    This place has been around for years but never gave it a chance till today. If you like PF Changs style and quality Chinese at reasonable prices this is your place. Great service, great menu, generous portions and a place worth your time to try if in Aurora or Denver area.

    Finally tried this place after driving past it so many times and I'm sure glad I did! We ordered a Cantonese bowl and lo mein noodles during lunch hours which include an egg roll, rice and salad/soup. Everything was delicious, fresh and good portions. Service was very prompt as well and pricing is decent. Will definitely be back to try more dishes! Also, a cute robot came to our table to give us our receipt at the end.

    Really awesome spot to grab some Chinese food honestly some of the best I’ve had here in Colorado, been living here for a little over 3 years now, and have tried many other spots but this one has a special place in my heart due to the quality and portion you get for the price it always is hot and ready, never chewy, taste amazing, and the service is always quick and easy I haven’t had anything go wrong so far. I never write reviews hardly, if ever. But this place is too good not to write about.

    We went here after someone at my mom’s doctor’s office recommended it. Delicious! We shared gyoza and sesame chicken. Generous portions so we actually split the leftovers. Everyone was so friendly! We will be back!

    First class experience. Best Chinese I’ve had in Colorado so far. Customer service was super well done. Even the bathrooms were clean and nice. Would recommend to a friend every day of the week.
