Service is slow but the food makes up for it :)

Diner Review №2

This was a great place to eat with joyful staff, if you love Asian food I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Diner Review №4

I received my dinner and it has hair on it. I asked for them to take care of the problem and they just took it back and removed the hair and gave it back to me. My food wasn't that hot either after that.

Diner Review №5

I enjoy my time at Oriental Bistro & Grill every time. I go every few weeks for their sushi, wonton soup, and especially the fried avocado. I also went for their Christmas buffet, which was extensive and delicious. It's a great place to take family or go on a date night.

Diner Review №6

Good food and great service.

Diner Review №7

Waiter is always so nice. We ordered the other day and due to the weather Uber eats didn't send any drivers to pick up our order, so the waiter drove it to our house themselves. I was stuck home sick so we really appreciated it.

Diner Review №8

We went there for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and were delighted with the food and service. We plan to be regulars there!

Diner Review №9

Diner Review №10

I order delivery a lot. Mostly the Bento boxes since they are my favorite and absolutely delicious. We have ordered dinner for pickup before. Their food may be a bit expensive but I think, from what we've ordered, it's worth it.

Diner Review №11

We did carryout and spent $70. Half of it was inedible. I took the rice back and they made that part right.... it was the consistency of mashed potatoes. The rest was so gross, and tiny portions. We usually eat here pretty regularly because we're close and it used to be good, but we will have to go a little further to get good food. They've gone down hill so much. Definitely save your money and go somewhere better.

Diner Review №12

The General Tso’s chicken was cooked to perfection and exactly what I was looking for! Very happy with my meal :) thank you!

Diner Review №13

When we come to Lawrence, we usually eat here. Really nice stuff and friendly atmosphere. Love the fish tank!

Diner Review №14

All the food was good, service was good.
Wasn’t a huge fan of the Thai Tea, but I would come back for the food and service.

Diner Review №15

Extremely delicious! Especially the spicy wontons!

Diner Review №16

Service and atmosphere were fine, but the food was... interesting. The Galbi was good; the Katsu was not. Don't trust the photos of the food. They didn't even have Katsu sauce.

Diner Review №17

Just perfect it's a date night spot for us!! I personally love the sushi!

Diner Review №18

Very Good food every time!

Diner Review №19

These foods are terrible. Never ever come this place. All food taste like old and burn.

Diner Review №20

Worst pad thai I've ever had. In fact, som of the worst food I've ever had in general. Egg rolls tasted nasty like old oil. Very dirty tables.Definitely a tourist trap.🤮

Diner Review №21

If you want very authentic Asian food you should give this place a try.

Diner Review №22

I used to love this place, but quality is declining with the prices rising enormously. The portions are very small, too. I just ordered teriyaki chicken lunch special to go and there wasn’t even a 3/4 cup portion. A little over 1/2 a cup, maybe 2/3 cup, and it didn’t even cover half of the spot in the box when it used to be full. With the expensive prices and smaller portions, it’s not worth ordering there anymore.

Diner Review №23

Food is good. Service was above and beyond all expectations. I just wanted a simple dish and that’s exactly what I got, it was perfect can’t complain. Will go back of course.

Diner Review №24

Excellent! I got the octopus appetizer and the seafood shio ramen. If you're ever in Bentonville AR check them out. The also have a full bar and great hot sake!

Diner Review №25

Best sushi in town!

Diner Review №26

Came highly recommended. Disappointing experience. Small portions. Waiter forgot egg drop soup and sushi. Had to ask for spoons for children. Had to ask for water refills. Slooow service. Chicken tasted boiled not stir fried as dish calls for. Forgot egg on another dish that called for it. Surprised that such a highly recommended place had such poor overall quality. Maybe a bad night for staff and cooks. We all have them. . .

Diner Review №27

Extremely disappointed! The food is not great, and the most ridiculous aspect is the tiny portions served for the entrees! We ordered water-boiled fish; it cost $18, and we received only four tiny pieces of fish!!! Most of the food tasted like it was microwaved from frozen instant meals. We do not need to support business like this.
TO THE OWNER: if you have fixed amount of food, then you need to adjust your price.

Diner Review №28

Diner Review №29

This place is my favorite restaurant in Lawrence, hands down. The menu is comprehensive and filled with tasty options, the staff are friendly and well informed, and the drink options are top notch.

