Usually this is my go-to place for Chinese takeout. I’ve always found their food flavorful and reasonably priced. Last night I ordered vegetable chow mein, expecting noodles (as pictured in my Google search). Mein literally means noodles. So I was surprised and disappointed when I received this bowl of bland, limp vegetables, and no noodles at all. When I called the restaurant they told me that chow mein doesn’t have noodles; if I wanted noodles I should have ordered lo mein. I did some research and apparently this is a regional thing, though not - after surveying my other east coast friends - all that widespread. Anyway, I was disappointed and I’m thinking of taking my business somewhere else. I did give four stars because of past experiences, but I wanted to give a heads up to anyone looking for noodles in their noodles dish.
Good fresh food always - friendly. Has reasonable prices. Number 1 choice for Chinese food in the area.
Pick up to go- not a sit down restaurant

I placed an order as I always do for delivery @ 7:11 p.m. I call them back at 8:19 and was told my food was on the way. Time went by and I called again @9:14 and spoke with a older guy informed him about my order. He apologized and said he was going to put in another order for me. In about 5 minutes after hanging up with him I received a call from a lady saying that the driver was here and he called me several times. I informed the lady that I never received the call and even if I didn't answer why didn't they don't my bell like they always do. After going back and forth with her, I just canceled my order because now it's 2 hours later. The ride women said fine than hung up on me. I received a text saying food was canceled because customer didn't want it. This is bad customer service. I never had a problem until tonight. I believe these are new people that's in charge of the delivery. I truly feel that they need more training.

requested no pork in my rice that came with the combination. My rice was freshly made with no pork and tasted great. They also swapped the egg roll that comes with the meal to shrimp roll with no no request. A small detail but it was much appreciated! Also one of the only places with general tso's shrimp which is a personal favorite.

Ordered Kung Pao, on their website it says spicy. I even entered in the comments section i love spicy foods. 0 spicy chilies 0 spicy in the kung pao chicken but at least there is carrots, celery ,peanuts, and bell peppers. I usually give resturants a second chance but the parking lot is full of potholes and I dont want to risk damage to my car for a chance for this place to get another opportunity. Maybe when the parking lot doesnt look like a warzone ill go again.

I ordered 65 dollars plus tip and my food was horrible. My sesame chicken was so over cooked and dry, the chicken w/ chinese vegetables was over sauced and not one chinese vegetable was in it... i used to like this place but its went terribly down

I guess Chinese restaurants don’t deliver anymore this place is trash & so isn’t the food I definitely won’t be driving to get it. Covid definitely ruined the world.
Great, friendly folks.

This use to be my favorite spot for 5 years but after yesterday I do not recommend their service or food quality. I simply called for a food replacement due to hair in my food and a food item they forgot to place in my order. At first I was transferred to the manager and was told I’d receive a replacement and the missing food item. Five minutes later, I was called by one of their workers, being insulted and screamed that I am a liar, since I claimed there was hair in the food.
