My sister and I had lunch here for her birthday and we loved it. While some items were didn't like for our personal tastes and preferences it was overall delicious and reasonable priced. Shout out to Ying for being an amazing server! My sister does not like spicy food, and Ying explained what items they could accommodate to not be spicy for us. She was very personable and we both left with smile on our face from our encounter with her. My sister and I already have plans to visit again the next time were in Charlotte!

I really love the atmosphere at this restaurant. It feels very comfortable to sit inside and enjoy the food. The service is excellent, too—the staff are all so welcoming and enthusiastic. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Thank you! We will definitely be back to celebrate our birthdays here again. Thank you all!

We have frequented this place quite often because we thought it was the best Chinese in town. I repeated my order twice to the person over the phone, who clearly wasn’t paying attention. So not only when we got home with our food did we notice the order was wrong and she did not give us an extra side of pork fried rice, The beef and broccoli, was mainly broccoli. My husband called up to get it rectified, but sounded like the manager couldn’t be bothered. Won’t be ever coming back here again.

Was craving orange chicken and came here to get takeout for the first time. Takeout pickup was non-stop at 6pm, so calling in your order seems the best way to go. The restaurant atmosphere appeared like it would be pleasant for dine-in, but the tables waiting when I arrived, hadn't been served by the time I left, about half an hour later. Maybe they were waiting for other guests to arrive?? What about the orange chicken? Well, because I was sitting there, waiting for it, I was able to take it as soon as it was ready. It was about a 10-12 minute drive to my home and I sat down to eat as soon as I got there. I was hoping to find the chicken tender inside and crispy outside, with a mildly sweet sauce with a little kick to it. Sadly, the breading on my order was soggy, which to me says it was sitting in the sauce in a closed container for too long--that is, it was sitting in the kitchen for quite some time before it was brought to the counter. Given the volume of orders the place was running and given that orange chicken is reputed to be one of their specialties, I wondered if it hadn't been made up ahead of time or with another order, but then sat there while the other order was completed. If so, as this was the only item in my order, it should have been brought out earlier. The sogginess was not due to my drive home, because I've arrived home after basically the same amount of driving with crispy orange chicken from another place a similar distance from my home. As for the sauce, it was ok, better than some because not excessively sweet, but rather uneven, as though the chiles I found in it hadn't been stirred sufficiently throughout. We should not forget to talk about the rice. It is nice that this restaurant offers white, fried, and brown rice options (the latter two for an upcharge). I'd picked white. It was slightly underdone...which also means the leftovers got extra dry. I also added snow peas and carrots to my order (for an upcharge again). I very much appreciated the option to add veggies, rather than having to get a whole order (with still more rice!), which is just too much for me. However, the veggies were way overdone, another sign the order had been sitting, steaming itself, way too long. The upshot is the only way I think I'd give them another shot to see if maybe the food quality could be better is during off-hours. But that kinda isn't the point of takeout....
