You order first and then the food is brought to your table. I liked the causal concept. I ordered chili wontons and a salt and pepper porkchop. The chili wontons were delicious. The salt and pepper porkchop showed up to my table and I immediately thought wait this is not correct. I clarified with the staff member and she told me it was indeed a salt and pepper porkchop. Well a salt and pepper is traditionally deep fried so I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I accepted it and although it was not what I was expecting, it was an incredible meal. I thought they gave too much white rice but the overall presentation was beautiful. The minced pork over the rice and the steamed egg were perfect accompaniments. I ordered a milk tea to go and it was only okay. The boba was cooked too long as they were very soft. Softer than they should be. Otherwise, this was a solid choice to dine in the area.

Fried rice is kinda plain but has good flavor, I suspect that you could bump it up by requesting some added veggies but I am satisfied with plain fried rice with a protein. Quick and easy ordering, parking lot is ample and wait time is usually exactly what they say it will be. Not a dine in restaurant so ambiance is okay for a take out restaurant.

This place really doesn't have much of an ambiance and I think there was only a table or two inside. It's not really a dine-in type place - more of a take out order restaurant.

I will say I was very happy to find a place that still sold shrimp toast, and it was good. That is pretty much the end. My wife decided her Lo-mein tasted like dishwater. I got the hot and sour soup and it was unremarkable. I also ordered General Tso's and the Egg Fu Yung. Neither one had any flavor, not good and not bad. The EFY was alright, but the gravy was basically soy sauce. They also didn't have shrimp, just chicken or pork, I believe.

But we were able to get a table fairly quickly. We ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls, which by far for the highlight of the evening. The sauce is addictive and I could have eaten three orders of these. My friend ordered the spider roll and I ordered the volcano roll and the Palmetto roll. The Palmetto roll had honey on it, which I didn't think about but the sweet mixed with the fish was not my thing. The volcano roll was absolutely delicious but know that it's pretty heavily covered in the mayo and eel sauce so if you don't want a ton of extra calories, you could ask for it on the side. My friend spider roll was super fishy. I'm glad we went, but not sure that it would be worth a trip back. The restaurant was clean and nice, but the bathroom has seen better days and there was blood on the walls so it was just really weird. Luckily went to the restroom at the end of the evening. So it didn't impact my appetite.

We politely went to the bar and said in the most polite way possible that we needed to pay for these reasons, and I still tipped......because I am not a dirt bag. It still took another 10 minutes to pay. I am leaving off the name of the server, because people may need the money, but I am pretty sure that the staff and team know who it is, and the problem can be fixed by servers actually writing down orders, so that mistakes are less common, and staff covering down for others. I will happily update this review if I go back in a year or something and they have these easy, and almost cost neutral solutions implemented.

In NH for the same price you could feed a family of four and the food would have bigger portions. This? It could probably feed two children if you get the beef chow mein with rice ( the rice portion is the size of a palm ) and the beef is chewy and rubbery and thinly sliced. The sauce and its squeakiness makes my stomach curdle. And the chicken fingers are the size of my literal fingers themselves! Terribly overpriced, it was not at all enjoyable and I feel like I wasted my money. Never ordering here again.
