Reviews
We tried this restaurant on our way back from Virginia Tech and didn't regret it. I had the most delicious General Tso Shrimp I've ever had. I'll definitely go back to this restaurant on my next trip to VT.
This place has been recommended numerous times and I'm so happy I stopped in. The food was so fresh and the staff were very nice. Definitely the best Chinese in Lexington.
Nice restaurant, nice people ... I recommend it. The food was super, with the exception of the Pad Thai that was way below average for a dish we usually love. Everything else we tried was great!
Incredible food. Only passing through town so I am disappointed I could only try two dishes. High quality meat, too which is not always the case in Chinese restaurants. Also decent portions and they don't skimp on things like pineapples. I would absolutely return if I ever find myself in Lexington again.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE RESTAURANT. I have spent too much money here. The food is AMAZING (very high quality). Service is fast/they are kind. The ambience is decent (nothing too crazy, but good). The price is also very reasonable. I highly recommend it to anyone that visits Lexington.
