I hadn't eaten there in about 15 years until recently and the food is still just as great now as it was then! The food is garnished to be delicious and it's Fresh and Hot! I LOVE IT???
September 2024
Hot and ready! Omg! I had my food delivered and it arrived fast and very hot like it just came out the pot! The food was very delicious! I had the General Tso chicken, hot and sour soup and shrimp egg roll! I must say that this was the best Chinese food I ordered in a long time! I will absolutely eat her again!
