    I'm not even sure where to start with this review..... I guess I can start by saying that the people in this restaurant are truly sincere. I felt like I knew everyone that I spoke with. Ms Georgia was excellent with explaining everything that was on the menu, she broke down what she thought that we wanted, and all I can say is that it was damn good!!! The chicken was cooked to perfection, the yams were sweetened just right, and the mac and cheese almost made me cry. This was truly off of the beaten path for a tourist like myself, but it was truly worth it.

    This little jewel was recommended a few weeks back and finally was sort of in the area to give it a try. Reminded me of home of Sweetie Pies and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed the smothered chicken meal and for later the shrimp fried rice at first it appeared that the shrimp was not included had to change containers. The only suggestions I would recommend is just a bit more shrimp in the 1/2 order and not so heavy on the salt in the greens other than that the yams, chicken, gravy, cornbread and mac n cheese are delicious.

    I was not pleased for my wife suggesting this place and for good reason. Half of their menu was crossed out, their attitudes are horrible, no manners and the food was indescribable. All I can say is they can not cook. Not to mention the 25 minute wait for 4 wings, 3 pieces of catfish and nasty burnt fries.

    Late night walk up window soul food. Lots of flavor, most things we tried were fantastic. One thing we didn't love was the Mac and cheese, it was more of a butter noodle with some melted cheese chunks. It was still good, but not what I expected for Mac and cheese. Chicken was great, rice was solid. They were sold out of a lot of things I wanted to try, but that's usually a good sign.

    I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant. The dish that stood out to me was the delightful combination of fried rice and crispy Chicken wings, accompanied by a flavorful side of collard greens. The greens were exceptionally well-prepared, surpassing my expectations. In fact, I regret not ordering a second helping. Additionally, the service I received was top-notch, further enhancing my overall satisfaction with the establishment.

    My husband and I stayed in Vegas a few days ago and decided to order doordash. We stumbled across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. The food was excellent! It arrived hot and quick. We were definitely impressed. Great food and service!

    The food is decent here, especially for Vegas! But the place is in the ghetto and the customer service reflects that. It’s not a place you can eat inside or wait inside so you have to order and wait in your car. They say 20 minutes but you’ll end up waiting closer to 45 minutes

    Listen...if you're in Vegas do NOT leave without getting a Bruce Leroy. The marriage of Asian and Soul foods is a whole vibe in your mouth. Service was a little slow but we went at like 3:30 in the morning and everything tasted like they cooked it fresh, so it's forgivable. I can't say much for atmosphere because it's not a sit down type place. Delicious and I can't wait to eat it again!

    I've ordered and eaten from this place multiple times but this experience takes the cake ! First and Foremost, This online menu on their website is VERY INACCURATE AND MISLEADING. I called to place an order for the "Smothered Chicken Wings Dinner" on the site it states $12.95 , however over the phone speaking to the NASTY cashier she stated that meal of only 4 wings was $20 . Not to mention the CANS of soda are $2 a piece & don't come with your meal. It is really simply about principle and not even really price, Why have a disgusting attitude because the establishment YOU WORK AT has an inaccurate website . Please retrain your cashiers , or simply replace the old and in with the new ! They represent the neighborhood EXTREMELY well .

    The first time I went there I got fish and it was so fresh and crispy and the seasoning was perfect. The second time I went the chicken wings was goodt! I definitely would say if you like fried food, you won’t be disappointed. The shrimp fried rice I’ll say that was ok…I know shrimp is expensive anyways, so if you want shrimp fried rice get it Al a carte with extra shrimp if you have a taste for it!

    OK I’m just gonna be straight up every other Chinese restaurant in Vegas is trash compared to this place I am from Massachusetts. This is definitely just like East Coast Chinese food. The Chinese food on the West Coast has been nothing but A flavorless nightmare this fried rice they’re selling out of here is like beyond flavorful it’s nice and dark with color. Everything is perfect about that rice. The chicken wings are banging the egg foo young is just like back home so if you’re from the East Coast and you miss East Coast Chinese food drop everything you’re doing and run to this place you won’t regret it. Thank y’all for being here. I needed a good Chinese spot. It’s been almost 3 years of eating garbage. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

    Really good. I had the catfish, yams and macaroni. Yams are my favorite, they could have had a bit more flavor so 4 stars, but I still cleaned my plate! She was super nice and was in there jammin

    First time dining there. Food is cooked to order, so you know it's hot. French fries are the bomb. Best I have had in a long time. Food was awesome. Check it out.

