Reviews
Good for what it is, doesn't compare to Chinese food from New York, Philly or even some places in Boston but for this area I think it's a good option unless you want to drive to Bucksport. Food portions are large, ingredients seem to always be pretty fresh and flavor is decent. Not my number one favorite spot locally but on the nights I don't want to drive out of town it's a solid contender. Service is also always pleasant and observant even when busy. Ambiance is so so, but what do you expect unless you're looking for some weird modern art deco nonsense.
It gives off family business vibes. Parking is good. Area is kinda sketchy at night. The food portions are incredibly generous. I would not get the fried rice again, but it's acceptable. The drinks are pretty mediocre, but it has incredible amounts of alcohol so be careful. The service was impeccable. I would come back again for the drinks and beef teriyaki. The chicken toast is a must have. It's an experience.
This is an amazing restaurant, and has been a long time established restaurant in the Ellsworth community. The food is delicious and probably one of the highest quality Chinese food restaurants I've ever been in. The decor is amazingly beautiful and has a water fall feature in the lobby, as well as some amazing Asian art work all throughout. There is a nice sports bar for those that enjoy watching sports while dining, and the bartenders are friendly and always on point. There are also two function rooms, one seats about 20 - 25 comfortably (I call this the Cherry Blossom Room) referring to the beautiful artwork on the wall. The other seats about 60, and the two rooms can be opened up to make one huge venue. They even have a dance floor they can put down for special occasions. The place is well kept, and has plenty of parking as well. I would strongly recommend this place as the staff is outgoing and kind, and very accommodating. As well as good quality food and drinks. If your in the mood for Chinese food, this is the place to be! They even have some American options too! Like cheeseburgers and fries! So good, I couldn't believe it!
I am shocked by the 2 star rating of this restaurant. I agree with the reviewer who noted that possibly people are just ordering the wrong things. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and hands down they have the best teriyaki chicken / beef, as well as pork fried rice around! General Tso's, sweet & sour chicken, & wonton soup are all great as well! I've only had better Chinese in Portland, and that was dim sum which is an entirely different vibe from here. D14 & D28 combo specials are the bees knees. Whenever I'm in town visiting family, I place an order for two meals - 1 to have right now, and 1 to take home for later. The location is great, ample parking and I've never had to wait for a table as the restaurant is on the larger side - but it is ALWAYS busy. The restaurant's longevity as well as how busy they are every day should prove what a quality restaurant this is.
The food was amazing! Big list of choices to choose from. Service good! Bathrooms clean!
