When I went with a friend, it was unsatisfactory. First, we ordered the Chicken Fried Rice and Beef Chow Mein. The waitress (old lady) double checked the order with us a few times. We waited what seem like a millenium but was really 30 minutes. When she came back, she came back with Chicken Chow Mein and Beef Fried Rice. We were outraged and asked to have it fixed. She suggested we stop complaining and eat it the way it is since we are capable of eating the food made. We knew she was angry but we were so appalled at her statement we left. We're paying customers and we did not need to hear that. Bad order meaning bad service. The atmosphere seemed too chinese. I mean there is a limit to it. It was somewhat uncomfortable and intimidating. I highly suggest you go to a different restaurant besides this "too authentic" chinese restaurant. less

The best chinese food for your money! I have eaten there several times and always pleased. The mo shu vegatables and veggie lo mein is wonderful! Very fresh and tasty. If you want something special, the cook will make exactly what you want and how you want it prepared. Quiet, clean and good service. I live in Olympia and drive 25 miles one way once a week to eat there. Worth the drive. Give the resturant a try. less
