Great local Chinese restaurant with large portions and great prices, especially lunch specials. The owners and staff are very friendly, and service is quick, even if you decide to order at the place and take out. Love their brown and garlic sauce, which I compare regularly amongst local Chinese places. Food is always hot and the place is very clean, though I do wish that they had some sit down tables. Will continue to visit.Vegetarian options: PlentyDietary restrictions: OptionsParking: Free parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendlyWheelchair accessibility: First floor with ramp access.

I went to pay by debit card and was told there is a 4% additional charge. I thought a debit card was as good as cash. When I first went in, the cashier was making wontons. No gloves. She took my money and went back to making wontons. She did not wash her hands or put on gloves. Disgusted.

Been ordering takeout here since 1996. It’s always tasty. It’s always fresh and it’s always made in a very short period of time. They have an excellent menu and plenty of choices. Plus it’s a family business.

Excellent! Great Chinese Food! Dumplings, boneless spare ribs and egg rolls that make your mouth water!

Worst Chinese food I've had in a long time. Seemed like they reheated previously prepared chicken. Greasy and tasteless.

Food was really good and the servings were generous. Only negative is that they don't have tables for dine in.

It cost me $15 for a sesame chicken combination plate. It’s $16 for a single regular order of sesame chicken. The chicken is also dark meat so not very good quality. Also there’s nowhere to sit and no bathroom.Final thing: I didn’t like how the card machine prompts you TWICE to leave tip.After you put your card in:“Do you want to leave a tip”Red button/No“Will you leave a tip later?”NoMachine literally says this. Would avoid and don’t plan on returning for the chicken quality alone.

decent food but extremely rude on the phone. Wasn’t even done ordering yet and he said “that’s it, okay bye” and had a tone from the moment he answered the phone. **UPDATE- was even more rude when i picked up. i was honestly shocked by how poorly we were treated for no reason. literally yelled at my boyfriend to put his card in the machine. i was disgusted. please avoid here at all costs. there’s a million other places much better.**

Chinese food. Typical fare. The outstanding thing is here, is BONE IN SPARE RIBS. Just yummy. If u enjoy a good egroll, tell Steve to make it a bit well done and you'll bite in to the hottest, crispiest, tastiest egroll EVER! (Get the home made duck sauce to dip it in for an additional 50 cents.) Sometimes they won't charge you for it, and sometimes they will. Last thing. Do not leave a tip. The owners keep it for themselves! (Only took me 20 years to figure that out.)

The food here tastes like a very depressed person made it. In technique they make some of the best food on the island, but I can tell certain things are premade when they shouldn't, that the vegetables have probably went through multiple defrosts, and that little care goes into selecting ingredients. For example I got the boneless ribs and it was literally 95% fat. I poured out liquid fat from 50% of the container and the pieces were all fat. It was like the equivalent of four sticks of butter of pure fat. I paid $10 for that.It's such a shame.

Can't eat that rice. Too greasy
