“ Best egg drop and wonton soup I’ve had and the food is really tasty! The shrimp fried rice was authentic and reminded me of the old school Chinese rice I grew up on! Chicken is seasoned well thick and juicy. The only Chinese restaurant that I want to go to now ”
“ I love coming here! The service is outstanding, portions are huge, flavors great, prices are reasonable - what's not to love?? I had the pu pu tray and the teriyaki chicken was not dome stringy piece of meat like other places serve but nice portions of juicy, tender well-seasoned chicken. Bonus: sear them across this cute little table grill! Drinks were good too Zombie was well done and flaming volcano Spicy scallops was excellent (7 big scallops) sauce had heat but quite good. ”
“ I have been going to this restaurant since I was a child (1980’s). This restaurant was a staple in my family and the first place I experienced Chinese cuisine. This restaurant is one of the most beloved restaurants for me, an absolutely foodie core memory!!! Will be in the area soon and will most definitely be stopping in!!! ”
“ We been to this place over a hundred times since moving down from New Jersey. I'm a huge fan of chicken and garlic sauce, which is not on the menu, but when asked if they could make it they replied yes. When our food arrived it was like being back in Jersey, not only did it bring back memories but my gosh sooo good. Our waitress Jeanie was pleasant, and has a sense of humor, we always ask for her when we visit. To rate this exceptional restaurant is easy, 5 stars plus. Food is hot and delicious, service is above and beyond, and prices are reasonable. Please if your reading this review give this restaurant a try, you will not be disappointed, and by the way ask for Jeanie, again 5 stars plus. ”
“ This is the best Chinese restaurant in this area! The pecking duck was the best I've had in a long time. It's very hard to find something like this in the area. The salt and pepper tofu was good too! Service was exceptional. Judy was the nicest lady ever. I will be back soon for sure. ”
“ Ordered Hunan Shrimp & House Special Lo Mein. Nice Staff. Friendly & Accomodating! Did a google search for best Chinese Food near me (Hampton) and Port Arthur was consistently in the Top 3. Did not disappoint. prices are good and match the portions/food quality/flavor! Got takeout but inside looked great. Recommend both of these dishes. definitely worth the trip to NN. ”
