  i used to work here when I was a teen and when it was still located in Helena, downtown.  I really miss that location and the more permissive hours (I always end up showing up here when it is closed). But, aside from that - it's still as great as ever!
  
  When I worked there we would get a free meal per shift, and I got kind of addicted. It is still my favorite....sweet and sour chicken with fried rice, and all of it SMOTHERED in sweet and sour sauce!
  
  The owner is great, and the food is great. LOVE IT!  :)

  It was a last minute decision to swing in here. The service was friendly, and the food was great! When another reviewer said 'authentic' they meant made fresh, with REAL ingredients, not processed, thawed, or mass produced ingredients. The #2 Meal, Almond Chicken, and won tons were all recommended, ordered, and enjoyed by all our party, which included two children.
  The *only* problem we had was that OUR waitress was particularly slow. Despite that, everything else was great, and we WILL be going back for another shot at it.

  More authentic than Jade Gardens.
  
  I recommend the pork foo young and the almond chicken.  The bbq pork and egg rolls are also very good for apps.

  We had high hopes for this place, being fans of dive-y Chinese places in strange locations.
  
  I had high hopes for my noodles when they came out, thinking I'd won the "unknown restaurant menu selection jackpot": a giant bowl of fresh noodles swimming in broth with piles of boiled egg, BBQ pork, and veggies arrayed around it.
  
  The house-made BBQ pork was quite good, but the broth was not (commercial stock) and the noodles were cooked to death (to the point that they couldn't be eaten with chopsticks). The spring/egg rolls were sad, greasy, limp, underfilled little things. I almost felt bad for them.
  
  We were underwhelmed, but given the sad state of Chinese food in Helena, we'll probably give it another try.
