And the staff here are very pleasant. Thanks for the great food!!

Then we ordered pork with garlic sauce, beef lo mein & chicken fried rice. The pork was a little dry but the sauce was delicious with the veggies. Beef lo mein was my ultimate favorite so tender, definitely going back for that. Fried rice was good but my boyfriend wished it was stir fried with more sauce. Throughout dinner we both had two lychee martinis and they were super refreshing. The Service was great as well, owner was very attentive and funny. Finished the night with mochi ice cream and the blood orange flavor was to die for. Great for a date night or solo date!

We really only went to have the Peking duck as it is one of the only places that has it on the menu. We ordered it and then was later told that they were sold out. We were very disappointed, but we ordered some dim sum and other entrees. The soup dumplings were delicious, but our entrees were not. The short ribs had a very off putting texture. It was chewy like rubber and didn't taste like good quality meat. Worst ribs I have ever had. My husband ordered the fried pork belly. It was lacking in freshness, the favor was off, and the texture was not crispy enough. I would only return for the dim sum based on my experience here.

It does not look like much and is definitely not on the better side of town. The place offers a…read morevery American Chinese menu, but it was pretty long on the vegetable and tofu side compared to a lot of cheap Chinese joints, which is what inspired me to give them a try. And their Kung Pao tofu delivered all that I could have hoped of it. A packed full container of finely cubed fried tofu (one hack for anyone that doesn't know how to make tofu taste good: you should probably cut it smaller to give it more surface area to absorb whatever sauce you're cooking it in) as well as some diced carrots, baby corn, and quite a lot of peanuts in a brown sauce with just a bit of spice. I also got some sesame noodles, which is one of the more basic versions of the dish I've had, which is basically just noodles with a dollop of spiced peanut butter to spread around and coat them with. This probably sounds like a dig, but it's pretty satisfying and the noodles themselves had a nice soft texture. It was, as I would expect, a ton of food for the money. Basically the whole interior of this little building was devoted to what looked like a clean and organized kitchen. Fancy? Authentic? No, but American Chinese cuisine is a subculture of its own, and this seems a good example of it. I definitely think it would be worth returning to try their other tofu dishes.

Visited Paradise Cafe recently and had a mixed experience. The space itself feels a bit dated and…read morequite heavy... the lighting is very dark, and even moving the dining chairs felt a bit difficult. A lighter, refreshed atmosphere would go a long way. I ended up ordering a few appetizers. The Hot & Sour Soup was the standout... flavorful, comforting, and easily a 5/5 on a cold n wet day. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite hit the mark. The shrimp rolls were below average... mostly lettuce, the shrimps were dried out, and they took about 10 extra minutes to come out. The crab rangoon was the biggest disappointment; the filling had an unpleasant smell and tasted like heavy, clotted cream cheese and there wasn't even an iota of imitation crab meat to justify that name. My friends ordered egg rolls, which actually looked pretty good (I'd say a solid 4/5), and Singapore noodles, which unfortunately looked underwhelming. Overall, there are a few bright spots, especially the soup, but the food quality and atmosphere were inconsistent. With some updates and more attention to freshness and flavor, this place could really improve.

He was attentive and kind. We enjoyed the lovers plate. Basically, an appetizer sampler. Everything on the plate was perfectly fried. The flavors were good. The Singapore noodles were not what I am used to. Ordinarily it's a green curry, there was no taste of curry. The shrimp were cooked well and it was served with a hot sauce on the plate. It wasn't bad, just not as expected. My dining partner had the paradise fish. A fried filet of fish with vegetables and a sweet sauce. She really enjoyed the meal. All in all, a good experience.
