Never eating here again:
We used to eat here a lot but the quality of the food went downhill fast and after several terrible meals we stopped ordering food from them. Then someone told us the place had changed, so we thought we would give them one more try. WHAT A HORRIBLe mistake. The food was horrible. The Pot Stickers were not fresh. They were stiff and seemed like they had been purchased frozen and NUKed. YUK. Taste-less, not juicy...did they appear to have been cooked in a WOK. Yuk. The same was true for a chicken dish. Dried-out, stiff, not juicy and appeared to have been purchased at BIG BOX store frozen and reheated. Nothing we got seemed cooked or prepared fresh. Then we come to the Chow Mein which was as bad if not worse than the other dishes we got. The chicken was drab and stiff and tasteless. It had a grey-vanilla coloring to it. I hate having to write this review, but for the $50 we spent, we felt ripped off and Very disappointed. They need to get a real cook, cook FReSH food, use a WOK and go to Chinese cooking school. What they are currently serving is dreadful and went in the garbage.

Small place, not meant as a full blown restaurant, first time ever here the food was very excellent, good flavors, huge scrimps y my dish (i was surprised) portions were enough for two people but i ate it by myself. Prices were very fair . The waitress was very nice, sweet and respectful. I will come back again and again until they change the cheef or flavors.

The sweet and sour chicken was too chewy, the pad thai too sweet, and the Kung pao chicken bland. The only good item was our crab rangoon. This was our least favorite Chinese food in the area so far.

House sweet and sour sauce is really good. The egg rolls are some of the best I've had. The crab rangoons are top quality too. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu.

Best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I grew up having food from here. I moved to Florida 8 years ago and just flew back and had it again and they haven’t changed at all. Egg rolls are big and are homemade. Best house fried rice anywhere hands down. Orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken are amazing

Food and service is great. Egg drop soup is a must. Smoothie was made to perfection; strawberry banana. Portions are generous. There are some tables and booths, but not a lot. They also have some gambling machines.

I ordered the Kung Poa shrimp lunch and suggest that to do to if your looking for a recommendation. The order has a fresh celery crunch, a savory sauce which isn't to spicy and peanuts. Not to mention the delicious fried rice which is part of lunch. And be sure to order egg rolls because they took are delicious. Ask for the hot mustard if you like.

It's obvious they don't often have customers dine-in. The inside really needs a renovation but despite the old and worn decor the area is very clean and I mean I didn't go there for the decor lol
I had the potstickers and they were honestly the best I've ever had. Large, filled to the brim with pork and veggies with a delicious vinegar sauce and chili oil on the side.
The two employees I interacted with were wonderful. They didn't realize I'd come to eat there and when I started to unpack the bag they handed me the lady hurried to bring me a plate, napkin, and fork before offering me a glass of water. I spoke with the chef who'd made my meal and you could tell he was very enthusiastic about what he does.

If you think their food was good here once, you’re right— but new owners took over around 2023. Their food was FANTASTIC. I don’t know if the new owners changed the whole kitchen staff or just forcibly changed the kitchen’s practices to save time/money, but it’s definitely not the same place.

DO NOT EAT HERE. We only came here because of the coupons.We'd never tried it-- but I was very suspicious when I ordered 4 whole meals and they said it would be done in 15 minutes. The chicken tasted and felt like it was cooked ahead of time and then re-heated. It was gross and I asked for medium spicy and all they did was add red pepper flakes. Their menu doesn't even have a picture of their food, only their slot machines.

It seems like the food was good here once. I remember picking up an appetizer from here some years ago and was surprised how good it was. Recently craving Chinese my husband said we should go here because he remembered it being good. The person at the desk was very helpful and extremely nice but that was the best thing about this place unfortunately. The food was not good. We ordered beef lo mein, Mongolian chicken and egg drop soup. The meat in both the main dishes was off, chewy, dry, and flavorless. A really bad taste. The Mongolian chicken a zero spice to it. That dish is supposed to be a bit spicy and it was very bland. The egg drop soup was better than everything else but nothing to praise. I would not go back. I have been hearing from others that I talked to that this place was once good but has really fallen off. I threw everything out. I am glad I didn't order a bunch of items because I would have been upset. Still in search for a decent Chinese place in the area