Diner Review №30

I love, love, love Oriental Bistro! Seriously my favorite restaurant in town! Most recent dine-in was a great experience, our waiter was not only extremely attentive but had a shockingly good memory. Never wrote anything down and got it all 100% correct. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №31

Don't order delivery unless you want to spend a ridiculous amount on hardly any food. This place used to be my favorite but post Covid they have gone downhill on the quality of their food. Red pepper is the place to go!

Diner Review №32

Got less than 1 cup of food per entree that was over $12 an order. Spent over $70 and we are still hungry. Called them and all they did was refund $7. Will never order or eat there again

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

This was our first time at this establishment, and I took the whole family along. I was quite surprised to see they didn't have a buffet, but rather a large menu with a big variety of dishes. The for was excellent, large portions, decently priced and served hot. Staff was attentive and friendly. Recommended to friends and family.

Diner Review №35

Service is mostly good. All the food I have tried has been pretty good . Definitely one of my go to spots .

Diner Review №36

We went to the Oriental Bistro in Lawrence for my husband's birthday on Friday night(we live in Topeka Ks). Our server, Brian, did a fantastic job. He answered all of our questions. He also accommodated all of our food requests. My husband doesn't care for garlic, so Brian offered to have the cook remove the garlic from his general tso sauce. Which I thought was above and beyond. He was also very attentive, polite, and quick. The food was great and fresh made. My hot and sour soup was fantastic. I also had the pan-fried noodles that came with shrimp, pork, chicken, and veggies. It was hot, fresh, and tasty. The fried rice was full of flavor. We didn't even need soy sauce. The sweet n sour chicken was also fantastic and flavorful. The egg drop soup, wonton soup, and walnut sauce shrimp were also good. All 6 of us enjoyed what we ordered. They have a very large menu that included Asian food, sushi, Chinese, Korean options, and much more. Something for everyone. Plus, the environment is comfortable and down to earth. We really had a great experience there, I highly recommend going there.

Ate here on Christmas Day and it was horrible exclamation point all the food was disgusting! So disappointing and I will never eat here again! It was also extremely extremely overpriced!

Diner Review №41

Good food, good experience. Drops the Mike

Diner Review №42

Best place to get sushi in town!

Diner Review №43

Great food, friendly staff, and easy option for Christmas lunch with family. Definitely recommend!

Diner Review №44

Great sushi, noodles, crab rangoon, and sweet & sour chicken.

Diner Review №45

The food was metallic, dry and rubbery. I could hear a microwave go off in the kitchen. When asked how the food was prepared, the waitress could not answer and offered to take the food back and see what options were available to us as compensation for terrible food. She returned with the bill and a discount of $5 per meal and no other options for compensation. The bill came out to over $40 with the discounts with a $10 mojito and a $3 bottle of coke served with a class of ice on the side. We will not return to this restaurant.

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed. The highlight of my takeout meal was the egg drop soup and steamed rice, which were fine. I ended up throwing away my Szechuan chicken. The veggies were mushy, the broccoli yellow, and the sauce was watery and cloyingly sweet. It’s such a shame because it actually had a really nice variety and amount of veggies.

Diner Review №48

Fried avocado!!!

Diner Review №49

We love O.B.G! Every thing and everyone is always amazing! When we are celebrating, we usually go here, when we are date nighting, we like to eat here and when we aren't feeling great, we get egg drop and hot and sour soup to go and it always makes us feel better!

Diner Review №50

Diner Review №51

Absolutely terrible. We got the pad thai and house-pan fried noodle dishes. The pad thai tasted like a citrus and sweet mess. I had to eat something else to get the taste out of my mouth. The house-pan dish was okay but not good. Will not be eating from here again. $35 for a terrible dinner for 2.

Diner Review №52

When I first moved to Lawrence, this was where I ate my first full meal. The ambiance was cozy, the food was delicious and high quality, and the staff who took care of me were all lovely. My now-husband has been a longtime patron for all these reasons, and even my visiting relatives loved their food. I'm glad that it has remained the same, four years later. They have a great variety of dishes and seasonal fare. Whether dine-in, take-out or delivery, they are always on top of our list.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Food was very good. Server was great. We had a lamb dish and an eggplant 🍆 dish both were really good. Hot and sour soup not as good. It was served with saltine crackers. That was so weird. I really like crispy noodles, not saltines!

