The food is amazing, a tall Asian man works as a server and he is the BEST server I have ever had, very polite and makes sure your glass stays full. The older lady who works here and may serve you provides horrible service, but is very nice, so heads up!

Besides the service, the food tastes really, really, good. Comes out fresh and steamy every single time, delivery, or eating in. The fried chicken like Tso, or Sweet and Sour is hit or miss, sometimes its fried enough and tastes great, while other times I've had it, its been mushy and you could taste the flour a little. Kinda gross.

Also, the sweet and sour chicken, is not REAL sweet and sour chicken. More like orange chicken. You get no sweet and sour red sauce.

The crab ragoon has a very amazing filling, but cheap wrap. They should be using the egg-roll style wrap. THE SPICEY MUSTARD IN THE SAUCE THEY PROVIDE IS HORRIBLE!!!! (Scoop out with spoon) HORRIBLE!!!!

This place has the best service I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant. I've found my new go-to in Boulder. The owner/waiter is from Hong Kong and is very knowledgeable about the dishes and portions. He saw I was dining alone and suggested I order a smaller portion of egg rolls. This saved me money, but the service was so impressive all around that I gladly offered the difference as part of the tip. The decor is very inviting, the place is spotless (even the bathroom), and the classical music playing was quite soothing after a tough day at work. The waiter even boxed up my leftovers for me with extra fortune cookies I didn't even ask for. All this and I haven't even mentioned the food, which was very high quality and tasty, with lots of veggies. I like that brown rice is an option too. You'd think a place that offers such good food and outstanding service would be expensive, but no, the prices are quite reasonable. I can't recommend this place enough. No wonder the place was busy on a Tuesday night and phone was ringing off the hook. I'll be...
