The price is great, but at a cost of the quality of product you get. The food is bland and does not taste fresh. The beef and brocolli was sooo smelly.

Tonight New Year’s Eve at 5:20pm we order our dinner . The lady on the phone wasn’t our normal lady we speak too . At 5:40 pm we received our food it wasn’t hot . We opened the bags and our green pepper with beef missing . I called right away and told the lady . She told me I have to expect this as it’s new years . No sorry no nothing . my husband heard her say we need to expect this , he wasn’t happy and was telling her loudly that he wants his food or the driver can come back and pick up all the food and refund him. She told him to calm down and gave me two choices . To take a credit for next time . Or come pick up the missing item . I explained to her we couldn’t pick up as we had had a couple drinks and it’s not right to drive and that I would like my green pepper and beef delivered . Again she said she couldn’t do that . But we payed for delivery of our food . I’ve never been treated so rudely by this restaurant as we are regular customers . The lady ended up hanging up on me . I called back and told her that I would like the missing item . She said she would deliver. At 6:27 we received the missing item . We know it’s not the delivery guys fault and we did tip him 10.00 and change . But to hear this restaurant say we have to expect this as it’s new years its unacceptable . Just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean we should go with out the food we ordered our order was 75.64 . Very disappointed . I don’t see us coming back after the way the lady wasn’t understanding and hanging up on a customer . Not professional at all .

Meh. It's very underwhelming to me. There are better Chinese spots in hamilton.But for the price it is 5/5.It's the classic North American version of Chinese food. Not authentic at all.

Good Chinese Food is hard to come by, these guys have great fried rice and I love their egg rolls. They are reasonably priced.

I am very upset with this restaurant on Mother's Day. We have been coming here for years and on Mother's Day. They have a menu that says no discounts or free dishes after a certain amount, I feel this is discriminating and very unrespectful of mothers on their special day. Why should this restaurant be discriminating their prices on this day? They should be happy. To give us the discount and the free dish if we are entitled to this like always every day .I have been coming here for many years and I feel they are taking advantage on families for Mother's Day. This restaurant should be ashamed for what they are doing. There are many customers that support this restaurant. So why are they being so cheap on this day? Shame on this establishment and I think from now on. I will not come back here because I don't believe in what they Are doing? I hope many people will comment on this because they want us to support local business but this local business does not support us.l give this 0 stars out of 5.

The food was terrible. The noodles were over cooked and tastes horrible. The lemon chicken was overcooked and hard and did not taste like lemon chicken from other places. The beef with vegetables was under cooked. I ordered here because of a suggestion on Facebook and it was terrible.

Worst Chinese food I have ever had. Lemon chicken was burnt add and tough to chew. Beef and vegetables was tasteless. Pan noodles were dry and stuck together. You couldn'y even separate them to have a serving. I would highly recommend NEVER ordering from this place.

Best beef fried rice in Hamilton. Great prices for 10 years.

Great chinese food. So surprise that price has not gone up much and portions are still big as it always has. Will keep supporting them since theyve barely raised price and quality and quantity has been constant. My go to when i crave chinese food?.
