First time getting takeout here, I ordered the steamed dumplings, they were crunchy instead of “steamed” and definitely won’t order them again, egg drop soup was okay but I wouldn’t order it again, pork egg roll was okay but I wouldn’t order it again, the fried rice had maybe half an egg, no vegetables, I would just get white rice next time, but the general tso’s chicken was delicious, all of this for $21.83. If I were to come back it would be for the general tso’s chicken only.

Small Chinese restaurant. No buffet. Just order and eat. No free water. I had to buy water bottles. The food was not bad at all for the size of the restaurant.

Small strip mall place that I’ve been going to for years. The food and service has been consistent for almost a decade. The lunch buffet is a staff-served one (you go up to the counter and say what you want each trip). Therefore it isn’t the fastest place, but normally isn’t a large backlog. Owners are friendly and remember their regulars. I’ll keep coming back!

The reviews were all so good I decided to try them out. This was unfortunately not good, I got the beef and broccoli and I just can’t even begin to describe the taste. Also, the owner was very standoffish.

Tiny restaurant. I ordered Kong Pao Chicken and it was solid overall. Dish was prepared fresh and hot and did not taste like a steamed or watered down dish. Nothing special about fried rice. Egg roll and crab rangoon were both tiny but they were crispy and on point. Overall, a great value for under $8 including tax. Lady at front was polite. Lunch buffet was not resumed yet.

The food had obviously been sitting out awhile. No Lo Mein or sea food. The server was nice but I dont think they speak much English beyond “thank you, come again”. I asked for a glass of water twice and never got one. I usually eat til I can’t, not the case with this restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend.

i got mongolian beef. There was no beef. I had particles of meat, i would need binoculars too see it. I would rather get meat of a dumpster and i would find more meat. It felt like eating the cripsy bits of breading at the bottom of a KFC bucket.

Arrived to an empty house. Clean. Asked for the orange chicken “meal.” She tried to immediately ring me up. I asked if it came with anything. She said “rice.” I asked for the fried rice then. Then I asked about egg rolls. She said “no”. I asked if I could have Rangoon. She said “yes”. I asked for a half order. She gave me the total price again. I asked if it at least came with a drink. She said “no”. Never offered me one either! It came to $11.61 total, for some chicken, 3 little pieces of broccoli, 3 rangoon, and some “fried” rice. I grabbed my water from the car… The food did arrive in about 2 minutes though. The chicken had no vegetables (or anything else) and was salty. The 3 pieces of broccoli were cooked ok, but salty. The rice had nothing in it all all, and was salty. The Rangoon had almost nothing inside, except a smidge of cream cheese; no onion or even crab, and they too were… salty. My water was decent though! With all the salt, it would have all preserved well, but I didn’t take the leftovers home, as I knew I would have to throw it all away later. I felt cheated of my money, and left felt wanting of more. They only gave me a single napkin and a fork too; no sticks or even a spoon. Get a burger or go to Panda down the road. There’s a reason this place is always empty.

Pretty sure I have food poisoning, literally 8 hours and have all the symptoms! I will never ever eat there again!! First & last time!!!! It’s expensive, no flavor, the tiny and few shrimp were rubbery, & no vegetables( like a strand of cabbage/broccoli). . I should have thrown it’s out, but I just figured the food was bland. My belly has severe pain and the other tmi symptoms are bad. Praying I don’t have to go to er for iv.
