    We ordered take out from here and were pleased with the food. It is reasonably priced and the portions were huge. We ordered Pad Thai and a Currry chicken dish, Between my wife and myself we had a lot left over. Enough for my lunch the next day.  It was not the best Thai food I have ever had, but was tasty and not oily. Overall we liked the food and giant portions and will order from here again.

    This place is okay. Service is prompt, the owner is very friendly and most importantly, knows her menu really well. My friend had the wonton soup, which at under $6, is a steal.

    I really wish the tofu curry didn't have canned bamboo shoots in it, though. It gave the curry the flavor of pepperoni, wrapped in a used jock strap, soaked in broth. Next time, I'll know to ask for it without.

    Extremely disappointed with this place, went in at 12:45 for buffet (they close at 130) and there was NOTHING left... how can you run a buffet place with nothing to offer? Left and went directly beside it to Karma, where they are open an extra half hour and everything was full.

    Living in the deep SE.. you have very limited options when it comes to Chinese take out.

    This definitely isn't the most authentic place - but that doesn't matter to me. The food is great! I love that it's a Chinese and Thai place - you can get a little taste of both.

    They prepare the food quickly, and it's always piping hot when I open it up at home. My fave dishes are: Ginger chicken, cashew chicken, curry chicken (smells SOOO good!), veggie chow mein.. and yes PAD THAI. The fact that I can get both pad thai and chow mein excites me sooo much!

    I've eaten in a few times - the service is all right, but I prefer takeout better (especially since there's a 10% discount)

    Not only that but they have a site with their menu which is very useful.

    It's a great value for your $! I'll definitely be ordering takeout again.

    I've eaten dinner here twice, had the buffet twice, but mainly ordered takeaway. I prefer ordering takeaway the most. I usually order the dinner for two Thai style. I have two small kids, and find that there is enough food for all of us if you aren't huge eaters. It usually consists of fried rice, a coconut curry dish, mixed vegetables, two spring rollls. Oh yeah and some pork dish. Overall the food is okay. If you want better Chinese food, order from Bonavista Peking House. They have a minimum order amount if your not within a certain radius of their restaurant.

    Run by the same people that operate some Chinatown restaurants, they know how to turn out a good dish.  You're going to pay a premium for the convenience of having it close to home though, these are definitely way above Chinatown prices.

    I love this place!  I recommend the Salt & Pepper Seafood, preceded by either Hot & Sour or Corn & Chicken soup.

    We usually order take-out from here and are consistently satisfied with the dishes.  The broccoli is always green, no yellow on it, which is a real plus.  No brown on the celery either.  Love the mushroom Egg Foo Yung.
