The food was tasty. I loved my noodles with chicken but I would have left out the water chestnuts. I would definitely recommend appetizers. I loved the won ton soup as well as the egg rolls and crab Rangoon

I love everything about this place. The decor is perfectly imperfect. Great efficient service. The food was solid and nostalgic of the Chinese food from my childhood.

1st time here and everything was delicious. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Mango Shrimp, Egg rolls, Won Ron soup and The Mai Tai... That Mai Tai hit me good. After 1 drink I was feeling it. Recommended 💯

This place is awesome, the food is pretty good, but most importantly, they do shows with impersonators. The show I saw was Elvis, and it was really good. There's many others. The place has a old school early 80s vibe. Definitely worth trying

The entertainment was great! Tina Turner was in the house. Every Saturday is a different show.
