While some reviews highlight excellent customer service and reasonable prices, a few diners have noted inconsistencies in food quality, particularly with rice and fried items. Despite minor critiques, the restaurant remains a popular choice for its signature dishes and overall dining experience.
"The food was amazing, let me start there! Covid-19 protocols are in place & face masks are required. There's an automatic hand sanitizer at the door (upon entry). We were greeted pleasantly by the owners (I presume). Our order was Kingdom Ribs & egg-fried rice. The ambiance was calm, although indoor dining doesn't seem to be allowed at the moment. I enjoyed the fish tank at the front of the restaurant as well. Would like to visit again soon."

"Egg rolls are the best old school filled with cabbage instead of bean sprouts. The crab is unbelievable please call in advance to make sure they have the crab."
