    Excellent Asian cuisine!! Had been wanting to try this place for a few months the now and finally did it! Let me tell ya, it did not disappoint! We did walk-in and ordered to go and probably waited about 15min. They were taking calls and helping others dine-in and were very attentive and super nice. The place is a bit small but big enough for a quick, delicious, fulfilling meal. We ordered the Sesame chicken (10/10), Generals Tso's (10/10), Mongolian Beef (10/10) and Chicken Lo Mein (10/10) everything we ordered was delicious!! It was fresh AF and the sesame chicken had the perfect crunch! They all came with a side of rice (white or fried). All the orders came with a generous amount and now we have plenty for tomorrow.

    It was better than I expected to be. The place don't look just ok from outside but inside is clean with a simple/good decor. The local is inside a mall and have plenty parking. The server was attentive. The food came out very promptly. The orange tofu was delicious! The Kung Pao was also very good. ***Like many other Chinese restaurants in Colorado, they call fried rice to a brown rice with soy sauce and egg. Disappointed, but I'm getting used to it...

    Always had a good experience here. The typical Chinese food but massive portions! It's good quality too, doesn't feel cheap or taste like it was made all in one giant vat. Not overly salty or greasy either. The boba tea has a tendency to be icy compared to other places I frequent. Maybe a bit more flavoring and a scoop of less ice and it would be spot on. Delivery and takeout so I've never dined in. Some reviewers mentioned poor customer service on the dine in experience. I've called and been quoted a proper time for delivery or ten to fifteen minutes for pickup. No issues and my order has always been correct and prompt. Extra napkins. Forks and spoons. Accessories for soups. Soy sauce and fortune cookies wrapped nicely. Big fan of their vegetable fried rice. Spring rolls are nice too but the sweet and sour sauce has a bitter taste to me. Thing it's processed from a bottle. They also do phò but I haven't tried it yet. Just chicken, Pork, shrimp, beef, and everyone we've ordered for has enjoyed it immensely. Worth a try!

    Great sit down and good price for lunch!…read more This place is located next to a gas station so be very careful when looking for parking. A lot of other cars just zooming in and out. The service was friendly and kind, happy to answer any of our questions we had about the menu, my friend and I both got lunch specials. I got the sweet-and-sour chicken with fried rice with egg drop soup. The wait time was relatively quick, the soup came out first and it was hot and fresh. It was a classic egg drop soup. The entrées then came soon after. Everything was hot steamy and fresh! I really enjoyed my sweet-and-sour chicken and fried rice. Nothing really stood out, but it wasn't bad either. It's definitely a good go to place when I wanna sit down with a friend for lunch. The price was great for all the food that we got and my friend couldn't finish her so she even got some leftovers. There's a lot of construction going around Arvada right now and this place was free from construction. I think I would definitely go back just because of the convenience of getting there and parking.

    I visit Denver more often now and I stay in Arvada. Tried this place the other day and was…read moreexpecting average but I was wrong. it was very good. I have fired rice and it had an excellent flavor profile and was very fresh. the staff was nice and it is a great little place to run in and get a good meal. not fancy, just really good.

    We used to eat here about weekly: The prices were reasonable (although they since have risen…read moreDRAMATICALLY!!) and the food was good. But we stopped going because of poor service. For most of the time, the main service problem was that the chief waitress was often obnoxious and loud. But we put up with that until they committed an act of rudeness such that I had never experienced before in a restaurant. The events occurred on an evening in which we brought guests with us: two other adults and their two small children. They had a series of take-out orders that evening, which they were prioritizing over in-restaurant customers. For about a half hour the staff simply refused to take our order, telling us to wait and order later. Eventually, they agreed to take our drink requests---which, except for water, never came. Meanwhile, people were coming in and picking up food regularly, while we sat there and they refused to even let us get into the order queue! Finally, after we'd been there at least 45 minutes, the kids were hungry and restless, so we started to leave. The waitress saw us leaving, and came over and disingenuously asked whether we wanted to order now. We said that because of the children we couldn't wait any longer, and we left. This contemptuous treatment of faithful in-restaurant customers was too much for us, and we have never gone back.

    LOT FOOD FOR A GREAT COST!…read more We were HUNGRY! My Aspen (service dog loves shrimp!!) I'm the Veggie, and we were searching for a place rather close. Searching the area, we found a quiet unassuming, in a quiet neighborhood strip mall, simple place. Read the reviews, Hmmm sounds interesting. When entering in an off hour, there were other people filling the tables, "it must be good! With others' here at this time" What I found; Huge portions of lunch time food at a very reasonable cost! The Egg Drop soup was EXCELLENT, The Shrimp, well my Aspen devoured after I had one, it was plump - tender and flavorful. The Veggies, this is MY YUM and PLENTIFUL!! Fried rice - not so fried rather a steamed rice with soy, the egg roll was crisp, smaller than others (seems to be the new fashion these days) filled with wonderful veggies. Did I mention the Egg Drop Soup was DELICIOUS!!!! Our Server required being won over- at first, need to win her over with some compliments, then she smiled and giggled. This was LUNCH menu and it is plentiful and reasonable cost! The place is very clean and ample seating. Meals come quickly, be prepared. No outside seating, and it's a chilly October day. Open 6 days weekly, from 11AM till 8 or 9PM Price, extremely reasonable!!! Convenient Parking in Front. And take out is available with phone in first, or order while eating some delicious food. Definitely recommended if your in the quaint neighborhood an hungry.
