Customer Reviews

"I've been for lunch several times and I've always enjoyed it. The amount of food has always left me, my Queen, and my uncle satisfied. I recommend the lunch deals; as good as it is, I don't think I'd pay more than those deals. I have to say, I have incredible respect for our waitress and cook. From my dining perspective, it looks like the whole place is a three-man-show. One waitress acting as table busser and host, one chef, and one manager usually helping with the food. Each time I've been there, our waitress professionally and positively handled the entire room of customers alone with no mistakes."

"Very yummy in my opinion. I've only ever really had Panda Express and this was a huge step above. This food tastes pretty dang good. We got one of the family dinners and got 3 servings for 3 people and it was the perfect amount to feed all of us. We even had a little container to take home. It was the perfect amount. The environment was super loud but that wasn't totally something they could control. Our service was pretty decent. She filled up waters quickly and got our food out fast but just wasn't super happy and seemed like she wasn't having a good day. Overall pretty dang good!"

"Came here on a recommendation and left pleasantly pleased. Got the lunch family plater for 2. Started out with the pork with spicy mustard, followed by spring rolls, then Chicken chow mein, sweet and sour chicken and pork fried rice. We hit lunch time just right. Alao had Sunflower egg drop soup."

"This is my favorite Chinese place I've ever been to! The fried rice is especially amazing! I always get an extra helping because it is so good. The Mandarin has ruined all other Chinese for me"

"Small venue but very generous portions. It was a Friday night so it was very crowded with the dinner crowd finishing up and within about 30 minutes the crowd was down to two three tables. We has a large party of about 10folks, but our waitress had no trouble keeping everybody's orders straight and she was willing to accommodate our request for separate checks. She even gave us the option of ordering from the lunch menu with its reduced portions and prices."

"This is a great hole-in-the-wall Chinese food restaurant. The service today was fantastic. The young lady running the front counter was just awesome. Seating was very fast. Order taking was equally efficient. Appetizer came withing 5 minutes. Hot entrees were served within 10. Parking is easy. Food was delicious. Highly recommend."
