    Super quick and friendly service and great food! This restaurant is clean, modern, and tasteful, with nice decor. The staff is nice and very attentive. The food portions are spot on, and the presentation is perfect. I love the design and natural lighting of the building, and the overall atmosphere makes for a very pleasant place to enjoy a meal.

    Such a fun little gym out in the middle of Elko Nevada! I wish it was closer to home because we would definitely return frequently. Delicious food, large heaping portions, and incredible service that was served literally 5 minutes after we ordered! If you're doing the dinner for two, plan to take home half! Chow mein has yummy chicken chunks that could be an entree, and the ham fried rice is amazing. Staff was very accommodating and friendly, and the inside of the restaurant looks nice and renovated. We had a great experience! Dinner for two was $36 which considering all we got was a great deal! If you wanted to pick just one or two entrees on the side each entre averaged $13 to $16.

    The food was good but my food took longer than expected to make it to the table. Everyone in our party had received their entree and I sat and waited for quite a while. The service was friendly but slow. If you are hungry ask about wait times before ordering.

    Food was ok, sweet and sour chicken had a hard outside. Rice looked old and wasn’t flavorful. Not bad for a small town. But I’m use to big city flavor. The shrimp was good. The servers were nice and came often to fill up the waters and ask if we needed anything.

    First I must say the service was great, loved the teamwork here. I really couldn't tell who was my server because everyone was really helpful. The food was good, I enjoyed the soup. I was hoping the rice came with the entree, I guess you got to pay for everything these days. Ordered two different dishes but they tasted similar. I was confused!

    As a guy who really appreciates both efficiency and quality, I was seriously impressed with this place . The service was super quick and genuinely friendly — no waiting around, no stress, just smooth and professional from start to finish . It’s always a great feeling when the staff makes you feel welcome right away. The food was fantastic too — fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care . On top of that, the restaurant itself is clean, modern, and very tastefully designed. The decor gives it a polished but comfortable vibe , making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, as a guy who notices the details, I can confidently say this place checks all the boxes. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

    We ordered the dinner for three along with a lemon chicken, and it was excellent from start to finish. The flavors were spot on—fresh, well-balanced, and clearly made with care—and the portion sizes were generous enough to leave everyone satisfied. And enough for leftovers. We’ve stopped here a few times while driving from Idaho to California, and it’s become a bit of a tradition for us. Each visit has been consistently great, which says a lot. It’s a reliable spot with delicious food and a welcoming feel, and it never disappoints.

    The family style tofu was good. I didn't expect to get charged for rice.
