I ordered the golden spareribs with fried rice, shrimp shumai and an egg roll. The spareribs were delicious, wonderfully seasoned and crispy. Very good flavor. The shumai are fried and were fantastic, especially with the sweet chili sauce. The eggroll was very good too. Overall the food was quite tasty and I would purchase it again.

My parents have been looking for a Chinese restaurant that isn't buffet style for a long time since moving from Michigan where buffet isn't as popular. I figured we'd try this place together since it was on my list to try anyway, we all absolutely loved it. Really great food and loved the atmosphere.

My kiddo had a craving for crab rangoons, and they did not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious and portions were large.

My partner and I really liked this place! We got takeout, but inside the restaurant was clean and relaxing to be in. The service was very good and we thought that the prices were quite fair considering each order was easily enough for two meals for us. We definitely had leftovers! The food was really nice.
