Don't think I have ever in my life and search of good food had Chinese food as phenomenal as this. The general tsos chicken is spicy and full of flavor. The beef lomein savory and saucy and with tender beef. The Singapore noodles blew my mind away with it's flavor, especially with the curry sauce. I don't usually enjoy egg rolls, I devoured the delicious Vietnamese egg rolls. I couldn't be happier, will be coming back at least once a week from now on.

Old world charm with a true gentleman as a host. The Honeymoon Suite was above and beyond our expectations. The room was huge, extremely clean, well appointed, has a great view of Main Street, and the decorations are over the top and you have to see it to believe it! Mr. Lee was an amazing host who stayed up late to meet us, gave us a wonderful greeting and introduction to the room. He brought us breakfast and was incredibly warm with an old school charm. One of our favorite Airbnb experiences to date.

We were visiting Lexington, Kentucky, and took a ride out to Paris to see the tower. Paradise Café is right next-door. Amazing that it’s in the tallest three-story building in the world. My wife is from Massachusetts and loves the Crab Rangoons They serve there. They were strikingly similar here and she was quite happy! It was a cool day so we had the Pho. Plenty of slices of beef in it. And quite tasty. If you drive by and don’t stop for lunch, you’re doing yourself a disservice

This place's ambience and decor are quite an experience. The primary red of the room is interrupted by golden dragons holding golden chandeliers. The sinuous woodwork is also beautiful and it is very soothing to be in the place. The food is average if you are vegetarian but my meat eating friend said their food was really good. I would recommend this place just for the vibes. The staff was very friendly too. The building is also known in the city to be the tallest three storey building in the world, but I dunno how true that is.

I just had to share this amazing find with google. The food at this place is absolutely fantastic, and the owner is just the kindest person you'll ever meet. Inside the restaurant you will see beautiful tributes to his late wife, and it's definitely worth making the drive to Paris to experience it. Trust me, you won't regret it! Highly recommend checking it out.

This place is pretty good. We haven't had anything that blew us away there yet but the meals are certainly good and we've gone now several times.
