This place has been our favorite for the last few years. But something recently has gone left! The rice is much drier, the veggie rice doesn't have nearly as much veggies in it, shrimp egg foo young extra greasy, fried chicken wings burnt beyond measure. Have they changed cooks in the last few months? The prices are high and the quality has been lost. Last week I had cabbage that was literally sour inside my egg rolls. Terrible disappointment, as we've given 3 chances but the food is just not the same. We're done.
I was visiting Jacksonville and was looking up halal options on doordash, and found this place. Couldn’t decide which appetiser to order so ordered their pu-pu platter (yeah that’s literally the name 💀) which is basically a collection of all appetisers. To me, the appetisers were a little too oily which is probably what I should have already expected from deep fried food- but oily food ig feels way more oily when they are ordered online to be delivered 11 miles away lol. As for the appetisers, the teriyaki chicken is not what you’d expect, it feels more like a grilled chicken. The wings/fried chicken were okay and I have had better crab rangoons. The veggie rolls were average as well. I liked the general tso’s chicken btw, and it came with a side of fried rice which wasn’t bad either but nothing special. In general, this place is obviously not an authentic Chinese place imo, it’s more like a Chinese place catered to American people, as is a lot of the Chinese places here. However, if they open a branch at Orlando, I’d definitely visit cause I don’t think we have any halal asian food place around here.
I ordered a large beef and broccoli with extra vegetables. My total was 20.32. The food was bland. I feel the portions were small for the amount of $. Highly Likely this visit will be my first and last.
I will start with I did not take into consideration that teriyaki chicken would so drastically change from a Japanese restaurant to a Chinese restaurant (respectfully). So the food I received was correct on their part; however the cook in the back was very unhelpful in trying to make my meal appetizing. The chicken looked extra dried out (wasn’t as dry definitely lacked flavor so sauce was needed), I explained to the cashier what I was expecting after reading over the menu before ordering over the phone. She understood what I was wanting and made the proper suggestion in order to help me enjoy my meal. The chef had a mouthful to say about not wanting to make the sauce so he decided to upcharge me (completely fair, I understand). I declined to pay because I wasn’t going to risk spending more money to potentially not like the food still. I understand he wants to be compensated for his time; however, is that not why an hourly wage or salary is paid? Having over a decade of restaurant experience under my belt, there’s no way I could just charge a customer extra because I don’t feel like making sauce. If that was the owner, he definitely lost a customer for life and I will be oh to happy to spread the word about how he treats his patrons. The saving grace of the evening was the young lady in the front she was very pleasant and understanding.
I asked for the steamed dumplings and she said The only had fried chicken dumplings, I'm thinking like pot stickers but not I got something fried covered in grease flavorless barely anything in it and no sauce. I also ordered the crab rangoons which are the worst I have ever had! It's cheese doesn't even seem like cream cheese and no crabmeat. Also flavorless . Very poor food quality
This is great place for halal Chinese food in Jacksonville. Food was good. We enjoyed it. But their wings were little too crispy though for my taste. Beside that I have no complaint. I really liked their beef broccoli and house fried rice. Customers service is very good. If you have big party you should call ahead because inside is small. They don’t have much space for dine in.
This place is a flavour house. One of the best chinease food around. Wings are the best ever for sure. Best when eaten fresh. Their food is very flavourful. Give this place a try for sure if you're in Jacksonville. It ain't fancy it's your chinease take out with bomb flavour. Did I mention it is zabiha halal as well. Amazing experience.
Nice Chinese food and I think it is the only Halal one in town. We enjoyed the food, place and service. I’m not much into this type of food but my wife like it. I don’t think I will go back again but it’s worth to the try.
