This place is amazing!!! The food is affordable, it tastes amazing and the owner is so sweet! My husband and I camp at lake red rock partially to scooter up and get some food! Must try if you are in town or even passing by!!!
Been coming here for 10+ years food is always good, very cheap prices. Never had a bad experience. Never had her be anywhere close to rude as some reviews say.

The restaurant was very dirty. The floor, tables, and chairs were sticky. Even the TV was visibly dirty. It took 10 minutes for anyone to come up front to take our order. The staff was not at all welcoming. They had actually brought our food to the table and plopped it down without a word and walked away as I was saying thank you. Other customers came in to order and started at us eating like we were aliens. It was really an odd experience. I felt like I needed a shower and a penicillin shot after eating here. Thankfully, the food was hot and fresh but wasn't the best Chinese food I've had. It was also very inexpensive. We spent about $6 per person including drinks.

Would 0/10 recommend to go eat at this place. They had us questioning if anyone was working because no one came and attended us. The customer service was absolutely horrible. She was getting upset for thinking about what we wanted to get. We got our food, and she slammed the food on the table. The shrimp tasted horrible questioning if it was edible. It tasted like it was a few days old. The people were eating in the kitchen and not attending us.
I love this place, a lot of really good food for supper cheap! It's especially impressive now with raising food prices. If you want really good Chinese come here, if you need a quick meal come here, and if you need a cheap meal come here!
Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options
Kid-friendliness: It's a regular restaurant, they won't mind at all if you have kids and the service is so fast that if one of your kids is getting upset you can just grab your food and go. But they don't upset kids, I just know how it feels when one of mine has a restaurant meltdown!

Kong Pao chicken: tasted like a standard brown sauce (a bit on the sweeter side) stir fry with some peanuts on it. In other words, it is 1/10 authenticity. However, food was hot, and chicken was tender.Fried rice: bad. That was the worst fried rice in terms of presentation. There were darker (soy sauce) rice clumps, and there are ones that were untouched.Sides: The only reason it got all the stars. They were so delicious. Freshly fried and crispy.Service/Atmosphere: I wanted to dine in at 730pm, but after waiting in the dining area for food, the lady came out with my food in to-go boxes because I could not dine in this late. Yikes.Price: Under $7 for a combo? That's affordable.

Yes, there is usually only one person working. Yes, sometimes you have to wait to place an order. Yes, sometimes she might be a little short with you because shes busy being the only person working. The food is always good. Shes a sweet person and does her best.

The food was always good. Quiet place. And clean.I just can't get past when I ordered an additional egg roll, I was told it was too late. But the couple, that had just come in behind me, ordered a full meal. But, I couldn't get an egg roll? I'm always polite. Always tip when i can. But, I can't get one egg roll, and thay can order an orange chick meal. Hmmmm......As a person of color, I won't go back.

DO NOT COME HERE! The food looks and tastes horrible. The place is dirty. You don't have the option to have a dish prepared because the food is reheated and they only have one employee. It's really disgusting ???
Food is good prices are great lady is very nice? the chicken is more traditional than most Chinese restaurants it's quality chicken instead of that mushy stuff, only thing is crab ragoon has more cream cheese than I like and chicken breading is garlicy but that's traditional wonderful place to eat?
