Orange chicken was a mistake & the rice just wasn’t hitting the spot. Not to mention where’s the veggies in the chicken fried rice? Would i get it again. No. But the eggroll was interesting. Wasn’t that bad. Also yeah drinks don’t come with your meal even if your order a *dinner* ..

This was once a great place to eat, but the just like all restaurants the prices have gone up and the quality of the food has gone down. I got food poison too. I have tried so hard since I have lived in the neighborhood for 20 year and knew the family before, now I don’t know anyone there and their services is terrible.

Let me get the summary out, you should definitely order from here, the food is great, inexpensive, and there are a wide variety of dishes.

I have been ordering from this place for years now and unfortunately 1 incident will completely stop me from ever spending money here. A roach in my chicken dinner! I’ve been giving this business money at least once a week for 7 years now but some things comes to and end and a roach in my food is a big one.

The dinner doesn’t come with a drink. Orange chicken was the worst I’ve had. Definitely has potential to be good but currently “No”. The price is too much for the portions. I’ve been to Chinese restaurants that have bigger portions and better tasting orange chicken at the same price.

I bought a mango smoothie with tapioca and it was beautifully fresh, you could taste the pulp and the tapioca remained soft with a bit of chewyness.

Really small portions and lunch specials for $10.00 i. Really don’t like how cheap they are with the white rice. You tell them you want white rice instead of fried rice and they replace with 2 scoops. Next time I will make my own chop suey at home. Also the flavor of cooking is below average.
