Expensive Chinese food, but open late. I spent over $50 for hot and sour soup, lemon chicken, and Singapore noodles (that includes me tipping for GrubHub delivery though/fees, which were minor because I used GrubHub+).
The lemon chicken was very sugary, but I expected that. Unfortunately, it steamed during the delivery and so was not crispy, but that's not the restaurant's fault (unless they did what other restaurants sometimes do and figured out how to let the steam out with a different container which would be nice). The chicken was your standard restaurant Depot factory farm fare- probably comes pre-breaded. Nothing special,
but again, it was a late night necessity. I wouldn't get it again. When I opened the container to eat the leftovers after it sat in the fridge, it smelled like feces. I ate it anyway and have some bubbling guts but hopefully won't get diarrhea.
The noodles were the highlight. Heavy portion of food. Came with enough shrimp that I didn't feel ripped off. However, only noodles, shrimp, white onion, and green onion. I would have liked more green onion. I would have also liked something else in there to cut the blandness and huge portion of noodles. Oh, there was a tiny bit of scrambled egg too. Not enough to really taste or jazz up the noodles much.
Now my real issue with the food- I love good hot and sour soup, and this was great across the board except for one issue which ruined it- it was nauseatingly sweet. Way, way too much sugar. I don't expect a sugary bowl of soup when I order hot and sour. Totally ruined the soup.
I would order again if it were very late and I was desperate but I would change my order up significantly. However, hopefully that will never have to happen because of the price.

This is definitely a takeout spot. They have just one table and 2-3 counter chairs, but the vibe is definitely "grab and go". All their packaging is for takeout - everything is served in plastic "to go" containers. Keep that in mind if you go there thinking you'll eat in. The food isn't bad and the people are very friendly.

Pretty solid sesame chicken, with large meaty pieces of breaded chicken.
The cashew nut with chicken was okay, but the cashews were soggy, and kinda the worst part. It also wasn’t the most flavorful.

Come here if you want food poisoning and hours of pain. Our stomachs were running the next morning, slept for 4 hours because of the pain.
Food is expensive for the 3-4 pieces of chicken they give you. The chicken was also suspicious - probably pigeon. Kung pao chicken? More like Kung Pao Peanuts and spoiled Bell Peppers in soy sauce water. Wonderful place.

They always ignore any notes or substitution requests. How hard is it to not put 2 cups of whatever oil they use in ONE order of fried rice? Or to NOT add chicken and substitute with a way cheaper vegetable (like mushrooms or onions) instead? Cancel the order if you can't do it, don't charge me then try to rush me out by repeating "We don't have, i'm very sorry"- that was the young and rude relative of (I believe) the manager/owner who was in the back cooking. I wasn't about to accept her "shoo we're done with you now" comment so finally the older guy came out of the kitchen to correct my order. Of course by "correcting it" he also added another glob of oil but hey... arteries clog all the time who's counting eh? I ate three bites and just couldn't do anymore; i gave the rice to a homeless person.
Not coming back here.
They ignore requests for dietary modification. They use excess oil even if you ask them not to.
The young employee at the cashier was very rude and unhelpful. We won't be returning here.

I ordered a meal for two may have been Canton can’t remember literally had to throw it out nothing tasted OK even the color was off don’t know if they change their chef because we have ordered there at least twice a month I think for a year since they first opened and never ever have had such a horrible meal. I am so sad that I have to find a new restaurant to order from I don’t know if they change their chef or what but it was horrible the food didn’t even taste like Chinese food, the sweet-and-sour was soggy the kids fav like just mushy and then the meat was really tough. It’s like it have been sitting out there for l five hours and then got served and I used to drive all the way to 22nd Ave. To go there because I liked their food so I don’t know who the new Chef is you need to change or maybe the chef called in sick and they just had some random person who didn’t know how to prepare food cook it, but we literally threw it out and I opened the cans of soup for dinner that night

Finally found my new favorite Chinese place after all these years. They really pack it in with generous portions, unlike many places these days. Delivered VERY hot and fresh too. Chow mein noodles are my fave! YUM YUM ??
I love the food at the wok station; everything is good; when you order food be sure to order some some dim sum, and spring rolls with it. this place is always open , and stays open late. Be sure to tip them , they give good service , abd deserve it.
This place should be called Mongolian Onions!
Vegetarian options: All onions all the time! 10/10
Best Sesame Chicken
