    This is an old favorite of mine. Been eating there for 20 years. The dishes are always top notch. As I don’t work in the area any longer, it’s been a long time since I’ve been there. We used to get their buffet at lunch time which I remember being quite good. This go around we got the combination fried rice, which is arguably their best dish, and the Pad Thai with egg. Both were flavorful and came out quick. We also got shrimp dumplings as an appetizer. Those were a little bland, but only really in comparison to the main dishes. All things considered, definitely try this place if you want good Asian food in the Peoria area.

    Amazing food and service. Easy to locate slightly off of the main highway. Lunch buffet has so many choices, each with different and distinct flavors. They have wonderful vegetarian options as well as with different meat dishes. So worth the trip!!

Highly recommend for an amazing meal and great hospitality!

    I came in for lunch with a coworker. He got the buffet, and I got the spicy lemongrass chicken with rice. The buffet did not have many gluten-free options, which I expected as much. The chicken I got was extremely flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. It was too much to finish for lunch, so I took the leftovers home and finished it for dinner! The Thai Tea was also copiously sized for the price. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes here!

    Everything was outstanding.The food, the service, and the atmosphere. Whole sautéed bok choi stems and a chicken and a curry sauce that was comfort food. I might have even seen crab in the crab rangoon. that's a first!! Everything I tried was delicious. While, the buffet was somewhat small, Everything was of premium quality and taste. My new favorite restaurant, I kid you not.

    I travel to Peoria 2-3 times a month. Every single time I come here and every single time I get the seafood noodle soup. It is the best seafood noodle soup I’ve ever had and it’s a huge portion. Really fast service as well. Highly recommend
