Don’t waste your money here. I’m not easy to disappoint when it comes to Chinese food but this was just not good, we asked for everything extra spicy and there was no spice whatsoever. The bourbon chicken tasted like straight honey and the general tso chicken was just fried breading pieces, no chicken at all. The Coca-Cola we they gave us was expired by over a month and the fortune cookies were also old. Just nothing good about this place.

The food was delicious, I ordered over the phone and picked it up. It was hot and fresh.
I got vegetable rolls, crispy and tasty. A small wonton soup that was very good. The broth was very flavorful, and the wontons had plenty of delicious pork filling. Even the wonton strips that came with the soup were good. A lot of times, you get stale strips, but these had a great crisp and flavor.
Pork lo mein was tasty with plenty of vegetables and roast pork with great flavor. Chicken and broccoli had a great ginger smell, and the broccoli was cooked perfectly, neither too hard nor too soft.
All of the small portions were pretty big and definitely priced well.
Better than anything I've found in Pittsburgh, that's for sure!

It's unfortunate to see a number of bad reviews here. This is my husband and I's favorite take out Chinese in the immediate area (general Colonial Park area)...and we have tried many. We have never had a bad experience here once. Not only do we prefer their food over others, but the prices are much more reasonable as well (and in this economy!)...
Perhaps our experience is different because we don't order delivery. We live within a 3 mile radius, and so it has always made more sense for us to just go grab the food ourselves (for us it just makes more sense: the delivery times are always longer than if you just get it yourself, and I have a vehicle and it's not a big inconvenience to me to just go grab takeout, so why pay someone to do something I can easily do myself?). So, I can't speak for the delivery service in my evaluation.
As far as the language barrier goes, I guess it's simply what I've come to expect when ordering from a Chinese (or Italian, or Indian, or whatever...) restaurant. I don't expect an exchange of communication on the same level of an American restaurant...and I don't need that. They're short and to the point, and for me, that's all I really need (I prefer to avoid all "obligatory" small talk, if I can help it, haha).
Until something gives us a reason, this will remain our "go-to" Chinese take out. As of now, I have no complaints and only positive experiences (and we've ordered here many times). So, I guess, you'll have to decide for yourself, but I'd say it's at least worth giving this place a shot!

These guys make amazing food and have great portion sizes for the money. Been getting food from them for over 8 years. These guys are busy most of the time so it's best not to ask for the delivery as it may take longer when they are slammed with customers but don't let delivery stop you from enjoying their food. Just pick up the order and you'll be good.

Love this place. At these prices, i could subsist off the food for years without having to go to the grocery and make my own food. This Chinese food taste the same reheating a week later. The delivery is 3$! I cant even get half a gallon for 3$. God bless these folks!

Some of my favorites are Bourbon Chicken, Chicken with Broccoli in Garlic Sauce (Spicy) Hot and Spicy Chicken (not on menu you have to ask) and Sesame Chicken. Really Good food. One of my favorite spots for Chinese food
