Great experience! The owner who is also the chef and host was very welcoming and pleasant. That, along with the cosy interior, led to a very nice atmosphere. The food (I had the Golden Dragon lo mein and egg drop soup) was absolutely delicious and came out relatively quickly and piping hot! Very good experience and would highly recommend.

I was reading reviews as I waited for my food and saw a handful of very nasty remarks and experiences (most from about 5 years ago). As far as recent reviews everything seemed fairly positive so I wasn't too worried. The restaurant itself was very quaint and quiet. The whole time I was seated there were only two tables at any time (myself included). It seemed very clean and comfortable. Not too bright or dark for lighting. I started with an egg roll appetizer which came with 3 egg rolls cut in half. They looked different than I've ever seen before. Almost looked like a sausage link stuffed in there like a pig in a blanket, but tasted just like any other egg roll. I was not disappointed. The waitress was a young gal who was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed without feeling overbearing or "fake" like she was saving face because she's at work. She seemed genuine and gave the place a welcoming atmosphere. After my egg rolls I indulged in a bowl of egg flower soup which only comes in one size (a big bowl) because each batch is made fresh per order. I absolutely loved this and decided it was worth roughly $8 to take home and enjoy later. I kid you not when I say it was the BEST egg flower soup I have ever had. Everywhere I have ever gone in the past had decent egg flower soup, but I always felt the need to add soy sauce. Not here. It was served steaming fresh and flavorful. Very glad I decided to order a bowl. By the time I had decided I love the soup my main dish had come out. I had a "make your own combo" with pork lo mein, bbq pork, and pork fried rice. The plate was just under $14. It felt very reasonable for the portions. The lo mein was so savory I fell in love immediately. The bbq pork felt familiar and I enjoyed it, but not as much as the lo mein. The only thing that felt lacking by the time I was finished was my pork fried rice, but it is rice. Rice is rice. I can't say I ever expect much from rice as it is plain by nature. The bbq pork garnish definitely helped. I guess the reason I wasn't impressed with the rice is because the rice itself just felt a little too mushy. I suppose I expected something different and so I set myself up for that one. Stupid expectations Overall I am very pleased with the service, prices, and product. My meal was very satisfying and filling. My experience was welcoming and my server was kind. My bill was as expected (I practically ordered enough food for two people). I would definitely return if I were to find myself on this side of the state again. Thank you for the experience!
