I’m not going to lie. We order pretty much the same every time we place an order. The food so far it’s good. You don’t really get much for $60. So far it’s the only place that I can say makes good pork fried rice. What I don’t understand it’s every time I call to place an order for delivery they are quick to ask will I tip the driver and are quick to want to add it to my credit card I finally asked the guy that answered and said tip has always been a option. And asked how much do they charge for delivery. I don’t mind paying for the delivery but he got upset when I said don’t add tip to my card. Only reason it’s because I always give cash. Guys explanation it’s every restaurant always ask for tip. Never heard that before. But every time I kept asking he kept cutting me off. Again the food that we order has been good so far. But you cannot force anyone ti give anyone a tip for delivery.

The worst chicken wings and pork buns I've ever had. I don't know what kind of batter they use but its super thick and it's like you are biting into a burnt egg roll layer before you get to the meat. And the pork buns ? I bit into one and it had paper on the bottom. Flipped the other over and that did too. No one was even there so I know they weren't swamped this place is ridiculous.

Exactly what you'd expect when it comes to takeout Chinese. It's not fancy but it's consistent and tasty. Don't skip the chow fun and chicken and corn soup.

We recently placed an order from your establishment, and unfortunately, it will be our last. We ordered beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, and general Tao. The beef was tough and chewy, and the batter used on the sweet and sour chicken and general Tao tasted unpleasantly like funnel cake batter. As a result, we were unable to enjoy the food.
When I called to express my disappointment, the individual who answered, Amy, repeatedly stated that the restaurant has been in operation for 20 years. While I understand that this may be a point of pride, it does not excuse the poor quality of the food we received. In my opinion, 20 years is too long to be in business if this is the level of quality that is being provided.

This place is one of my favorites. The service is fantastic. The food is consistently excellent, always fresh, hot, and delicious. My favorites are the General Tso’s chicken, the steamed dumplings, and the egg drop soup, but everything I have had has been fantastic. One would not expect this level of excellence from a small restaurant hidden in the corner of a shopping center. I recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for good Chinese food. My family, friends, and coworkers love it.

Surprised by the lower rating for this place. We’ve eaten here two or three times, it has always been good (sweet and sour chicken and vegetable lo mein for a vegetarian). The workers are always polite, ordering for takeout online is easy, always ready when we get there and warm. We are very happy with this place for our local Chinese take out.

I ate one piece of chicken and had to throw the rest out. Worst Chinese food I ever ate. Chicken smelled rotten, and had the texture of a sponge.

Hands down the best in the area. Fast delivery. Portions are solid & quality of food is fantastic.
Food was not good at all. Order from the lunch menu & got Genera Tso chicken with fried rice special. Amount came out to be $16+ after tax, when the promo was for $12. Not really mad about the extra $4, but the food was HORRIBLE. The chicken did not have the texture or smell of chicken & the fried rice was burnt. I’m disappointed & did not wish to leave this unfortunate review.

This place is an option to consider in a pinch! They give you many choices on how you want your food prepared. I ordered mine without msg and I think that's why I think the food was ... good... but it could have been better? I also prefer smaller chunk chicken pieces, so that's all on me. Chicken lomein had great meat to noodle ratio! The dim sum was subtle and sweet. Food came hot and fast!
