Very solid place. Good food and fair places, open pretty late. Places like this are the backbone of a community.

whenever I come in here, the staff are working their butts off. super busy operation that seems entirely family run. as a former resto kid, I have nothing but respect 🫡🫡🫡
food is yummy and all the friends I've fed it to say it's within their top 10% chinese food experiences!!! the hot n sour soup & garlic eggplant are so good that my former roommate (who moved away for work) tells me she still thinks about it!

Menu is dangerously untruthful. I ordered the fried wontons as takeout because the menu said the inside was just cream cheese.
Luckily, my partner took a bite before I did and said it tasted a little like crab. I am VERY allergic to shellfish, so I called the restaurant and this is how the conversation went:
Me: “Hi, I was wondering if there was shellfish in the fried wontons”
Her: “you want fried wontons?”
Me: “no, Im asking a question about them. What’s in the fried wontons?”
Her: “ wontons can have meat if you like.”
Me: “no. what is in the regular fried wontons?”
Her: “oh regular fried wontons? Just cream cheese.”
Me: “okay so there’s NO crab in the fried wontons?”
Her: “oh…yes, crab in the wontons”
Me: “there IS crab in the wontons?”
Her: “yes crab and cream cheese.”
Then I hung up. Are you KIDDING me lmao?? First, the menu doesn’t say anything about it. Then the restaurant isnt truthful until pressed on it. If i had taken the first bite instead of my partner, i’d be having a severe allergic reaction. We normally love this place and just wanted to try something new, but this was really upsetting.

Good Chinese takeout. The fried chicken/ fried rice platter is my favorite. Fries are crispy. Good option for quick Chinese food and reasonably priced

Customer service here is nonexistent! The young lady that works the register often does not acknowledge customers when they arrive and when she does its, "What you want". Lack of investment in the community where you do business. #Notgood
Ordered from here twice. We got shrimp egg rolls, roast pork egg rolls, pork fried rice (with egg) shrimp lo mein, and chicken lo mein. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the neighborhood and like Chinese food.

I tried alot of chinese spots and this one is the most consistantly good. I prefer when the lady makes my general tso chicken since the chicken comes out slightly better(no offense to the others who cook)

Love their food and great service! Linda and all are working their tails off at this super busy and yet still VERY quick restaurant. Take out only, they have great General Tsos chicken and I love their crinkle cut fries. Great boneless spare ribs too. Big portions!

Yeah , it's a good place to eat Kung Fu food. I call them up for delivery at times when I stay home from my day off from work and watch Star Trek.
Vegetarian options: If you are a vegetarian they have special dishes that you may enjoy and sink your K9s into ?

I honestly don’t know what to think. I have been eating from here at least 3 years. Pick up and delivery. I love their food. Nothing fancy but definitely good. Well, today I ordered delivery. I immediately smelled a foul odor when the delivery guy handed me the bag. It honestly smelled like a wet dog. I smelled my food and I didn’t smell anything there. But when I went in the bag to look for utensils (that I asked for but didn’t get), I could smell it again. I smelled the plastic bag closer and it smelled horrible. Again, it smelled like either a wet dog or old rancid meat. I’m grateful my food didn’t smell or taste bad, but it makes me question what’s going on in there that the bags smell that bad. Not sure if I’ll order again which is sad considering how long I’ve been eating there.
