Si vous aimez une nourriture fade, un service indifférent & une atmosphère de cafétéria, ce restaurant est pour vous !
Les trois plats que nous avons commandés n'avaient aucune saveur & le canard croustillant avait des relents du réchauffé.
Nous n'y retournerons jamais.
The service lady was soooooo rude, threw the bills at my friend & it was enough to say i'd never go back. Quality of food has changed a lot & won't recommand. Sorry but it was the worst experience in a chinese restaurant. 0/10

My friend & I went for dinner & we ordered the general tao chicken, small portion of rice, & the beef in black bean sauce & rice noodles. The food was really good & the portions were big, worth the price. The general Tao sauce was delicious. Beef well cooked. We stuffed ourselves, the food could have easily made nice sized meals for 3 people.
This is a very very nice chinese restaurant. The food taste really really good, the right amount of everything. The only part i didn't like, i place the order in 1 but it came in 3, 5-10 minutes apart. The atmosphere was good overall. I do recommend & i would absolutely go back.
Love this place. Been here twice ..first time got the sesame beef with chicken fried rice; delicious. Second time went with my bf & we had peanut butter pork dumplings & the spicy honey beef which were good, & we got the short beef ribs which we didn't like bc of the lack of meat it had too much fat.

Nous étions 6 pour le temps des fêtes & la table était pleine. Nous nous sommes gâtés dans tous les plats qu'il y avait à notre table. Un festin, un régal & un excellent saké.
This is probably one of the worst Chinese food experiences I've ever had. The service is lousy & the food isn't much better. The server was super pushy & wanted us to order everything at once - but they bring the food out one or two things at a time over the course of 45 minutes - for a table of 6 people. The server never checks in to see how things are going & has to be flagged down. Some main courses came out prior to all of the appetizers coming out. The rice dishes were cold long before my beef with Chinese broccoli was finally cancelled because it never came. The servers are constantly trying to take dishes away too before you're even done with them. I would absolutely not recommend anyone ever dine here. The tablecloths have tears & holes in them. They take unused plates & bowls from the table that guests have touched & just place them back in the stack of clean dishes in the middle of the restaurant. It was not even a little busy in the restaurant for the holiday. They had plenty of staff. Such a disappointing NYE experience at 5:15pm. The only good thing was that they seated us before our 6pm reservation.
You must order Shanghai noodles. They are so delicious that I actually have food cravings for them. The portion is enough for two people so you can either share or take home for a lunch next day. Very friendly staff, & did I mention the Shanghai noodles?
Food was on point & reminded of Sammy's from NYC. Food was fresh & hot. I got more than expected for what I paid. Service was really nice. When I got there, the kitchen was about to close but they were mad cool & still prepared my deal. Got a glass of water for even waiting. Will definitely come here again.
The service is efficient. They have it down to a science. Each table has a pitcher of cold ice water that is always filled & a teapot of tea that that is ready. The food comes out fast & the servers are attentive.
The food was okay. I wasn't wowed by anything but it was fine. I do think that it is overpriced for what it is but that's the case with most things nowadays.
I think this restaurant is best for groups where each person orders a dish & everyone shares. It is more expensive for a single person or a couple.
