The staff is always super friendly and the restaurant is always kept clean. Very good atmosphere. They finally added a few beers to the menu- I recommend trying the Sapporo. Their egg drop soup and wonton soup are amazing. I also tried the pepper steak and was very pleased with that as well. Overall a very pleasant restaurant to visit

Ordered the lunch takeout of general tso. It's spicier than golden pagoda in bellville. I don't really like the red sweet and sour sauce. (Edit 2025: the sauce is good now!) The generals is crispy! Not soggy like other places. The Kung pao is enough for 2 people. The eggrolls are fried in clean oil. The "eat in" sized wonton has a HUGE wonton and little broth. If you want more broth, get the larger size. The kimchi fries are REALLY good. Service is fast and front people are really nice.

1. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming! 2. The portions were large and served fresh. 3. This isn't the kind of restaurant where they have waiters, you order from the counter. Nevertheless, it did not take away from the experience. I would say it is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to in Texas. Please give this place a try if you are passing by. :)

This place is even greater than before. Wish they still did buffet but I will stay loyal to this place despite no buffet. So delicious, nice service, and the portion sizes are incredible. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Keep doing what you guys are doing yall rock.

Great selection, fresh and hot. I don't eat sushi but they have plenty. Your drink never goes empty. Service is spot on, background music is nice not to loud. Have been here often finally doing a review.

Food is well above average, the best in Brenham IMO. Portions are great, and food is fresh. No buffet, it's what actually got me there in the first place. The best won ton soup I have ever had. We spent 60 with tip. Chicken Fried Rice, BBQ pork, Orange Chicken, Won Ton soup, Ragoons, Egg Roll and two drinks. If I were to suggest a change, I would prefer the BBQ pork with the 5 spice, with caramelizing, red version, crispy. What I got tasted like teriyaki BBQ. Good in all.
