I REALLY was impressed with the food. I got so full I had to put the rest of my food away for later. The price was reasonable and I loved the atmosphere. Will definitely eat here again

A few quick notes: You can get 2 Crab Rangoon instead of an egg roll in your meal when getting takeout. They're always polite and quick to fill your order. They serve beer and wine! And there were twenty shrimp in my Shrimp with Lobster Sauce! (Yes, I was so surprised that I counted them and attached a picture.)
