Went here try sit down and try and grab a quick meal. In this place quick doesn't exist. Our waitress decided to disappear and eat while we were waiting for our food and never came back to check on us for 25 minutes. We were annoyed to say the least. We actually canceled part of our order and when we... More

We were very unhappy with this restaurant. While eating a bowl of noodle and vegetable soup I found a piece of steel wire in my mouth. Very sharp and scary. When we told the staff they did take it away and asked what else I might like. The replacement that came was a very greasy scallion pancake. No attempt was... More

Decades ago a middle-aged woman who seemed to be educated and a very hard worker opened this restaurant trying to introduce a certain "hominess" to the food. There is a corresponding branch on the East Side. The Columbus branch is now under the management of her son. Over the years there is a steady decline in the quality of food... More

Seems to be a chain of Chinese restaurant, so, to be fair, comment on this as a poor example of American-Chinese food (I should have heeded reviews on another site!). The place is small, and the tables are crowded to the point that the servers have to slide through narrow aisles. One server spilled water on the chairs we were... More

Ordered from here at around 8pm on a weeknight. Wanted some tasty chinese food and didn't want to wait long for it. We placed our order online and within 25 minutes it was at our door. Highly recommend the steamed veggie dumplings and the chicken with broc. We also got a beef lo'mein that was good but not as great... More

We dined here in early June after visiting Central Park. The portion of food here is large, so don't over-order like us. We can't finish what we ordered. Food was good, and service obliging. Dim sum on offer here as well, tasted great. More

If you get the BBQ pork spare rib soup with rice cakes and the steamed bun, it's amazing. Everything else on the menu is terrible. Do not ever order the frozen pink lemonade unless you have a thing for Koolade mixed with Bayer aspirin with a touch of Pez. More
