During the pandemic my husband and I would order take out from here very often. Their shrimp fried rice and orange chicken was amazing! We ordered today and the orange chicken was dry, there was barely any sauce, does not taste like orange chicken. The shrimp fried rice tasted old and very dark in color. Will not be ordering again.

We went here the other day, we've ordered takeout multiple times from this place, and it never disappoints. This time, we dined in after we learned that the dining room is open. We got served right away. We started with water and an appetizer. It came super quickly with great quality. We got crab rangoon and spring rolls. After we order our meals. In maybe 5 or so minutes, we got our food. Fried rice with chicken, Orange chicken, beef broccoli, and Singapore noodles. This was the best Chinese food that I've had in a long time. 10/10 would recommend ordering from here, and would 15/10 recommend dining in. It's a much better experience. I wish I got pictures, but I forgot to take some before eating.

I did not receive all of my order and I called three times. They said somebody would call me right back, they didn't seem to wanna fulfill the missing items so I said I'll take a refund. I was told a manager would call me and I have received no response. The vegetable fried rice was not as good as it usually was and it also had other ingredients that typically doesn't come in vegetable fried rice. it barely had any of the advertised vegetables in it.
Also buyer beware each online method that you can order from has different prices and when you select items and choose extra anything it will double (or more) the price that is advertised. I brought this to their attention previously and I thought they fixed it but now it's worse. So you can count on overpaying.

The sesame chicken was fried to a crispy texture, and each bite was filled with a sweet sauce that was rich but not greasy. The chicken was very tender, with a crispy crust and sesame seeds sprinkled on the surface, which added layers of aroma and taste. The sweetness of the sauce was just right, not overwhelming the taste of the chicken itself, especially for those who like sweet Chinese food.

The takeaway was well packaged, the sauce did not spill, and the chicken nuggets remained crispy, unlike some takeaways that become soft due to heat.
The taste and quality of the sesame chicken exceeded expectations and is a dish that is worth trying on the takeaway menu. Whether it is for one person or to share with family and friends, this dish will not disappoint. Will consider repurchasing again!

Love the food here. I recently ordered takeout from this Chinese restaurant and tried their Mongolian beef. Overall, the experience was very good!
The Mongolian beef was very flavorful and the sauce was well seasoned, with a slightly sweet and slightly spicy taste, which was very suitable for the taste. The texture of the beef was tender and juicy, and the slices were of moderate thickness, not overcooked or too tough. The accompanying vegetables were also stir-fried just right, retaining the crisp taste.
The takeout was carefully packaged, the food did not spill, and the heat was well maintained. It can be seen that the restaurant is very particular about details.

Very few people eat here, mostly carry out. Has changed owners a few times but the last time we tried it was just OK. Other Chinese in he area is better.
