From the reviews, we were expecting something better. We were seated so uncomfortably close to the couple next to us that we couldn't have a private conversation. Service was friendly, but sooooo slow! We ordered kung po chicken and chaw shu pork dish. Both were swimming in gravy and the gravy was the same for both dishes. The only difference looked to be that the meats were added last into the gravy and the peanuts into the chicken dish. The gravy was entirely too salty. The fried rice needs help. Directly across from our table in the front of the restaurant were multiple large containers of used dirty dishes covered with garbage which all of the waitresses emptied their tables into. How unappetizing! On a good note, the wonton soup was rich and flavorful and the eggrolls were delicious. If this is all I want, I will come back here. But, if I want a dinner, I will go to Asian Buffet on West Broad.
Pros: eggrolls
Cons: everything else

Consistently one of the best Chinese restaurants in Columbus since 1956. They recently moved from the location on West Broad where they'd been since 1964. The new location will have better restroom access (a big problem at the Broad St. location where the women's restroom required a trip downstairs) and a more updated feel, but it is next door to a Chinese buffet and shares a parking lot with a Kohls store that is slated to close. The food is always excellent. The egg rolls are a big favorite and the sweet and sour sauce is unlike any I've had anywhere in the world and it is a closely guarded Yee family secret. You can order dinners or family style (my recommendation since you'll want to try everything). The portions are generous and there's almost always enough to take home and enjoy for lunch the next day. Easy to get to from 270 (West on Broad and left on Phillipi and there you are). Remember the name or you could end up at their competitor's buffet next door where you'll get a lesson in the difference between quantity and quality. Enjoy!
Pros: Great egg rolls, sauce, fresh bread, good service, delicious freshly prepared food
Cons: new location is too close to competition and hard to discover from W. Broad St.
