This is a relatively new Chinese restaurant in the Vernon area that offers Szechuan, Hunan and Cantonese style food. We are very picky about Chinese food and have tried other restaurants in town. The food here was fantastic! We ordered Hot and Sour soup (some of the best I've had), Crab Rangoons (huge and crispy), Lo Mein, Fried Rice, Eggrolls (again, huge and crispy) and Kung Pao chicken - just the right amount of spicy. This is a place waiting to be discovered by locals that love Chinese food. We plan on making it a weekly habit.

We went on their opening day and waited over 45 min for our food, went next door and ordered to go and got that before the original Chinese food order was done. Buckets of food on the floor, the staff all sweating into the food and complete lack of organization. We did try again a few months ago and the food was bland and still took forever, it's a big no for us.

Plenty of parking in a strip mall; which may turn you away, but do stay. This is not storefront fast food. Large restaurant with comfortable seating and nice decor and a separate bar area. The service was friendly and efficient. The dishes, Thai and Chinese, were delivered hot and prepared as ordered. The portions were plentiful. A pleasant meal all around.

What we liked about this restaurant is the selection of very unique dishes that do not appear on the average Chinese restaurant. Their seasonal vegetable selection was very interesting and we chose the loofa squash and it was delicious. The heart cabbage with Chinese mushrooms was superb, as was the chicken and cashew dish, and the asparagus lettuce. The shrimp in garlic sauce was just spicy enough and the shrimp themselves were perfectly prepared. The staff is friendly and helpful when negotiating a very large menu with unfamiliar dishes. Very exotic selections: sea cucumber, kidney, pork cheeks, beef tendon and pork intestines. Good food, authentically prepared in a very pleasant laid back environment. We will return.

Super friendly staff. Entree comes with small salad and awesome ginger dressing. The Negimaki came out sizzling which was very cool. The place is very clean. Very quick kitchen. The ambiance is very nice.

My mother-in-law just had here. It is her favorite restaurant. We had almost two down family members. they seated us all comfortably. Chinese is not my personal favorite, but I had a sizzling seafood platter. It was good, and really was sizzling. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals.

This was our second trip, although the first time they ran out of Corona beer (liquor store next door?) it was an overall good dinner. This time like last time we called ahead to be placed on the waitlist however the guy answering the phone said they don't do that even though the night before we were told they do and did it our first visit. Anyway we got there at 8:15pm and was told it was a 30-45 min wait. So we asked the host to call their sister restaurant down the street to see what the wait was. The host called and talked to the owner which told her their not taking any more customers???? There were six of us, a lot of money gone. So we waited in the bar where there was a bug in one our martini's not a big deal but the bartender seemed annoyed when it was sent back. Then a waitress where my wife was resting her wine on had to place menus so that she had to hold her wine. This was extremely rude so when she did it again I asked her is that the only place those menus can go. She responded rudely, "That's where they usually go." Couldn't put them anywhere else so that a paying customer can place their drink on? Not a person that should be in customer service. The meal, it took a very long time to finally get our meals, and at 9:30 pm the dining room was 2/3 empty. My haystack fries were cold, my burger was way overcooked. In fact all 6 burgers were overcooked but after waiting a long time no one was willing to send back their food. I live fairly close to this establishment but after this horrible experience I will drive the extra miles to Plan B or Max Burger for a gourmet burger with better service. I've been to all three Lepri restaurants and after this I won't be going to any of them!!!

If you are lazy and live near Crystal Lake, then you already know how much of a savior this place really is. SUPER fast staff, enjoyable chinese classics, and right around the corner from the lake. Give it a shot, you can't go wrong with their combo plates and some chinese donuts for dessert! Slightly overpriced, but given it's location, I'd gladly drive two minutes and pay a bit more, rather than drive into Ellington Proper.

They really have a good selection of Asian food: Chinese, Thai, Japanese served with beautiful presentation. We were pleasantly surprised by very attentive and friendly service, white table cloth, and complimentary food (tea, snack, and surprise at the end). The prices were also good. Amazing to find such a great place in a small town.
