First time ordering here and used delivery service. The food was very quick. I loved the shrimp fried rice that had plenty of shrimp and veggies. It could use less sauce because it’a a bit wetter than I would like. I would not recommend the chow mein because it was too salty and the type of pork used.

If you like chicken and green beans this restaurant makes it and it is fantastic. This is my favorite Chinese meal and very hard to find on most menus. I will eat here every time I’m in the area visiting.

After trying a few different schezwan places in the Triangle, this has been our favorite so far. We stopped by on a Monday night and the place was super busy with takeout orders. We were actually one of the only people dining in, which feels a shame because we had a really enjoyable time. The atmosphere is more similar to a takeout restaurant than your more upscale restaurant, but we knew that going in. I've seen some people comment poorly on the service and maybe it isn't 5 stars: we had to wave a server down once or twice. However, we received our food promptly and never had to request a refill. Just maybe don't expect to be waited on hand and foot -- that serves me absolutely fine. Speaking of our food, I thought everything was phenomenal. We ordered the bamboo fish as an appetizer, twice cooked pork belly and the braised chili beef. Honestly, it was almost more food than we could handle, but we rallied because it was that good. We couldn't leave anything behind. Everything was fresh and seasoned so well -- the fish in particular was superb and cooked to perfection. I could maybe see some of it not holding super well and maybe that's where some complaints about the take out co

I thought this place was average. We got take out which seems like everyone does. The place was packed with people waiting for orders but not a lot dining in. The food lacked flavor in my opinion and the noodles were just ok. The sauces were quite watery which might have attributed to the flavor. We all mildly enjoyed their food and ate leftovers but it just wasn’t my favorite Chinese food that I have had. Not sure if it is better in the restaurant than the take out or maybe we just ordered the wrong stuff. The door dash drivers said they are always in there so the people must like it! Maybe we just went on an off day.

After all the recommendations to try the Mongolian Beef, we were excited to try it! It had great flavor but an insane amount of onions. Maybe this is other people’s tastes but it was a surprising amount of onions and not enough beef for the price. The general tso’s was great! The chicken was still crispy even with a generous amount of sauce and the flavor was addicting. We also liked the cucumber salad, it was a nice fresh side to have with the heavier main dishes. The interior was clean and very nicely lit up. We’ll be back!! We’re excited to try some more authentic/traditional dishes next time.
