Best Lil restaurant I've been to in Waco so far, staff is super friendly and helpful with the menu, so was already expecting good things from the food. Had the Mongolian beef, hot and sour soup, and crab puffs. Best I've ever had!??

Ah-mazing!!! Wonderful service, extremely fast! Best dumplings, Lo Mein, and egg rolls in Waco! If you let that crazy 1 star lady deter you from trying this place out, you’re missing out. I had a completely opposite experience from her. I will be coming back often!

Just had dinner here. We ordered egg rolls, black pepper chicken, lo mein, happy family and soup dumplings. It was great. Everything was very flavorful. The customer service was perfect, very warm and welcoming. If you like Chinese food this place is for you. Clean, great service, great food, great atmosphere. I highly recommend.

Based on the 4.1 star review for this restaurant, I decided to give it a try. Upon entering, I immediately smelled chemicals, and it was very unappealing. However, I still wanted to try the food and went against my instinct to turn around and walk out.
I was seated quickly and greeted by my server named Kerrigan. She was very polite and attentive to my needs.
I ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch combo with steamed white rice and the won ton soup. The soup was quite flavorful. The chicken was tender but tasted bland and the white rice was nothing more than a sticky white rice, scooped up and plopped on the plate. It wasn't even neat. The chicken had large chunks of white onion, green bell pepper, and a few slivers of sliced carrots. I'm used to sweet and sour chicken having added pineapple, but it was missing in this dish and so I was not impressed with it at all. And to add, I overheard the man sitting at the next table talk about the onions he had in his sweet and sour chicken. He said "if I were to eat those dinosaur sized onions, I would still be tasting them into next week."
I laughed and said Sir, I agree."
If you've ever had really good Chinese food, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you want oversized onions in your food and an aftertaste of what smelled like fabuloso. In closing, I ordered a side of their fried rice. As you can see in the picture, it is nothing to rave about. It's simply their steamed white rice douse in soy sauce. No carrots, no peas, no large onions, No Flavor. This restaurant gets a D- for my disappointment.

Veggie fried rice had an odd flavor, as did the pork fried rice. Sweet and sour chicken was ok. Crab puffs were good. Was on the pricey side for 2 orders of rice, sweet and sour chicken and an appetizer and 1 drink was $50. Portions were decent and the girl that took my order was nice.

Still awesome and the prices are very reasonable as well! Good portions and still consistent quality! There is a reason that they are still here after 50 years!
