The food is okay for Chinese takeout. It’s fresh and hot, but feels like there’s too much msg. The service is okay. They assumed I wanted a large and charged me for that instead of a small, when it would’ve been nice if they asked. The atmosphere is really poor. Feels run down and dirty. I’d get it again for takeout if I’m in a hurry, but otherwise wouldn’t go out of my way.

I got a large shrimp fried rice and small chow mein. The large is pretty big. Big enough for a family of 3 the small is perfect for two people or just one with lots of left overs. I asked for spicy fried rice and idk maybe they heard me wrong. I did not get spicy rice but it was still great. I loved the chow mein. Three stars for the rice not being spicy and that’s what I had a taste for

Got takeout for lunch and was very impressed. I ordered the sesame chicken combo plate that came with an egg roll (not the most flavorful but nice and fresh) and pork fried rice. The fried rice was a pleasant surprise and the chicken had plenty of delicious sauce. All this for about $11 (incl. tax) made me a very happy customer! The woman working the register was not particularly friendly or anything, but I was in and out in probably 90 seconds.

I asked for extra chicken and barley got any chicken. I also asked for beef and they barley added any beef. My container was 95% rice and 5% protien. If you want a container full of rice then go here.

If I could give this place -100 stars – I would. Yesterday was my first time visiting this horrible place of a restaurant. First, the lady taking orders was rude, short and very unprofessional. She gave me a total of $11.05 but then took two phone calls while charging my card. After looking at the receipt I saw that she charged me over $23 for the $11 meal I ordered. She then tried to argue with me, saying I was never charged and that she just gave me the wrong receipt. Not true, the text I instantly got from Chase showed she did charge me over $23. No apology or nothing. After receiving the food, the portion was wayyy smaller than the exaggerated reviews on Yelp. The fried rice was yellow NOT brown like real authentic Chinese restaurants. I really should have just went to Rainbow Garden in Urbana, they never disappoint. The fried rice was also hard and dry. The beef looked weird. Also, they DON’T have real sweet & sour sauce, they have duck sauce instead. This was my 1st and last time visiting this horrible place. Everything about this entire experience screamed “WORST CHINESE RESTURANT I’VE EVER VISITED.” save yourself the headache and disappointment and just go somewhere else!!!

Dry fried rice. They use box noodles for their noodle stir frys as in not fresh. Their main ingredient is oil. That’s what I taste despite the dish, and I am currently testing 5 completely different dishes. This is not a restaurant you want to eat at

Mediocre Fuzhou-style American Chinese food, with absolutely no customer service. (edit after two hours of eating takeout here – salty, msg aftertaste, consumed a huge amount of water but didn’t work)
