We were visiting Daytona Beach and ended up eating here three days in a row—that alone says how much we loved this place! The food was outstanding, and it’s easily the best Chinese restaurant we found in Daytona. Our favorite dish was the Thai seafood curry. It was packed with seafood, and the curry had a rich, creamy coconut flavor that was perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious. Every bite was full of fresh ingredients and authentic flavor. The winter melon soup was another pleasant surprise. It was light, comforting, and had a wonderfully fresh, savory taste that showed the quality of the ingredients. If you’re visiting Daytona and looking for authentic, flavorful Chinese food, this restaurant is absolutely worth a visit. We enjoyed every meal and will definitely come back the next time we’re in town. Highly recommended!

Great service by the woman (who appeared to be one of the owners) and the food seemed to be being cooked by the other owner who is her husband. We based this assumption of who is who on their "story" on the menu. So, the woman was efficiently and very friendly in caring for each and every table on our Sunday lunch visit. We came in hungry and we're promptly greeted and seated. The server brought us a little bowl of wontons and a sauce for dipping while we looked over the menu. The wontons were great as we came in hungry and ready to eat! We started with a Summer Roll that was stuffed with veggies and shrimp and served with a peanut sauce. For our entrees were ordered Pad Thai, Panang Chicken and Bibimbop. Everything came out piping hot. The menu is broken down into Thai, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Curry, Hibachi... Ordinarily that would be a bit extensive for a menu but they keep the selections in each category smaller so that helps to make the choices easier and preparation and serving more efficient. Overall we were pleased with the food and service.

It was our second visit, and once again we had a great time! Thank you to Sofia (or Sophia?) for being so kind and helpful, we really appreciated it ! 🫶 The food was just as amazing as we remembered. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Welcomed with open arms by Alice the owner. Started out with the plum wine and crab rangoon. We ate most of them before we remembered to take a photo. Followed that up with the ramen soup bowl with chicken & the pineapple rice with shrimp. We both had leftovers. The menu literally covers all of Southeast Asia for any appetite and everything is delicious.

What a great little place! I am not a huge fan of coconut but I tried the Coconut Lemongrass soup and it was amazing! The krab Rangoon was crisp and full of flavor. Steamed dumplings were so good and the hibachi chicken and sesame chicken was fabulous! Worth the drive for us to get here and we won definitely come back. The staff was super nice! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!
