Good, quick food for a good price. Staff is friendly. Their pork fried rice is really good and looks homemade instead of batch ordered and saturated in sauce like many other Chinese places.
Delicious food. This was the first time I ordered food from here. The general tso's chicken was delicious. The small pieces of chicken were the perfect size in a very tasty sauce. The house fried rice was tender and fresh. Singapore mei fun is one of my favorite dishes, and it was made perfectly.. also, this place makes delicious crab rangoon....super sweet cheese and crispy dough. lady who works there was very nice , super positive, and happy. I noticed that on the table were origami figurines, and she told me i could take one. Thank you for being kind. I highly recommend this place.
Good hot food. Tends to be over cooked sometimes. Friendly staff. Wonton soup is the Chinese penicillin for our family, does the job of killing a cold in its tracks, love it!!
Ordered to go Orange Beef, service was fast but took long enough to know they actually were cooking it. One order and there was A LOT there. Food tasted good and I would recommend it. Inside is nice and clean. Staff was nice and professional
I am new to the area and tried this place for the first time and let me just say this is my new favorite place of all! The food was amazing and the kitchen looked immaculate. What I loved most was the orange chicken was cut into bite sized pieces which made it so much easier to eat! And the fried rice was great too!
The food here is what I've come to expect from a non-specialized Chinese restaurant. The portions were big but lacking in flavor. There was a distinct lack of savoryness. Once upon a time, they used to provide in-house dining. However, ever since COVID, they only offer take-out. This, despite most places returning to the traditional restaurant model of service. It's hard to complain about the food when you're expectations are low. I don't necessarily blame this place for its lack of quality: there has been a general trend away from the traditional Americanized Chinese style of cuisine. In its place are more authentic flavors and styles. Not that I have anything against that. It's just that sometimes you want a good General Tzo's with some fried rice. An additional problem comes the cut of meats used because there's not enough cooking that will disguise the cheapest possible cut of beef or questionable chunk of chicken.
