    Vegetable lo mein and beef & broccoli
    Jasmine W.

    This is the best Chinese food that I've had in Hampton roads so far. Definitely worth the drive for me. The wonton soup was delicious. We also ordered veggie lo mein, shrimp fried rice and beef and broccoli. It was also great to see that they were taking extra precautions amidst the covid pandemic

    My family went to the Restaurant next door(I don't eat seafood) Service was good and food was good as well.

    General Tso w/ shrimp fried rice
    Portia C.

    The food was definitely good! This combo also came with an egg roll. I will be returning. I took my food to-go, so I was a little unhappy to find only 2 duck sauce were placed in the bag, along with no napkins or a fork.

    6. BBQ Spare Ribs
    Caren H.

    The food is and the staff is very friendly. We've ordered from here a few times and had the bourbon chicken, sweet and sour chicken and the bbq spare ribs. The sweet and sour sauce was delicious and not just a red gel like sauce I've had at other places. The restaurant is clean inside too.

    Listen I know people are going to think I'm crazy for my 5 star rating but I'm basing this review on what it is (a strip mall take out/delivery Chinese Restaurant) and for that reason its a 5 star. I ordered $41.00 worth of food including the Chow Mein, Sesame Chicken, General Tso's. I also got the Singapore Pancit. Let me tell you something..... WOW!!! this was my favorite dish and I will probably get it everytime I order now. It was a basic Pancit (Philippine rice noodle) tossed in a delicious (semi) spicy curry sauce. It had Shrimp, chicken and pork in it. it was just plain delicious. Try to remember what you are ordering and what you are reviewing. This isn't a Michelin Star Restaurant so don't review it like it is. Enjoy and Eat on!!!!!!

    Amazing fried chicken & fried rice

    This is my go to Chinese restaurant it's about 4 mins from my home the employees are always so friendly , their prices are drastically cheaper than a couple other restaurants in the area . My food is always fresh & good . Never had an issue with freshness or taste and they are open late . They also have lunch special Monday -Sunday awesome for people eating on a budget lol

I always get the hot tea, a great start to the meal. Overall, I think the seafood fried rice is okay, I'd rather go for another meat like chicken or beef. They have pancit, which was decent. The mapo tofu is very tasty, but I wish there was more ground beef. Spice level was decent, but I would like it spicier. The garlic eggplant is one of my favsssssss!!!! A sweet soy sauce/oyster sauce taste. The Peking duck is very good, skin is crispy. The char siu pork is also very flavorful. THE WALNUT SHRIMP, it's always a winner. This is my husband's favorite. The white sauce just pairs so well with fried shrimp. The dumplings and Rangoons are thick. The dumplings are covered in sweet soy sauce. Very tasty. The pork belly was crispy just like Filipino lechon. I really enjoyed the custard buns. I do love that they have dim sum available to order all day. We have been here many times, and the dishes are always very good. They put a lot on the plate. This is definitely a place for family style. A must try!! We will be back.

I called earlier in the day to see if we should make reservations, but was told they wouldn't be busy. Well, we got there and while they had plenty of tables at 6:30PM, but 7PM that place was completely packed! They had lots of carry-out orders happening too, which all made the kitchen a little slow. We ordered many dishes to share and all started coming out one after another over the next hour until the beef & broccoli was the last dish. Again, I attribute the slowness of the kitchen to their being so busy. At least all the food that came out was very fresh, tasty, and piping hot. Some interesting items that were quite good were their potatoes and green peppers. This dish is something I've never seen before but was pretty good! It features long julienned potatoes that they clearly soak in water before wok'ing with the peppers - that was all that was in the dish, but it was still tasty. Their Fish in Chili Oil & Bean Sprouts was really tasty and fresh! The fish is flounder. Their spicy wontons in chili oil were very popular with our group too. Service here was friendly too and helpful. Like I said, we tried many items, so many more than I just outlined and all were nice. I'd definitely return for a slightly more elevated Chinese menu from what you get at the typical Chinese-American joints.

While the exterior of the establishment appears quite understated and traditional, the interior is an absolute masterpiece utterly breathtaking from the moment you cross the threshold. My friend had very wisely arranged a reservation for me in advance. As I was dining solo tonight, I chose a beautifully convenient, intimate table that allowed me to fully take in the surroundings. The attention to detail here is extraordinary; the serene atmosphere, the curated decor, and even the traditional Chinese attire worn by the staff create a thoroughly immersive and sophisticated experience. I found it deeply admirable. The hospitality was nothing short of impeccable. A wonderfully gracious waiter welcomed me with immense warmth and escorted me to my seat, demonstrating a top-tier standard of service throughout the evening. To begin, I treated myself to a Lychee Cocktail my absolute favorite and it was mixed to perfection. Following a most pleasant conversation with my waiter, I decided on the Soup Dumplings for my main course. They were a absolute revelation extraordinarily fresh, delicate, and bursting with rich, complex flavors. It is no exaggeration to say that this establishment feels like a hidden paradise rediscovered. Between the flawless service, the stunning ambiance, and the culinary execution, it receives full marks from me. A magnificent experience

I found maybe 4 at most. It was also disappointing most of the sauce was on the bottom. So it's imperative you stir everything from bottom up upon receiving the order. The top layer tasted like it had barely any seasonings because of it. I wish I had known the meal came with copious amounts of mushrooms. I otherwise would have specifically requested the order be made without the them. I am not a big fan of mushrooms and especially the fragrant kind like the shiitake variety. I feel like I had mouthfuls of mushrooms in each bite and that's all I tasted. Perhaps I will order something else they are more known for the next time I believe they specialize in Szechuan cuisine.

We also didn't get our fortune cookies..in either bag..so no fortunes for us I guess. We've come here a lot over the years, but unfortunately this will be our last time as they refused to correct the situation before my husband left.

My family and I (5 people) came in to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday dinner and there was nobody but us in the restaurant. The first thing I noticed was the server. He was dressed in jeans, hooded sweatshirt, a beanie and had a toothpick in his mouth. A bit out of the ordinary but to each their own for proper attire in what I would deem a upscale-ish restaurant. The real issue was him taking our order, seemed rushed. As we were deliberating and figuring out what we wanted. My girlfriend was talking about the scallion bubble pancakes. He came over and said, "I overheard you said the scallion pancakes, did you want to put in that order?" My girlfriend said no, she wanted everything to come out all at once. He said ok and then we walked off. Next thing we know, the pancakes came out WAY ahead of everything else we ordered. By like 15 minutes at least. When my girlfriend said something about it, the waiter said, he said outright " I never heard her say not to order them, she never said anything, and they are out right now". No apology, no I'll go ahead and fix that...nothing. When we we on the way out, we talked to the owner about the experience and the only thing he mentioned was that, the server was new and it's hard to find good employees because they revolve so quickly. Which wasn't really an answer at all. It was definitely a 180 degree turn from the first experience we had here which was 5 stars all around. I think given the experience, we unfortunately won't be coming back
