Good all the time. So delicious. One of my favorite locations for a quick lunch or a dinner. My favorite meal is the braised beef over rice. We love it so much that we came over here Thanksgiving last year. As you can see, I ate all of it because it’s so delicious. We love this place. Thank you for the great service and delicious 😋

I ate here for the first time with my girlfriend and family and it was excellent. The food was delicious and inspired. This isn't your average Orange Chicken and General Tso's. The service was outstanding and the staff bent over backwards to accommodate my family's dietary needs. I will absolutely be coming back to sample more of their menu.

1. Service is pretty good. The food serving is quick without much wait. We were checked upon twice. But not that outstanding 2. The vibe is good. Decoration is pretty Taiwanese flavor. 3. The food experience is mixed for us. The popcorn chicken is very very good! Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The braised beef noodle, which is supposed to be their flagship dish, is absolutely disappointing. Worst one we had ever. The beef is hard instead of tender. The soup is salty and without any beef aroma (just like made of soy sauce + salt instead of any beef soup). This is really the biggest failing point. The noodle itself is good and taste like authentically handmade. I think it is still good place to go for Chinese/Taiwanese food. But lower your expectation please.

A Taiwanese spot in Reno is a pleasant surprise. The spices here are impressively authentic, delivering bold flavors without drowning the dish in salt, which is a rarity in this region. The service was efficient and friendly, with our waitress taking our order swiftly and the food arriving in under five minutes. While I appreciated the quick turnaround, I couldn’t help but wonder if some of the dishes were prepped in advance and simply reheated. Thankfully, any concerns were quickly dispelled, and the food tasted fresh and well-prepared. The beef noodle soup was a good dish, especially for Reno, though I’ve certainly had better in cities with more established Taiwanese fare. The beef was seasoned nicely but a bit dry, likely from spending too much time in the soup. Still, it wasn’t a dealbreaker, and the broth had a nice depth of flavor. The popcorn chicken bento was a standout. The fried basil was a lovely touch, and the inclusion of pickled vegetables and ground pork over rice really brought a distinct Taiwanese flavor to the plate. It felt like a thoughtful, well-balanced dish. However, the true highlight of the meal was the beef wrapped in scallion pancake. The combination of hoisin sauce with the beef was spot-on, and the stir-fried peppers tucked inside gave the dish a unique twist that set it apart from your typical Taiwanese offerings. Overall, this is a solid spot for Taiwanese food in Reno. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s certainly worth a visit, especially if you're craving something authentic in the area.

Food is authentic and very tasty! We ordered the popcorn chicken, sauté basil king mushrooms, string beans with minced pork, and satay beef noodles. All dishes came out within minutes of ordering and won over our taste buds immediately.

Very delicious. Top notch Taiwanese food you can find in America. We ordered fried tofu and popcorn chicken bento, both are very good.

Was in town for a conference and was surprised to see a Taiwanese restaurant in Reno! The place felt very authentic, with even the Taiwan news network playing on the TV in the restaurant. Got the bento and the sauté A-vegetable for takeout and both were delicious, highly recommend

I discovered the best food in Reno I've ever tasted! All the food I ordered are amazing! Also, I was seriously impressed by the roasted pig feet! The skin was perfectly crispy, while the meat inside was tender and flavorful. The seasoning was just right—not too salty, but super savory. Each bite had just the right amount of richness without being too greasy. You can tell it’s cooked with care. And the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys authentic traditional Taiwan food. . Definitely be back for more!

Everything we ordered brought something special to the table. This spot nails Taiwanese comfort food with intensity and heart. The Beef Combination Appetizer Platter came with tender beef shank, chewy tofu skin, crunchy pickled cucumber, cabbage, and a drizzle of savory sauce. A great starter with layers of flavor and texture, perfect for sharing. The Fried Pork Intestine was unexpectedly addictive, crispy, rich, and full of umami. Not for the faint of heart, but absolutely worth it if you're adventurous. The Popcorn Chicken delivered the classic Taiwanese night market flavor, crispy, seasoned, and served hot with fragrant basil leaves. The Drunken Chicken was cold, silky, and delicately infused with rice wine. Clean-tasting and refreshing between bites of the richer dishes. The Beef Pancake Roll was flaky, warm, and generously filled with tender beef and scallions. One of the best we've had. Quick service, generous portions, and food that feels like home or a trip to a Taiwanese street stall. I'd happily come back for the beef noodle soup next time!

