    These guys worked their a$$es off on Christmas. Line was out the door but everyone was friendly with each other, and the staff were remarkably calm in the middle of chaos. And my twice cooked pork was extra spicy as requested.

    This is the only Chinese restaurant in the area that I frequent and I've been stopping in now for the past 7yrs. It's conveniently located but the parking lot can be easy to miss so be sure to pay attention. I've always picked up my order and so I can only speak to that experience. Service is fast, amiable and the food is good. A few favorites of mine are, the Dragon & Phoenix, the Steamed Dumplings, Egg Rolls, Fried Rice, Mixed Vegetables, also the Dinner Combo Plate Shrimp or Chicken with Eggplant. I recently tried the Wonton soup and it was just okay, it could use some improvement. While I've waited in line to pick up my order I have noticed that the interior of the establishment isn't very large so I would not advise larger groups or parties to dine in here. From what I can tell the sanitation rating is pretty high and the workers always seem to be practicing appropriate safe & healthy food practices. Since the college is right across the street, they're open late and they're easy to pick up from on the way home when you want an easy dinner.

    Beam Sprout has long been a favorite of my wife and mine. Good, hot food. Generous portions (we split one for lunch), and a quaint spot to sit and eat.

    Seasame tofu hit the spot. Fried rice only comes with eggs. Fast service. Good portion sizes. Will try salt and pepper tofu and vegetable fried rice next time.

    First time getting food here. The food is very good and very affordable! We got lemon chicken with fried rice and chicken in garlic sauce with friend rice; both are dinner combo plates. Will definitely be coming back here again!

    Highly recommend if you are craving some quick, delicious Chinese food! Very cute, quaint atmosphere inside. Excellent food for a reasonable price. Very friendly and helpful customer service. Ordered eggs rolls, sweet and sour chicken with white rice, and house special fried rice with shrimp, chicken, and beef.

    It was a nice place to stop by if you're going on long trips. The food was delicious and the service was sweet, they were very kind and welcoming. It was absolutely filling and comforting. I’d come back here if we hang around Raleigh again.
