Exactly what you should expect from a local family run Chinese restaurant, great food, great portions and super fast, don’t expect a bunch of frilly customer service, they’re a no nonsense place that does great takeout. They’re exactly as advertised I hope they stay in business as long as possible so we can keep getting our spicy shredded beef orange chicken and crab Rangoon order for years to come ??

You know that small town thing where every town no matter how small has 1 Chinese restaurant that has been open forever, nestled in the strip mall, next to whatever department store that has no marketing but none the less stands the test of time; This is that place and its great.
Food: 5 stars. Authentically American Chinese food. Greasy, glorious, necessary. From the delicious wonton soup broth that has been passed down for generations to the smoke ring on the roast pork. This place has that unadulterated flavor profile from the 1990s and man is it good. Ya'll growing up in the Midwest in the 90s and early 2000s know what I'm talking about. So 100% if you're looking for Chinese food of years past to get that flavor of your hometown you haven't visited in a while. Here it is.
Service: 5 Stars. Quick and efficient. Everything fired fresh and hot to order. Its a family run business so its got a family touch to it.
Atmosphere: 5 Stars. For those of you who didn't grow up with your small town Chinese place might not understand that the look of this place is super antique. From the washed out illuminated menu signs that have never had a day of rest since the 80s to present to the drink cooler that's done the same. All of this tells you the food is going to be amazing at a good price. Yes this isn't you new fangled fancy sit down Chinese place but that's not what its here for. This place is here for the lost souls at 2 am who look into their fridge delighted to see leftover Chinese food. This place is here for when you just need that afternoon egg roll that you know is gonna just hit the spot. 5 Stars.

Amazing food! If you’re looking to be catered to I would not recommend this place, but they have quick, cheap, delicious food. Highly recommend the lo mein and shrimp with garlic sauce!

Best takeout Chinese in Urbana! Off the beaten path but worth the trip. Food is consistently good- & they had reassuring protocols during COVID that instilled confidence. Not fancy but reliable, quick, and tasty!
Parking: Easy in and out parking.Go browse Salt & Light next door or check out Dollar Tree or Walgreens/CVS while waiting (if you didn't phone in your order/order online).

This place surprised me in the best way! Lots of veg options and the veggies were fresh and well seasoned. I loved the snow peas and garlic and the bean curd in garlic. The bbq pork ribs were dry and didn’t seem super freshly made. They were flavorful though. This place has no atmosphere and doesn’t even have real chopsticks and forks which is disappointing that they are so wasteful. Overall loved the veggie options and would recommend takeout

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant but they have a crazy login process that prevented me from ordering online. I am hearing impaired and have difficulty ordering on the phone. If this login process is the only way to order online, I guess I'll have to do without my favorite Chinese food.
