HA - it turned out to really be "onions" and noodles. The rest of the combination wasn't great tasting either. They lost a customer that gets lots of take-out because I won't ever return. Course they have poker machines so that is where they'll make money and not care about inedible food.

The food is fairly typical Chinese food, but it tastes much fresher than many places and the portions are absolutely huge. The staff are very friendly and appreciate new customers. Restaurants are really struggling in our current economy. We will try to go back and support them in the near future. The restaurant is located in a quiet nondescript shopping plaza with a decent number of parking spots. The restaurant is clean, including the restrooms. I highly recommend.

Because I will be back. We started off strong with a table full of appetizers. It was one of those "everyone grab something" moments, and listen... I had been up since 6am, starving, and completely forgot to take pictures until it was basically too late. But trust me, that alone should tell you how good it was. Crab puffs? Gone. Creamy, crispy perfection. Fried spring rolls? Devoured without hesitation. But that salt and pepper shrimp?? LISTEN. It tasted like somebody's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I could've eaten that as my full meal 10 times over and still asked for more. Then came the angel wings... OMG. At this point I was already full, borderline mad about it, because I wanted to keep eating. And I'm not usually a leftovers person....but these? Plus that one last shrimp sitting there? Oh no... they came home with me. And the best part? EVERYONE loved their food. No misses at the table. If you're debating, don't. Just go. And go hungry.

But the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with a warm welcome. The inside is filled with personality, family, and culture, from the decor to the photos of loved ones on the walls. I had never tried Costa Rican food before, so I went in with fairly low expectations. That changed with my very first bite. What looked like a simple plate of beans and rice turned out to be so much more. The food tasted like something made in a grandmother's kitchen, prepared with years of love, care, and tradition. The dishes are simple, fresh, and incredibly comforting, yet somehow addictive. You may find yourself eating well past the point of being full! Overall, dining here feels less like eating at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. The food is made from the heart, and it shows. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you absolutely should. I ordered the Gallo Pinto and smothered it in their delicious homemade green sauce, it was fantastic.

Will be back again and again for wonderful food and outstanding service! The-woman-who-lets-me-live-with-her (thanks Mike) and I hadn't been out to eat in a while. Since the pandemic, we order in more often. I was tired of cooking so I asked if she'd like to try the new Costa Rican place in town. We were there around 30 minutes before closing, prepared to do the polite thing and take our meal back home but we were urged by the owner to sit and enjoy ourselves. We ordered the ceviche because we are aficionados of the citrus-cooked fish and since this was actually going to be fish and not shrimp, we were excited to try. They do not poach the fish in advance (which speaks to the confidence they have in their method and ingredients) preferring to let the citrus "broth" do the trick. The result is amazingly tender fish in a oniony, herbaceous, lime juice cocktail. Since they don't pre-cook the fish, they don't have to make it seem like they've marinated it a long time, so the citrus is more subtle that most of us are used to. It was wonderful, served with chips and the three salsas mentioned in other reviews. I stuck to what appeared to be a habanero salsa, but there was a rich green salsa and a bright red one also. A little dab of habanero on top of a spoonful of fish and onion and tomato, poised atop a chip, is a wonderful thing to shovel, one after another, into your mouth! My lovely spouse had the Chifrijo, a bowl of white rice, beans, cubed pork, a generous knob of avocado, pico de gallo, and chips. Every element was wonderful, though we may ask if we can sub in tortillas for the chips next time, as a personal preference. Since this place is the reincarnation of the rotisserie chicken place that was once across the street, I knew that the chick would be delicious, and it was! Jorge (the owner), retrieved a chicken and went at it with the shears and brought a beautifully prepared, flavorful, thigh and leg because we asked for dark meat. With tortillas, its another assembly project. Escabeche, chicken, a dab of salsa in a warm tortilla? Outstanding! The beans were clearly in a big sack-o-beans in the very recent past, and cooked on site. You can taste the same kind of attention to detail in everything; homemade, perfectly executed, and delicious. Very happy to have a new spot to recommend and visit again and again!

I was surprised first at the amount of food that they give. I ordered a large soup for $7. Any other place it would have been double. My chicken fried rice was completely stuffed in the box.

They were friendly and accommodating with a smile. I highly recommend them.