They are open on the 4th of July! If you're hungry and want Great Food this is the place! We ordered Curry Chicken and Rice, Taiwanese Mustard Vegetables, Wonton in Chili Oil. The food comes out fast and everything was delicious! We ate everything! We will definitely make coming here a good habit.

The location is very convenient from the casino, easy access to parking. I ordered the basil squid and the tased just fine. They don't have more than stemmed rice which is not very tasty. The service is find, and the environment looks clean. In general, they are much like last generation Taiwanese food, not too much fancy stuff.

My experience here was great! I got to try out thier general chicken and fried tofu it was really good and for the drinks I had tai tea. The servers where cool and patient with me I was overwhelmed with how many options they have for food. Ambiance is great I do like how it looks indoors it feels like im in a different place a small escape from town!

Another flavorful trip to 101 Taiwanese, the goat of quick, savory, filling Asian food. This time I tried some of Michael's favorite recommendations on Yelp- the popcorn chicken and the beef pancake and boy was I blown away. The popcorn chicken was so soft yet crispy and had this subtle sweetness to it. I can't believe I had never ordered it before! The beef pancake was also super tender and the crispy veggies gave it a satisfying crunch and texture. I don't know how they serve the food mere minutes after you order it, it's there before you know it and piping hot too! Fastest service in all of Reno! I feel that I have finally perfected my 101 order- scallion pancakes, eggplant basil disk, bok choy and tofu, garlic noodles, beef pancake, beef and peppers, popcorn chicken and wontons in chili oil will never disappoint you! Love coming back time and time again.

Tonight was a disaster! I ordered delivery, so no points taken off for that (he was quick!). I ordered potstickers for an appetizer. Guess what, they weren't sticky at all! They were boiled and had no crisp whatsoever. My entrée was the Black pepper Pork Chop. Honestly, it was ok, but not worth the price I paid. I assumed it would have been cut off the bone so that I could eat it with a fork or chop sticks. Alas, I had to fish the bones out of my pork chop. Weird. It looks good on the plate, but as they say, an image is worth 1,000 words. This image doesn't do it justice. I can't finish this plate.

I haven't been here in years!!! A friend never had Taiwanese beef noodle soup before and was wondering where he can find it so I brought him here for lunch. The inside hasn't changed much. It's always clean. I got there before him and was seated right away but the service made me very uncomfortable. As I was sitting down, the lady server asked me what I want to order without giving me a menu so I was very confused. I know that a lot of locals come here so they probably know the menu by hand but to tourists and others, I found it a bit weird. My friend eventually arrived and our server did the same thing to him. For appetizer, we got the beef wrapped pancakes and chicken wings and braised beef noodle soup for entrees. We also got boba at the end as a little to go dessert. Food was delicious and did not disappoint. I just wished our server was more considerate on her ordering timing. Would definitely be coming back for more food!

Wow.. not sure what went wrong here. Ordered delivery, got the dumplings in chili oil, the calamari, black pepper chow mein, and orange/tangerine chicken. The chow mein and chicken aren't awful, will we order them again? No. But the dumplings had this absolutely sour taste that hit immediately when you bit into it. They are filled with meat so is highly concerning.. the calamari is now literally just funnel cake batter and nothing like pictures we saw. So sweet, no meat, so disappointing. All in all, nothing about any of the food we ordered was something we ate readily.. but wasted over $70 for 2 things we couldn't eat and 2 things we didn't care to eat

Condensed bun w milk: crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was decent but also a lot of bread. Pork rib noodle soup: the broth was flavorful and probably the best part about this dish. The pork rib was chewy and kind of fatty. I liked the noodles which were thick and the radish that came in the soup. Spicy chicken with basil: spice level was 1/10. Not spicy. The sauce was a thick black bean sauce which was tasty. The chicken was tender, but it did include the skin which was chewy.

