    My fortune.

    Overall, the food was good tasting and a quality product. I've seen other reviews taking about cold food. I'm not sure what that was all about, as all my food that was supposed to be hot was. Tons of steam rolling up from the tables. The ambiance was good, too. I did think the spare ribs were just okay. The meat was a little bland. The outside of the business could really use some TLC. Especially to the rear. It's not so inviting if just driving by. Fortunately, the food made up for it. Now for the price. I would suggest eating in. Dinner was $15.75. Not a horrible price, but it's a bit pricier than fast food Chinese if you are looking to eat cheap. If you get the take out price, it may seem a little cheaper, but you are paying by the pound. I saw one customer who came up with his Styrofoam container, and it cost him over $15.00 because of the weight. And that's only one serving. I went back for three plate fulls. Got my money's worth. But if you're a light eater, it may be fine.

    For a buffet the food is delicious but expensive or buffet style food. They may or may not fill your drink after the first time being dropped at the table but other than that the place is clean which is something you can't Keats say with some of these type places. I suggest the pepper chicken it's my favorite as of late very tasty.

    The food is just okay but an endless amount of just okay is pretty good. Decent variety and staff is quick to refill.

Tommy and I were talking about this place after dinner. We both agreed this place is pretty solid and would stand shoulder to shoulder with any Chinese buffet in Columbus. For around $14 each, we both got plenty of that good, hot and satisfying Chinese food we both love. The place looked clean and the service was very nice and polite. Kudos for keeping up with removing our used plates promptly. We wouldn't hesitate to come back again. 5 stars And Here's Some More To Chew On: * Be sure to try the Shrimp and Vegetables, Breaded Shrimp, Teriyaki Chicken Skewers, Butter Chicken and Chicken and Broccoli. * The only weakness was the Hot and Sour Soup (bland and watery) and the Vegetable Lo Mein which looked to be made with spaghetti. They were not bad, just not all that good. ** If you ever dined at the Hong Kong Buffet in Columbus, this place is basically a smaller version of that restaurant. Same decor, same tables and chairs and very similar recipes are used. Same owners? Maybe...

    Looked up this place before going on our little trip to Dayton and sooooo glad I went! It's a small…read morespot that's connected to an Asian mart and bubble tea shop. There was plenty of parking and signage. They have a varied and very authentic menu to choose from! We ordered a broth based lo mein noodle bowl and a hand pulled cold dry noodle bowl. BF added on a braised egg and I ordered a Taiwanese sausage on a stick. Yum on all accounts! Chili oil was automatically brought to us and the waitress was super friendly as well as bilingual. Food was brought out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. YES!! presentation and taste were perfect. Their prices and portions are reasonable and I love everything about this place, down to their cat portraits adorning the walls! Wish this place opened a location in Cleveland! I saw that they have spots in Cincy and Cbus!!

    A hidden gem in Dayton, of all places. I haven't had many Asian restaurants of any kind that tasted…read moreauthentic in Dayton, but this is one of the few. The noodles are actually made in-house and have a lovely texture. I got the Classic Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup and was definitely not disappointed. The broth is light, but full of flavor at the same time. It is truly very comforting on a cold winter night. I think the beef slices on there are a bit tough, but it's not too big of an issue. The portion sizes are actually crazy. I got the regular size and could finish maybe just half to 2/3 of the noodles, along with a majority of the beef. I can't imagine how massive the large bowl would be... For health, I also ordered some stir-fried bok choy. This was stir fried well, but I'm not really sure what the flavor profile was supposed to be. Is it garlic? Is it spicy? I couldn't really place it. The prices are very fair for the quality of food they provide, and service throughout the night was decent. I will probably be back again, if I visit Dayton! Food: 4.5/5 Price: 4.75/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5
