I do not know how this place gets bad reviews. Ive been here a couple times recently and everytime the food is fresh, and service is amazing. You can tell they put alot of love into the food. I will be a regular here for sure! And they have a 99 health score. Show me another place that does!!!

no fortune cookie…? i feel robbed.

The food is very bland and has no flavor. Not your typical Chinese food flavor.

Beat Chinese food in Charlotte! Especially if you are a New Yorker, it tastes just like home. I have been going here for years now and drive 20 minutes to get my food! Coco is the best! . She is always friendly and very generous with the food! Food is delicious as well as the customer service! Thank You!

Order a large General TOS chicken. But received a small. Worker who answered and took order apologized for sending a small after we advised on what it came in which is the container used for small portion. She offered to credit or send the remainder of the order back out. Then placed on whole to speak with manager. Who then insist it was a large ! Which she already agreed we received the wrong size. Ripping ppl off is not a good look. I never spend there again. 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

got it delivered- CFR, Gen Tso, Phi-Stk-
Philly was broken up hamburger.. IDK if this is the norm- Decent if sold as a "chopped cheese" 3/5
General Tso's was 64% chicken skin & very disappointing, but there was a piiile of it- 1/5
Chicken Fried Rice was also a large portion, but overall forgettable.. bean sprouts & green onion the only vegs & the rice wasn't fresh- 2/5
**The sole standout was the eggroll that came with the Gen Tso Chkn.. should've just got a sack of those 4/5
--skip this place--

My family loves this place . We are originally from NYC and it reminds us so much of home . Plates are huge and always more than you should even eat . Not only that the two women that are always at the counter are some of the nicest people . Thank you for being a staple in my family's rotation for the last 3 years . We will continue to support y'all.

It was my first time trying this Chinese spot and both the food and the service there was great . I went in with a big complicated order and the lady up front was very patient and polite. The food was out in less than 20 minutes and everything I had ordered was there. I Will definitely be coming back again ?.

People are actually out here leaving reviews with the wrong pictures and addresses. Imagine getting caught lying in 4k like that.

Anyways, I'm here to leave an actual review for the right restaurant as I have been eating here for over 3 years now. Never had any major issue. And even though prices have gone up (understandably so, since inflation on everything these days) they are still one of the best bang for buck restaurants out there when you're hungry. No one can honestly say that they have ordered from this restaurant and didn't get a lot of food. They fill up your plate (or tray) overflowing. Keep up the good work!
