    They have true well cooked authentic Chinese cuisine. Unfortunately it's carry out only with the inside of the restaurant is beautiful. Call first because everyone and Joe's cousin goes here for carry out. Once you order one for you'll be back.

    My first time ordering and I was not dissapointed. I only gave 4 stars because not long ago I tried the same exact thing at another Chinese restaurant and it was tad bit better. Price was a little higher than most but the Veggie Lo Mein was good. Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. They no longer have dine in service but the seating area was cozy and had traditional type Asian decor which I found nice. The person who took my order over the phone and checked me out was also very kind. Ill go back.

    Although I wouldn't call this a traditional Chinese food (In which this is an exception) I'm sure if you ask they may provide it for you. Otherwise this is a WOW! In food, taste, decor and cleanliness. My wife and I will go out of our way (a 20 to 30 min drive) to go here. Highly recommend this place.

    I miss being able to dine in, the inside of this restaurant is so beautiful and clean. The food is good but I haven't eaten here in a while cause it's too far for carryout to justify ordering here.
