    It was enjoyable. I really liked the quality of food, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing I wish is that the dishes were more... Balanced? Like food to... Food you eat. The fried chicken in the picture below was the best fried chicken I've ever had, but the dish was like 80% Chili's and onions. Still. Delicious nonetheless. Will come again.

    Friend was visiting and we wanted good Chinese. The food was just ok - it’s been going downhill since before Jerry sold it (guess this is a new owner?) Way way understaffed for a Sunday of a 3day weekend Not bad - jus blah.

    My experience was good until we had 2 issues with our food that resulted in us just ending our dining experience quickly. It was made correct by the team, and the encouragement to come back was sincere. I will still be on the fence when it comes to returning, but I am willing to give it another shot down the road.
