"This restaurant is amazing! The 5.Crab Rangoon is so delicious, they are so pillowy and the taste of the filling is fresh and smooth. The 23.Curry Fried Rice is excellent - the flavor and heat work really well together. The Thai 22.Thai Style Fried Rice is also so tasty! A must try! "
"It was pretty awful. The curry had 3 shrimp and 3 pieces of overcooked rubbery squid for $10 (TEN dollars!!!). The pineapple fired rice had a bag of frozen mixed vegetables thrown in. You know what does NOT go with pineapple? Green beans and peas and lima beans. Bleh! The steamed rice was crunchy (not al dente, but barely cooked). Never again...ever."

"I have wanted to try this cuisine for a long time and I'm glad we finally did! The vegetarian Burmese Fritters / A Kyaw Sone with sweet and sour tamarind sauce was delicious! The chicken Panang Curry was perfectly spiced though I would have loved more rice; next time I will order extra. It came with a small coconut rice that was so fluffy. The beef Pad See Ew (Chicken, Beef, Veg) was less saucy than I expected but the flavor was spot on. I would order all of these items again and can't wait to try others!"

""Spicy Orange Chicken: A Culinary Firecracker from the Heart of China!" The moment this audaciously spicy and tangy dish graced my table, I knew my taste buds were about to embark on an epic journey through the vibrant landscapes of Chinese cuisine. The Spicy Orange Chicken isn't just a meal; it's a festive dragon dance on a plate, where the chicken leads the procession with fiery zest and zing. Each piece of chicken is so tender and succulent, it feels like it has been meditating in the ancient art of deliciousness. But the real hero of the dish is the spicy orange sauce - a magical concoction that's equal parts tangy, sweet, and spicy. It’s like a love letter from the culinary gods of China, sealed with a chili-kissed stamp. The veggies accompanying this dish aren’t mere spectators; they’re like the supportive cast in a blockbuster kung fu movie, providing balance and harmony to the star's spicy antics. Every bite is a harmonious symphony of flavors that makes you want to serenade the chef in Mandarin. In summary, this Spicy Orange Chicken is not just a feast for the senses; it's a vibrant celebration of Chinese flavors. It's so captivatingly spicy and tangy, you'll be tempted to wave a little red flag in surrender – but trust me, you'll be back for more. This dish doesn’t just set the bar for Chinese cuisine; it sends the bar flying on a firework! 🎆🍊🐔🌶️"

"All the food was good. The beef 608 Lo Mein was fantastic! The Apricot sauce with the 101 Crab Rangoons (6) was delicious. Dish sizes are huge, you really get your moneys worth. One dish is enough to have leftovers at least 3 times."
"The 304 Black Pepper Garlic Beef 黑蒜子牛 is amazing!! This is what I have been craving! I am getting this every time I order from now on. The 402 Crispy Sesame Chicken 芝麻鸡 and 101 Crab Rangoons 蟹角 were super delicious too. At first I thought this place was too expensive, but now I get it - the ingredients are top quality and the food is cooked perfectly - its totally worth it!! All the Other places I have tried the food is always over cooked, flavors aren't right and its disappointing. THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!! I am only ordering from this place from now on. Do yourself a favor and order from here now. Seriously! Stop reading the reviews and try it already!"

"I really enjoyed my bowl of pho. I asked for med. spicy for my broth it was perfect. I added an extra steak to my bowl and it was more than enough protein. I also enjoyed all the vegetables and sauces, I was able to customize my bowl to my liking. Will be ordering again. P8. special pho"
"Everything about this meal was delicious. I started with the chicken wings and was pleasantly surprised—they were all flats, which honestly felt like a win. They were crispy, hearty, and actually a normal wing size. I’m usually not a fan of anything besides vegetable egg rolls, but these wings were amazing—slightly greasy, but absolutely worth it. I never expected the pho to steal the show, but it did. I’m not a fan of cilantro or bean sprouts, yet I added them anyway. Once I finished assembling my bowl with all the toppings, it felt like stepping into a warm, comforting place. The broth was packed with flavor—rich, bold, and bursting in every sip. I couldn’t stop eating or drinking it. I ordered both chicken and steak to see which I’d prefer, but I honestly couldn’t decide. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the steak was just as flavorful. I will definitely be coming back"

"didn't seem like there was a regular piece of chicken on the sandwich lot of soggy bun on the bottom. Not worth the price at all.

"Love the way the pizza was delivered. The California club had all uncooked toppings separately packaged from the pizza, ensuring for a fresh meal when delivered. "
"This pizza was small for the price I shouldnt have ordered this crap, look like a child made it. I was totally disappointed in the pizza and it took over an hour to receive the delivery and my food was cold. I will never order from here due to the QUANTITY AND QUALITY. Very unhappy with both. I also dont want to order through doordash anymore for not enough details on items resturants offer. No where do they specify the size of the pizza with the prices. I received a personal sized pizza for $30 and I was expecting to feed my family of 3. We are still hungry. Negative 5 stars. Dont NOT waste your money with either company. I would appreciate a full refund from this horrible experience. Thank you."
