"My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time and loved every bit of the experience. The food is excellent, the service friendly and prompt, and the surroundings are clean and nicely decorated. We shared the fried dumplings, spring rolls, hot and sour soup, and General Tsao's chicken. All the ingredients were fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions were very generous. Our bill came to $450 including drinks, but before tip. We can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious food."

"I’ve been here twice in 1 week already and I drive 30 minutes to get to this place !! It’s definitely the best Chinese food in town . First time I ate at the restaurant but with 2 kids it was impossible to take pictures but this second time we got take out , everything is always so fresh , the food tastes amazing !!!! The place is clean and the costumer service is top notch ! We’ve ordered pork dumplings ( so good !) , spring rolls , chicken Lo Mein ( my fave ) , sesame chicken it’s like orange chicken (really good ) , pork fried rice, chicken fried rice , won ton soup . The first time we went though we ordered some garlic ribs and I will say they were extremely salty and I’m a person that loves salt and even for me it was very salty . That was the only thing . But everything else was AMAZING !!!! 10/10 recommend this place . And when you do take out , they package it very nicely so nothing spills or falls and with utensils . My new spot please open one closer to Caucel so I don’t have to make that 30 min drive"

"I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile and I am so glad I did! The fried dumplings were delicious, crispy outside, filled with ground pork, delightfully spiced with garlic and ginger. Crispy vegetables stir fried and mixed with a perfectly seasoned brown sauce made for a wonderful main dish. I’m so happy to finally have a great go-to place for authentic Chinese food and I can’t wait to return !"

"Hot and spicy is definitely five stars and worth every cent. The food is fresh and made to order. They will customise it anyway you like. I am allergic to all seafood so when I order dishes that are usually made with oyster sauce they customise it to accommodate my allergy. which I really appreciate! I have eaten here multiple times and have never gotten sick from anything they have prepared for me They will make any dish with your choice of meat, tofu or just vegetables. Definitely give this place a try you will not regret it."

"Wow, wow! This could not have been a Better meal. The waitress was so amazing and accommodating. I’m vegan, and she told me they pretty much could make any item on the menu for me. I got The eggplant and garlic sauce and added tofu and broccoli Period. They may be fried rice for me. And everything was amazingly delicious. My friend got the pork fried rice with boneless spare ribs, and couldn’t stop eating. This place is a must go."

"I wish I can give this place 10stars, from food to service let me start by saying while I sold steak for almost 20 years I have spent 2 years now selling Asian food, and my favorite food To go out to eat is always authentic Asian, Thai, Vietnamese and even Laos. Chinese and Indian make it into the list. And this place does Chinese right. After asking a few questions I figured out the chef is a NYC transplant who worked cooking Chinese food for years, In the city outside of china that I have loved Chinese food the most, his skills def shows up in the flavors. I can say, without a doubt, this is top 3 Places I’ve enjoyed properly made Chinese. I wanted soup tonight, and while I love sopa de Lima, I was craving something meaty, and nothing else had a beef soup on their menu. And I’ve never been happier. The beef soup was stunning. I mean, light and hearty at the same time, simple in ingredients but complex in flavor. Wanting an appetizer, he ordered dumplings and OMG the dumplings. The dough was thin and properly rolled, the dumplings FAT with a tasty pork and veggie mix, and the lime ponzu was simple. The dumplings properly cooked, pan seared on one side and steamed on the other. I hate the fact I want to come back and try more dishes when I’m in MEXICO Let’s talk about the service, Carolina and Nevila (I think those were their names) demonstrated true hospitality, with great service. Run, don’t walk, to this spot."
