"Familiar feeling Chinese restaurant. Decent selection of Chinese (mostly “American Chinese” with some exceptions) dishes including chicken, pork, beef, duck, fish, etc. Food tastes good and came out fast and piping hot.Both indoor and outdoor patio seating are available. Decor is somewhat casual, typical for a US Chinese restaurant, though not inspired. Dining area was clean but perhaps a little worn.Service was very good, fast, and attentive without being annoying. Parking: Small parking lot on either side of the building can probably accommodate a full restaurant. If you need to use street parking, it is available immediately in front of and nearby. Parking should not be an issue."

I tried to pick up an order for delivery to a customer, but I had to wait for 30 minutes. This restaurant is terrible.

This restaurant was excellent in the past, but now it serves mediocre Chinese food. We paid $180 for dinner for four people. I do not plan on returning.

Nice little place, extensive selection of dishes, fast service, nice staff. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I reserve 5 for something truly exceptional, but this place is very good indeed. I'd love to eat here again.

Don't attempt to order from them on Christmas day! Dont get me wrong i am SO grateful to have them open and provide a meal BUT this is ridiculous! They told us our online order would be ready an about 45 min and our son got there for pick up and waited for over 2 HOURS for the food. When he got back they forgot 2 meals from the order. We love ordering from them but this experience was horrible. View menu

We ordered soup, two entrees, and fried rice. Even after adding soy sauce, the food still lacked flavor. When you prefer Panda Express over a Chinese restaurant's food, there is a problem. The egg rolls were good, but the rest of the meal felt like they did not prioritize pleasing the customers' taste buds. There was no salt, herbs, or traditional Chinese flavors present, making the meal taste plain and boring, almost like a microwaveable frozen dinner.

Come here for a nicely-furnished, attractively-lit and entirely typical Chinese restaurant experience.The staff are friendly and helpful, the ambiance is quiet and serene, the walls are red, the tablecloths are yellow, and the General Tso’s chicken is no better than the best you’ve had elsewhere and certainly no worse than any other plate you’ve eaten. It’s essentially a version of Panda Express which is upgraded in every area. You’ve got to respect the hustle. ??Probably a safe bet for business lunches, impressing your friends from the countryside, and meetings of the local Go league. View menu

Cute, quaint place on Coast Village hiway, with choice of patio or indoor dining. Friendly, low-key, good service, family and kid friendly with all the classic offerings. The cream cheese wontons were delicious, loved the homemade dough they were wrapped in. Braised Peking eggplant was slightly firm for my taste but good nonetheless--definitely not crunchy. Would have liked to taste the sauce more. It didn't really come with much sauce, only what was needed for braising.A large party came in shortly after my meal was served, but server remained attentive.I'd like to try some other dishes so I will return.
