I’m new to the area and someone recommended OG for Chinese takeout.My first impression was that they were a little more pricey than what I was accustomed to.Secondly, the General Tso chicken I ordered was overcooked. The breading was falling off the chicken and there wasn’t much sauce on the dish. The presentation was unappealing.Thirdly, the fried rice was decent, however, the brussel sprouts were stringy. It resembled hair and made me nervous the whole time I was eating it. The crab ragoon’s cream filling was bland.I will say this, they offer large portions!Will I be back? Ehhh ??‍♀️I’m from St. Louis and we have some of the best Chinese food in the nation! I guess I’m biased.

Every time we are in the area, we have to stop at this place. Definitely my favorite Chinese food I've tried anywhere. Special fried rice is spectacular.

Been here once, not impressed, not likely to return. Had the shrimp with lobster sauce and fried rice. Honestly Chun-King chop suey is preferable! Lobster sauce was chicken flavored, egg drop thickened soup poured over shrimp on a plate. This liquid ran over the edges of the plate! Yes there were a lot of shrimp, however they were under cooked. There was a pile of supposedly fried rice, that again had bits of chicken and scrambled egg, but lacked the usual peas, carrot strips, bamboo shoots and sprouts. The rice was browned from soy sauce, but definitely NOT fried as it was full of sticky lumps of white rice! The egg roll was good, and freshly fried. I did not eat all that was served. I do not waste food, so I brought my leftover rice and shrimp home, leaving a full plate of "sauce" behind. I cooked it the next night, properly frying the rice, after breaking upnthe lumps of white sticky rice, adding oriental veggies and properly finishing the shrimp. Typical small old style table and chair seating. you want good egg rolls, go here. The staff was very friendly.

The Garlic Shrimp is really good especially if you order it spicy.Parking: The parking is good. It can get a little tight during extremely busy times but service is pretty fast.

Large servings of delicious Chinese food are served here. I had the sesame chicken with fried rice. The others at my table had the Mongolian chicken and the General Tso's chicken and there were no complaints.

As an executive Chef I am no doubt a very picky eater. This place has the best Chinese food around. Highest quality I have found at a great price, I would have gladly paid more for how large the portions were. The building is old no doubt but the staff was wonderful. It was an hour drive each way for us to try them and it was worth it. We will be back often.

I was craving chinese food so I went here. The vegetable fried rice is actually pretty good. But this chicken is horrible. I ordered General Tso because that’s what I know and i figured you can’t mess that up. I don’t know what they did but this isn’t even breaded. To make matters worse, I ordered 30 minutes before they closed so I couldn’t even call them to let them know the chicken was inedible. I paid $24 just to be able to eat the rice.
