The food is great. I would drive across town to eat here.
We ordered delivery and were so impressed with the quality of food. The eggs on top if the lo mein and friend rice were a pleasant surprise. The kung pao chicken was loaded with crunchy veggies and had a nice kick to it. The lo mein wasn’t overly salted, had tons of veggies and a really nice sweet (peanut-y?) flavor in the sauce. Fantastic, crunchy eggrolls. Some of the best Chinese we’ve found in KC.
Great food and great value! I got the dinner combo for $13.50, which comes with an entree, drink, soup, and one crab rangoon. The staff were welcoming, the dine-in seating was comfortable, and the service was very fast. The General Tso's chicken came out very well fried and tender with a tasty sauce, plus a good amount of fresh broccoli and rice. I enjoyed the hot and sour soup and rangoon as well. They even give you fried crunchy noodles to add to the soup! Will definitely be...read full review
