Their food tastes so much better than any Asian buffet, 10x better. Don't get me wrong, I love going 2 buffets but this is whole nother quality of flavor & true off the grill freshness I didn't know existed. The owners are friendly and skilled & their server is polite & full of smiles. Definitely try their cream cheese wontons- they are made hot & fresh- this is a taste that is a must have.
We tried this for the first time after the buyout and were not impressed:
Dumplings 3/5 - Average, nothing special
Cream cheese wontons 2/5 - Lack of filling, over done
Donuts 1/5 - Extremely dense, minimal topping
Pad Thai 0/5 - This was nearly in-eatable and did not resemble the dish (trashed meal)
Pad see-ew 2/5 - No flavor, very bland, noodles overdone and falling apart
Sesame chicken 3/5 - Best options, but included ‘fried rice’ option was just plain brown rice
Would not return for the food - pricing is also higher for quality. Our whole family also ended up with diarrhea after the limited amount we ate. Would much rather go to Mizuki or drive up to Faribault to get 1st of Thai. Bummer they aren’t better.
Fresh, nice selection. Friendly service. Very delicious. Recommend highly. Enjoyed #69 spice level for me was perfect.
Small but amazing :) its better quality than the East Wind buffet and a bit fresher than panda -
I have not ordered anything I haven't loved - so much so i always order my Fav meal then 1 additional meal so I can try the menu without being disappointed if the new item is not preferred
We got take out last night and it was delicious! It was their first day open!
The Rangoon’s were creamy, flaky and delicious! Not too sweet.
I tried the Pad See-Ew with Vegetables & Tofu! The rice noodles were soft and sweet! Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it! The General Tso’s chicken was good too! Generous in portions, Not too spicy. If you like spicy there’s a whole section on the menu for you too! No worries! Overall fantastic!
I ordered the Thai Dynamite Chicken. The chicken was very tender and the sauce was slightly sweet with a little heat to it. Nice light sauce that didn’t overwhelm the vegetables and chicken. Veggies were very fresh. Will definitely be back!
Staff were wonderful. I was hoping to give an excellent review after the new menu and ownership, but was very disappointed . Got 2 orders of the general tso chicken. The meal was so BLAND, ( the menu lists this as spicy) and there was hardly no sauce. Sorry, I won’t be coming back.
Good food

Such great food!!
So good, will be back. I love that it's not a buffet. Super quick too.
Glad we found it and stopped!
So glad Owatonna finally has somewhere to get good Chinese
First time. Asked for fried rice, got plain rice, wonton were cold inside.
Great food and service! Enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend

Good food but it's way too expensive to eat there all the time.
I order orange chicken with white rice. The vegetables were no good old and hardly any sauce which I did asked for extra sauce. Did not care for the red sauce either. Won’t eat there again. Chicken was stringy and dry. Sorry!!!!
What an improvement! Everything was excellent, friendly service with a thank you. No more feral animal barrier at the entrance!
I ordered shrimp Thai noodles and wonton. Loved the noodles. Great flavor. The wonton were ok. Not my favorite. Will try egg roll next time. Language barrier was an issue when ordering.

Have gotten food here a could of times now and have enjoyed it each time. While all the food was good, some of the appetizers are basic frozen goods. The chicken, rice and noodles is where they shine.
The food was hot and prepared quickly...the cream cheese wonton were delicious, but the beef and broccoli was a little bland

I thought they were soo good. Excellant choice! The food was hot, filling and enjoyable. They are new so the decorations are still coming but the food is the best!
Great food. Delicious. Bit of a wait due to them being newly open but worth it. This town needed a place like this. Excellent
