I am going to try this place again. I ordered the Thai Chicken. It threw me off I did not read the description but it’s I was not disappointed just surprised there were potatoes in it. Very good dish. I want to try more dishes.

This is our families go-to, tried and true, favorite spot for Chinese take out. The staff is friendly and you can tell they care about their customers as well as serving quality food. Reasonable prices and large portions. Best crab rangoon in the stateline!
January 2026
The food was great. The pastry part of the appetizer was fried perfectly and you could tell was prepared and stored properly prior to cooking. The white rice was clean, white, and fluffy. The main dish was cooked perfectly, the pea pods, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts were crisp while the mushrooms were soft, and the chicken was juicy. The eggdrop soup was made traditionally with real broth and again put together perfectly. Well Done Chef Chen!!
