This place, has the BEST DAMNED CHICKEN BALLS, I have ever had. It's Not 90 % batter
The chicken to batter ratio is way above expectations.

Everything else we had was good. But damn those chicken balls.

Not coming back, So we came here eating in seeing all the good reviews. pricy but the portions are huge, it’s a family owned restaurant their children are running around helping which is sweet. No music playing so very quiet

First we got wontongs for an appetizer

Wontons came out looked half cooked their was a soft spot in the middle we were eating around.
To get the crispy part.

We figured maybe our meal would be better

Had the Chowmein noodles they weren’t fully cooked no taste very bland, you can see how unappetizing it looks.

I had the chicken fried rice and deep fried chicken balls, it looked good the chicken balls did on the outside, but once I cut into it, the dough was still soggy and raw inside, the chicken in the chicken balls were like rubber, I spit it out, the rice was white rice cooked, Chinese food, rice is always brown fried chicken rice,

You could get 14 crispy deep fried chicken balls
For $17.95 which I went with the children’s menu cause I only wanted a small meal, and that came with 3 chicken balls and rice, that was the smallest portion. They had for adult 14 deep fried chicken balls!!!!!

Just by walking in could see a dirty dish cart near the wall where we ate flys around it, bathroom was so gross old and smelly,

I had high hopes he said the sauce we had was sweet and sour we asked for cherry sauce and the owner said people always call sweet and sour cherry sauce, one of us said well cherry sauce is red,/sweet and sour, he said to us that’s red, it was plum sauce

Also I don’t think a real authentic Chinese food place would server burgers and sandwiches

At first glance food looked very good but in eating was very greasy, sauce for lemon chicken was so tart with lemon it could not be consumed…Had to eat a bunch of Tums to keep from vomiting!!! Not good..

Some of the food was pretty average westernised chinese food, but some things were authentic. The portions are wildly massive. Not a single person could finish their combo plate for 1. I had enough for a full lunch meal the next day. I would definitely eat here again. The ginger beef is not worth it, but everything else was spot on. The service was excellent.
I recommend the dim sum menu.
