Read reviews and didn’t know what to expect. Dude at counter was super nice, l got beef loo fried rice and it was good only ... because I’m starving. But in need of more soy sauce, dumplings bland but nothing soy sauce can’t fix. Read more
First time ordering from here. I could barely understand the man on the phone, he could not understand me either, he then put me... on hold and got a woman to translate my order for him. They said my delivery would be 45mins. I called back after 1 hour, justto check the ETA of my delivery. And the same man answered the phone and told me it would be another 45 mins for my deliverybecuase he forgot to send my order back becuase they got busy. I don't mind waiting for delivery up to 1hour. But 2 hours isridiculous ???? never ordering from here again. Read more
Decided to try something here and it was of good quality, the food was freshly made, good portions, standard price, the people... there are kind, although it might take a bit for your order to be ready depending on how busy it is. I didn't mind the waitbecause this seems to be a small family run establishment. I definitely recommend trying something off their more traditionalChinese inspired menu instead of the run of the mill American Chinese stuff. I feel it's much more interesting and at leastworth trying once if you didn't enjoy their standard menu items. Read more
Well! If you haven’t tried their dumplings, you are missing out! I have tried so many dumplings from far too much places, and... this place is the best!! The owners are very nice, they explained to me that their dumplings are made in house fresh; I had toorder a second plate ???????? Read more

Their Spicy Shrimp fried rice and Yang Chow fried was excellent ????????????????. Orange Chicken andMongolian Beef ... super flavorful ????????????????. Don’t underestimate this little hole-in-the-wall dive. They pack flavorand the price is right. Open late too! Bonus : locally owned by a super friendly family ???? Read more
Part of the reason I went were all the "1" reviews this place got, to see if it was really that bad. My experience was OK. I... picked up my food, and it took about five minutes to get my kung pao chicken. You should really like celery and green peppers,because that is about 90% of the meal. It tasted alright. I have to compare it to other Chinese restaurants in the area, though,and it is not as good as those. I found it amusing that the bathroom had a sign saying you needed a key to use it. And the ladyat the counter wasn't even the slightest bit friendly, like I was bothering her. Read more
*First order was bad, but the owner did make right and provide new food* Ordered takeout online around 11:45 pm. The order was... manually confirmed and said to be ready in 10 minutes. Not believing that I arrived at 12:15 and still had to wait almost 20more minutes. I'm thinking we'll at least it's fresh... I'm not sure anything was fresh...the chicken for both my General Tsoand my husband's Orange was so crunchy and tough I couldn't finish my food. The taste was good, but there were pieces I couldn'teven chew or cut with a fork and knife. The crab Rangoon was okay and my husband said his fried dumplings were alright but eventhose tasted like they had been sitting around for awhile. My son's scheszuan (spelling) shrimp tasted okay. But the shrimpstexture was...weird and not good... Overall. I would never order here again. Actually, I'm so mad that I spent over $60 andstill hungry, that I'm on my way to return over half the food we ordered. We will see how they handle it to see if I change myreview. *Update* The gentleman, I'm assuming owner, wanted nothing to do with helping us at first. He did offer $20 dollarrefund since some of the food was gone, but there was still two whole dishes left so he agreed to remake two of the chickendishes. Those two dishes came back much better and so I will change my review to 4 stars since the owner did remake two of thedishes and they were good. Read more
