"Family restaurant with character, warmth and so much beauty to walk around and discover. Beauty with the Koi fish and all the elaborate decor is just fun to explore. My favorite (other than the food) is the display of pictures throughout the years…. So much joy, love and happiness has occurred in this restaurant. Family restaurants that do it right are a favorite place to be, for me. — I rarely take a picture of a bathroom (never if a person is there) but this bathroom is clean, beautiful, fully stocked, and again, more memories in picture form to further feel the warmth of this restaurant. Throughout the years we have been here a handful of times and I always felt the same about this pleasant restaurant and liked the food but I had never explored the menu like I did this experience on a Monday at 11 am and I am glad I did as I am now a LOVER of the food and not just the environment. The waitress was super friendly and has been working at this restaurant for 27 years— WHAT???? Wow- loyalty is certainly another indicator of a great restaurant. In any event she was helpful in ordering as I really just wanted a couple appetizers that I had not tried before….I have always wondered what shrimp toast was but never ordered. After reading the amazing reviews about their shrimp toast I was motivated to order but my husband doesn’t eat seafood and it’s a pretty big appetizer and I was getting more food.. the waitress was emphatic about how good they are and I ordered them, as well as, chicken potstickers to split, wonton soup, and chicken fried rice for our kiddo for after school but I wanted to try at the restaurant.. chicken fried rice was good… standard but good standard and I enjoyed it as did our kiddo. The chicken potstickers are not my favorite (in the soup they were better) and I wouldn’t order again but my husband loved them. I am used to the pfchangs and these were very different- felt healthier but just dry…. Again, he thought they were great. The wonton soup was AWESOME and the fact they make it with chicken is so cool as well as we don’t eat a lot of pork so we never do the wontons in most places… Above all though and my favorite new treat -food is their shrimp toast, that I almost talked myself out of ordering…. Holy moly!!!! it was amazing and it was hard to put it down no matter how full I was as it’s toasted perfectly and the flavors are just all really good and while it’s a fried dish it just didn’t feel too oily at all and was just well… perfect, perfect crunch, flavor, texture, dip, all of it…. This toast is why this restaurant will get to know our smiling faces at least a couple times a month…….. When I took all the leftovers home I was excited to share the shrimp toast with our 11 year old as she also loves shrimp. I air fried it to heat it up and it maintained a good amount of the crunch and she LOVED it too… we already have a mom/daughter date to go back. Definitely get the shrimp toast….this was a celebration for my husbands birthday so we went a bit crazy with ordering a variety and this was the perfect restaurant to do this as I fell in love with a restaurant I have always admired and enjoyed going to but just hadn’t found MY dishes :) We (I) will forever order the shrimp toast and wonton soup……. i will keep trying all the main dishes to find my fav and will Update…. Husband got a chicken noodle dish that I can’t remember the name of… he enjoyed it very much and I also thought it was very good (pictured)….like me, he LOVED the wonton soup and he also enjoyed the potstickers… Last note, they serve Pepsi products and while I prefer Diet Coke I never expect a restaurant to have both. Husband asked if they had any while I was at the car and the waitress got me a can of diet Coke with a glass of ice… LOVEd that as any meal is better with your drink of choice. I figured- family restaurant cause someone in their family doesn’t like Pepsi- or just an incredibly considerate restaurant…. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will see you soon…."

"I absolutely recommend this place. The staff were very friendly and very attentive. We also got to meet both the owners who were absolutely lovely. The restaurant is gorgeous inside and out and the food was delicious and well seasoned. We had the Broccoli Beef, Singapore Noodles, Combination Fried Rice, Crab Rangoon’s and bread pudding. Everything was really good and we will absolutely be returning."

"We held a small (4 tables) traditional 10-course Chinese banquet here as a rehearsal dinner and it was so fun and the food was amazing. Our Chinese and Taiwanese relatives, the ABCs and my new American in-laws enjoyed everything and tried many things new to them. The owners Mike and Angela and the servers were awesome and provided great service. They even out our names on their sign outside! I don't usually like dan tat, but theirs was great! If only every Chinese restaurant had dan tat like theirs!"

"My husband and I go here all the time, we absolutely love it! I've also been going since I was a kid. Mike is an amazing man and has stayed generous and courteous for over twenty years that I've seen him around! All of their food is great, the General Wong's is my favorite. Their Crab Rangoon is also fantastic. ABSOLUTELY recommend going here!"
