Never thought I would give this place a low review because it has been consiste toy it has good but I feel like I just wasted $46. I will likely end up throwing most of it away They have redecorated and added a Boba tea area so there is basically no more eat-in tables. Not sure of it's under new mgt. Chicken wings: tasted/looked nothing like chicken I've gotten their before. It was cold, really breaded, and SUPER SALTY. I over salt everything so if I say it's salty, it must be bad. The chicken was sitting in a large foil container so I assume it was fried ahead of time. Or they literally had catering for some items. House LoMein: texture was off, zero flavor. The noodles were kind of sticky/slimy. Egg rolls: $2.95/piece for these tiny things?!?! Cold in the inside, clearly pre-frozen. Shrimp egg foo yung: yes, I'm a weirdo who loves egg foo young it it was inedible. It tastes like it was fried in old oil a few days ago and frozen then re-fries today. Couldn't eat it. White rice: it's bad enough that you have to pay for it separately and it is $$ but it was mushy! ‍ I splurged for New Years Eve so this was $46 of my hard earned money down the drain. I assume that they precooked items (?) due to the holiday rush but they should not ever skimp on the quality of the food, especially when they have a good reputation. I will not be ordering from here again even though it used to be my go-to place...one that I could relay on to be fresh and tasty. I hope that this food is not indicative of how 2024 is going to be. If so, it's not off to a good start.

Tiny, not all the way cooked egg roll The sauce couldn't even save it.

Less than fresh tasting shrimp egg foo young. Ate 1/2 of one, threw rest away.

They were soft but still crispy and still tasted really fresh. The crab rangoons were the little wonton ones but the flavor was fantastic. The beef fried rice had a little zing to it. It also had peas. (I personally hate peas but I also get a small allergic reaction so I pick them out). My husband enjoyed some of the dishes the we shared but I can't remember what they were. He & our toddler liked the Dan Dan Noodles. The service was good and attentive for the most part. Towards the end, our waiter disappeared for a while until it was clear we were trying to pack up. I didn't take pictures this time but we'll be back for sure. This might be our new go-to Chinese spot.

We came just as everybody was leaving, but just as soon as we sat down, all these seat were filled again. Nice lighting and clean.

Would give this six stars if I could. Very good vegan/East Asian food…read more As a vegan, it's so liberating to just *pick* anything off the menu without thinking restrictions. Some food is initiating meat products, like veggie wonton soup, others are just independently good vegan food, like veggie stir fry. Fans of East Asian food will like it too. Despite no meat or animal products, it's is very savory and filling, but also light. I ate two entrees on my first visit in 2023. I ordered cake for desert too. Loved it and it didn't bloat or make me tired, and I wasn't hungry later. Prices are fair too, definitely my new spot.

The food is very good, the hours are inconsistent. Would eat there more but cannot plan well with…read morethe random closures. This is very frustrating. I agree with the other review about the barricade of tables. If they don't want anyone inside (which is fine) then they should install an order and pick up window. Very uncomfortable. We love your vegan food!

He seated us at a booth and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. The bartender was our server and he was very hospitable. My husband drank Sam Adams beer (for only $5. a bottle) and I had Mai Tais (for only $8. each!!!). We ordered a pupu platter for 2, beef lo mein and fried potstickers. The potstickers were absolutely amazing!!! The pupu was very good...especially the egg rolls and crab rangoons. We didn't particularly care for the was the spare ribs and teriyaki was prepared ( they had sauce on them). We really enjoyed our meal and time here and will definitely come again. And when we got up to leave the owner made us sit back down again and made us mai tais on the house!

I also ordered shrimp in garlic sauce. The young ladies that work at the front desk were very nice. Took my order and gave me my food within 15 minutes. Very smooth. The place itself looks really cool and has a good vibe. When I went to go get my sushi I realized they didn't give me any cutlery or napkins. So, I had to run back in there and they gave me these cute little packets with everything that I needed. The the ribs and soup were really good. The shrimp in garlic sauce was just OK. The shrimp and vegetables were definitely overcooked and a little bit mushy. Also, I was surprised it did not come with any white rice. Usually that sort of thing comes with some rice in almost every restaurant I've ever been in. So I would definitely not recommend getting shrimp in garlic sauce. If I'm ever in this area again, I would definitely come back and get those ribs and the wonton soup.
