"Imagine panda but 10x better. The sauce is thick and flavorful, chicken is juicy yet also a little crunchy. Even tho it took about 20 minutes to get to my house the food was still so hot I had to let it cool down until I could eat it. Have never had better Chinese food yet alone from doordash. 10/10!! "
"I cant really expect much for a 10:30pm DoorDash but I WAS expecting more than 7.3 grams of chicken for a ~$20 meal. It wasn't a bad tasting meal by any means, but dawg, did the rest of the chicken jump out the box and run off or something? So tough. "

"Their honey walnut shrimp is marvelous! I'll never order shrimp any other way again. The shrimp tasted fresh and it "popped" sweetness when I bit it. The coating was tremendous - and even the tails were edible. The walnuts were lightly sugar coated and worked so well with the shrimp. The portion was large, about 20 shrimp. I loved the wontons too. The wraps were crunchy and brown. Perfect, and the filling was tasty. Unless you have to have sweet & sour sauce don't bother with it. The wontons are too good on their own."
"The food was cold and disgusting I paid $40 and received kid sized portions. The egg rolls were burned and dried up. The fried rice was cold. And the extra steak I paid for was all broccoli. The driver was awesome but Panda Express was horrible and I will never order from them again. "

"Wont be back. Fried chicken wings（6）Chicken was just fried . There was no flavor. Beef with Broccoli tasted also flavorless and broccoli tasted like it was added to beef after it was cooked. It's cheep very thin beef. And the Crab Meat Rangoon also had no flavor and wontons were rubbery. "

"This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. Always delicious and they go out of their way to make anything you want."
"Have always liked this restaurant ever since it opened but the sweet & sour shrimp had almost no shrimp and the breading was very greasy and way too much, a ridiculous amount. The sweet and sour "sauce" was orange sugar water and runny - could have used some cornstarch. Where was the tangy sour? The crab meat wontons were excellent and just a good amount of filling. Not greasy at all. I'll stick with all the mein fun and the shrimp and scallops."

"This dish can be good, but sometimes it's hit or miss. I like the smokey, spicy oil it comes in, but the last time I had this dish, I wasn't super impressed by the way the meat tasted. The first time I ever had it, I thought it was good. I guess it just depends. Good source of collagen protein, though. 😀"

"Fruits of the Sea at their Best! Fresh and sweet, the Sashimi Appetizer has everything a sashimi lover needs... in layman's terms, we have Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, and for dessert, White Tuna! They offer a dollop of wasabi and some pickled ginger on the side. It is nicely done."
"What an absolute delight for a Monday evening when making dinner seems like too much! This healthy, delicious meal comes with a selection of 16 fresh, succulent pieces of fish. Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, and White Tuna, which just happen to be my favorites! Served on a bed of fresh shredded radish, with pickled ginger and that perfect heat of wasabi, it is the best combination.
But... to make this meal perfection? Double Dash it with a HyVee order of Sake and mandarin oranges! You have the Japanese dining experience in your own home.
(Plus I earned a $10 off coupon from Formosa. See restaurant info for details)"
