My Review 

This restuarant is located at 83rd Ave and Deer Valley Road in the Fry's Supermarket complex. My family and I were going to Ray's pizza for dinner and when we got there, we realized there is a new chinese restaurant next to Ray's. Well, my wife decided to have chinese food all of a sudden, and in we went. Boy, was that a good decision. The servers were polite and attentive. There was no pressure from the servers asking us if we were ready to order, like some other restaurant. The restaurant has televisions on with games on, which is a plus, as you don't see any chinese restaurant with that. The lights in the restaurant were just right. It is spacious and relaxing. My wife ordered the kung pao chicken, I ordered sweet and sour pork, and my kid ordered the beef fried rice. The food was delicious. I thought there is no decent chinese restaurant where I live, but now we do. The price was reasonable and the portion was decent. I am always picky about my food, but our server listened attentively and got my order right. The only thing the restaurant is lacking is alcohol, in which I was told they were waiting for the alcohol permit. I would strongly recommend this restaurant. I would go back again, especially when they start serving beer and my friends and I will be there for football games.
