    We tried this place out for the first time tonight, and it was pretty good. The main courses were very good, but the hot and sour soup was lacking in flavor and anything but egg ribbons. The woman who took our order was very nice and recommended different items to us. Service was very fast, and the take-out order only took around 5 minutes or so. The inside of the building seemed very clean, and the decorations were tasteful. I hope to come back again to try some new things!

    Pretty decent Chinese food especially for a small town. Food tasted great, prices weren't bad. Only bad thing I'd say was not enough white rice. But I love my white rice and so does my kid.

    This is a restaurant that has been here for quite some time. I enjoy their hot tea and Chinese food very much. It’s always nice to see a familiar face when you go out to eat. It’s a family owned restaurant and everyone is friendly.

    I've been coming to this restaurant my whole life and I've always experienced a wonderful time here. They are always so kind, the restaurant is always clean or being cleaned, the food is wonderful. I will always recommend this place to people and always give it a 10/10

    The food in this restaurant is outstanding. When I drive up from Kansas City to visit my family I always drop by and enjoy some of their delicious food. The service is friendly and makes you feel at home. The restaurant itself is spotless , clean and organized. Makes you feel comfortable. Do yourself a favor and try one of the best Chinese restaurants in this part of the country.
