The best Chinese food I have ever had!!! So good I had combo #1 and my wife had #2!!! So flavourful and huge portions. Can’t wait to go again.

I ordered said 20 min. It was 45min. The eggplant dish I ordered was total disgusting. Was supposed to have veges and eggplant. No veges just slimy gooey disgusting eggplant.

Food is amazing! Definitely the best in Saint John hands down! The atmosphere is very enjoyable, and comfortable. The service is also very very good!👍👍 Also for parents, this establishment is kid friendly, as well as wheel chair accessible, for people who are in wheelchairs. Over all 10 out of 10!🤗😁👍

Disappointed with food we ordered ,server was new didn’t know much about menu .. every menu comes with chicken fried rice .. we order sweet n sour shrimp .. on their website the photo shows something different I clearly asked the server, however the funny part is I asked them if instead of chicken fried rice they can give me veggie fried rice it was equivalent to Same price . I was told no , instead it came with plain rice n fried shrimp with sweet sour Sauce . Looking at the website photo I continued the order I am attaching photo you can see how the combination looks. One photo is my order white rice and shrimp the other photo is how it shows on their website . Resturant needs to keep in mind not every customer u will get eats meat some only eat veggie or seafood won’t harm to make customer little happy so they can enjoy their food . We didn’t enjoy our food there

Bright clean restaurant. I’ve only gone a few times, and found them to be very consistent. I really enjoy their pork spring rolls, and chicken dishes. Staff are a pleasure to talk to. Their portions are consistent if you’re getting take out or dinning in.

Went there for my first time Absolutely friendly service And was given tips on how to re touch up the shrimp chips after a day Got a combo number 1 and 5 and they were the best I’ve had, and it’s very filling I could only eat half The chicken balls are to die for ❤️❤️

I tried this spot for the first time. The food was extremely delicious. The noodles were balanced perfectly with flavorful slices of onion cooked just enough to still have a little crunch and yummy pieces of tender chicken. I'm not sure what they do to their egg rolls but hands down the best I've ever had. The chicken balls had a perfect batter to chicken ratio. Just enough crisp on the outside and tender juicy chicken on the inside, paired with delicious & flavorful sweet and sour sauce. Each item of food in my combo was full of flavor. I find some Chinese places their food will kind of all have the same flavor and can make the meal very flat but every bite of food from this Chinese spot was yummy. Please keep doing what you are doing! Do not change anything, amazing recipes! I will be back!!

Delicious food, quiet atmosphere and delightful staff. Food was piping hot and the view out the front window was marvelous. They even have Chinese zodiac placemats that make for great conversation while briefly waiting for your food.

Clean. Friendly staff. Vegetables were fresh tasting and cooked perfectly, not soggy. Egg rolls crispy but found filling was too sticky for me. Flavor was good.The amount of batter on chicken balls was perfect. The rice had a different flavor to it( a burnt metal smoky taste is only way i can describe it)and was a bit too sticky. Large portions. Szhechuan chicken was fantastic!

This is the BEST Chinese food I have found while living in Saint John. Friendly staff and AMAZING food with fairly competitive prices compared to other places in the area. Highly recommend. Ive had to order food for a larger group and they easily facilitated for some gluten-free options for us and gave special care to packaging and keeping them separate and marked for us. One of the employees had just finished her shift and even offered to help us bring all the food next door for us. I was blown away. Parking: Large parking lot

Maggots in there beef, not a good look. Next time the manger should talk to the people instead of acting like nothing is wrong.

Tried this place for the 1st time today - not overly impressed, food was just OK but nothing wed go back for. The lemon chicken was very heavy & greasy; the bbq pork lo mein had very little pork (tiny little pieces, very disappointing) and was essentially a big glob of noodles and not much more. Egg rolls were pretty good; chicken fried rice was very generic. Service was friendly, food prepared very quickly (just disappointing).

Very good food, very clean place and very friendly staff, they even give you a call to let you know when your takeout order is ready so you dont have to just sit and wait.

December 23, 2022

So there menus says they support if you have food allergies..this is not the case u cant eat the wonton soup so wanted to sub for spring rolls they wanted to charge me $2 per spring roll which is the cost of the spring roll and omit the soup..The dinner for 6 is already $90 plus they wanted an additional $12...I like to support local but they just lost my business

If I could give them zero I would. Eggroll tasted like the box it came from. Beef and broccoli was basically just broccoli with a couple slices of rubbery beef. Sweet and sour pork was gross and rubbery as well. Absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time if you have any concept of what good food is.

Great Takeout. The serving sizes are quite big so unless you normally eat large servings I dont think you will still be hungry after. The combos have a good mix. I got a combo 1 and a spicy deep fried shrimp. Most of the dishes that arent combos come with a generous portion of fried rice as well. The egg rolls are really good and the S&S chicken balls are delicious. I love their chow mein and the fried rice is really filling .The prices for the amount of food you get is nice too. Service was good and fast. They said 20-30min but is was quicker than that. Due to covid it is takeout only right now and I hope they are still doing well. I hope to come back again to try some more of their dishes.

SSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWW First visit I went for a pick up and I called to confirm and they said i was ready. I live in walking distance, 5 minute walk. I show up and they ask me what name was the order place, I give them my name but they cant find it. I know it was busy, all tables filled but so then how do you take an order over the phone, take 30.minutes to prepare it and then lose the order 5 minutes later??? So they had to make the order from scratch, took 30 minutes to redo my order. My second visit, things are quiet, half the volume as last time and i came in for an egg roll and a spring roll, ok? They said 10 minutes to make. Really? I guess they MUST be busy with all 5 tables filled. Oh and by the way, nice way to keep the 3 gentlemen waiting at the front desk with no one to take their order or get them an empty table of the possible 12, again 5 tables in use, with 2 or 3 customers each. If you like to spend all day for your table or pick up, best to call a day in advance.

My partner and I had heard about this new restaurant in town, and we walked in on a Friday evening with no reservation made ahead... the place was packed and the servants were hopping. It took about 15 minutes before we got a table, and awhile for the food to arrive, but this did not matter to us. We were glad to see a new restaurant that just opened doing so well (no surprise consdering us west-siders are like a tightly-knit family, and word of a new place to eat spreads like wildfire). Complete strangers were coming and going, laughing and hugging, raving about the food - but thats west siders for you. As for the food - beyond delicious! Hot, fresh, and served with a smile. Our business felt welcome here. Also, like another reviewer pointed out - great view from the front window. We have made a reservation for 4 for tomorrow night, and we are looking forward to more delicious food. A tip before you go - be patient and understanding - and the food WILL be worth the wait. If you are in a rush - please go through the McDonalds drive-thru, thanks.
