Their food was still very good, and I was lucky to be there before they close for the summer. Recommendations: Garlic cucumber, clear noodle with dressing, spicy combo pot, stir fried lamb, spicy wonton soup, fish with sichuan pickles The only thing I don't recommend is fried eggplant. Portion was very small for the price ($17), it was stuffed with minced meat which wasn't in the description (I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew) They will be closed from May 25th through Sept 21st, 2026.

We ordered from their already limited dim sum menu which was suppose to be available until 4 pm per their menu. ( we got there around 2:40 pm) Other parties arrived after us yet they were served their food before us. The service was not great. The food was subpar. They even charged me for food they didn't even deliver. When I expressed I never got the food yet she charged me she tried to get me to pay for someone else's food. I told her that was not my bill. I would not recommend coming here. The table was dirty and so was the cutlery. It got two stars because the pan fried scallion tasted fine and my daughter liked it.

None of the vegetables tasted fresh. They were all practically disintegrating. Such a disappointment it's Saturday night and I wanted to treat myself. Do not go here.

We've had soup that had floating white mushrooms... We will be heading back to try some different dishes, as they have so much to offer!

Pun intended but so perfect for her! We were celebrating my 19 3/4 Birthday (x3 LOL). She seated us in a very quaint, part of the dining area, pleasantly seating each guest. Now on to our server, Tony. He was just as professional and polite and welcoming. He ensured our order, drinks and food were all done in perfect timing. Never left a drink empty and constantly ensured we were pleased with our dining experience. Now onto Asia and Tony both, they shocked me with not only an awesomely delicious chocolate cake, but a card signed by the staff. (Thank God they skipped the singing part, you know at 19 3/4 I'm still shy! LOL). Anyhow, i can't leave out the food-but it will be nothing new I write about their food!

The restaurant is hard to find in the huge building and we ultimately had to ask directions but that's a minor detail. And if we had come through an entrance closer to the actual restaurant that might have been different. One thing that gave me pause is you can smell cigarette smoke going through the main casino building but thankfully the restaurant air was fresh with no detectable smoke odor. I suspect a positive air-flow system which is good. The restaurant interior is roomy, clean and pleasant with Oriental style decor which is nice. The staff were warm and inviting right from the person that greeted us at the entrance, throughout our meal and just as gracious upon our exit. We were there during the lunch menu which of course is limited but plenty of appealing choices. I ordered Twice cooked pork which though I have made myself I don't recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. My dish was very tasty with plenty of tender pork slices and filling enough I didn't want dessert. My lunch partner had Kung Pao chicken which looked good though I didn't taste, but he thought underwhelming, bland and average at best. If only going by my experience I would have given 5 stars but I have to take into consideration the opinion of my lunch partner for the benefit of anyone reading this review. I would eat there again but not likely anytime soon as it is an unnecessarily long drive when there are plenty of Asian restaurants that I like within my local area. Good but not 60 mile round-trip good.

We ordered the Tom-Yum soup and Pad Thai today. We usually order their Papaya Salad and Fresh Spring Rolls as our appetizers but we decided to order something new! The Tom-Yum soup is good, but I do believe it's missing some tart/sourness that you'd taste in other traditional Tom-Yum soups, however it's packed with lots of chicken and mushrooms, so that's an A+ in my book! And of course the star of the show, the Pad Thai. You can definitely taste the authenticity of this dish here, it's sweet, savory, nutty, and very aromatic! It was also nice and smoky, you can definitely tell that it was cooked on a wok. They are very generous with their portions as well. All in all, love this place, if you're ever craving Thai food, and you are nearby, My Thai should be on the top of your list :)
