ordered BBQ spare ribs, bone-in. That’s it — a very standard item.
What I received were extremely dry ribs with absolutely no BBQ sauce on them at all. Chinese BBQ spare ribs are always sauced. Dry or tender aside, the defining feature is the glaze. Without it, it’s simply not BBQ.
When I pointed this out, instead of offering a refund, remake, or even actual BBQ sauce, I was offered tomato ketchup as a substitute. Ketchup is not BBQ sauce, and suggesting it as an alternative shows a complete lack of understanding of the dish being served.
Mistakes happen. How they’re handled matters. This one wasn’t handled at all.
I won’t be returning, and I’d caution anyone ordering BBQ items here to lower their expectations significantly.
Good, fast, and delicious

Best shrimp fried rice!
This restaurant has staying power! Been around as long as I can remember. My folks first visited on a whim, stopping for a bite on one year on New Year's Eve. Ever since, they always reminisced about the wonderful experience they had trying a new place and making it a regular stop.
Fast forward many years and they still have great food, a diverse menu, nice people...and now easy online ordering (and delivery) too. Don't sleep on the Chef's Special Salt & Pepper Squid!

Food was fine but my spring rolls came with shrimp which is really scary if someone was allergic, considering it’s a vegetarian appetizer.

You don't go to takeout for ambience. Food for 5, the service was quick and the food was better than I expected. 5 minutes from the hotel

Food was really bad. The general tso’s chicken was dry, the fried rice and lo mein did not have any extra taste. Would not recommend.
The menu offers a wide range of dishes that cater to every palate, whether you’re craving classic favorites like General Tso’s Chicken or more adventurous flavors like Szechuan-style seafood. Each dish is expertly prepared with fresh ingredients and balanced seasoning, reflecting true culinary craftsmanship. The highlight of my visit was the general so chicken and the combination fried rice which were bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, making it great for sharing or taking some delicious leftovers home.
I love their combination fried rice and spring rolls! My to-go restaurant

This used to be our go-to restaurant for take out. A few weeks ago, I ordered the bang bang shrimp and found a bug in my food. I took it back and they only gave me a refund for the one item. We obviously had no desire to eat anything else after that. We won’t be back.
I ordered from this restaurant for this first time and I typically get Chicken broccoli and let me tell you it was DISGUSTING I took a bite of the Broccoli which tasted like FISH, I chewed on a piece of rubbery chicken and tossed my food in the trash. Currently my stomach is upset. Never will I order from here again.
Update I’m not sure last time I’ve been here, but I went back because I thought the food was good but today simple dish combination Thai fried rice should be just rice. Not not tasty not enough balance of meat and vegetable, no basil flavor just bland it doesn’t make me say thai at all Just bunch of rice back to what I enjoy it before.

Ordered pickup from here and we were both very happy with our food. I had the vegetable egg foo young which is definitely one of my go-tos at Chinese restaurants. I had at least two servings in my order as well!

2024 edit: cook or owner changed, now a lot of their food is from a bag or from frozen. Breaks my heart. I'll look for a new place next time :(
Previous review: Been working hard to find good Chinese food since I moved here. Finally found it with the hula inn
