Solid chinese american food. Quality has been consistent . They still only do takeout though

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.

We have a few different "Go To" Chinese restaurants as we find different places are better at different things. This is my "go to" place when I don't feel well and I just want soup and noodles. Their House Special Lo Mein is some of the best I've had. It has generous portions of different meats and the noodles are not overdone or mushy like some places. Their hot and sour soup is also delicious.

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!

Really didn’t appreciate them not honoring their online prices. Lunch special was 10 something for them to charge me 12 on the receipt. $14 for a lunch special at a Chinese restaurant is ridiculous.

I had an extremely unpleasant experience at this restaurant today. I have ordered from this location numerous times for lunch before, today I ordered Hunan shrimp combination & a side of plain lo mein. After returning to work and eating my food, as soon as I opened the container and reeked of what smelled like dirty toilet water, and after tasting it it had the same taste as the smell. I had a couple coworkers try the Hunan shrimp dish and all said the same. After not being able to deal with the smell and taste I called and requested to bring it back. The lady that answered said I could have it remade or order something else. She then handed over the phone to a gentleman who immediately said “bring it back” and I had to ask about my options and he stated only he would give the money back. That was fine I headed to the restaurant already knowing I would be dealing with an upset employee based off his demanding tone on the phone. I entered the restaurant the man I spoke to approached me and asked for the food, and I asked for my money which he said he’d give me after giving my food. I was not okay with this I showed him the food which was barely touched and asked for my money please. After getting my money I left and noticed that he had followed me out and threw what I ordered into the trash outside and then shook his head / rolled his eyes and reentered the restaurant. I haven’t really dealt with a situation where a restaurant didn’t want someone to have food that tasted like it should’ve but I will not return here again, would give it no stars if I could for this experience. Proceed with caution with the food from this place.

I ordered from Grubhub and they forgot to put my fried wontons in the bag for the driver. I called up to let them know and they delivered them immediately. Great service and always my go to Chinese food take out in the area.

This is our go to place. We mostly carry out . Food is full of flavor.Love their Chicken Corn Soup. Lomein is my all time favorite. I usually order Sesame Chicken . Nice portion . For Friday evening take out this is the best place to eat dinner.

Website has no description of the items, went by item name "Hose Special Thin Egg Noodles", loaded all kinds of meat in there.Called back to raise the concern, very rude response.Never going back again.

I have only ever written positive reviews, so this is my first exception. DO NOT order the shrimp with lobster sauce. Made with canned mushrooms, frozen peas and corn in a soupy mess. Certainly not worth $16.45.
