I like this little place. Definitely the best crab rangoons Ive had in a very long time. Also those chicken wings were SO good. Will Definitely be back!!!!
Amanda was an amazing server when we came in on Valentine’s Day! She made great suggestions, and made the atmosphere bright. The food was scrumptious as well and decently quick for a holiday night. Thank you Amanda, It was lovely to be seated in your section!
I've been a regular at this restaurant for more than a decade now, and I still love the place. The food and atmosphere never disappoint. It's a fantastic spot for both vegetarians and vegans, with plenty of options that can be easily made vegan-friendly.

Today for lunch I had the Beef Pad King lunch special. Between 11a-2p the lunch specials are only 10.25. 12.57 with tax. It comes with the entrée of your choice, an egg roll, soup of the day (you can substitute soup for an extra eggroll) and a drink.. Great food and service. High recommend.
This place is easily in my top three restaurants in Carbondale… and honestly, it might be fighting for the #1 spot! Let’s start with the wings, because they deserve their own fan club. I don’t know what kind of magic is happening in that kitchen, but these are hands-down the best wings I’ve ever had. Crispy, saucy, perfectly cooked— the …