101 has always been a solid option for many years. Our go to has always been beef wrapped pancake and pork belly bao. Do we need an entree in addition to that? No. But did we want one? Yes. They didn't have sweet and sour pork but had sweet and sour spare ribs. They were just ok. Sauce was great, but rather have cubes of pork than the ribs (personal preference). Service is always fast and food always gives that comfort, good for the soul vibes.

Unpopular opinion. I thought this place was just mid. Food and service were both just okay. I came on a Sunday afternoon for lunch with my sister and there was a small wait (~30 mins). The restaurant is quite small so it gets packed pretty quickly. Braised beef noodle soup: I saw almost every table ordered this. The noodles were thick and the soup had some good beef flavor. This is perfect for a cold winter day. Big chunks of beef but I find it a little chewy and dry. Popcorn chicken: batter was quite light but what threw me off was that it was sweet. I wished that they put more seasoning. The chicken itself is soft and tender. Stir-fry basil clam: best dish I've had here. Clams were small in size but the flavor was good. The sauce they used in this dish was garlicky which I like. They also had napa cabbage which soaked up the yummy sauce! Boba milk tea: A little too sweet and milky for my preference. Boba wasn't chewy and the center was a little hard. Fresh papaya shake: papaya flavor wasn't prominent probably since it's not in season. Would not order again. Probably would not visit again but if you are really craving Asian food in Reno, this might be a good place to check out.

We were not offered the lunch menu which is a decent deal, the regular menu is not. Once we asked for the lunch menu she gave it to us. The mapo tofu tasted good, but not homemade. It reminded me of the mapo mix you get in a packet at the Asian store... I have made authentic before and there is a depth of flavor which this did not have it. The most disappointing part was the kung pao shrimp. I cook a ton of shrimp. I know what it tastes like when it is freshly prepared and I know what it tastes like when it has been sitting in a warming dish for too long. This dish tasted like the latter... I believe they took the shrimp out of a leftover soup or another dish and reused it in tour kung pao. TERRIBLE! We would not go back and do not recommend.

The menu and chef have changed, and the food is nowhere near as good as before. The portions are very small and overpriced. Some of the street food items are clearly just frozen that have been reheated, and others are premade dishes which are very unhealthy and definitely not fresh. The Chinese waitress is very mean and rude as well. Don't recommend!!!!

Can't complain. I enjoyed their lunch special here. Eggplant with pork and side of pork egg rolls was awesome! With fried rice and hot and sour soup. Best of all it was affordable. I came in at 2pm and they close at 3pm. Got seated right away and the food came out fast. Huge portions too! Server was great and friendly and the place was not pack at all. Lots of seats and very comfortable ambiance. Restroom was clean too! Free parking at the location but I had to go around since I missed the entrance. I will go back here again when I'm in town.

We came here last week. We ordered the chicken leg with rice and the beef noodle soup. The service was extremely fast--so fast that within one minute of ordering, the waitress brought our food. This made us suspect they have a steam table in the back keeping dishes pre-made. The beef noodle soup tasted fine, but the chicken dish was a big disappointment. The chicken tasted stale, almost like it had been sitting for a month. Unfortunately, my partner got sick for days after eating it. While I understand the appeal of quick service, freshness and food safety should come first. This experience left us with no desire to return.

Came in for last week with a friend and had an incredible experience. Arrived as they opened and was quickly greeted by one of the employees who provided menus and waters. Opted for the sweet and sour chicken lunch special without the sauce which is one of the many lunch entrees you can choose that also comes with one piece of an app (opted for veggie egg roll) and white rice or fried rice (opted for white). All of which came out fresh, hot and tasty! Additionally ordered the wontons in chili oil. While great in taste I thought they would come out crispy then tossed in chili oil. They were steamed. Great service, ambience is chill which is great for a lunch spot and conveniently located adjacent to midtown/downtown!

