For years now this restaurant has been my family's go to for Chinese takeout. We are always happy with our experience with the staff and food. The food is always fresh, with good portions and prices. Tonight I ordered the General Tao chicken it was nice size pieces, crispy covered with a good amount of delicious sauce. I definitely recommend this place to others!

The wait is honestly not bad for a place like this, I mean it’s not a fast food restaurant they are making you food probably when you order it.

My favorite experience with this place is when I was having the worst day of my life and I wanted to Chinese to make myself feel better. One of the gentlemen came out to my car and gave me a hug. Literally was the biggest thing I needed that day.

Will always come back 💕

Went on a whim. Ordered General Tsao Chicken and 2 spring rolls. Service was professional and polite. Chicken tasted old and freezer burned. The spring rolls were sitting in a literal pool of oil, and I dont recall spring rolls having shrimp in them, but I could be wrong. The rice was... well rice. No flavor to it. The rangoon was the best thing in the whole order, and it was mediocre at best.
This place will do fine if youre starving to death, but if you just want to see if the food is any good, DON'T....Trust me.

I’ve never left a bad review but this place deserves it. Tried calling restaurant afte getting pineapple chicken for someone with a nut allergy. Literally tried for an hour. No answer. Voicemail full. So I ordered a beverage for takeout and in comment section explained my question and left my number. App said order was seen, but was ignored. I did not get beverage. So I start really looking at the food and I find mouse droppings in the entrees. No joke. Kept the food in case the place had questions. Went into the place the following day to explain the two issues. Could t get ahold of anyone and mouse poop in the food. I did and they kicked me out. It was unreal. I am sending my food to the health department with a letter. This place deserves to close

Employees & service were good for me, but the food isn't the same since the Indians took over. Orange chicken had no flavor, overcooked & chewy.. Crab Rangoon honestly tasted kinda bad.. almost sour.
Fr disappointing. Used to be a great place... Won't be visiting again, not worth the money.

This is the best Chinese food in Independence hands down. There is a drive-thru or you can go inside and order and eat. Employees are friendly and food tastes delicious!

The food is just not the same as it once was. Very dry and bland. Used to be the best!

Best fried rice I've ever had. I have to give atmosphere a low score because I never eat there. I only pick up and go. They're food great. The people are nice. Need I say more?

I ordered the general tos chicken with fried rice and 1 crab Rangoon. The general tos not too bad.it was a little over cooked and the crab Rangoon was definitely over cooked. No feeling inside crab Rangoon..
