⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — ALittleBit OfHeaven
The chicken wings, fried rice, egg rolls, Mei Fun, general tos chicken, bourbon chicken, mombo wings, and chicken and broccoli are absolutely delicious! The staff is really friendly, and they also offer delivery! The flavors make me feel like I'm back in the city again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Emily Pratt
After looking at the reviews online, I was honestly questioning whether I should order from here — but I’m so glad I did! I ordered through DoorDash and everything arrived hot, fresh, and so tasty. I wasn’t sure how many beef-on-a-stick came with the order since DoorDash didn’t list the details, so I called the restaurant. The lady who answered was extremely polite and answered all my questions respectfully. Overall, great service and delicious food. I’ll definitely be ordering again! I would post photos, but I ate everything before I could even think about it.
