I had carry-out from here and tried a variety of things. Overall I found it to be very average. Mostly the food lacked flavor and was disappointing. The only food I really enjoyed was the fried dumplings. I had high hopes based on other reviews, but this is definitely not the best Chinese food in Ames. I don‘t think I would eat here again.

This place is the best! True it has short hours, but they need that time to prepare the food since it is made fresh daily. I had the opportunity to check out the kitchen while they were open and it was awesome. They chop the veggies on a daily basis, make eggrolls daily along with the crab rangoons, wontons and just about everything! Not sure how they find the time to do all this! The kitchen is clean and the cook is very friendly. It takes longer to cook the food because he is the only cook and wants it to be as close to perfect as possible. If you have a problem, ask to talk with the owners. Or leave your name and number, they do call back!

They are the best food in Ames for Chinese! They have moved from this location to a strip mall on Lincoln Way a few blocks East of Duff Ave. Very easy to find. Only problem are they short hours. They are only open for a few hours during lunch and dinner.

I live in Boone and this is the best Chineses restaurant I‘ve found in 2 cities. The food, service and prices cannot be beat!
