The service was so friendly and helpful. I got take out and everything was so delicious, and still hot when I returned to my... hotel. I am definitely looking forward to another visit! Read more
a good, small, local Chinese shop. takes a little bit to get ready but everything my sister and i have tried on the menu was... well worth it Read more
This was by far the worst Chinese food we've ever had. The combination plates are a selection of reheated leftovers and likely... rotten meats the restaurant doesn't want to waste. The "fried rice" was a dense mush, akin to stuffing, and tasted like theprevious week's surplus from a buffet. Sweet and sour pork was definitely not fresh and covered in a shocking neon red coloredsauce. As for the almond fried chicken, it probably was chicken inside, but the sauce was more cardboard-esque than nutty. Eggfoo young was a unique mound of similarly questionable origin. The only edible part of our dinner was the fried shrimp. So muchfor a fun Chinese Christmas Eve meal - my prediction for a sickly Christmas day unfortunately came true. Read more
A good example of the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover". It's a bit dingey on the outside, but it's clean and... comfortable inside. Lots of dishes to choose from and some great combo plates. I had the Sweet n' Sour pork, Egg Foo Young,Fried Prawns and BBQ pork fried rice, with Hot n' Sour Soup. A lot of food for a good price! The rice is sort of salty, soorder steamed if you're sensitive to that. My Husband ordered a combo plate with pork chow mein on it, just be aware that thenoodles in this dish are crunchy. He said it tasted great, but it wasn't what he expected. The servers are very nice andattentive. We've tried all the rest of the Chinese food in Ellensburg since moving here a few years ago and decided that thishas the best of everything and is now our "official" Chinese place! Read more
I like finding small ?hole-in-the-wall? eateries that serve surprisingly good food - and I think this place fulfills those... criteria. We ordered takeout from the Traditional Menu (online): Beef Hotpot, Pepper Spicy Shrimp, Fresh Bok Choi with GarlicSauce, and steamed white rice. The lady on the phone was very helpful, friendly, and she patiently helped me pick items fromthe menu that did not contain MSG. Each dish was a unique and enjoyable flavor experience .. and hopefully when inhouse diningre-opens someday, we can walk-in for a sit down meal. We were pleasantly surprised to find hand-written whiteboards listingitems (including Asian beverages such as Bubble Tea) that are not on the takeout or online menus. There?s street parking and asmall public parking lot (with e-car fueling) next door to the restaurant. Read more
Edit: I did it again. Delivery was quick & the girl who delivered was polite. My daughter wanted bubble tea because she?s not... feeling well so I thought, we?ll get it. I ordered 2 chai & ended up with two totally different drinks. We asked for no ice & sothey made the ?large? drinks less full. I had to laugh because if you combined our two cups it might be a cup & maybe a half. Sothey shorted both drinks because we asked for no ice plus we didn?t get the chai. The boba were ROCK HARD & nasty... ok. Lessonlearned. No, no, nope! I?ve ordered delivery & they delivered a tad late which was fine. My children were hungry & when Iordered three meals we only received two! When I phoned the restaurant to let them know an entire meal was missing- the womanthat answered the phone first of all- laughed! Secondly and worst she refused to send the missing meal let alone acknowledge it.Or comp me. Unbelievable! There food is just ok. Seems like it was previously frozen at times or refrigerated. Not freshtasting. Service is rotten. I wouldn?t give them a star at all but was forced to. Read more
The food was good and decently priced; however, the dumplings we were given were cold, and the seat where I was smelled a bit... gross. Read more
