It’s a fast drive-thru, which is great when you’re in a rush, but the food quality left something to be desired. The Mongolian beef arrived quickly yet fell short of delivering the rich, savory complexity you’d expect. The sauce was overly sweet without enough depth, and the beef itself, though tender, lacked proper seasoning. The Lo mein wasn’t much better—the noodles were adequately cooked, but the overall dish was bland and missing that essential kick of flavor to make it stand out.
On the other hand, the egg roll caught my eye with its perfectly crispy exterior, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. Unfortunately, the filling didn’t quite live up to its promising look, as it didn’t pack the flavor punch anticipated. Overall, while the convenience of a fast drive-thru is appealing, the dishes would benefit from more thoughtful seasoning and a richer flavor profile to truly impress.

Food was horrible. Called location to see if we could get our money back they said no. Owner would take food back and said he would remake only . If he remakes , it will taste the same, if we don’t like the food why would we like it remade. The broth was extremely dark it tasted very old, the sweet and sour chicken was wet not crispy the way it should be. My husband always eats peeper steak and he took one bite and said it was horrible. The owner should offer us our money back over 50 dollars for lunch way to much to not eat it.

The portions are big and the food is excellent. Nothing fancy but clean and plenty of seating. We had a wonderful waiter who was very attentive. Will definitely be back!

I came in just before lunch rush . I ordered lemon chicken and crab Rangoon. My chicken was super dry (I’m talking beef jerky dry ). Clearly this was food from the day before that they tried to rewarm And just messed it up more. Not only was it an inconvenience to bring this back but at that they simply offered a discount next time I come back. No thank you I won’t be back. And the audacity to not even give a full refund lol they charged me for the crappy crab Rangoon I forgot to put back in the bag.

I had the best time at this place! The food is AMAZING—totally a 10/10. Max made it even better with his super friendly and attentive service. I can’t be any happier!!
So happy to find this gem! We enjoy the food esp beef & broccoli and orange chicken. The lo mein is terrific, great flavor and noodles not overcooked. The egg drop soup is veriy good while the hot & sour soup is uneven.The white rice is excellent not the usual tasteless stuff. Service is terrific, very friendly and fast. Generous portions.
UPDATE: 12/2024

The boba was extremely hard and tased like it was a couple days old even though they claim they make it daily. The tea was also made from a power packet in the back and did not taste like it had any flavor at all. They did not offer to give us any kind of refund.
I love getting Chinese from this place. Love that there’s a drive through so it makes it easy. Huge shout out to Kella, she is super sweet and always gives great customer service! Love love the General Taos chicken, and the chicken and vegetables!

Delicious food, excellent service and great prices!! We will definitely be coming more often. Loved the crispy breading of the Lemon Chicken and the Mongolian Triple Delight! The flavor was amazing and portions were very generous!

Doesn't even know what Hoisin Sauce is and they sell pho now. The chick suggested soy sauce.
I ordered the sesame chicken for dinner, it was all batter barely any chicken then it came packed tight and all stuck together like mush ugh was not happy. Thank goodness their H&S soup was good or I wouldn't have eaten anything.

Just got the hibachi chicken, it was swimming in liquid and flavorless. The fried rice tastes old. Couldn't finish the food, I'm extremely disappointed.
