I live in Hollidaysburg and they deliver out here. Drivers are very nice and the food arrives quickly.

Been getting food here for many years, likely the best around this area - always a good experience. Have never eaten in house so cannot comment on the atmosphere. Food quality is very good and plentiful, at a good price, menu is extensive Chinese American (you can guarantee they can cook 'traditional' Chinese but not many around here would appreciate that offering). Deliveries are on time and never had an issue. Pickups are always ready when they say. Family business with very nice people operating the place 6 days a week.

Ordered a Szechuan chicken lunch special to have at my office for a quick lunch. When I went to eat it there was not a single piece of chicken in it. I ate my rice and couple pieces of broccoli and realized there wasn't ANY chicken in it. I called over and explained what happened and the lady said that it did have chicken in it and she didn't believe me and said I may have eaten it and just said that. I order there often and was surprised at how rude and argumentative she was. She said I had to return the meal in order to replace it but I only have 30 min lunch. I will never order here again or anyone at the office after her accusing me of lying about the chicken

This used to be a favorite of ours. Biggest disappointment is the last two times we've ordered- no fortune cookies! Today I wrote on the order "don't forget the fortune cookies" but still didn't get any. So I called and was told no more fortune cookies unless you ask-which i had done. Come on--a 75 dollar order and you can't throw in a few lousy cookies????

Small quaint little nook. The food was delicious and plenty of it. I'm a fan of Chinese food and I've eaten it in many different states,but I have to tell you this one rates #2 in my book. The service was very friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend it

Food is 10/10. Service was difficult due to the fact that I could not understand the employees.

They messed my order up as well as over charging us. Basically ripped us off and actually the food was horrible tonight. Thumbs down ?. I will never order anything from them ever again. The noodles and rice tastes exactly the same burnt and the egg rolls were so greasy they almost fell through the.

I was here for lunch in Nov 2022. The door was either jammed or locked and without the open sign I might have assumed they were closed.The sign caught my eye driving down the street as amusing. Everyone always claims to be the best but few put it in their restaurant name. It amused me enough to give it a shot.Despite the restaurant sign, I don't see any Japanese food on their menu. The name here (and menu name) do not say Japanese so I assume their they had it and it went away or they are not motivated to change their sign. That's probably a big deal to anyone driving by who sees the sign and stops in but wasn't for me.Their menu is pretty diverse but standard "American" Chinese fare. Ended up getting Sesame Chicken, Hot and Sour Soup, Beef Chow Fun, Walnut Shrimp and 2 orders of spring rolls.Without specifying, the Sesame Chicken came as a lunch portion (which makes sense, I went at lunch and didn't say, tho I wanted dinner so it was a surprise). It was (also) a surprise to me that came with fried rice which I generally don't care for but my SO said was good. I actually think they may have done this because I said Hot and Soup Soup which they assumed was a combo. My SO also said this was good.Walnut Shrimp (at home advertised as Honey Walnut Shrimp) is probably my favorite American Chinese food dish but not all places carry it. This place did not disappoint. They only had a few pieces of brocolli but no-one orders Walnut Shrimp for the health value if they know what it is :PThe chow fun was good (for those uninformed it's like lo mein but with wider noodles - also not carried everywhere).The sesame chicken was average (but the last sesame chicken I had was terrible so it was a welcome up trending change :P).The spring rolls were not well cooked but on reheat they were perfect.As far as the place itself, it was pretty empty. I'm honestly not sure if they have dine in or not. There was a side room with tables but there was a big curtain which made it look inaccessible. There are 4 wooden padded chairs for waiting. The staff is friendly though I was struggling to understand the person who took my order and I'd say I'm decent with accents. But all ended up well.Ultimately, I would recommend this place if hungry for Chinese and in the area but it definitely was not #1. But perhaps in that area it is ;)

Claim to fame is they deliver. Only seating is for those people waiting for take out. Workers are friendly and keep the orders moving. Lunch specials. Had sesame chicken. Large portion, good sauce, but chicken was dry and stringy as if pre cooked earlier in day and then refried when ordered. Overall this is an average, hole in the wall Chinese restaurant that needs a facility update.

Got a little scared when I saw the rundown building from the outside, but that feeling flipped as soon as I walked in. They have the perfect kitchen setup for high heat Chinese cooking. The staff knew exactly what they were doing and couldn't be nicer. Hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had in Pennsylvania.
