I've been a regular at this fantastic local Chinese restaurant, dining in or taking out meals five out of seven days a week, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious, and the service is always courteous and friendly.
Some of my favorite dishes include the Happy Family, which is a delightful mix of meats and vegetables, and the Rainbow Seafood with Kung Pao sauce that adds a perfect spicy kick. The Singapore Rice Noodle is a must-try with its unique flavor profile, and the Hot & Sour Soup is my go-to starter with just the right balance of heat and tang. The Triple Delight Soup is another favorite, packed with rich flavors and a variety of ingredients.
The fact that this place is family-owned adds a warm, welcoming touch to every visit. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine.

We stopped here on our way home after a very long and stressful day trip because 2 other places were packed and my hangry shark 11 year old needed food terribly. There were 5 of us. The food was delicious, the service from the woman who I assume owns the restaurant was so friendly, and it looked very clean. Ordered my son sweet and sour chicken no veggies, the plate was piled high of chicken and he ate more than half of it (my hangry shark), my daughters got beef fried rice (that looked so flavorful and delicious!) and the fried shrimp with a side of rice, and my husband and I each got a dinner combo. The egg rolls were the best egg rolls I think I’ve ever had. And I really appreciated there was something on the menu that I could sample my favorites because the dinner combo comes with lo mein, fried rice, egg roll, crab Rangoon, and an entree, mine was beef and broccoli, it was SO good.

Just tried this restaurant for the first time today. I have a life threatening milk allergy and I was able to eat here safely. I ended up getting the food to go and ate it when I got home. The drive was a little under a hour and the food was still hot when I ate it. I got the shrimp fried rice and it was the best shrimp fried rice I have ever eaten. 10/10 would recommend.
Dietary restrictions: This restaurant handled my life threatening milk allergy and I was able to eat safely.

The lobby of this place is really nice, but the bathroom could use more maintenance(although it is clean). The server didn't speak perfect English, but she was very friendly and suggested dishes to try. The food is excellent and very well priced: you definitely get your money's worth. I just had the orange chicken, crab rangoon, hot and sour soup, and fried rice, and I have no complaints. If you like ethnic foods, give this place a try.

The most fresh, authentic Chinese cuisine in this entire part of the state! The amount of food you get whether dining in or carrying out more than justifies the price. Some Chinese restaurants throw mostly sub-par cuts of vegetables in their meat dishes to fill them out, but not here!A few of our family favorites are the crab rangoons, hot & sour soup and egg drop soup, general Tso chicken, orange beef & any one of their lo mein dishes! We’re never disappointed! If you’re unsure of what you want, ask Ling for a recommendation! She’s always really helpful in finding a dish that you’ll love!
Dietary restrictions: TONS of gluten free, vegetarian, pescatarian, keto & paleo options- everything is made fresh from scratch so it’s easily modified for any specific needs!
