Shrimp lo mein and a order of orange chicken with homemade iced tea.

Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations at first. I ordered Kung Pao chicken something I’d never tried before and when I saw peanuts and carrots in the dish, I thought, This is going to be a mess. Plus, I was already in a bad mood thanks to the MTA. Every station had delays, and the whole day felt extra draining.
I figured I’d try the food anyway, expecting the worst (kind of like the day before). But once I actually started eating and gave the dish a fair chance, I was really surprised. The flavors were well-balanced, and the ingredients came together much better than I expected.
For a first time trying Kung Pao chicken, it was honestly impressive. I’d rate the food at least an 8.5 out of 10.
The service was also a highlight. The woman at the counter was super helpful and friendly. I asked if she could refill my water bottle with tap water, and she helped without hesitation.
Wait time was short too—about 5 minutes. For just $10 in Manhattan, it was a great experience. I’ll definitely be back to try something else next time!

I’ve been going to this place since I was 6 I am now 15 and their food is AMAZING. Every time I go here I make sure I get a plate of sesame chicken and pork fried rice with a whole lot of bbq sauce

The food is amazing. When I took the first bite of the sesame chicken, my mouth watered. The sweet (not too much) tangy chicken made me yearning for more, yet it was not done, the combination with the white rice complimented it nicely. Not only was the food good, but it came fast. After I finished reciting my order, it took two minutes for the meal to come. This is so inscrutable to me it is almost like they read my mind. During those two minutes, I had a wonderful conversation with the cashier. She very understanding, and when she laughed; her smile was infectious. This was not the first time I have come here. The delivery was speedy. When I was waiting/watching for the delivery driver, I thought the 60mph car was my driver. On the delivery app, the city one biker seemed to go 20 mph minimum.

Although they got my order wrong the food was very good. I don't mind traveling the extra blocks to come back here again. There is another Chinese restaurant closer to me but for the exception of one person the staff are very rude and the food is so-so.

Food is fantastic. Can see why they got their B rating, but with a little more cleanup, they'll be up to a 5 rating from the City. Truth.