I expected a lot from a Taiwanese restaurant because I know that Taiwanese food is savory and tasty. However, this restaurant did not live-up with the expectation, unfortunately. I ordered Braised beef noodle soup, stinky tofu, and popcorn chicken. I can't taste the beef broth from the soup. It felt like I am sipping a hot soy and water soup. The egg noodles, although cooked al dente, does not have any taste and there's no umami in it. The popcorn chicken didn't stand out as well -- there's no taste in the chicken and it only tasted the flour or cornstarch batter. The stinky tofu is what I expected, stinky but good. Just like the tofu I had when I was in Taiwan. The service is good. The guy is really nice and accomodating, especially when I asked if I can leave my son's carseat, and my husband will just pick it up, and he was okay with it. Ambiance is okay. They have televisions in every corner. I just don't like the show in one television, because it showed crimes in Taiwan or China I think -- at that time it was a raid in a bar or prostitution house -- I don't like it, especially I have a kid with me. Maybe let's choose a family-friendly show next time. Overall, so far the food I ordered did not stand out. I'm not sure if I will go back or if I will dine again, I will not order these food I had.

Was in Reno for a concert. Came here for lunch before heading back to town. They were not busy so we were seated right away. It was our first time here so we wanted to try many dishes! They offer many selections on their menu. Rice, noodles, soups, entrees, appetizers, snacks. Prices were average. Crispy pork rolls: It was alright. Nothing special about it. I do not personally recommend it. Scallion pancake: Crispy, quite flaky, a bit too oily but it was good. Beef chow mein: Flavor was on point. I liked that fact that it had a bit of the 'wok hei' taste. Beef wrapped pancake: One of the best beef roll I ever had so far. It was really good. The wrap was pretty thick but I didn't mind. Filling was flavorful. Sweet & sour pork: Flavor was ok but meat was pretty tough. Service was quick. Portion was decent. A legit Chinese/Taiwanese restaurant. Small parking lot but there are street parking available.

Been to this restaurant a few times now to give it an honest review. Food quality and taste has been consistent, good tasty food and well seasoned. Portions are little on the smaller size compared to other lunch spots but you have a good variety of options to choose from on the lunch menu. Quick service and staff is attentive. Restaurant environment seems clean, a little crowded inside but a lot of seating. From what we have ordered, I would recommend the beef noodle soup. Soup comes with enough beef and noodles, it's definitely a big meal. I would also recommend the chow mein and honey walnut shrimp. Shrimp is not overcooked and chow mein is not greasy.

Overall we found the food to be a mix of some good and some less so. Their feature dish of the beef noodle soup is good, while other dishes such as the scaling pancake, wontons, and dumplings were less flavorful. Overall a nice option for Asian food in Reno, but I've had better in other cities. Interior is clean and dark wood themed and the service was responsive.

As a person of Taiwanese descent, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Reno has an authentic Taiwanese restaurant that heavily rivals those of the 626 in LA. They have an extensive menu of almost every Taiwanese dish you can think of, including beef wrapped pancakes, vermicelli with intestines/oysters, beef noodle soup, stinky tofu, popcorn chicken, lu ruo fan, and much more! We ordered on UberEats, and the food came quickly, arriving hot and well-packaged. Everything was very authentic and large in portions (except the stinky tofu), bringing back nostalgic memories of my mother's cooking and my visits to Taiwan. Definitely recommend checking them out if you're craving a homestyle-cooked Taiwanese meal! Featured here: Stinky tofu Vermicelli with pork intestines Beef noodle soup Beef wrapped pancakes

This is my first time back in a while, and I'm impressed that they have stayed opened since most of the adjacent shops have changed (there was still a Starbucks on the corner the last time I was here). Service: friendly, fast. Ambience: ample seating. Also seems like they updated their decor, and it gives the restaurant a classier vibe. Food: Turnip cake: 9/10. Just the right amount of crisp on the outside, a little too soft on the inside. Wish there was more actual filling on the inside - it mostly just tasted like batter. Scallion pancakes: 9/10. Good flavor and texture, but presentation could use more work. Some parts were a little burnt. Overall, I walked out satisfied and will return! Glad to still have this little gem given that Reno is a desert (no pun intended) when it comes to authentic Chinese cuisine.

