    Our party of 10 became 12. We were accommodated. I don’t like to complain because I know it’s not easy to serve 12 people at once but the food didn’t come out at the same time until we said something. The food tasted excellent as always but I noticed all the dishes had less meat and more vegetables. I still love this place and will come again.

    We always have a very good experience/meal there; tonight we had an old receipt (not ours) in our salt & Pepper sea bass dish. Very odd

    I was really impressed with the food. Coming from the Bay Area I have not had decent Chinese food up in the Sacramento/Roseville area thus far. Even the hot jasmine tea was to my liking. There wasn’t one dish that I wasn’t pleased with which is very rare for me. I would say the only thing I didn’t like which prevented me from giving 5 stars is the heavy cigarette smoke smell from the casino. It really made me feel sick after such a wonderful meal. I wish they would close the doors and run a fan inside. I do want to return but the cigarette smell is the only thing keeping me from going back.

    We went there before a concert. We got quick service, the food was really good, pricing very reasonable, service amazing. We were finished in time to get to the concert on time. It all worked out perfectly.

    Had a lovely meal with my family last night. My favorite dishes are the BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Crispy Fried Flounder, Chicken Wings, and Honey Walnut Prawns. Ordered the Queen Clams, but was disappointed that it wasn't steamed in the shell, and instead had the meat of it served in bowl. We're more used to whole, steamed clams, but lesson learned there! But overall it was a great experience and meal, with exceptional service

    We had reservations so when we got there we were seated promptly. We got there when it first opened so our server took our order and food came fairly quickly. EVERYTHING was AMAZING! We ordered the wor wan ton soup which was flavorful and packed with wonton veggies and shrimp, chicken and pork pieces. Then we got our Honey Walnut Shrimp which was crispy with just enough coating to make it so tasty and there were beautiful toasted walnuts on the side sprinkled with sesame seeds, second we had the sweet and sour chicken which was balanced with lots of chicken in a crispy coating and light but flavorful sauce. We also had the shrimp fried rice which was really tasty and was a great complement to our entrees. We were pleasantly surprised as this was our first visit and we look forward to returning!!! Great service, great food, beautiful surroundings.
