The food is good. But man oh man the prices are crazy high!! Maybe am old school but $22 for fried rice is crazy. Won’t go back! Save your money.

This place used to be golden, now it's garbage. Their online menu doesn't reflect prices, it was more than double the price. The fried rice- rice was old The chow mein- soggy and no flavor The potstickers- overstuffed and overcooked Lemon chicken- "where is the chicken?" Sweet & sour pork- fried pork fat drenched in sauce Veggie egg roll- was decent but the veggies tasted frozen and not fresh So sad, this place used to be really good.

My family has been eating here for years and their food is still hella good! In March they are finally going to open their dining room which has been closed a long time!

Date: Thursday, December 7th, 2023 Meal: Dinner Pickup / Takeout for 3 people Time Picked Up: around 8pm I did not place this order so I have no idea if the hubby's brother went there and ordered in person or called it in. All I know is he came back with a huge box of food. We each got a Combination Plate: all with Egg Roll Original. All Plates came with Sweet and Sour Pork, Pork Fried Rice, plus one chosen item. For the three plates, we got one with Mongolian Beef and two with Broccoli with Beef. I'm not sure how much the plates were, but if the menus I found are correct, it was $19.99 each. The hubby's bro also wanted Mu Shu Pork, so we also got an order of that as well. From the menu I found, it comes with 4 pancakes and is $19.99. The good? The portions are gigantic! It took me 3-4 meals to finish a combo plate. Also, the egg roll? Huge! (Yes, bring on the #twss jokes!) Unfortunately taste wise, everything was a little lacking. The egg roll had too much batter was more reminiscent of a chimichanga. The broccoli beef was standard. As was the fried rice. Tho I wish the combo came with something other than sweet and sour pork as that is one of my least favorite chinese dishes. I didn't grow up eating moo shu pork so I can't comment on how it should taste, but it was basically mush of random flavors. And the pancakes were tortillas which I found odd. (The bro in law actually hates this dish and wanted to throw it away.) I have hot chili oil at home, so I went thru a lot of it to make all the food appeal to my palate. (I grew up eating mostly canto chinese food.) A good option is you need to feed a big family and just want some Chinese food. A few combo plates will do it. But if you want more distinct flavors, I'd probably check out another spot.

We ordered takeout for 9, the order was correct. Everyone agreed all of the food was delicious with large portions. Only had to wait two minutes once I arrived, their service was great. Looking forward to eating there once the dining room is reopened. It's been one of our spots for decades

My family and I have been coming here for years! We love the food and the family that owns it are very nice! If you live in the Evergreen area this was always the go to spot for some delicious Chinese food! Hopefully the restaurant opens up for dine in. Right now they are only doing take out, but it still taste good!

This place looks very unsanitary and the food wasn't even that good but yet the price is way over price for the food that they serve and they don't got that many good selections on the items that are available food is super greasy .