Man, it's just not the same as it was since my first review. Prices are higher than the Bay area but the quality is not worth it. The basil chicken was like they just cooked it but just added sauce on top... No marination to infuse the chicken. The popcorn chicken lacked crispness of being freshly fried, like it had been sitting around too long. Beef stew noodles were so-so, but not worthy of that price. Minced pork over rice was all rice and little pork. Altogether, a forgettable experience. Perhaps I should have known, as there was no lineup for tables ahead of us, as there had in years past.

This place is amazing. I've been here when it's busy and not but, their service is always great. I highly recommend ordering their popcorn chicken and fried rice. This place can service a group or solo. They have a lot of seating inside but, can be crowded in the weekend . I would definitely come back.

Oh I really need to come here more often, because everything is sooo good. They serve the best Mapo Tofu I've had in the US. It's so good, especially after a long hike on the snowy trail. Comfort food that is actually good for you! Son had chicken katsu bento, and we were not quite sure if what he got was actually katsu, or karaage. Either way, it was the best fried chicken we've had in a long time; juicy but crispy, perfectly seasoned, and fragrant with yuzu pepper. The service is personable and wonderful, the place is clean, and popular! One of my favorite Asian restaurants.

Same review I gave last time really. The place is good. And those that enjoy more traditional, real taiwanese food will probably be happy with their giant menu. Price is on par with most similar places around town and staff is friendly.

idk if i'm used to good chinese food but this place was a solid 3/10. every thing ordered in my party of 7 was subpar and mediocre. idk how this place has stayed open and is constantly packed. didn't even finish my food and i never waste food it was that mid, i'll save my appetite for something better. i do not recommend if you've had genuine chinese food.

Going in with only 35 minutes before closing lunchtime, was tricky but the food as ALWAYS was so good. Having 6 adults and 2 little ones was tricky but service was quicker being the time frame. The ambiance was as friendly and fast as always. I know better now to go earlier for a leisurely lunch.

I'm not sure what 101 in the name means, but if it's like school, the Taiwanese food we had was pretty 101 Basic. Our initial impression was off to a bad start when trying to check in. The Yelp reservation kiosk was not functioning and the wife goes to the counter for assistance. Waiting, the host with the reddish face staff assisted a guy that walked up after her and when she asked for a table and noted the iPad tablet wasn't working, he dismissed her saying it's working. Rude enough that she wanted to leave, I really wanted to try the food as it's rare to find Taiwanese cuisine in Reno and the dining room was 100% Asian which is a good sign. I approached the counter to speak to the same host, told him the tablet isn't working and his response was to check it - not sure why he accepted it wasn't working when I asked. He restarted the app and I checked in. After a 2min wait we were seated. I had noted a little ribbon next to their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup on their digital display and will always try this bowl as a litmus test. We ordered the following: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. It looked like it wasn't going to be spicy and the first sip of soup confirmed it. The noodles were average, the beef tender and the soup while flavorful lacked any punch. This was Beef Noodle Soup. At $18 a bowl, I will not order it again. Nothing special, but also not bad. Add heat to this bowl. Beef Wrapped Pancake. This fairly good. The sauce used in the wrap, the sparse herbs and beef was good. The only issue I have with it is the pancake itself. It is thicker than it should be and not nearly as toasted as it should be. This left the mid section of the roll rather chewy as the wrap gave way to the oil. Probably wouldn't order again until they get the wrap right. Spicy Basil Chicken. This was like a home cooked dish. Something I'd make that would be pretty good at home, but short on expectations ordered in a restaurant. Plentiful chicken pieces for sure and the basil came through. It had zero heat much like the "spicy" beef noodle and a fairly one dimensional sweetened soy sauce marinade. Couldn't taste the ginger and the single jalapeño was a token just for presence it seemed. I suggest mincing the ginger and adding it towards the end of the cook, using more jalapeños with seeds to add more heat and topping the dish with some crispy basil leaves to emphasize it as well as plating appearance. Garlic Noodles. This was the first dish that arrived and it is fantastic. This is probably the best garlic noodle we've had. Sadly, it set the bar of expectation that wasn't followed by any of our other dishes. The place was busy and the decor nothing out of the ordinary while consistent with the restaurant's cuisine. The service once seated was prompt and the older lady was pleasant. I may consider trying other dishes here if only to have their garlic noodle again.

