Food was mediocre at best. It arrived cold

Vikram Agarwal

For vegetarians it seems great for take out, don't get all the hate 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had! EVERYTHING was excellent & great customer service! Quick service & food is made to order fresh! This food is so good & my smoothie is very tasty & sweet (try 🥥🥭 with bubbles)💋
Crab Rangoon was so good. Did I mention EVERYTHING was fresh!? 😉
I will be coming back!

All good but
$17 feels like more. But still good sesame chicken. Tastes good

Kevin Banos

One of the worst places. They got to my house 7 minutes after I hung up so food must just be heated up not fresh and no duck sauce. Duck sauce is a must with Chinese food

Ross Pochiro

Pad Thai was horrible

Gregory Alexander

Rude and dismissive manager

I called to make an order several times and they kept hanging up on me due to not understanding I was trying to give them another chance since I've ordered from them once before and it was terrible now I see why they're service sucks also

Had subpar reviews but it’s actually really good orange chicken. Nice fry and crunch on it, not soggy, and they have the lunch and dinner special with appetizer combo. Honestly amazing Chinese takeout. BBQ pork/beef is also very nice.

I got three appetizers and lo mein. The food really didn’t taste fresh and it’s expensive.

Ol’ reliable. Compared with other places with similarly convenient hours and affordable prices, it’s the best I’ve found in the area. Solid food, reliable, and good people!

Rice comes separately, so if you want you can cook it at home to save money, and I like having the option of small or large portions. Someone else (“RK”) left a review whining about not getting enough duck sauce. Well, guess what genius - a separate 2oz container of duck sauce is clearly available on the menu for a very small price! The menu is very modular and I like it that way, I save money and nothing gets wasted.

The gyoza are fantastic. For noodle fans I’d recommend their pan fried noodles over the lo mein. Pretty much everything I’ve gotten here is good though. Nothing fancy, but if you’re in the mood for Chinese takeout, especially later at night, it’s my go to!

Takeout. Fast. Trends American style/greasy. We ordered because our usual places were closed (July 4th week).

Probably won't get again, 2 of the 8 people who ate the takeout had GI issues afterward, but perhaps it was from the abundance of separately sourced watermelon. I was fine.

Singapore noodles have good flavor/mild heat, small shrimps, pork. Personal favorite of everything we got.
Scallion pancakes and crab rangoon - standard.
House dumplings were meh
Lo mein vegetable was bland
beef and broc was as expected, as was the sesame chicken.
Chicken fried rice was not exceptional.
Shumai was liked by spouse, but I thought was just ok.

Order was accurate and well packaged, an abundance of fortune cookies.

Parking: Strip mall location has shared parking which can be tricky to back out of, and is often full, but spots turn over often. Street parking is also possible at times, though it is on relatively busy Somerville Ave. Many spots are residential only.

This food was simply terrible. Not 1 out of the 4 menu items we ordered was edible. A total waste of money.
