The service was great. Food on the other hand was awful. Got a Denver Sandwich, got two bites in and realised it was full of eggshells. Not one or two little shells, it was like they dropped half a shell in the egg and left it.

Chinese food restaurant with exceptionally good business! At noon almost all full, the boss and the boss's wife is very enthusiastic, the key dishes do good, and the portion is very full! Prices are very affordable, had a big table and packed quite a few to take home. Recommended!

Great prices with delicious food and excellent portions. Great artwork for sale on the wall.

The food was terrible. The description of menu items was misleading. Chow main was vegetables with Dry Chow Main noodle. All the meat was deep fried. Couldn’t tell what was chicken beef or pork. When we asked the staff about the food items they became defensive and argumentative. Can’t say I’ll eat there again.

absolutey horrible was working in the alley and one of there delivery drivers in the grey toyota blocked us in flipping out then ran in the back of the restraunt where then he came back out and another scranny dude came out with him and was laughing at us being blocked in by the delivery driver who then was sitting down throwing his arms around yelling at me and my co worker then this older gentalmen came out looked like the cook and started giving us the finger to witch we just sat in our truck not understanding wat the hell was going on then the delivery driver gets back in his car still just sits there and then finally he turns into the spa parking lot then reverses super fast and cuts us off then peals down the alley haha what a real bunch of winners there

The combo meals that everyone else at my table looked amazing and said it was delicious! That’s what I should have ordered instead of the chicken chow mein. Quite a disappointing meal for me.

★★★

It was okay. We tried the wonton soup and egg roll for appetizer which we liked. Though the honey garlic ribs (too strong garlic flavor), lemon chicken (breading was a little too thick and oily, not a fan of the lemon sauce too), and special chow mein (a little bland for me). But generous portions at an affordable price.

It has been 15 years since I have eaten here and I have to say they still have their touch!! Food was delivered to the spa, it was fast, hot and deliciously satisfying. I ordered my old regular no.2 for one with and egg roll (which was huge and so good!) The customer service was great to the person taking the order to the delivery personal. If you are in Moose Jaw for a visit and looking to support a local business that gives great quality to what they make, uptown is a great place to try.

Incredibly good , the best was the wonton soup. You can tell the wonton soup, it s better than anything I can remember went there twice every time very good Chinese and western cuisine. Plus it was the only Chinese style restaurant in Moose jaw that gave me good hot red Thai chilies. Service was excellent. Food portions were huge and plentiful! Warm, friendly, hospitality, old school, mom and Pop very rare to be this good

First time ordering from this restaurant, read good reviews but was extremely disappointed. Called and ordered a dinner for 3. I was quoted 30-45 mins. And hour a d 5 mins later it showed up. After I called the restaurant was put on hold for 4 mins only for the lady to answer the phone as she forgot I was the line.

A follow-up review. I made a reservation in advance with a friend to eat. The free-range chicken with scallion oil tastes very good, but the salted duck is too salty. The lamb brisket has too many spices. The meat is relatively poor. Hmm... The overall feeling is okay, but individual dishes need to be improved.

Server was nice/ food soaked in greese, salad had chunks of ruffage you would throw out! Then the bathroom had no paper towel and had not been cleaned for weeks!! Plus, I had to walk by tubs of dirty dishes to get there!! Old and Dirty building!! Will not go back or suggest to anyone.

★★
December 22, 2021

Only giving two stars because normally there is no issues but tonight was unacceptable. Upon going in the front door to pick up my order I was hit with a very strong pungent cigarette smell. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe it was just the cashier. While eating my food I consistently get after scents of cigarette smoke specifically in the rice. Im no food expert but I doubt my food could possibly smell like smoke if they were outside and washed their hands before cooking. I assume someone is smoking in the kitchen and will not be back again. Its a shame as this was some of the best Chinese Canadian food in town.

Just simply my most favorite restaurant in the world. Fast service and delivery of food. Been in business for ever and the home cooked meals have never change in quality in all of my 45 years. No change is cooking styles, decent amounts, always tastes the same. I hope it sucks around till at least after I die or I will die a dad person! Lol

1 star is too many for this place. The epitome of horrible Americanised Chinese food. Avoid at all costs. Vegetables tasted like table scraps boiled for five hours. Rice was some how both soggy and dry.

On a Saturday afternoon we stopped at this place for a cup of coffee, but it looked like they werent ready for anyone yet. The waitress didnt wait on us at all. She know that we were there for coffee, so, she just walked in with the coffees and left! I assume this is more of a Chinese restaurant than a cafe! So dont make the mistake we did! The coffee was good though!
