This is the gold standard of Chinese food for me. I used to order from here all the time 10+ years ago in high school and loved it. I have since become a professional cook and so have tried tons of Chinese places around town looking for the best one, recently drove past this place and decided to order from here again and holy cow 10 years later it’s still the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. The cream cheese wontons aren’t all breading, they’re delicious and crispy. The orange chicken is unparalleled I didn’t know how much I missed it. I’ve never had orange chicken that even holds a candle to this one. I’m newly enjoying the chow fun as well! This family can COOOOOK. The food is so well seasoned, it always comes super hot and is insanely cheap for the quality. I’m so sorry I ever ordered from anywhere else, it was you all along Xin Wong.

I stopped here at 2:00 pm on a Sunday. There were no customers there, and it appeared the kitchen was idle, too. Despite that, the woman who took my order was impatient and snippy, on the version of angry when she didn’t understand my simple order of a snack egg roll. When she finally got it, she decided on the spot that my order was too small for a credit card and she tacked on an extra fee. I decided that life was too short to share my business with an angry snippy order taker, so I just left. Their food may be OK, but I’ll never know. I have lots of other options for Chinese food in my neighborhood.

This place is a true hole in the wall spot. I’m so happy we found it! Its prices cannot be beat and the food is good! We have ordered a few times now and nothing has disappointed. My boyfriend has loved the house fried rice. We also have tried the garlic chicken, beef and broccoli, Singapore noodles, and sesame tofu and beef. My favorites have been the Singapore noodles, beef and broccoli and sesame tofu but all have definitely been worth the price. I highly recommend.

It is a take out/ delivery spot. The people who work there are lovely. Highly recommend!

This is a true mom and pop restaurant. Incredible food and kind people. The wontons are so good, and they have probably my favorite orange chicken to date. Good sesame chicken too!

Did a puck up order for 6 but didn't get the food till 615. Not a big deal but should be kept in mind if your ordering a head and time matters. Food is worth it. I keep getting the schezwan chicken because it's so good.

Our local Chinese takeout is excellent. I prefer their food to most of the sit down restaurants in town.
Fast, delicious and consistent! What more could you ask for!

Chinese takeout. I've been going here for years now. My "go to" Chinese restaurant.

Other reviews complain about the young girl taking orders. She is very efficient and direct. English is her second language. She grew up in this restaurant . I don't believe she is intentionally rude. More of a cultural thing, just getting the orders in. Also, her mother is very kind.

Everyone in this place is working hard. You can sit, and watch the cooks making all of the food. I don't order ahead, and they still make it, and package it up amazingly fast.

Their stir fried chicken with vegetable meals are great. The garlic or curry sauces are the best ones .

I also really like their chicken egg foo young.

Been going here for years (10+) for takeaway. Always good food.

The moo shu is good; sometimes better than others (seems to depend on who is cooking)... Never bad, just better (almost Smokey flavored = good).

The egg fu young is a favorite; just take the patties out and put a paper towel between them to remove some of the extra oil.

The sesame dishes (chicken and/beef) are tasty.

The bean curd/tofu dishes are surprisingly flavorful.

Great steamed or fried dumplings.

Good cream cheese wontons.

For the fried rice, we typical will order one veggie and one protein as, oddly, the protein fried rice has no veggies at all. Good fried rice, but not a favorite.

The hot and sour, special soup for two, and wonton soups are all very good. Careful, though, some nights the hot and sour can be very spicy. I like it, but others have found it a bit much.

Again, we go about once a month and rarely are disappointed.

Right from the start the girl answering the phone was rude, I almost backed out of my order because of this.The combination platter does have a good amount of food for the price, but I didn’t care for the wantons or fried rice, just my opinion though.
