👍👍 I really enjoyed my lunch with Chinese foods. Prices is very reasonable when compared with other Chinese restaurants in Kingston. This place is not crowded and also they maintain it well and clean. Unfortunately I don't feel real Chinese foods taste, this is not an issue of this restaurant, that is... People often mention good, service, Chinese, great, time, chicken, customer, taste, restaurant, love,

    I really enjoyed my lunch with Chinese foods. Prices is very reasonable when compared with other Chinese restaurants in Kingston. This place is not crowded and also they maintain it well and clean. Unfortunately I don't feel real Chinese foods taste, this is not an issue of this restaurant, that is common to all Chinese restaurants in Jamaica, we can't enjoy real taste of Chinese foods in Jamaica but compared to others, at least this restaurants taste is fine. I can recommend this place to all Chinese foods lovers. Hope one day we can enjoy real Asian foods taste here.

    Ordered sweet and sour chicken but did not get chicken. I dont know what kind of meat it was, but upon inspection it had a slightly fishy smell and it was way too stringy to be chicken. I will not be ordering from here again. DISGUSTING! if I could give it zero stars I would.

    One of the top 5 Chinese food restaurants in town imho. Price, service, ambience and most importantly, the food!!! So far they hold second place on my list of favorite Chinese food restaurants in Jamaica!

    Their food never disappoint. A little wait usually but totally worth it, you can call ahead and order to avoid this. Reasonably priced food and juices are also available for sale. Their Bento boxes are everything. Good food for take out or dine in with a date. Parking available.

    This restaurant has very good food. The wait time is not bad. Some of the staff members have a bad attitude and has turned me off from the food pickup experience. I get rolled eyes and short statements at times. Aside from this, most of the staff members are pleasant and always check to ensure my comfort. Would continue coming back and would recommend others to go.

  • 1/5 Kahiel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor customer service. Contacted the restaurant today via telephone 4 times and spoke to female who put me on hold 4 times without taking my order. I wanted food to be delivered, maybe service is better in person🤞

  • 4/5 Christopher L. 4 years ago on Google
    The customer service is great and the delivery time also. However the taste of the food could be better.

    If I could give this review zero star I would.Poor customer service and managerial oversight. Our food was fill with MSG which was not dissolved properly leaving the food very salty. Upon lodging a complaint the person who answered the phone hung up on us. Save your money and time and go elsewhere

  • 1/5 Sam D. 2 years ago on Google
    Serving size is okay but the food tastes horrible. Wow, wish I could get my money back.

    Hands down absolutely the best tasting Chinese food in Kingston. The ginger scallion sauce is a most have. The Wonton soup 🤤love this place, from the moment I was introduced.

  • 5/5 Deidre D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Chinese restaurant for lunch boxes. Food is delicious and good amount for your money.

  • 3/5 De. J. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is designed for takeout mainly now. Some dine in seats are available for a quick bite and then scram. The food is ok, some dishes are a hit and some are not. The place is clean, the ambiance is ok. I did hear some wind about renovation in the near future. Let's keep our fingers crossed for that development.

  • 1/5 Prince R. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered "pork with ham choy" and I haven't been so disappointed by a food purchase in a long time. Pork both smell and tasted unwashed, not even a speck of ginger to cut the taste or smell. Veg was sour like it was about to go bad. Didn't even taste like ham choy, not even the western version. It even ended up making my wife sick.

  • 5/5 Shanna J. 6 months ago on Google
    I always order the same thing (sweet and sour chicken and noodles) but they never disappoint. Their prices are good too. I am ok with the portion sizes as well. Not as much as some other restaurants but enough for the price and I am not left wanting.

  • 1/5 chettahmal 9 months ago on Google
    I really hoped I would have loved this restaurant but unfortunately I’m pretty upset. I ordered the two meat w/ lo mein to go and when I got home and checked my food I had ~4 small pieces of each of the meats. So ~8 small pieces of meat total. I was pretty upset, as it wasn’t enough food to split between two people like I had planned. Spending $1,550.00 on that frankly felt like a waste of my time and money

  • 5/5 Samantha L. 7 months ago on Google
    I just always get fried rice with sweet and sour chicken pretty basic all the time but real good !

  • 2/5 allan b. 9 months ago on Google
    This was my go-to place to get my Chinese food but as of late (3 different occasions) their chicken and pork have been spoilt. I don't know if they have a freezer issue now but it was never like this before.

    Place it quiet, not alot of traffic when I get there. Lunch special is always available. At time phone # is hard to get to.

  • 1/5 Darren B. 3 years ago on Google
    Not sure what the hype is about this place or maybe my expectations are too high but both times I ordered here I was disappointed. The last time I got Teriyaki chicken which cost over $3,200 and I had to throw it away. It was super salty and had soya sauce drowning everything, the rice wasn’t properly cooked. My advice, don’t get Teriyaki if you chance this place. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED 😔

  • 4/5 Jermaine D. 6 years ago on Google
    A mix of both worlds Chinese and Japanese dishes. Cosy dining area ideal for couples or small groups of friends looking for something oriental. Quality and nutritious meals, priced well.

  • 3/5 Sean J. 4 years ago on Google
    Had take out here off the lunch menu. The food was good. I had the malah and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice, a little pricey but a good eat. Price range: 700-2000+

  • 4/5 Kurt C. 5 years ago on Google
    Loving the chicken in black bean sauce

  • 5/5 Shanique S. 5 years ago on Google
    This was a really lovely dining experience. The customer service was exceptional, the decor maximized on the ethnicity of the restaurant. A very clean and relaxed environment, where you can actually hear your self think and have a meaningful conversation. The food was really good and good portions for the dishes that I got. My only itch was that the table wasnt reset with napkins and no one offered, but they don't hesitate if you ask. Definitely going back.

  • 4/5 Angilou g. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has an intimate kind of ambience, that makes you feel homy & classy. Its good for the whole family to enjoy delicious meals. The waiter "Travis" was very warm and friendly and efficient as much as possible considering he was the only waiter on the floor at the time. My family was celebrating my son's birthday and we enjoyed the place.
