The food is very bland. Not enough sauce. Will not order again. I tried it twice. Same results both times.

I ordered sweet and sour chicken but even though the pieces looked big there was barely any chicken everything was bater... won't order there again and will post it on social media. Worst dinner ever had to trash it.

I have given this restaurant three tries, so I can write a fair review. Like others have said, if you want cheap Americanized corner store Chinese food, then this place is fine. If you want good authentic Chinese food, head over to Chinatown or go to Ken Shin Heng Feng on the next block or maybe Spring Garden Restaurant across the street. I will write about the dishes that I remember.
The first time I got food here, I had hot and sour soup. It did not have bamboo shoots, fungus, or tofu like I am used to. I definitely do not recommend the hot and sour soup.
The second time I got food here, I had curry chicken over rice. It was not the bone-in, skin-on chicken wings and potatoes that I am used to. It was dry pieces of chicken breast and peppers over not even much rice. I definitely do not recommend the curry chicken over rice either.
The third time I got food here, I had the shrimp lo mein lunch special. The lo mein was very bland. The lunch special included "fried rice" which just seemed like steamed white rice that had been drenched in soy sauce. I definitely do not recommend either of those items either.

The lady who takes orders was EXTREMELY rude. I will never support this place and will tell others. I tried to order seafood soup. I asked her what seafood was in the soup. Her response was unnecessarily nasty. It's a good thing I don't argue with ignorant idiots. She needs to work on having a pleasant attitude when dealing with the public.

It was just terrible. Chinatown is like 9 blocks away from here, and this is what we get? Actually, I have nobody to blame but myself. The choice of where to eat that evening was solely my responsibility, and it's not like I hadn't eaten here before... i could go on, but I'm not going to spend any more time on this review.
I ordered shrimp lo mein and they gave spaghetti noodles with no sauce.

I've been coming here for years, being as I live near. Food used to be good, but they have fallen off. I ordered a sweet and sour shrimp, and it was awful. I have never seen it made this way. shrimp was nothing but fried dough, sauce was put on the side not on the food, and no vegetables. Totally disappointed and a waste of money. Maybe they switched chefs because the food is not the same. Will not be back.

Took a chance and was immensely rewarded. Got a General Tso lunch special, and, a Curry Chicken with Onions (and other vegetables) lunch special for $7.25 each.
The containers were PACKED. No skimping on the chicken. The containers had half of each along with the pork fried rice I ordered. The rice had onions and beans sprouts in it too. The pork was nice and fresh, and in chunks.
The General Tso's chicken was nice and moist, and came with three broccoli crowns. I'd prefer more spicy heat though.
The Curry Chicken was great and also came with julienned carrots, green bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, snow peas, and, celery. The Curry was very flavorful and had a nice mild kick.
The Curry Chicken also held up well as a next morning bite to eat.
The dining area was basic but there was a steady stream of customers as I ate in during the 2 p.m. hour.
I would eat here again!
