Since New Wok hasn't reopened and prices at House of Emperor have slowly been raised thru the roof, we tried here and got 4 dishes we have ordered at many Chinese take out places or even in Chinatown. Here we go: Chicken Chop Suey-excellent! Sauce is tasty, plenty of bean sprouts and pea pods, good amount of tender chicken, trimmed nicely of any fat. Beef Fried Rice-very good. Although it had yellow onion instead of the more normal green onion, and scrambled egg was kinda sparse. Still very good. Beef With Broccoli-would have also been excellent except it had sweetness, I have always hated sugar added to my Americanized Chinese food. BBQ Pork Egg Foo Yung-same comment as the beef with broccoli. The gravy for the egg foo was VERY sweet. Too sweet for me! The only option is large which is 3 paddys not the usual 4. I think without the sugar it would have been very good. Purely take out here, it was obvious they used to have a sit down business at some point but not now. Extensive menu, see their website and either phone order or online order.

Went here for dinner last night and overall impression was a bit underwhelming. Expected a bit more based on recent positive reviews, but it was just okay. The large order of crab rangoon was small in quantity and size of each piece and the egg rolls were on the smaller side as well. I had the kung pao beef which was moderately spicy but the meat was very soft so felt more like it had a salisbury steak consistency. Other meals ordered were sesame chicken which my daughter said was just okay. I had a bite and it seemed like almost ground up dark meat instead of quality chunks of chicken. Last meal was sweet and sour chicken and while the chicken pieces were of good size, the sauce had nothing else in it. Typically other places have pineapple and peppers in the mix. Thought we'd try someplace new since our other go-to place (House of Emperor) seems to have let their quality slide as well lately. Will keep searching.

I ordered the sesame chicken lunch special, came with rice and a side. Sesame chicken is usually my go to anywhere and I absolutely enjoyed it. Nice and piping hot and very flavorful. And I’m usually picky when it comes to egg rolls and their egg rolls are delicious. This was my first time coming and I’m definitely going to be coming back again!!!

I got the shrimp egg foo young lunch special with egg roll and a side of crab Rangoon’s . The egg foo young sauce is a tad too salty . The fried rice that came with it is bland and barely fried ! Might as well been white rice . There was little to no egg no veggie or anything in the rice. My crab Rangoons were the worst I ever had , they weren’t even filled . Like not even half full or a quarter , it’s like they spooned in a teaspoon of filling and the rest is just the wonton .. it was such a waste couldn’t even eat it because it was tough. My egg roll was the best part of my lunch ..

Sweet & sour chicken was fresh and juicy, sauce very sweet but would order again. sesame chicken was tough & dry.. crab rangoon’s pretty good but on the crunchier side

Have tried so many things off the regular and traditional menus. Pleased with all of it and the quality is very consistent. Highly recommend as a local. Takeout process is easy and the owner is so nice!

I ordered beef fried rice, orange chicken with eggroll and it was not good at all the egg rolls were blend tasting the orange chicken smelled really bad and the sauce it was tossed in wasn’t the correct sauce, I tried eating the rice but after closely examining the beef it looked gray in color overall I give this restaurant a 1 due to the lady being nice but -9 for food if I had the rate 1-10
Take out only. No dine-in service

We just got food from Magic Kitchen. Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Threw most of it out. Unbelievably salty too.