Diner Review №55

It's been awhile since we ate here, but we always try to stop by here for dinner when we are in Lawrence. They offer various different asian entrees from various Asia countries. They have dishes from Thai, Vietnamese, Singapore, Korean, Japanese, Indian and many more. They also have a hidden authentic Hong Kong menu that you have to ask for if interested. We usually get the crispy pork belly with ginger sauce and some sushi items. Also, depending on the season they do offer seasonal menu items to try. Definitely a worth visit restaurant

Diner Review №56

Good food and service. The bibimbap is tasty. Seating could be improved.

Diner Review №60

Very good food.

Diner Review №61

I had a fantastic experience at Oriental Bistro and Grill KS! The restaurant's convenient location with ample parking immediately caught my attention. Inside, the ambiance, while reminiscent of a traditional Chinese eatery, could use a touch of modernization. However, the serene atmosphere ensured a peaceful dining experience.
During my visit, the service was solid, on par with what you'd expect during lunch hours. The menu truly impressed me with its wide array of dishes spanning Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cuisines. It's a culinary journey all in one place!
As for the food itself, every dish we ordered was a delight to the taste buds. The chefs truly know their craft, as the flavors were spot-on. While the presentation was typical for Chinese cuisine, the focus here is undoubtedly on taste.
I also found the prices to be reasonable, aligning well with the quality and portions they offer. Speaking of portions, they didn't hold back – the serving sizes were generous and satisfying.
In conclusion, Oriental Bistro and Grill KS is a gem worth visiting. With its diverse menu, delicious flavors, and ample parking, it's a great spot to explore various Asian cuisines. While the interior could use some sprucing up, the overall experience left me thoroughly satisfied.

Diner Review №62

Service was the only thing good about this place. Me and my child whet there to eat for a nice one on one lunch. Our hopes were high and our stomachs were empty, but what we got is not what we expected. Pad Thai smelt like cow manure and tasted awful. My daughter had the bento box #3, their hopes high but what she got was not good. The fried calamari was like bitting into rubber. Overall not a good time. 0/10

Diner Review №63

Yummy!

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

I love this place!

Diner Review №66

I always get sushi and it's always delicious. I think today I might try chicken pad Thai

Diner Review №67

Tonight's pho, was probably the least favorable pho I've had from here. The soup had vegetables that are not included in pho, but slivers of vegetables in the broth that are definitely not part of pho. The broth was oily, very dark, and the chicken looked yellow. I am deeply disappointed in how it came out tonight. I could not finish it. The broth tasted like oil and the color of the chicken was unsettling.

They charged me about $15 for this pho.

Diner Review №68

Best in Lawrence KS - outside of TheBay - really good- Only place that offers Egg Fu Yung and 10.00 dinner specials👍

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

scamming online for free soup. Minimum order requirement met still they will make every excuse to not give you the free soup which the restaurant is advertising on their website. SCAMMER!!

Diner Review №71

Amazing food. Hot and sour soup was both hot and sour. Seems simple but few places get both components right. Presentation was top notch as well. Will be coming back whenever we visit Lawrence

Diner Review №72

I really like all of the food I've tried here so far.

Great atmosphere and people too. I'll be back for more.

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

The food is good. They have a separate menu for authentic foods, that I love. Their Three Cup Chicken is a favorite as well as the Jalapeno Pork for those who don't live in fear of spicy.

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Brian is the best.

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Several years ago this was my favorite place in town. Now it's a pale shadow of what it used to be.

The restaurant has a really offensive smell. It was difficult to stay in and eat today. The carpets are worn and gross looking, which is probably why they keep the lights off.

Diner Review №79

Favorite place in Kansas!! Sucks I live so far away!

Diner Review №80

My son, it was a lot of experience in these matters, says they have his favorite lo mein noodles in Lawrence. My Chow fun noodles were also really good. Service is quick. Prices were a little higher than other places in Lawrence, but we also liked it a little better.

Diner Review №84

Not impressed on their food. Dishes are either so salty or no taste. What makes the one star rating is their receipt is really misleading. They charged 20% automatic gratuity. Why? We have 4 adults and one toddler under 2. No where on their menu mentioned the 20% tips are mandatory charged. And they put the additional tip on the receipt that I almost thought it’s for standard tip and was going to put 20% tip. I could have put 40% tip if I didn’t pay attention the receipt. They almost tricked me. The reasons I am mad is their service is terrible and they forced us to pay tip. We were sitting there for at least 5 min and no one came to help us. We will never go back.

