"I know they said Mini but I didn't think THIS SMALL. But I love them. So good"
"One of the worst fast food meals that we ever had. Fries were soggy. Both chicken patties for these sandwiches, Hot Ones™ Buffalo Jr. Chicken Sandwich and Jack's Spicy Chicken® Combo, were overcooked. It was like eating bricks literally with how hard it was. We ended throwing them away. What a waste of money."

"Not much protein or portion, more so a bunch of noodles with a few pieces of protein. Tasted good though"
"The food was terrible. Im really unsure how this place is still here. Weve ordered from here numerous times over a long period of time and it's just always been bad. Our latest order was definitely the last time we will order from here. We ordered two bowls and all the protein in both bowls was burnt and very scarce. 85 percent of both bowls was just rice which somehow they screwed up too as it was overcooked and mushy. I dont know why I keep wasting money, maybe im just hopeful this place will be good again like when in opened in the early 2000s"

"The 19. Roast Pork Fried Rice was absolutely to die for! Well seasoned and the pork was so juicy and succulent! The 27. Chicken Lo Mein literally had me and my sister fighting for the last few noodles in the container it was THAT GOOD! The seasonings are IN the food not like it was just thrown together in a hurry. You can taste the LOVE in every single bite you take. The vegetables were well seasoned too and cooked to perfection! We also ordered the eggdrop 14. Egg Drop Soup which you can see from the pictures comes in a massive container, so if you're wanting something filling or if you're not feeling good I would definitely recommend! The L8. Sweet & Sour Chicken was so juicy and tender also! Not like most places where you can tell it's just old and crunchy or left under the heat lamps so the chicken is all dry! THIS WAS THE BEST L8. Sweet & Sour Chicken IVE EVER HAD! The portion sizes are massive all this was able to feed me, my sister and my 1yr/o niece with leftovers of all 4 meals. This is hands down our NEW FAVORITE CHINESE SPOT! We've been looking for one since weve moved to no avail and at alas we stumbled upon ur store! We will definitely be reoccurring customers! 10/10 would recommend! "

"The boat was really good very fresh. Had so much flavor. I would definitely order the lettuce wraps again. "
"I don’t leave reviews often, but this was worth it. Everything arrived fresh, well-packaged, and still hot. The Braised Pork Belly Fried Rice was insanely flavorful and perfectly cooked. The Fusion lettuce wrap (protein diet friendly) was fresh, light, and packed with flavor—great option if you want something a little healthier. The D3 Strawberry Soda Tea and C1 Silky Quack Latte were not only delicious but packaged so cute—it honestly made the whole experience. The little rubber duckies were such a fun touch. Super impressed, especially for delivery. Definitely ordering again."

"This was the best Dandan Noodles and dumplings that I have had in Texas. My wife said the same about the chicken fried rice and crab poofs (rangoon). This place would be successful in NYC. The quality of food is outstanding. I am so grateful to have found it scrolling on door dash. We will be ordering again soon!"
"Egg Drop Soup was flavorful though a little pricy compared to other restaurants. Mongolian Beef had a nice portion of beef and not all veggies like some places. They did use Jalapeño peppers which is a bit different but I think it gave the dish a nice little kick only wish the slices were thinner on the pepper as you get a big bite of pepper. Over all it was a nice dinner and only real complaint would be that the Egg Drop Soup didn't come with fried wanton crunchies like more places have."

"Dahi Puri & Sev Puri come pre-prepared. So just keep that in mind if you're ordering delivery far away. It could end up soggy... although it is delicious. Butter Chicken requires two sides but it won't default to double up one, if picked... which is a little funky but also delicious to eat. It's pricy but worth the cost if you're craving Indian food!"
"The GOAT Curry was AMAZING! However extremely disappointed with the biriyani -- the sparsely spiced Biriyani was layered with a BUNCH of white rice fried in ghee on top of the actual biriyani. They sent one Tupperware plus a small side Tupperware of identical stuff as if to compensate the fluff of white rice. I took off all of the white rice and then added the remainder of the goat curry to make it consumable. Mind you, I paid $3.00 extra for "extra mutton". The Goat curry was perfection though."

"I ordered extra carrots, broccoli & snow peas. It doesnt look like all are there but it will be super tasty! They serve a large portion so it will feed multiple people or divide into 2-3 servings for later! Extra spicy is best! Crab delights are sweet & delish too!"
"Normally I really enjoy my food from here. This is the first time I have gotten it from this location, and it was not fresh or flavorful. I would not order it from here again. The chicken was chewy, and the portion of it was small. There were only a few pieces of broccoli and it was mostly rice in the bowl. Very disappointed, and there were only 3 pieces of lettuce I could use for the wraps."
