Reviews
The most yummiest Chinese food in Idaho! It's busy for a reason! Definitely recommend đź‘Ś
One of the best sweet & sour chickens I've had in forever! They used real pineapple 🍍
Everybody was so nice! Our go to is the Generals Chicken (white meat). At lunch they serve the best cold noodles and salad ever!
Very good Chinese food. Tasteful and authentic. Good area, clean and spacious restaurant. Friendly staff. No outdoor seating.
The food was most excellent! Everyone enjoyed every item ordered. The service was also expectional. We will definitely return to try more dishes and have some dim sum.
Update. 6/26 was our fourth time or more back. This is our local go to spot for amazing food. We bring family from out of town here. We all love it so much.
Only Dim Sum in town, and it's pretty good! We've been wanting to come here specifically for Dim Sum, and they delivered. We had: Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, Siu Mai, Sticky rice in Lotus Leaf, turnip cakes, braised tripe, and sesame seed balls.
Everything was tasty. The sesame seed balls were slightly overdone, but my favorite was the Siu Mai.
We will be returning. Thanks for having Dim Sum in Boise :)
Very clean, staff is attentive but stretched. Just be patient! Food is awesome very traditional and tasty. Drunks offer generous pours, and they keep them coming. Happy hour offers top shelf!
Had to edit our review we visited again. Everything was horrible

Won’t ever be back here. Left half way thru our meal. Quality is not a thing here anymore.
Where do I even begin, this place is the best Chinese food in Idaho, everything is so delicious and fresh. They have a nice small salad area with a small soup during lunch hours, as well as affordable prices. They have delicious appetizers and entrees. My favorites are Mongolian beef, super tender beef strips with a ton of flavor, as well as their beef Thai rice, so delicious. I love their chicken options as well. Service is always so friendly and so helpful, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
Restaurant decor looks old and tired. The wait staff were cordial and polite, but nothing special. As for the food, some of the worst, gelatinous goo I've ever been served. The pork and black mushrooms was awful. The mushrooms were slimy and tough plus the pork was fatty. The garlic chicken was also swimming in the same sort of gelatinous goo as the pork with jar chopped garlic (not freshly chopped) and was hard to differentiate between the two on taste. Both bland and flavorless. The egg drop soup that came with the meal was so slimy I gave up on it after two spoons of it. All in all, a disastrous lunch. It boggles my mind that it's rated 4.3. People in Boise need to go to Chinatown in Seattle or anywhere in the Pacific Northwest to find out what Chinese food should taste like.