Diner Review №85

Never again. The to go portions are abysmal. $11 for this beef/broccoli. In person I’d get triple that.
This wasn’t a combo platter.

Diner Review №86

Can't mess up sweet and sour chicken carry out, I thought. But I was wrong. Chicken was like cardboard. Sauce was like from some can. Worst sweet and sour chicken I've ever had

Diner Review №87

The fried dark meat chicken (from the curried rice bowl) is to die for! 10/10 crispiness with a hint of honeyed sweetness. Not pictured was a wonton appetizer, with a delicious soy sauce vinaigrette.

The atmosphere alone is worth experiencing. The server was also incredibly friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to come back and try something different - the menu has so many tasty items that it was hard to choose!

Diner Review №88

Not impressed, the chicken had old dry chicken. There was 6 of us eating different dishes and no one liked it. Service was good but that was it.

Diner Review №89

First time here. Friendly waiter. Fast service. Delicious food. Hit the spot. Only thing that bothered me was the overwhelming air freshener of Jasmine I think it was. But over all we will be back for sure 💯 👌

Diner Review №91

authentic taiwanese food!! so good!!

Diner Review №92

Service was very slow and they forgot our order. Normally they are very good

Diner Review №93

Rolls were mid at best and ratio was off, sashimi texture very suspect. Came for lunch I would not recommend. Staff very friendly though.

Was not impressed with the food.The service was great but Would not go back

Diner Review №97

Diner Review №98

Lunch road stop off i35 and i70

A new must. The tempura appetizer was delicious with cream cheese and sauces. Coral reef roll was another incredible hit without rice. Seafood encircled with cucumber.

Delicious is an understatement. Brian was an excellent server with full menu knowledge.

Diner Review №99

Used to be pretty good but seems to get worse every time we go. Ordered pickup today, left for the store immediately, and the food was completely cold and unappealing when we got home. Not very much flavor in the entrees. The sushi was decent.

Diner Review №100

Tried Oriental Bistro for the first time and it definitely won't be the last! The food was sooo good! Our waiter was attentive and very helpful. I had been craving some Sesame Chicken for a while, had tried it at a few other places and my craving was not fulfilled. I can happily say that after eating at Oriental Bistro my craving has been satisfied! The restaurant was a comfortable temperature for me, I usually freeze at restaurants, and the aesthetic was really nice! I can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №101

As always, wonderful service and very good food.
Highly recommend the Pho.

Diner Review №102

Waited an hour for my carryout, which was understandable, but what I came home with was not what I ordered. Mala fish and twice cooked pork belly were done completely wrong, as if the meat was thrown in with random buffet vegetables...and there was something I didn't order at all. Beyond insulted and not going back.

Diner Review №103

Great food at a reasonable price. Friendly staff. Locally owned.

Diner Review №104

Tried this place again just to see if I caught them on a bad day, WELL NOPE! THIS PLACE GOT WROST the new owners of this place really doesn't care about quality food and won't get anymore of my hard earned money for poor quality food! Peace Out!

This place is losing everytime we oeder from here. Quality of food is getting wrost at least for the pickup orders. I just see alot of low quality service and low quality of food lately. What set me off tonght is that they forgot to place some food in our bag so when I called about a credit I got denied because I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE BACK TO PICKUP THE MISSING FOOD!

Diner Review №109

I gave them a one star because I'm disappointed in the fact I order here all the time. 3 times in a row my order did not come with the chicken I ordered. I spent $ 60 $70 each time I order food from here. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of . 3 or 4 items for$60 bucks and no chicken .I've called and complained about it . I guess ima take my business somewhere else

Diner Review №112

Absolutely incredible. Great atmosphere, even better food and amazing service. They never let our drinks get more than half empty. Very polite and always a good choice!

Diner Review №113

This place has gone downhill. We used to order from here many times.
This is the second time getting really bad food. Rice is overcooked and curry is just pieces of chicken and vegetables put together.
Never will order again from here

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Clean. Food was fantastic. Had the Mongolian Beef, Egg rolls and Wonton Soup. Very fresh and very tasty. Will definitely be back and let others know about this place.

