The service was nice, and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere had low lighting which I wish was brighter. On the whole, the food was good for a fast food Chinese style restaurant. I enjoyed their eggplant in spicy sauce, their spicy dry green beans, their egg friend rice, and their vegetable tempura. The tempura came with an apple sauce for dipping which was unique yet delicious. The fact that this place is open late is really nice. I recommend if someone wants an affordable meal that will fill you and make you feel warm on a cold day.

There were patrons in the restaurant who seemed to enjoy their experience so I don’t want to be too negative. I will just say that there are more flavorful, higher quality, and/or cheaper food within a mile radius to enjoy

This place has great tasting food and it is traditional American Chinese food! They make the food cooked to order and the food has plenty of flavor. The staff was fantastic from the minute we walked in and the portion sizes are huge. Highly recommended if you looking for Chinese in Boston!

the bartender was extremely rude — yelled at us and then kept glaring at us throughout the night for just touching a chair so our friend could sit. later in the night we saw other people moving chairs with no issue from the bartender. otherwise the karaoke is fun enough but definitely be prepared to wait a while.

The place was just ok. Many drinks/ cocktails weren’t available, so we had to change our choice many times. The scorpion bowl was special and it was a fun experience to share the drink. It was a karaoke night and it wasn’t that successful, it would be better to have a DJ playing music

2 and 1/2 stars. Since there is no half in the ratings, so it got 3. Average American-Chinese restaurant, served up some familiar dishes that people in America is familiar with. It generally has no style of any region in China. This hodge podge approach would satisfy the mass, but bothers the heck out of the "foodie" whom would look for some style of cooking to pin on. We stay away from its big fat egg rolls, and its greasy fried rice. Instead, we asked for basil chicken, garlic pepper shrimps, and stir fried bok choy. We ate them over steamed rice. The bok choy was the best. Hot wok did wonder for the vegetable. Basil chicken and garlic pepper shrimps are passable. A tad salty, but did not taste so bad after all. Service was good. Food came out promptly. We did not have to ask for anything.

The Service. This place respects you and your time. The dishes come out well and timely. The menu is decent and has a good variety of food. The actual restaurant had a good mood to it and is spacious. Drinks are also served here.
