The restaurant no longer does dine-in since COVID. The owner is very friendly and the food has always been good and flavorful. Prices are very reasonable for the area. We order from here weekly.Parking: Big parking lot and a gravel parking area. It shares parking with Deep run barbecue and Daddios Grille.

Ordered because they left it on the door of our apartment. I’ve ordered from other places so I know the general taste of takeout Chinese. When I say this place was mediocre, I mean it had no flavor at all. Like, it tastes of NOTHING. No salt, no spice, no real flavor of anything it was so weird. It wasn’t inherently bad, however the lack of flavor was astonishing to say the least.

My family has been getting takeout from here for years - it never disappoints! It's quick, the portions are generous, and the food is great!

Devon Ortiz

Been getting takeout from here for the last couple of years, and I can definitely say it's pretty good! The workers and owners are very kind, the food is great, and the prices are pretty fair, especially considering just how big the servings are!Absolutely recommend if you want some good Chinese takeaway

I rarely order food for delivery. I gave three stars because it wasn't gross but it also was not good. I will not order again.I ordered a family combo special which listed on the menu at $12.95 for delivery or take-out. They added $5 for delivery, plus a 20% tip. I got the Hunan chicken, a spring roll and wonton soup. The soup was fine, dumplings very good. The spring roll was disgusting and I threw it away. It was complete mush. I decided to try something I've never had, Hunan chicken. I would never order it again based on this experience. It had a chili pepper next to it, but it was SO bland. I'm sensitive to spice, so for me to say it was bland is an understatement. There was a lot of chicken which was not overcooked, broccoli, bamboo shoots, mushroom and carrots. The veggies were crunchy and fine. But the overall taste was just NOTHING.I don't eat rice, but it looked fine.So disappointing since I rarely eat out or get food for delivery. 80% went into trash.

Love the Dragon and Phoenix. Very consistent, orders are always ready on time.

Nasty dirty restaurant. I even saw the kitchen. Please do not eat here. Surprised they are not closed down.

KJ Slovak

Nasty, brown wonton soup? Wonton tasted sour.Fried rice was just plain and greasy dried up chicken and broccoli? Come on you expect customers. We didn't eat much before it went to garbage. Never again . Zero on food !
