I've been going here for as long as I remember. My favorite Chinese food in town. The service is always impeccable and friendly. I don't see myself stop coming here either

If you're driving through town, looks can be deceiving. It portrays the looks of better years gone by . But don't be deceived. This sad little restaurant still has amazing authentic taisting Chinese food. Its flavor is fresh, and it is a buffet full of varieties. For such a tiny place, they are not sparing cash in the kitchen. But unfortunately, these special little hidden jem , these family run jewels. Can survive without support. And to keep quality in food, often expenses and taxes show in the ability to maintain picture quality dining. My recommendation is, let's help this jewels continue by giving their food the static and patronage it deserves and requires. To continue for generations to come

I can never find another Chinese restaurant that hits like they do, I will agree this is my favourite Chinese restaurant of all times. We came to this place for years, and the staff are very nice, and are very good with service. If you’re going to check out this place, i recommend trying the dumplings, I have never been able to find dumplings that were as good as silver stars after I moved out of stpaul and would drive hours to eat those again.

May look like your stereotypical chinese food restaurant, but amazing food and amazing people. Grew up here and always find a time to come down every now and then.

Beautiful family who runs this! I love having local businesses like this with good people. My family’s been going to the buffet for at least a decade at this point, it’s my grandfather’s favourite to go out to and he prefers it over a&w even! For the price it’s at, and the authentic cuisine you get just all worth it

I had the curried chicken hot plate, it comes out sizzling. So tasty I come here often for the buffet. The freindly staff is always willing to accomidate if your fave pick is low they will get more for you and let you know when it's ready. It definitely a family favorite due to the staff.

The taste is great, especially the Cantonese wontons, which have thin skin and large fillings. Very authentic Chinese food! The boss speaks very good English and the service is thoughtful and meticulous.
