Well for some bizarre reason asian restraints throughout mass like this one promise me THAI SPICY when inorder but always give me dry unflavored noodles. Is New England really getting this poor and cheap that hot pepper spice.is that unreasonable of a request?????

This WAS a good place with great food. However, today, it has dropped an awful lot. Food quality went way down. They don't care what you say and their attitude shows it. It's sad really. Now I have to drive further to get much better food. Prices are going up but the quality should not. This place raises their price and lowers the quality and quantity of portions. IF you want chicken wings, Bring money and order double the amount. It's the only thing they can't screw up.
I drive to Townsend or Tyngsboro for quality food and decent portions. Sure wish they would sell

This is a neighborhood place with good Chinese and Thai food, as well as decent reasonably priced mixed drinks. The restaurant is very clean and the servers are pleasant and attentive.

Solid oriental food as well as a full bar. Comfortable environment with lighting that sets the mood if you're with a 'special' friend. Scorpion bowls are strong and the food itself is quite tasty and relatively cheap for oriental fast food. Seating is large enough for entire groups or just the family. Workers do have a thick accent making you say, what?! So besides that its a solid local place that I'd recommend

Decent Chinese take out. Food is all pretty good, not terrific but good overall. Nothing fancy but if you want some good Chinese take out, you can do a lot worse.

The food isn’t horrible here but every time I’ve gotten chicken from here it’s gray inside. I am so done getting food here. You can smell the oil they cook with from outside and it’s kinda gross.

Absolutely terrible. Never get orders right. Give attitude if you say something. Fried rice dry and no flavor! Ordered combo meal of pork egg foo young and lo mein and just got a container with lo mein only!!! Don't even want to call. Last time they got my order wrong they started yelling at me so I walked out without my takeout food! Not sure BBC why I tried them again. Stay away!

All cornstarch, no flavor, no refills.. I had red curry with scallop.. nice fresh veggies..scallops were sliced. sea scallops were sliced in 1/2 if not 1/3's .. crab Rangoon.. nice because they served 10 - but I think the oil they fried them in was rancid.. beef and broccoli very tender, again all cornstarch without flavor.. Hot tea came in a glass, not a teapot and was not refilled..

If your driving by on your way home & not wanting to cook.. it'll do in a pinch. Mediocre at best.. just your average hole in the wall. I almost feel bad saying that but.. they can't seem to understand anything I say so I doubt they'll read it. Feng shui in tyngsboro is a much better alternative.. just putting it out there. Your welcome

Wow! Pleasantly surprised with this place, especially after reading some bad reviews.
However, we were short on time and this place was close.
The shrimp foo young was really good. Unfortunately, there were some shrimp which hadn’t been deveined. I should’ve asked... I know some places don’t devein the shrimp.
Next time I will order egg foo young instead😑.
Steamed shrimp & veggies: delicious!
Teriyaki beef & spareribs with a side of chicken wing: yum!
Chicken with broccoli & chicken fingers on the side: tasty!
Humongous portions. Too many leftovers so next time we may share dishes

This is the best place to get Chinese food in the area. I've noticed that most of the main courses taste like they are just frozen and heated up like the general tsoa. The main courses taste like something you'd get from the food court in the mall for only a few dollars but at the tea cafe they charge 15$ for it. The appetizers taste like they are cooked fresh so I usually just order a bunch of appetizers.

Had the chicken tropical made extra spicy. Also pan fried peking raviolis and crab rangoon were good. My girlfriend got chicken lo mein and said it was good. Aside from appearance, not sure why they are only 3 stars.

I'm not sure why I'm reviewing this place because as my boyfriend stated after our terrible experience there last night . . . "They don't care about reviews".
We arrived around 730pm and there were 3 tables seated. I felt it was pretty empty for a Friday night considering they're really the only show in town with "sit down" chinese available. We'd been here once before when we moved into the area a few months ago and found it to be mediocre but, thought we'd give it another try.
A pleasant waitress came and dropped menus by. A few minutes,

I went here tonight at 9:25. The told me they closed at 9:30 and couldn't serve me. According to this app I'm told it closes at 10. I don't understand why I wasn't served. I have been coming here for years and always have been. I am so disappointed and hope the restaurant I know and love will come to their senses. ‍

We have been to this place many times for take out and the food is consistently good.
This time we ate in and the food was as good as ever, but the service was sub-par. The place is clean and inviting. The service was not awful, but no check-in after the food delivery. No interaction. Of course that is because they only have one waitress for the whole restaurant and it was busy enough to keep her moving the whole time.

Ordered a large house fried rice and boneless spare ribs . The rice looked like it was under a heat lamp all day. The boneless ribs tasted like Jerky.

If it wasn't the weekend I'd bring it back !

So I have mixed feelings... Just moved near by to this place and gave it a try. First off the menu online says dinner combo comes with two apps but when calling in they denied it on one meal. We looked past that as perhaps a communication error. Got take out - Thai noodles which was good and lo mein. However the lo mein I got had no noddles ... Like not a single one...it was bean sports and celery ...terrible couldn't eat it has to toss the entire meal.

Crab rangoons were great.

I moved to Pepperell this weekend. Yes in the snow rain etc. After unpacking and unloading some went back to Boston to pick up another load and I went to work unpacking the house. I decided to venture out for food and this was close by. There was actually quite a line. I went across the street to Rite Aid and the girl said she had never been there. SO I crossed my fingers and ordered for the whole family.

The wait for pick up was 25mins and it was ready in like 10mins. I was starving so I was definitely happy with that. We ordered garlic broccolli, vegetable chow mein, vegetable fried rice, sweet