Diner Review №116

Went in at 8:05pm. The lady at the front desk lied to me and said they stop seating at 8:15, looked at her clock and then said 8:10 just so she didn’t need to seat me. I will never come back here again. That is horrible customer service. I work and can’t get here sooner.

Diner Review №117

Highly recommend the appetizers! I have tried about four rolls here, and they were good, but almost too "rich." The cold rolls however, like the California Roll, were so good! The appetizers tho.... the best! The crab Rangoon is so authentic, and the spicy wontons are to die for! Also, they had super fast service and they were very kind!

Diner Review №118

Horrible food

Diner Review №119

We use to love coming here for Chinese food but this place has gone downhill. Last time we ordered we had to get a refund because there was barely any meat on any of the entrees. We ordered food yesterday hoping things changed after a while and the same thing happened. This time I don’t even know how we are supposed to get a refund for 60 bucks when they keep telling me to contact menufy and menufy is telling me to contact them! What a joke, won’t be back!

Diner Review №122

Friendly people and nice place. Everyone in our group liked their dishes and drinks. Fewer vegetarian options but they are good too.

Diner Review №123

Have eaten here for years... drunken noodles with tofu, miso soup- my regular order. Nice people. Sushi, Chinese, Korean- they do it all.

Diner Review №124

Best oriental food in Lawrence. Actually it's the only place that's even worth eating at.

Diner Review №125

I woke up the next morning thinking about the meal I had the night before. First off let me say the the atmosphere was casual and inviting. The entrance was clean. We were seated in a booth next to the bar. Our server David was helpful and attentive. I forgot to take pictures of our meal but the food was awesome! For appetizers we ordered we ordered the vegetable spring rolls and the fried avocado. The spring rolls were average. But the fried avocado was divine! All of the ingredients blended together wonderfully. We orders a soup that had shrimp, calamari, imitation crab, etc. I could have drank the stock from that soup and been happy. It was savory. We also had Singapore noodles with shrimp. It was wonderful as well. Also on Tuesdays Saki is $1. Nice! Over all it was a wonderful experience that I want to experience again. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Diner Review №126

Went there for lunch with my mom, let's just say we will not be back again. Literally I could not eat my lunch and sent it back. Our soups were luke warm at best and have lost their zest. Not impressed taking my mom from out of town there when I talked them up. Use to be great now not at all what they were. Sad!

Diner Review №127

The service was impeccable. The food is top quality. They have a wide range of types of food. The range is Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Almost everyone can find something they like.

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

$76 bucks and it was the worst takeout in the world. This place used to be my familys favorite. Felt like I ordered from a gas station, this place is going down hill it seems. Even they're egg drop seems old. Could have got better quality else were for the price. Wont order again. Sushi's gotten smaller too..

Diner Review №130

The place is very dirty and smells . Food and rice were not hot especially white rice came in a bowl and cold.

Diner Review №131

Good food, outstanding service.....I'm having to update this to say USUALLY. I've never had a bad experience here before. My family and I try various dishes and are pleased. Hot and sour soup has always been a favorite. However, my lunch yesterday was a big disappointment. Sauce and vegetables, soup, etc. we're all excellent, but the chicken! It was SO TOUGH. I couldn't cut it. I could barely chew it. It tasted and felt as though it had been re-cooked several times over. My sister said hers was tough, too. Now I'm leery.

Diner Review №132

I took out my elderly neighbor. She wanted Chinese, and somewhere we can sit down, not a buffet setting. So I chose Oriental Bistro because she never been there before. She really liked it.

Diner Review №133

Loved the food. Had different type of choices of asian food. Korean, mongolian, japanese, chinese. Reasonable price and taste was also great.

Diner Review №134

Diner Review №135

Our first time, definitely not the last.
Edit 6/7/2022: I just keeps getting better every time we go.

Extremely clean, well lit, music at low enough volume (Edit 6/7/2022: just caught & corrected typo) to add ambiance but not over power the conversation.
Staff is abundantly friendly, professional, courteous, polite & helpful.
Edit 6/7/2022: we've had many wonderful servers: KC, Bryan, Jason & Andrew.

The food, THE FOOD!!! Fusion of many oriental cuisines. We chose teriyaki chicken & pineapple curry w/ combo meat. This was the best dinner at a restaurant we've had in a long time.

