Reading the reviews of this restaurant I just think some reviewers miss the point. I've dined here at dinner and weekends and it's good but not great. It's the Monday through Friday assembly line that's amazing. If you feel rushed, you've gone to the wrong restaurant. The idea is you can get a good individually prepared lunch special ($7.95) in...

I order this for our lunches at the office. It is a great value and everyone loves the food. If you need a quick lunch this is the place to come. They are really great and getting you in and out in an hour. Food is tasty. I love their crab puffs.

Came for a conference in Phoenix. I went here after reading reviews in yelp. If you have to take a taxi to come here - DON'T! Service was rushed. You barely sat down and glanced over the menu when a waitress came, very ready to jot down your order. Portion size - large, taste: too sweet, salty, liberal usage of... More

This is one of the rare chinese restaurents which has everything. It has great food, excellent service, very neat and clean. The food starts with a complimentary decent size nice salad. Almost everything tastes very good, portions are amazing. Everytime we go, we ended up taking leftover food home for at least couple of times. Definitely our favorite is shrimp.... More

I have been here with my husband, on multiple occasions. Tonight was probably the last night i will be eating here. We entered the restaurant and were seated immediately as usual with a nice smile. We were then asked what we would like to drink and thank goodness i asked for a lemon water. Waitress came back with our drinks... More

The food here is good but not outstanding. It's the portions that are amazing and we certainly didn't have to wait long to be served... the food was brought out to us almost instantaneously, it seemed. Good value for the money, but nothing to write home about.

Having tried this restaurant on several occasions after it moved from Central Avenue, I have always been disappointed. Quality has gone downhill, food is greasy, and is not of the caliber of the 'old days'. There are many better competitors for Chinese food.
