We had a craving for Chinese food and stumbled on this restaurant tucked away in a small strip mall. We ordered some pretty standard options - general tso chicken, veggie fried rice, chicken w broccoli, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour chicken. Everything was tasty but with the exception of the veggie fried rice and chicken w broccoli, the dish appearance and flavor is not what you might expect. For example - the sweet and sour chicken was breaded and fried more like italian chicken parm instead of the more traditional battered version; the kung pao chicken looked and tasted more like chicken w pepper and onions rather than kung pao (which is typically more with smaller pieces, zucchini, chili peppers, peanuts, etc - more like "panda express' version" - fully recognizing that panda isn't necessarily the standard either for chinese food); general tso chicken also came with a lot of additional veggies that also is not typical with this dish - nor was the sauce. Overall everything tasted fine but if you have a specific craving for a certain traditional Chinese take-out flavor you may be disappointed.

My first time there and I'll give them 5 stars because the food was good. I did have to wait in a long line and then went home with the wrong order. But they fixed the problem and I came back and got the correct order. Aside from the disorganization, food was great. We'll see how the next experience goes.

Good food always. We have eaten here for years. The prices are reasonable and they usually have coupons.Support this local business

Our daughter told us about this place, so we thought we'd give it a try. I had the Buddah's Delight which was delicious. It was nice and spicy and full of fresh veggies cooked just right (al dente). My husband had Mongolian Beef. He said it was very good. They also gave us a nice big container of rice (much bigger than what some restaurants give you).

We ordered sesame chicken, Mongolian chicken, fried rice and egg rolls. The sesame chicken was disgusting. It tasted like it was fried in old grease. I ate a few bites and the chicken was like chewing chicken jerky. The Mongolian chicken was the same. It was old chicken. The fried rice was rice with soy sauce. It had no eggs, peas or carrots. I could have gone with the white rice and stirred in my own soy sauce and not pay extra cost. The egg rolls were not fully cooked and were chewy. We have eaten here in the past and the food has been great. This will be our last time eating here.

Pretty disappointed. Ordered delivery and it was pretty slow. The shrimp had not been cleaned before it was cooked and every piece had shrimp p**** Threw the whole meal away.

Love, love, love the food here. Our favorite is the orange chicken but really everything we have ever had from here was great. Never cared for the eat in service so we always get take out. Best Chinese food around.

Ken who was the person at the front desk was EXTREMELY RUDE! I'm not sure if there is a communication barrier or he just needs additional customer service training? The food was just ok. We ordered lemon chicken, which was pretty much breaded chicken strips. The rice was good, if there is a way to mess up rice!

Beware.... we have ordered there the last two times for delivery and it has taken over an hour!!! The place is 5 minutes away from our house! when I called to find out what was up they said the order was already sent out for delivery but they had multiple orders being delivered! Why in the hell wouldn't you deliver to the closest house first? And to top it off they already cashed in the tip because I mistakenly included it on the overall credit card payment! NEVER AGAIN!

Ok food, I would say Panda Express would be gourmet compared to this. The service here however is terrible! Rude and very inconsiderate. I would expect during these times that restaurants would be very grateful for their customers, this establishment makes it a point to let you know how much they can care less about you being a customer.

Good flavors but a little out of the ordinary. The orange chicken was very tasty but appeared to be pounded or cut flat before breading. Same with the sweet and sour chicken - very good taste, but flat pieces on which you pour the not bad sauce. The house special fried rice was better than average, as were the won tons. The egg rolls were thick on the wrap and thin on the contents. Also had some BBQ pork which was really good except for the half that was just pieces of fat. Bottom line is that you get a lot of food which is tasty at a reasonable price. Not the best Chinese, but not at all bad. Worth a try

Ordered food at this restaurant. The gentleman receiving my order was somewhat rude. There were 2 phone calls he had answered asking them to hold. I ordered 3 entrees initially and when I attempted to order a Thai tea he said that he sold out yesterday. I then asked him if I can order a taro tea instead and he said that he doesn't have time to make them. Why even put the sign in front of the customer and cashier when you don't even want to make it for the customer. This is my first time here and they already had a bad first impression. The worst part was that I ordered take out and people who called around the same time as I did received there order before I received mine. I waited for a total 50 minutes inside their store for my food. Apparently someone called to order a Thai tea and he happily said they still have it.

We just ordered 5 entrees to go, 2 Kung Pao Shrimp, 2 orange chicken and Mongolian beef. This was the worst experience. Very little shrimp with big white onions and bell peppers only in the kung pao, sauce flavorless and runny, no chiĺl peppers or peanuts and black hair in my entree. The Mongolian beef was boiled and not fried and again full of white onion chunks. Nothing looked like the picture. The hot and sour soup was good and the egg rolls, everything else was disgusting. Tried to call and tell them about the hair in my food,, but they hung up.. Will not order from here again.