The food was amazing. Ordered the wine chicken and the scrambled eggs with shrimp along with rice. Wine chicken was 'chef's kiss's. Love the scrambled eggs with shrimp. Would've personally like a bit more flavor but still very well done. Food was clean and yummy. Would love to order from there again.

During our trips to Ramen 4 Real we would talk about trying Taiwanese food at 101. What is Taiwanese food - it's very similar to Chinese with nuances in the flavors. We both went with the lunch combination - very reasonably priced. I love hot & sour and 101 did not miss on theirs. Very flavorful if not as sour as traditional Chinese. Full of veg, tofu and noodles - it was great. General chicken was good and egg fried rice decent as well. Came with a gyoza as an appetizer - filled with pork. Did not come with the traditional dipping sauce. Should have gone with something ala carte to try something more traditional Taiwanese - popcorn chicken, etc. Gives us a great reason to return - which we will!!

One of the most popular places in Reno so I definitely want to come check it out. I've never had the chance to try this place despite coming to Reno many times. It was very crowded on a Saturday night and we waited for over an hour and ended up not being able to eat there because we had another event to attend. We ended up going to the following day on Sunday a little after they just opened and was seated within five minutes. We ordered a few things including popcorn chicken, pineapple shrimp, shredded pork with tofu, beef noodle soup and chicken leg rice plate. Service was okay, food and alright as well. The pineapple shrimp was similar to a honey walnut shrimp texture and taste but with added pineapples. The beef noodle soup was also okay, but a little bland to our taste. The popcorn chicken was a little on the sweeter side, breading could have been better in my opinion. Parking was okay it's in a small plaza but it seems like most people walk there from the hotels. Its about a 5-6 min walk from Circus Circus and Silver Legacy. Overall it was nice to try once. I can see the appeal since there's no Chinese food/restaurant in the area (based on walking distance from the hotels, except for Panda express that I know of). I also tried a brown sugar boba with pudding. I like the caramel burnt sugar taste but overall a bit too sweet. Pudding was nice but there wasn't a lot.

This past weekend my friend was feeling under the weather so I picked up some 101 Taiwanese Cuisine to go. I called in the order ahead of time and it was ready when I arrived. Staff were super helpful and attentive, and the pick up was quick and easy. All the food was absolutely delicious! We had Egg Drop Soup, Shrimp Curry Rice, Fish with Spicy Chili Sauce (my new personal favorite. OMG SO good!!!), and Honey-Glazed Walnut Shrimp. All super tasty. We'll definitely be back soon.

Now we know why every time we've tried to eat here the lines were out the door. The food is delicious, the service is incredibly fast, and the place is quaint and pleasant. I love their lunch combo meals. You get to pick exactly what you want as to the main course, appetizer, soup, and side dish. I had the chicken and vegetables, fried rice, crispy pork roll, and wonton soup. What really got all three of us was how quickly the meals came out, and most importantly, they were served hot. the flavors were all their, the portions were plentiful, and the price was great. Will absolutely be coming back when we're in the area, which is often as I have had to make quite a few visits to ROC across the street.

The place was packed during lunch hour and lucky we got there early enough to get a table just before it got busy. There is only one all gender bathroom so we have to wait. The staff was not organized during the service. The Beef Wrapped Pancake is pretty good. The Braised Pork Rice Bowl has more rice than the meat. The portions are even.

The wait here is insane, especially during hours where they shut off remote waitlisting & you have to physically come to the restaurant to put down your name. The restaurant itself is fairly small. The food was delicious & we all left satisfied. My recommendation is to come a bit early, before the dinner rush or after the dinner rush so you don't have to wait as long.