Diner Review №136

Took girlfriend out for birthday, they have excellent service and delicious food! Offers Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Thai options.

Diner Review №140

Portions have gotten smaller and different taste recently

Diner Review №141

1. The food was awful
2. The manager made us pay 75% for a meal that was awful and we didn’t even get to take home.

Poor service
Poor management
Wouldn’t recommend unless you wanna pay full price for food that was disgusting and you didn’t even get to take with you

Diner Review №142

Poor service. Management was extremely rude. Would give 0 stars if it were an option.

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

The best sushi! And everything else is delicious too!

Diner Review №145

Found a shrimp in my empress chicken. It was breaded and stuck to the chicken so I had no idea until I was chewing it. They were incredibly lucky shellfish isn't one of my severe allergies. This kind of negligence can literally end someones life. Do not eat here if you have allergies.

Diner Review №146

We ordered 3 very different dishes today . They were cold ...the same exact sauce and vegetables was used on all 3 dishes so they all tasted the same and we could not tell them appart ...it was a complete waste of money we will not order from them again ...we would use 0 stars if we could

Diner Review №147

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №149

I can say that we are " regulars " at this place. Oriental Bistro is fantastic, food and service is always great, tasteful and healthy options are available. Sushi is great, and the menu has a variety of options. I never get bored...

Diner Review №150

I ordered from this bistro for the first time, tonight. It's doubtful I will be again. We had Lemon Chicken with plus extra chicken, Mongolian Beef with plus extra beef and an order of Fried Avocado. The meal was priced on the mid to mid-high range. It arrived in a timely manner. The food was still hot. However we were fairly shocked at how very small the portion sizes were. Especially since we had both ordered extra meat. (The extra cost over $2.00 to add) There were only TEN pieces of chicken in my meal. Meaning what? A standard order only has 5 pieces of chicken?? The Mongolian Beef meal had less than a cup of food. Again, just how ridiculously small is a standard order? If this was a posh restaurant, say in a city like New York, I would better understand the price verses portion size. But its not. Seriously disappointed and not likely going back. I only gave the 2 stars because the actual flavors were good, the food was delivered hot and quickly. Just not worth the $$$ for the insanely small meals.

Diner Review №151

One of our favorite sushi places in Lawrence. Good for dine in or take out. Delivery services can be a bit slow.

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

great food good service

Diner Review №154

You can also ask for the traditional Chinese menu for Chinese dishes! Highly recommend the chili oil beef!

Diner Review №155

Poor customer service. Charged for cup of water. The manager said the health department doesnt want them to give wayer, but they can charge for it?

Diner Review №156

Best pad thai ever!!!

***disclaimer***
Only pad thai I've ever had

Diner Review №157

5 Stars for the crab rangoon alone, which is the main reason we always return. Generals Tso Chicken and Sesame Chicken are both good. The Chicken Teriyaki Sushi Roll is yummy.
The Cashew Chicken was slimy in texture, but when I requested a new entree, it was swapped out without hesitation by the friendly server.

So happy they are back open for dine in! I got the ma po tofu and it was absolutely delicious 😋

Always excellent food

The sushi was almost all great! Two types of sashimi were less than fresh tasting. Our waiter was great and brought a big slice of cheesecake for a birthday dessert.

Diner Review №176

Food was great.

Diner Review №177

Searched for popular places and picked this for it's location and it's menu. We enjoyed the variety and the speed of service. The atmosphere is clean, friendly and comfortable. The staff is pleasant. The food is good, well prepared and what you'd expected for the price.

Absolutely amazing!! Don’t be fooled by the exterior, the interior is very nice, professional and clean. Our server Brian was fast, attentive and friendly! The lunch special was a fantastic deal with quality food and lots of additional food like tempura, egg roll or crab Rangoon and lots of rice. We will definitely be coming back and is instantly one of my favorites in town! I was missing my Thai curry and quality Chinese food fix and now I found it. 5 stars!

I like their luncheon specials but I will have to tell you that this particular day the chicken that was served as part of my dish tasted like it has been in the refrigerator just a few too many days

I absolutely love this place! It was very clean, & nice. The food was amazing, we ordered the lunch special with Mongolian beef, & king pao, they were both amazing (recommended by waiter). Drinks were good, & we left full & satisfied 😊 Definitely coming back. 5 stars
