    A great place to go for a relaxing lunch, not to mention the great food. There's quite a variety of food and tons of vegan options, which I'm partial to. You won't be disappointed here Serving portions are great, quality ingredients and a wonderful flavor profile. Don't like Asian food but your family does? Get the wings! Yep. This place is a complete package for everyone.

    Everything about this restaurant was superb. The atmosphere was excellent. The restaurant was clean the booths were comfortable. The waitress was super friendly and attentive, and the food was hot and delicious. It’s a little bit more money but it’s worth it. I love that they have a fish tank with live fish swimming right next to you. It’s so cool and before you walk in, there’s an actual pond with fish in it. ( sorry about the general TSO’s pics. I ate it before I remembered to take a picture.) I’d like to point out though for their children’s menu they do not have any American food so no french fries or nothing like that it’s just Chinese food my grandson will not eat Chinese food so I just figured I’d let people know about that if they have a picky eater like mine.

    The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the portions were gigantic. Our server was fantastic… He had a great sense of humor. They have this wonderful Koi paw outside and give the kids fish food to feed the fish. My daughter thought this was the best thing ever she had an absolute blast. And I had two more meals from my one meal. It was so good

    Our first time in this area and was craving Chinese food. We found this place on Google maps not too far from our hotel. We both had egg flower soup. I had the Triple Delight and my husband had the Empress Chicken. I also got an egg roll to try after seeing another guest’s egg roll. They are definitely made in house as they are fat. Everything was really delicious, I can see why they have 4.5 stars! If you love Chinese food, try this place. It’s delicious!

    Man, this place has some fantastic food. Normally we get takeout (fantastic as well) but especially dining in, they have by farrrr, the best lo mein and general Tsos chicken my fiancé and I have ever had. The noodles are so garlicky and flavorful, and the chicken has a nice, crispy coating that melds so nicely with the sauce. Not to mention they load you up on the sauce! The Thai iced tea is so delicious too and a perfect amount of sweet without seeming too thick to enjoy. We enjoyed our meal and our waitress was also really sweet. Such a great Chinese place in cranberry! Ps. Jesus loves you :)

    I loved it here ! It's a beautiful establishment. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. I had one of the best egg rolls of my life here. Also, the spicy mustard will clear your sinuses. I had the empress chicken and it came with mixed vegetables and a big enough portion that I will get a second meal out of it. I can not wait to try everything else on the menu ! My only complaint is that the fried rice that came with my meal was a little soggy. I will go for the steamed rice next time

    The food here is actually very good—compliments to the kitchen. However, the service made it hard to enjoy the meal. Our waitress was dismissive and unfriendly from the start. She barely spoke to us and didn't acknowledge our questions/requests. I see others have had better service, may be not the best day. The most disappointing moment was when we simply asked for water without ice and she actually rolled her eyes at the request. We would love to come back for the food, but the lack of basic politeness is a major deterrent.
