Honestly some of the best Chinese food I've had in Syracuse. The fried rice is more authentic than you'll find it most places and the flavor is a 10/10 in the Kung pao and beef+broccoli. I'll be ordering again to try more.The only thing I'd love to see is a few more lunch specials, or maybe a rotating one.

Food is good. Too bad they're never open when they should be for to go orders. Google says open, yet online ordering system not accepting orders. Maybe atleast post on facebook if you're not going to open. Poor business etiquette.

Number 1 search for the best Chinese Food in town, so I had to check it out. If you you're a out of towner like me, DO NOT use google maps it will bring you the wrong way, use Waze. The building where the food is prepared is a Little inconspicuous especially at night. When I went it was on a Thursday. I was confused because it was in an apartments/condo-like setting where you had to have a key fob to enter the building. When you enter the glass building there's a sign next to the door instructing you to call upon arrival I guess. We ordered online for a pickup time of 7pm. I did have to wait 15mins, but the gentleman was very pleasant and apologized for the long wait. We didn't get a lot of food for our first visit, but let me tell you! That fried rice was spot freaking on!! Very delicious. Very Fresh. Highly impressed and satisfied. The sweet and sour chicken was very hard and misshaped, the chicken lo mein was just a miss for me. the chicken was very thin--not my preferred texture of lo mein, I've definitely had better, but I will say it is a hefty amount they give you I'll probably try the beef or vegetable lo mein next time. My friend love her salt and pepper shrimp and the pot stickers were good as well. All in all I will definitely be back because of the fried rice!

I've ordered twice and each time was excellent! The sesame chicken, lo mein, and fried rice were all very tasty. Their portion sizes were great for the price, and they were quite speedy. Picking up in the evening does mean calling when you arrive, but they have a system that works well. And their staff is quite pleasant.

Delicious food and friendly people. It's just lunch time, which is too bad because i would order more from there. Call to order, pull up in front of the building, call to let them know you're there, they come out and take your payment (card accepted), then bring out the delicious food.You guys are ?

This is a take out place with a good price and good sized portions. The Chou fun and Singapore mai fun was good, chicken and broccoli solid. Lo main was a disappointment.

I found this place because of their Google reviews. I ordered a number of items for a large group of people. The portion sizes were huge and the flavors were great. I am especially fond of the Singapore mei fun.

The food is delicious and in huge quantities. We ordered chicken curry, chicken lo mein and potstickers. It was all delicious and we had enough leftover for at least one, maybe two meals. The food was HOT and fresh.We did have to wait about 29 minutes after they said the food would be ready but they were apologetic and genuinely nice about the delay.We will definitely get takeout here again!

A DoorDash driver recommended this place to me and my coworker, so we tried it on a whim. We've ordered from this place multiple times per week since that happened. This place rocks and is not your typical Chinese food spot. I've tried just about everything on the menu, so here's my take on what I've had:Kung Pao Chicken: Fantastic, lots of chicken, lots of peanuts, the peppers were a nice add-on. Doesn't have that typical "slimy" texture that a lot of other places have.Hunan Chicken: I would cryogenically preserve a container of this just so that future generations can taste it, replicate it, and pass it on. It's that good.Szechuan Beef: Great beef texture, good sauce, pretty standard for a Szcechuan dish.General Tsos/Sesame/Orange Chicken: No complaints here, very standard and expected. The dried peppers were a good add-on, love those things.Black Pepper Beef: Properly spicy - I was sweating a little bit. I might also want to cryogenically preserve a container of this.The most important item to talk about here is the fried rice. Fried rice will never be the same for me. All other fried rice (in Syracuse) is inferior to this. If I was stuck on a deserted island with one choice of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be this fried rice.Overall, give this place a shot. It's fantastic.
