    WOW! TRULY AMAZING. I've been looking for a Chinese place that serves it "Puerto Rican" style and this truly met my expectations. The rice was super good, only thing I didn't like was the beans sprouts in it, and it didn't have the traditional little ham pieces :( BUT still super good! The boneless spare ribs were AWESOME. They were skinnier strips than usual which made it easier for me* to eat and the sauce was super good and sweet. They even had Champs Kola which I LOVE. My bf got fried pork and mofongo, I tried it and DAMN BOTH WERE SUPER GOOD. The fried pork was super crunchy and tasty, and the mofongo was actually the best one we've had so far in Tampa. I will be coming back. The only thing was, we had to wait like 30 to 40min for our food to be ready, but they were busy too, so I'll just order take out and drive the 28min and it'll be ready by the time I get there. The place needs a bit more work, aesthetically, but I don't care as long as the foods great, which was !

    Food was ok. Fried rice was kind of mushy and bland. The egg roll was excellent 👌

    This place is dingy and very small; it's right next to a strip club and across the street from Busch Gardens and Adventure Island. The food is good but this isn't a place to sit in and eat comfortably with family.

    I’m from New York been missing that style Chinese food. The rib tips were really good and the shrimp egg rolls were full of flavor. The chicken wings were fried perfectly. The rice was really good. I’d definitely recommend this place to my fellow NYCers who are looking for a Chinese restaurant that’s like back home. Next time I plan on getting the fried half chicken and some tostones. I’m so excited because it’s been a long time since I found a Chinese restaurant that had rib tips, fried half chicken and tostones on the menu. Definitely check them out.

    I ordered the fried rice with half chicken- The rice was really good. The chicken, however, was extremely dry and the skin tasted a little weird. I just picked what I could and ate what I could. This is the second time it happens and I ordered it thinking the first time was a fluke. My husband got the bourbon chicken- again, the rice was really good and the sauce was also tasty, but the chicken itself was also dry. I live about 35 mins away otherwise I would’ve brought it back.

    An average place serving both chinese and latino dishes. Latino menu is limited to mostly basic dishes served with tostones or mofongo. Food is average. If you are one of the lucky people who knows about Puert Rican chinese rice, they DO NOT have that here.

    The place does not look inviting at all, but the food is really good. First time I went as a friend told me about this place. Now whenever we come to Busch Gardens we stop at this location (the food is that good).I recommend calling in advance to minimize time waiting.

    I gave it a try because I passed by. Very unimpressed. The idea sounds alright, but executed pretty horribly. My stir fry with mofongo was dry, boring, nothing I’d come back for. I kind of ate it to have food in my stomach, but would never ask for it again.

    Was my first time visiting and the food was pretty good. The house special Mai Fun was on point but the spare rib tips were kinda dry. I will be back to try the Latina menu though.

    First time here ordered carne frita with vegetable fried rice, egg roll and wonton soup and the food was flavored just right so I would recommend it to everyone I know..

  • 4/5 Ezequiel I. Sánchez V. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was very good. I loved how they mixed Latin and Chinese food in one restaurant.

  • 4/5 Miosoti P. 9 months ago on Google
    They took a long time to complete a order for 4, and the place looks depressing and dirty. The food was ok, but not what I expected as eating from a Latin Chinese place back in Puerto Rico is a great thing for us.

  • 4/5 Josue M. 8 months ago on Google
    Food is very very good. But the place could use a makeover.

  • 4/5 Dino 1. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has really good food and it's not bad service sometimes 🤔 not the best but overall most of the employees are friendly and not all the time 1 out of 10 you might get something over cooked but I like there food 👍👌

  • 5/5 Mercedes F. 1 year ago on Google
    Love them. Although they take lomg, you have the option to do as I do, order by phone and then go get it. Its worth the wait

  • 1/5 Cindy V. 5 months ago on Google
    I dont know what the hype is all about. The place is dirty staff is rude and the food was NASTY!. my stomach hurts the rice is not fresh its pre heated. I can tell the chicken curry is not real chicken. I know what chicken looks and taste like and its not that hope I didn't just taste cat never again GROSS!. waste of money and lunch time.
