    A sign showing the truth.

    No dine in. Cooked food only. Basic Chinese menu. Take away only NO SUSHI HERE! Siri insists this is a sushi restaurant. Yelp insists this is same. It IS NOT!

    Lunch and dinner specials

    The restaurant had one table of young ladies and a gentleman making their sushi when I stopped to pick up a carry out. A homeless man asked me for money on my way in. The food was fresh. They offer crab rangoon in place of egg rolls in the combination dinners, so that is a nice option. The Hot & Sour soup was full of vegetables, but meh. No spice, no sour, just bland. The crunchy fried bites to go in the soup were included. I had Szechuan chicken and the spice level was perfect. It had way too much green pepper for my liking. The side of fried rice is just rice, no meat unless you choose to upgrade. Overall, nothing to rave about, nor repeat.

    Brand spanking new! This is a Chinese restaurant that has been open about 3 weeks. When I walked in the lady working the counter was very personable and helpful. I told her that I had never been in before and so she explained the portions and finding what I wanted, which was almond chicken, rice and a side of steamed broccoli. One thing I liked is that with the combo that i ordered, I had the option between egg roll or crab Rangoon. Unlike Many places just throw a stale greasy egg roll in without even asking... The food was great, especially the crab Rangoon.! I was disappointed that I had accidentally ordered fried rice instead of steamed (the menu DOES specify that fried rice comes with the combination plate), but it was actually pretty good. The portion was adequate. Prices seemed reasonable and they have wifi. I did not dine in, but the dining area was kinda cute for a take-out place. The lay-out looks more like it should be take-out, but the decor seems to lean toward trendy... This would be a good place to dine-in for lunch. They also advertise a sushi bar. I will definitely try this place again.

    First time I attempted to try this place despite my hesitation based of other reviews! Absolutely disgusting! I order general Tao tofu. It was definitely cooked over and over again. I could knock the tofu on my dining room table and it made a knocking noise. Tried a bite horrible. I called to follow up. The owner was beyond disrespectful. Refused to remake or refund. He told me to call the police or my credit card company and proceeded to call me a psycho. At no time did I disrespect him just expressed my dissatisfaction for old food I was served! Don't waste your money. As the owner said there are other Chinese restaurants! There sure are! And much better. The picture attached honestly does this dish 100000% justice. The tofu looked like Dinosaurs bones. LooAlso ordered a spring roll was given an egg roll. I'm a vegetarian.

    Don't eat at this restaurant. I found a bug in my food and the owner accused me of putting it in there and refused to give me my money back.

    Kung Pao Chicken dinner. Yum.
    Carolyn E.

    I've only been once, but it's solid American Chinese food. I had Kung Pao chicken, and it was quite tasty. The veggies were fresh and not over-cooked, the chicken was tender, and the sauce was good. The egg roll was just ok, but I ate it. The rice is plain but cooked well and not greasy. It's clean and spacious inside. Will definitely be back because it's so close.

    Sesame Chicken w/fried rice
    Jassmine N.

    Today's Lunch I ordered the Sesame Chicken with crab ragoon and an order of sushi; salmon avocado roll. The order took less than 15 minutes to prepare. I immediately dived in to get to my sushi roll; I've been thinking/craving it for over an hour. Upon entering the establishment, the ambiance and environment was clean and inviting. The staff was friendly and helpful. I immediately got the impression I would be in for a great experience. I even saw a sushi bar to the left of the entrance, which made me feel a lot better about trying what they had to offer. Upon receiving my order and opening up my sushi I noted the presentation was good, 6 rolls a side of ginger and wasabi. I couldn't wait to eat it. I mixed my wasabi and my soy sauce as I usually do and ate my first roll. I was caught off guard by the cold texture. It reminded me of refrigerated sushi ...and I despise refrigerated sushi! I ate a few more bites just to make sure because I never cannot eat sushi, unless if it wasn't fresh and had been sitting in a cooler of some sort. Needless to say, I didn't finish it and I was highly disappointed that my first impression of this restaurant did not meet my expectations. The Sesame Chicken and fried rice tasted like mall food court food that was sitting under a heated lamp. There wasn't any indication that the food was prepared fresh, aside from it being warm to touch. :( I wasted $15 and only ate a few bites....now what am I going to eat for lunch! I'll pass on this one and stick with what I know next time.

    Pork lo mein, more like stir fried pork ramen
    Sarah K.

    WTF was not expecting the lo mein to be stir fried ramen noodles. The Szechuan chicken was just alright, nothing special to be said. I did however like the complimentary cream cheese rangoons that come with the lunch combos. Also was pleased with the generous lunch portion sizes.

    The Mongolian Beef Dinner. Excellent tasting, quality and portion.

    Stopped in for happy hour and I kinda hate how much I enjoyed it because of how pricy it is during…read morenormal hours. We were promptly seated just after the happy hour began and there were some tables taken up already. Service was excellent. Very attentive and helpful. We ordered the ribs, fried chicken bites, and then each of the happy hour sushi rolls. The stars of the show were the ribs and fried chicken. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. They weren't too sugary either, but definitely had some sweet to them. I'm not a huge rib guy, but these were special. The fried chicken was equally delicious. It came with a sauce that was very good too. Would go back just for those two items. The sushi was good, but not the best I've had. My favorite was probably the shrimp tempura roll. Spicy tuna roll was pretty good as well. Because of how good the ribs/chicken were, this gets a 5 star. The happy hour pricing was very reasonable. Normal pricing a bit rough.

It really added to the whole experience. For starters, we shared the hamachi and crispy rice, both of which were fresh and delicious. For mains, we got the pork ribs and the chicken fried rice, and honestly, the fried rice was a highlight. The panko-crusted chicken pieces in it were such a clever touch. The ribs could use additional flavor (think more ginger-soy). I also loved the cucumber mocktail, which was so refreshing and a great option if you're not drinking. We'll definitely be back if ever in Birmingham! Copy review Even shorter

I ordered a sake sangria that just tasted like peach schnapps and pineapple juice. There was supposed to be cranberry juice in it but the drink was all yellow.

They cooked my food in the kitchen. Long story short the dressing on the salad must of had gluten because I didn't feel well for the next few days..this was confirmed when I went back for Father's Day and this waitress told me I could not eat it. I asked them if they could cook it in the back and the waitresses response was "they get mad when we do that he can cook it on the grill separate." I said I have celiac disease nothing can touch and she assured me. I ate it again against my better judgement (that's my fault for trusting) and instantly felt my mouth start on fire which happens when I am cross contaminated. I tried to figure it out and then realized I didn't catch the fact that while they cooked my food first for each round...they used the same utensils throughout. My own fault for trusting them twice but they truly just don't take allergies serious. My mouth is now going to be open wounds for the next two weeks. I'm praying that's the worst of it because I get brutally sick if I am glutened.. if I accidentally ate it straight then I will be in the ER within the next few days. Everything else seemed good but do not go here if you have severe allergies. They do not take them serious.
