   Delicious! Very loud on a busy Saturday night - so if loud is not your thing, don’t head there on a busy weekend - but great food and excellent service… will be back!

   We absolutely love Old Thousand’s food and brought my mom specifically because she never gets good Chinese. But it literally took us twenty minutes to get a waiter to our table, food took a good 40-50 minutes. And the donuts I hyped up so much because I love them were barely edible. They tasted like wanna be top golf donuts instead of the delicious Chinese buffet throwback I love. I will go back just because the food is unbeatable, but I won’t be bringing anybody with me again until we have a better experience!

   I wanted to thank you for hosting my birthday party last night! We had such an amazing time and loved all of the appetizers (hot & sour soup was a crowd pleaser), mains, and desserts! Our server was knowledgeable, sweet, and on top of it.

   Food was great. Music played was too loud. Could barely hear person talking across the table.

   This gem is about 1000’ from my house and I wish I had tried it sooner. Such a cool vibe and food. Modern hip hop meats classic Americanized Chinese food in the best ways possible. Don’t sleep on it!

    The waiter was not attentive and required for me to wave him down to order and pay the bill. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived. However the food was excellent.
