Such a fun atmosphere with an awesome variety of food options! Kevin was an incredible host—very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations. We tried the fresh fruit mango boba and it was so refreshing and delicious. Will definitely be back!

I carried out did not dine in. The food was less than satisfactory. We ordered sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Both were dry and over cooked to the point It could have been pre made then microwaved. The pork egg rolls were small like a spring roll served with a sweet sauce but no hot mustard. At over $2 each it was disappointing and we felt they may have been a packaged item. Chicken fried rice was ok just lacking a little flavor. Plain white rice was good.

Bad experience. We were six parents attending an event at York High School. We ordered one dine-in dish for each mom and several takeout items and smoothies for our kids at the school. An automatic 18% gratuity was charged on all items, including takeout, which was unexpected and not explained. More importantly, I specifically requested no onions in a $17 fried noodle takeout dish because my child has an onion allergy. When my child opened the container, it clearly contained onions (see photo). As a result, my child could not eat anything and had to stay hungry for the entire event until 9:00 PM. Charging full price plus automatic tip for food that was unsafe to eat is unacceptable. Allergy requests should be taken seriously. This experience was disappointing and stressful, especially for a child.

EDIT: Somebody took this down so HERE IT IS AGAIN, YALL NEARLY KILLED ME. I only ate here that day. This place put me in the hospital. Second time coming here and within an hour my girlfriend was sick from taking one bite off my plate and I was on the floor unable to move, within hours I was in the emergency room so dehydrated I had temporary paralysis, trouble seeing, trouble speaking, and my entire stomach and digestive system cleared out to the point where I didn't have stomach acid left to throw up. I'm still having memory problems and days later still recovering. I'll obviously never be returning and I hope anyone who reads this takes this as a warning. Don't bet your life on a dinner date here, this place nearly killed me.

My family lives this place for when we want comes food because it's still a casual style restaurant but it does all of the food really well. It's the best casual-Chinese food.
