The service was so nice and the lady was overwhelmingly sweet and giggly I just loved it! We got their fried rice with two different types of chicken, with two appetizers and they were all good! The deep-fried bread balls were subpar but I also wasn't expecting it to taste sweet when I got them so that is on me!! All in all it was a good stop outside of my hometown to enjoy some hole in the wall chinese food place :)

I must say this location is the best authentic Chinese food in the Tri-Cities. I love the spicy beef soup. The dumplings are top notch. Every dish tastes to perfection!. Ive been a long time customer here and if your visiting this area please its one of the few places here in the area that are a real hidden gem.

We hit Noodle Thyme for dinner and grabbed several options off the menu to try. Everyone was very happy with their orders and we put everything in a list of what we liked from best to good. The Dan Dan Noodles were definitely the favorite at the table filled by the Beef Noodle Soup. Mongolian chicken was a strong contender followed by the Green Beans and Beef. The house fried rice was very solid and the shrimp shumai was the appetizer we got, which I liked however the rest of the family were a bit put off by the texture. We will probably try the soup dumplings next time. All and all, strong recommendation, food and service were great, will definitely go back.

The BEST in the Tri. Usually ppl have to travel to idk maybe the Seattle area for a great family style Asian restaurant but luckily for the ppl in the area and in the lower or in Yakima county this gem is right here, it's a little over an hour drive for me personally, and it's worth it and will continue to go there as much as I can! It's one of those places where you can definitely not be afraid to try anything because you will enjoy it. Pics are: egg plant with tofu- delicious and I hate tofu. Chicken with string beans: So so good, they put alot of love into that dish. Beef noodle soup: If you come here please try this because you won't regret it. White rice & Egg flower soup with corn: 2,000 out of 10. Wontons in garlic chilie oil: it will take you out and treat you the way you wanna be treated. Karen's AMAZING too Love, love, love this place.

Came in for dinner and was not disappointed. We were sat immediately, and had a lovely server. The food came out quick and hot. The pork soup dumplings were rich and warm. The general tsos chicken was perfectly breaded and seasoned. We will definitely be back.

The food was amazing! We absolutely loved it! I can't wait to go back again and bring more people to try it. We had the beef soup and the general tso chicken! Both were amazing and so full or flavor! The beef in the soup was cooked perfectly! Our server was very nice too!

Good dim sum and dishes. Not exactly certain the soup dumplings were fresh made or came out of a package. Still decent.

New to the area and stopped here for a weekday lunch because their menu has soup dumplings. Decided to have the Kung Pao Chicken lunch special also. The KPChicken was fabulous; fresh ingredients and great taste. The rice was top notch. The pork soup dumpling (Xiao Long.Bao) were good but I’ll try the chicken version next time. I thought they were a bit plain tasting. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and well lit. The server was friendly, helpful with suggestions and explanations, and uses excellent hygiene practices. The menu is comprehensive and you can use the iPad at the table to see what each dish looks like. If you’re in a hurry you can order using the iPad too.
