Terrible, mismanaged. Has the gal to charge $15 for fried rice and then make me wait 50 minutes for it. Never coming here again.

The food is average Americanized Chinese food. I was disappointed with one of my orders, the container was 3/4 full of rice and only an extremely small portion of pepper steak. ? I chalked it up as a mistake but next time I will check my order before I leave.

Man, worst experience I have ever had at a Chinese restaurant. I’ve had some bad Chinese food in the past, but this one was the absolute worst. I ordered the Orange Chicken lunch menu version. The soup came out and was ok. When the main meal came the egg roll was hot but mushy at the same time. But when I tasted the chicken it was cool not just the chicken but the sauce as well. I asked the waiter quietly So I would not let Anyone around me hear and affect their judgement to bring me some chicken that was hot. He rolled his eyes and said that next time I need to order my order spicy. I said sir that’s not what I mean. I just want some hot food. Can you bring some. He said on the side and I said yes. He then brought over the chili paste. I said not what I meant he walked away and I thought he ordered more chicken hot to bring. I didn’t care about how spicy just temperature hot. I waited and I picked a little on the rice making sure I saved room for the meal when it comes back. I picked a little more. Then he brought the check. I said I now have to pay for a meal that I took one bite of, an egg roll and soup not to mention 3 bites of rice. I did raise my voice a little but only because he kept telling me I have to order that way. I said how to be hot food you served me cold food. Anyway it was bad. I paid my 9.99 plus tax and even left a tip.But I will never be back and I will tell as many people I can to stay away from this place!!!!!

Remember shrimp toast? You can get it here. And crab rangoons are better than most.

Order 2 lunch specia which were supposed to come with pork fried rice. NEITHER did. Overcharged for plain old white rice. At least the chicken was okay.

If I could give them ZERO stars, I would. There delivery drivers can't find an address 5 minutes away from the restaurant.

The BEST Chinese food! They’ve been open since I was born and I have NEVER had a bad dish or experience here. I have so many fond memories of coming to Sunday brunch and dinners here with friends and family and they have always been consistently delicious and the flavor is always amazing! Just the smell brings back nostalgic feels. The ultimate comfort dish. Highly recommend the wonton soup whenever you are feeling under the weather or just need a good pick me up.

I WAS a big fan of this restaurant but effective today I AM NO LONGER. I placed an order approx 5 pm SHARP today and was told that my order would be delivered 45 mins after placing the order. At 6 pm SHARP I called to check the status of the order and guy with whom I spoke rudely said. " YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT THEY HAVE OTHER ORDERS AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING OFF WORK" (mind you this restaurant is RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOME) When the order finally arrived @ 6:30 the delivery person said CAN YOU GIVE ME A TIP. I said WHAT(to ensure I heard him correctly) and he REPEATED it. In conclusion I tried to take the hinges off my door. # dropthemic

The food is good, but the amount of meat they give you is awful. I order the house fried rice and I can literally count the amount of shrimp and chicken I have. Yesterday they gave me 3 shrimp and 5 little pieces of chicken. My coworker ordered shrimp fried rice with THREE DOLLAR extra shrimp & she had about 10. They were sitting on top of her rice. The egg drop soup use to be my favorite, but it seems they’ve changed the recipe or something. Anyways, won’t be going back.

Every dish used to be very flavorful and well made. That's how we fell in love with this restaurant.Today we had very bland food. The Won Ton soup had no flavor. When I received my General Tso chicken I had to ask if it was the correct order because it didn't look as it used to before. And it tasted like a frozen meal from the supermarket.Please bring back the previous cook.
