Very quick, accurate ordering, the food is phenomenal, hot and delicious,and most importantly the two owners are so sweet and warm in their greetings! I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good night of Chinese food. 100 stars

Best chinese food in Hartford, I understand why they don't deliver, it's worth the trip, the ribs and the chicken wings are delicious, oh extra sauce on those ribs or on the side for your wings.

Cleanest Chinese restaurant in hartford you can physically see the grill/equitment always being shined cleaned service is great, every time I go in I’m always greeted well! They try to there hardest to minimize the wait time which is great.. When I order food I wait less than 2 mins to be acknowledged and served!! The food is always fresh and good!

This is by far the best oriental cuisine in Hartford. The portions are worthy of 5 stars. The General Tao's Chicken melts in my mouth, the pork fried complimented the General Tao's. A added delight the egg roll, cooked with a gentle crispy outer layer, and inside a delectable surprise. I give this two thumbs up and Five stars

I have been getting good from this restaurant since I was a kid and I love to go and get it. The lady is so nice and friendly and her husband is too. Lunch specials are awesome. Food is cooked right in front of you. Hot and spicey is my favorite. She stopped doing teriyaki. Also if you are going make sure u have CASH they don't take cards

I always order from them ! They have this bbq fried chicken wings with French fries boom🍟 (someone posted a photo and it lived up to the pic !). I called ahead one night but took a bit to pick up the food, when I got there they happily heated up my food for me before serving and took care of me like any other day ! They’re a great lil couple ! Would go there any day !

great restaurant, in my opinion; it's one of the best in Hartford. Great customer service skills and you can rest assured that your food will always be hot. I use to buy from another Chinese restaurant before this and when I came to this restaurant, I automatically made it my home. The crew are friendly and welcoming. I'm just waiting for them to start offering delivery service.

Not much of a restaurant setting, but the food is really tasty! I ordered the chicken wings and fries and curry chicken based on the reviews (pictures). They delivered!! 😋

The food is overall tasty especially the appetizers and strongly flavored dishes. The mildly flavored dished are a little bland. Wonderful dumpling, wings, chicken fingers, and the french fries are good too. The general Tso chicken is very good too. Crunchy and not soggy.

The food was good and easy to order over the phone. They called me back to tell me when the food was ready. I wasn't a long wait to get the food and it was tasty. This place is also small and not very busy. I'd go there again if I had the chance :)

Meat was old and hard. When I complained she insisted it was fresh, then hung up. Disgusting. Lost my appetite. Bad service too. She sat there eating in my face while I waited for service. Then when she was serving others meat straight from the grease, she shook it one then put it in the platter. She did the same with my shrimp roll. Disgusting. Don't eat here....

I had an absolutely horrible experience at this place. I ordered chicken wings with white rice and steamed dumplings, and not only was I overcharged, but the food was also inedible. The chicken wings were dry and tasted like they had been sitting out for hours, the rice was stale, and the steamed dumplings smelled and tasted rotten. Avoid this place at all cost !!!