This place is very welcoming! We actually had plans to have Ramen next-door, but we did not look up the hours and it was closed so we decided to pop in next-door! So glad we did. We were sat less than a minute as well as we were served waters and any other drinks. We ordered and the food got to our table, literally in 10 minutes, which was amazing and we really like the Bento box with braze pork. It was really yummy. The rice plus the topping on the rice is so good as well as like the pickled vegetables and the relish, and we also shared a beef breeze stew w/ udon noodles, so yummy. And for the appetizer, we had the pork nuggets which don't look too appetizing I might say, but they're super yummy almost taste like a chicharon to me which i loved. The server was very fast and she was a very nice older lady as well as she had a younger girl helping her out that took very good care of us as well! The ambience is a very chill laid-back family restaurant vibe. It's very nicely decorated/furnished with Taiwanese culture. Definitely gonna have to come back!

We were downtown and looking for a place to grab some quick takeout. This place has been on my list, so we decided to stop by! I almost got the wonton soup but changed my mind after reading raving reviews about the braised beef noodle soup, plus one of the staff told us that is one of their best sellers. My husband got one of their chicken dishes that they are a known for, the spicy basil chicken, plus an order of chicken fried rice. We only had to wait about 15 mins from when we called to place the order. The food was ready on time and was served hot and fresh. We both thought all the food was incredible! The noodle soup was a big serving size and the braised beef bites were so tender. I loved the beef broth and how many noodles it came with, it was delicious and I even had leftovers afterwards. You'd think chicken fried rice is pretty standard but somehow their version of it here tastes way better than other places! My husband loved his chicken dish as well and mentioned several times that he couldn't believe how good it was. There are certainly places in town to get similar food in bigger quantities and lower prices, but I think this restaurant is a step up in quality and is worth paying a bit more for the better experience. We are excited to come back again in the future to try more things off their menu!

The space was clean and neat, and the service was very attentive. It was our first time here. We had been meaning to stop in for so many years, but never had the chance. One of the first things we had to try was the green onion fried pancake. It wasn't as thin and crispy as I'd prefer, it was more a little soggy and chewy. It was still good, just not my preference. For my entrée I chose the braised pork chop bowl. It comes with pickled veggies, white rice, and a hard boiled egg. I would have liked a soft boiled egg to mix in with the bowl, but I still enjoyed the entire thing and still thought the hard boiled egg provided some creaminess to the dish. I am excited to come back again and try many more items from the menu.

First time visiting this shop. We really liked it. The server recommended the beef noodle soup as their specialty, and man was it a hit with me. I left main land China at age of 12. The beef noodle soup...tasted nostalgic. It tasted like how it should be, straight from my childhood. We also had beef fried rice, pork with young bamboo and spiced chicken. All three dishes were great with the chicken being the weakest but still good. The restaurant has a very expansive menu, so no fear of running out of choices. Fast service and pleasant interior. Reasonable pricing. I recommend. Will visit again

I came here on a Saturday night and as you might expect it was pretty busy. For a party of 6 we waited around 30 minutes and the table we sat at was a table for 4 but just added two extra stool seats on the sides. The interior is a bit cramped as people had to squeeze by different aisles, but overall interior is nice. Beef Noodle Soup 3/5 - This was good but it was not anything special to me. For the price point it's not bad as you get a lot of food, but for it being the number one item according to yelp I had higher expectations. I would not get this again if I came back. Popcorn chicken 4/5 - This tasted great! It was not anything out of the ordinary for any popcorn chicken but it did hit the spot.

Went here with high expectations. There was a long line but the food was ordinary. The popcorn chicken was just fine. The basil chicken was not tasty at all. Noodles were not so great either. I would think twice before going here.

I will start with the good. The beef noodle soup was delicious. Pot roast tender chunks of beef with lots of noodles and heaps of fresh greens. Yum! The service and vibe of the restaurant was not great. We got there at 8:15. Restaurant closed at 9:00. We ordered quickly but they obviously did not want us there. I should have left and spent my money elsewhere. I've worked in restaurants my whole life and while I know it can be frustrating when it's the end of the day and you want to go home, you don't let the guest feel that. Anyway, I felt very uncomfortable during my meal and aside from the beef soup the food was just okay. I wish they just told me that they wanted to close early. I'd have been cool with that. I'd suggest if you are a weary traveler looking for sustenance after a long day of traveling. Do not go to this restaurant after 8pm.
