This place is amazing! The lady is so friendly and extremely good and fast service. The food is outstanding. I Ordered crab puffs and they are the best crab puffs I’ve ever had. I mean half way through dinner I got up to write this review. Now I’m about to dig into the fried rice and I have no doubt it will be just as good. They don’t skimp on anything. 10 stars if I could. This place should be tried by everyone in my opinion

Went here after a long day dealing with car stuff, and I just wanted Chinese-American comfort food to go from somewhere nearby. You definitely get bang for your buck- tow portions were hefty, bursting at the seams of the containers, and everything was carefully packaged and insulated that not only did my 20 min car ride home smell AMAZING, but the food tasted fresh when I got home and plated it. I got 3 huge entrees for less than 50 with tip! Service was fast and super friendly, and the restaurant was clean and tidy. I did not go to the gambling side which seemed pretty bustling. I’m happy with my purchase and wish the hard working service staff all the best! The woman working FOH was so lind, courteous, prompt, and very well put together. She had a nice smile and nice energy, a very beautiful woman! I’ll definitely come by again for a comfort meal next time im in the area dealing with car stuff. Only regret is how much I got for how tasty it is… and for getting too many deep fried items I played a dangerous game lol
