Good-to-great service. Really wish I could say the same about the food. Serving sizes were generous, and although the food that I had ordered was properly cooked, the prep was way off (probably why so many reviews mention "tough" meat) along with sauces way over-thickened...with cornstarch. This could even be seen with dishes served to others nearby. And no appropriate hot tea(s), only a standard commercial black tea? Took the remaining/leftover Scallop with Mixed Vegetables and Steamed Rice "home" to the Airbnb for my stay in the area. I was able to recoup the heavy gelatinous mess of a scallop dish by gently warming in a 10" sauté pan, adding nearly 3 cups of water then removing the excess sauce, followed by adding about a teaspoon of soy sauce and some five-spice. This yielded the best dish ordered, although in terms of the hundreds Chinese restaurants I've dined in over the past six decades, and countless meals, the reheated dish would have ranked as "average."More

Big portions, but not very tasty. General Tso Chicken was more like sweet and sour, with light yellow sauce instead of heavy brown. Beef Lo Mein was undercooked.

We ordered takeout and were highly disappointed in the food. It had a very "fishy" taste to everything. The Crab Rangoon were the equivalent of what you can buy in the frozen food section. There was a watery sauce in a large bowl sent with...dinner that could not be identified. Not sure what it was, but we ended up eating very little of the entire dinner before throwing it all out completely. Wasted money. It's sad because they were fast, nice and gave good portions...the food just didn't taste good. :-(More

Usually love eating here but not tonight. The best part about the meal was our waitress, she was super friendly and as fast as the kitchen would allow her to be. My daughter ordered a simple meal that consisted of only rice and chicken teriyaki...and my husband ordered veggie lowmein. well my daughter's meal came out with rice only and my husband got some sort or rice dish with veggies. The waitress told us the chicken would be out soon but we hadn't opened the "lowmain". Once it was brought to her attention she was very sorry about the mistake but still took about 20 minutes to get the right dish, not her fault as she can only bring out food when she's told its ready. I'm not even going to talk about how gross my meal was as it was pretty much a ton of rice swimming in soy sauce and cold chicken fingers. The worst part was when we were leaving the person checking me out ask how it was and i was honest and told her. No sorry no nothing just an excuse that the kitchen is busy so it was either bring out the meal half finished or bring it out totally finished but cold. That is no way to run a kitchen. The whole order should be brought out at once and hot. If the kitchen staff can't handle busy nights they need to hire more staff or schedule accordingly, especially on the biggest date night of the year.More

I am surprised by the poor reviews. We have been here 4 times and have always enjoyed it. They have decent food, huge portions and it is affordable. We usually get the General Tso's Spicy Chicken, Orange Chicken and the Sweet and Sour Chicken. We...will be back again the next time we go to Farmington.More

We were welcomed and served promptly. Our waitress was sweet and professional. Unfortunately the food was so bad that we didn’t eat more than a spoonful of each dish. Somewhat edible - steamed dumplings and scallion pancakes (though the oil was stale!). The Singapore curry...noodles was the only thing that had flavor and that we shared. Couldn’t swallow - the gen GAO chicken (how can u mess that up?, the beef brocolli, shrimp fried rice. Portion sizes were huge which made it worse coz we felt bad throwing away all that food. Don’t eat there.More

I was forced to stop in Farmington due to rain, and riding on a motorcycle I decided to walk over get some food and bring it back to the room as I was staying next door. Service was fast, staff was ok nothing to get...excited about. The small bar at the front kind of throws one off as to is it a restaurant or a bar.There seemed to be a lot of customers. I ordered the Wanton Soup and then Beef Lo mein and Chicken fried rice. The both of the meals were cooked in a very dark oil or had a lot f soy sauce added to them not sure which, Had a lot of meat in them but all in huge chunks and not having a knife it was a challenge. The soup was good but again the piece of pork was huge and had to be chewed as again no knife in the bag. But in this case beggars can not be choosy and I did not feel like riding around in the rain to find supper....More

Tried this place based on some earlier reviews. Worst Chinese food that we have ever had. The fried rice and the lo mein were almost black as if it was cooked in crude oil. And the taste was terrible.

There is no buffet. You must order off the menu. They do have seafood but it is fish sticks and expensive fish sticks. Waitress was not sure of items when asked what they were. It was pricy.