    In town for a few days and this place caught my eye. We ordered burritos and were told they would take 30min, whatever.. we're patient. 30mins passed and they're still not ready. The woman said 5 more mins and she'd bring them to us. 20 more mins passed and nothing. We go back to the window and finally get our order. THE FOOD WAS BOMB! Yall just need to get more organized and then your service would be better. Work smarter, not harder.

    Saltiest fried chicken and fried rice I've ever had. These Black folk don't know how to make Chinese food Convinced the positive reviews are all made by friends and family

  • 4/5 Loowee 11 months ago on Google
    I ordered the chicken wings, fried rice, peach cobbler and the Chardonnay cake. The wings were amazing, very crispy and perfectly seasoned. I highly recommended them. The rice on the other hand was super salty to the point I couldn’t eat it which was a pity and a waste. The cobbler was good but a little too sweet(squeeze a lemon on it) the Chardonnay cake was okay. It’s a Bundt style spiced cake. I tasted no wine in it whatsoever. I would skip it. Otherwise service was fast and good. Also I’m not sure if they are aware that there number isn’t listed on Google to place orders meaning that you gotta drive there, order and wait in the heat. No bueno

  • 4/5 Arieana D. 10 months ago on Google
    Best Chinese food in Vegas. But Long wait times and you order at a windown and either stand in the heat or in ur car for 30-40mins before food is ready. Good for a craving fix but be prepared to wait.

  • 5/5 April M. 11 months ago on Google
    Food is sooo good. I ordered the catfish sandwich on Uber eats and they were out. They went out of their way and called me to let me know they were out and asked if I wanted something else. I got the wing dinner instead and they also provided me with a complimentary dessert (caramel cake). It was all sooo good!

  • 1/5 JimE C. 8 months ago on Google
    Found this place on DoorDash. Sounds interesting let’s try it I did not read the reviews before ordering I like to form my own opinion. It took forever for the food to be ready I was in contact with the dasher and he kept apologizing saying they keep saying it’s almost ready when In fact it wasn’t. Tonight was my treat night to order out and this was a waste of my treat night and money disappointed ☹️ order the Carmel cake it did not look appealing let’s just try it before I could close my mouth to chew I spit it back out this cake taste store bought and that IT’s wrapped in reynolds wrap and stored-in the cake display and sweated. Horrible and I don’t know what this thing was that looked like a corn dog but that was not good as well I assume it was supposed to be a hush puppy. And then there was another cake I still have no idea what it was confused is it a spice cake or a carrot cake. I was really looking forward to egg foo young I got a container of rice what happen to the egg I used the gravy from the chicken. Please use this review to make improvements I know how hard it can be at times running a restaurant I have years of general management experience restaurants falling under that umbrella and food inspector. I pray it gets better. Would like to try again in 3 months

    Initially, gave us wrong order. A much larger and heavier order… Then got home and found out we didn’t have hot water corn bread, old hard Mac and cheese, wrong fried rice, and egg foo Young. Tried calling and their voicemail isn’t set up. To add insult to injury their prices increased for poor customer service on top of everything. It’s sad when you have to debate your order with someone. Went from 5 to 2 stars. Two because the egg foo Yong and gravy are still delicious.

    This is a little shack you could miss if you blink. That would be a shame. Everything I've had so far, excellent. Customer service is awesome. She is a sweetheart. She has a familiar personality. The little one in the back has a big presence. I love it.

  • 3/5 KenPon C. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the lemon pepper wings and fried rice it was OK but I'm giving all 3 stars for the Chardonnay cake and the caramel cake (the dessert is the best thing to me)!! Location and appearance of restaurant sucks...should be much better.

    I went here today. There were no other customers there when I arrived . I waited over 35-40 minutes before I got my food. Mind you, I ordered hamburger 🍔 & fries 🍟. The burger was slapped together and thrown in the bag with the fries, the bag was extra greasy. I vowed to support black owned businesses…this place makes it very hard to. Very disappointed !!

    Incredible! This restaurant is one of the best in the area. Fresh vegetables and juicy crispy chicken. I promise you wont be disappointed. The staff was really knowledgeable and friendly. A+

  • 1/5 Brittney D. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Order on the website . They didn’t have everything I wanted and promised to refund me the remaining balance for the items that was sold out and never did.. the rice was extremely salty as for most of the food and over fried … I know it was the end of the shift but that’s no reason to mess over people food and money …. I would never order here again
