Food-
I love Chinese cuisine as much as the next fat guy. But this was not it. It was salty and much too sweet. Not something you look for in that kind of establishment.
Service-
It was ok. Most of the time one of the workers were on their phones and they weren't all that nice when me and my family ordered.
Ambiance-
I like the color of the walls. That's all I can say for it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Shayla M.Oceanside, CA033Apr 4, 2022
This place is a Panda Express knock off and a rip off.
They are rude and overprice. I came in and asked if she got a kids meal, she said yes. She gave one small scoop of noodles barely the size of half my hand and very little meat, then proceed to charge me $7. I told her that's expensive for a kids meal. If that's the case I should got the menu price . She then goes, well that is a one menu price item. I know when I'm getting taken advantage of . It's just sucks the Mall doesn't have other food places and they take advantage of that. Too make things worse, I bit into the orange chicken and it was stale and smelled a little rotten. Never coming here again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dzjr567 A.South Gate, CA01Sep 4, 2022

Unfortunately this place was not good at all. It smelled good, but the noodles were greasy and the meat was hard. Will not be going here again

The WORST Chinese fast food experience I've experienced!!! And I've had some bad ones before. This restaurant is a straight rip-off of Panda Express, but with less quantity and quality of food. The most awful thing though was the service. The manager was reprimanding an employee for giving my brother and I half-and-half of noodles and rice. Apparently, they weren't supposed to do that. Then, I asked for a little bit more of noodles. The manager then scolded me for asking for more and how she wasn't even supposed to give me half-and-half. After we checked out, she continued to talk to the employee who was helping us in a berating manner. Even though it was in Chinese, her foul attitude couldn't be mistaken for anything else other than disappointment in serving us. Her sour attitude permeated the restaurant, making me unable to eat my food.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Oct 26, 2016
This place has good food .
I was in somewhat of a hurry for lunch, and gave them a try.
The staff is friendly, the food is fresh , price is average and food tasted great !
When in the Tyler Broadway Mall, give them a try.

Food is good but the manager is one to keep a hawks eye out ensuring you get portion sized when you order. She's not afraid to scold her employees right in front of you which is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I also tend to be used to getting a water with my meals. I understand it's a courtesy from restaurants but she said no complimentary drinks cause of COVID which I thought was dumb. You want me to buy a drink, just say so.
I get most people will go anyhow but at least one should expect the worst when it comes to good service. I'm not usually a yelper, but I wrote a review for this one.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Josh D.Gladewater, TX22033Jul 26, 2018
This was a great quick fix of Chinese food. It's comparable to Panda Express. It was great! Place was clean. Food looked fresh. Very surprised to find a place like this in a shopping mall.

This place used to be mediocre being no competition. Now it's taken a step back. Not impressed with new items. Bell Peppers being one. Overbearing manager or to say hovering over employees making sure they're giving weak portions. Everything has gotten smaller. Used to be a big fan of spring rolls but not so much now. Good luck
