This place is great and no nonsense. You want fast, cheap, great Chinese take out this is the place. Order is always done in like 10mins. Checkout clerk has the process dialed in and out. Also cheaper than elsewhere in town with larger portions. Sweet and sour, Orange chicken, Pepper steak, all are great.
Waited for a very long time for my order. Called two times to inquire. Was told both times my order was on the way. Finally after almost two hours I was just told my order wasn't going to arrive. No attempt to make the order right. No mention of an immediate refund. Avoid this place at all costs.
great real Chinese food. simple decor. fast service.
