    Beef and broccoli combo, large lo mein, orange chicken combo and large won ton soup
    Bailey G.

    We ordered the beef and broccoli combo, large lo mein, orange chicken combo and large won ton soup. Good service and quick turn around. Lo mein is kind of bland. Won ton soup, egg roll and fried rice are very good! Beef and broccoli sauce was burnt but not bad. The flavors that I could taste make me want to order it again. Orange chicken is made with chicken breast which is a nice surprise. The sauce is very sweet and not at all spicy. Not bad, just wished there was some heat.

    Where to begin. So the chicken is made with chicken breast and it doesn't taste so bad but it's drenched in The sauce and it's so spicy you can't even taste the chicken. The lo mein barely has any noodles in it, it has everything but noodles. The rice is very bland and the broccoli isn't cooked. The only good thing about the food was the Egg roll and the sweet lady working the register.

    Food sucked, counter service was rude, and they wouldn't even serve me tap water. I should've gone to Panda Express.

I didn't understand the prices until the food came out. The shrimp and scallops were HUGE. I mean the size of a crab cake almost. The quality and freshness of the seafood makes this place next level. The portions are also large and shareable -- for 2 ppl we had leftovers. I fell in love with the Chinese mustard sauce they put on the table. Added the perfect touch of spice / heat. They have a full bar but they made me a nice grapefruit cocktail I enjoyed.

While waiting for my party to arrive, I perused the wine menu. It was quite extensive. I think an oenophile would be quite happy with the selection offered. I had a Cotes du Rhone (Alain Jaume, $12) that I thoroughly enjoyed. The menu is adequately sized, but I would not say it was extensive. If you are looking for your favorite Sunday eve dish, you may not find it here, but you won't have a problem if you can pivot to another preparation. Dishes ordered at my table were a spring roll, a house special wonton soup (very flavorful) and lobster dumplings for appetizers. If I can be nit-picky, I'd suggest that they change the size of their dishes to smaller plates and bowls. The food looked puny on the large stark-white plates without a garnish, but all the flavors were spot on, so does it really matter? I actually think it does because you can tell that the owners take pride in the details of their establishment. For entree's, we ordered a spicy shrimp dish (4 jumbo, crisp shrimps came in the order), a Grand Marnier crispy beef (4 large pieces), a house fried rice with nuggets of char siu pork, tender baby shrimp, white meat chicken, egg and vegetables and a special of wok fried string beans which was by far the standout of our meal. After supper, we ordered some tea. It was somewhat weak in flavor but that could have been our fault; we did not let it steep long enough. The waiter came by with a tray of delicious-looking cakes to choose from but we declined. Every person that we encountered was nicer than the next. The waiters were knowledgeable and paced our meal well. Prices are not inexpensive, and reservations are definitely suggested. They do takeout as well.

It's in a different type of location -- a very small strip of businesses with only a few spots in front -- in the middle of a residential location. We were driving by between lunch and dinner and decided to stop to bring some food home for a later meal. When we stopped by, we got to meet the owners and chef. They were both very welcoming and friendly. He told us about some special meals and made suggestions. He was preparing some blue crabs for his own lunch, and they looked wonderful. You can get some special meals here, off menu, if you preorder. We went with a couple of our usual choices so we could see how they compared. We ordered some pork with Chinese vegetables and an order of Singapore rice noodles. Plus, for me an order of egg roll. The rice noodles were such a large portion that it filled two containers. And we wound up eating several meals from our take home food. The eggroll was very good. I ate one right away! There were two to the order. It had a different crispy wrapper -- it seemed house made. And it was filled with larger bits of meat. I really liked it. There was a lot of large flat pork slices in with the vegetables. In a brown sauce, there was broccoli, bok choy, pea pods, etc. It came with a side container of white rice. The rice noodles were fragrant with curry, but it only had a slight kick (as in not too spicy). There were lots of shrimp, chicken, and pork strips mixed in with the thin noodles. This dish was addictive. We are so glad we stopped to try them. Really one of the better Chinese places we've tried and certainly one of the better take-out places. Wish they were closer, or we'd be there more often.

    Delicious and so kind. I got the chicken and broccoli dinner combo. Will definitely be back!read more

The staff are always kind and welcoming, and you truly feel like you're transported to Thailand from how authentic the food tastes and the vibe in the restaurant. This time around there was barely any parking available in the shopping center but luckily there was only a wait of about 20-30 minutes. We were seated, greeted and served very quickly. This time around I came with a few friends and to start we had the papaya salad (not spicy {we forgot to add spice}), and the chicken wings. Both dishes were very fresh. As my main dish I ordered the Pad Woon Sen with shrimp and one of my friends ordered the Pad Thai with chicken (spicy). Both dishes were incredible and I would order them again.

The only thing I didn't like about it was them hurrying us out. As soon as we finished the food, the waitress asked us "nicely" to leave so they can service the other people waiting. We weren't planning on lingering, we hadn't even finished our drinks yet, so it felt a little rushed. When my friend decided to finish her wine before we got up., they stood around staring at us until we were uncomfortable. I will come back for the great Thai food. Just have to set my expectations that it's not a dinner experience.
