Quick note - Didn't eat here (thank goodness). Review covers the service and atmosphere, but I guess you can say the place left a bad taste in my mouth.
I asked a simple question about a business next door to the female staff closing up the restaurant. She had a terrible attitude all without any provocation - practically shouted me out the door. Who would want to try any food from such a vile personality?

Simply great! The food is huge and the boss is super nice! It’s super delicious and cost-effective. The price is impressive. I couldn’t finish the four dishes I ordered.

It may not be the most Instagram worthy location but it is great. The food might not look pretty but you're getting good food. Too many places try too hard to look pretty, this place isn't messing around, you point and move on. Simple and fast, but the quantity and quality is there. You will be getting good food and a large portion.
Vegetarian options: If you don't know what it is, I hope you brought someone versed in Mandarin or familiar with Chinese food.
Dietary restrictions: If you don't know what you're doing or eating, good luck. Order your food or the next person is up.
Parking: Tiny parking lot, you can also park in the street.
Kid-friendliness: If they're okay with spices
Wheelchair accessibility: You might have some trouble, the area is sloped and the building is old so the doors aren't automatic

I don't know much about traditional Chinese food, I'm very accustomed to American fast food that people call Chinese food. So I didn't enjoy the chow mein.However, the staff was incredibly nice, helpful, and attentive. I think the place is a cool little hole-in-the-wall Chinese stop, but it's just not my taste. The floor and overall presentation of the eating area is less than desired, but we still had a nice meal.

The food in this restaurant is not very hygienic. For example, the egg and meat dish was smelly. I even doubted whether the food in this restaurant had been cleaned. I had severe diarrhea after eating it.

Let me first explain that this does not represent all dishes. 4 dishes for 11.
The fried pork liver is relatively old and tastes average.
Fish-flavored shredded pork basically only has sour bamboo shoots without side dishes such as shredded pork and fungus. It should be renamed fish-flavored sour bamboo shoots.
The dry-fried pork ribs have no texture, they are dry and hard, and have no flavor.
The cold pork tongue is okay, the taste of the tongue is not noticeable, and it tastes salty and spicy.
The price is good, and the quantity is large.

So I used to eat here almost everyday lol the prices can't be beat!The Curry is really good but I think it's duck meat, the bones are too big to be chicken.Every order comes with a free soup & house milk tea. The milk tea tastes like it has very artificial flavoring & sugar syrup but it is quite tasty. Just let the ice melt completely before drinking and it's not as sweet ?

I have been on the Orient Express since it opened. When I stopped at the station for a while, I went to eat something else. After I got on the train, I still had to eat. The meals on the Orient Express were more delicious than what Xiaomei gave me, and there was free drinking water.

The food was good. The different variety of food were cooked. You choose the kind of food you want. You can choose from a single to four items. I chose a three item combo. I had meat balls, meat loaf with egg and a pork dish. It came out to $11. They put your food in a big container. You get a small container with rice. The combo comes with a cup of soup and a regular size ice tea. It is not your typical American Chinese style food. You get a better value for your money. The parking is small.

Typical Chinese cuisine. Taste alright, decorations a bit lame though
