Worst Chinese I’ve ever had. Giving it an extra star since the service was good. Seriously BAD FOOD. The eggrolls are bland; it’s like they have one ingredient in them. The crab rangoons- I had to throw them out after one bite! They were….grainy and slimey… like they were made with tiny bits of dry cottage cheese. The general tso should be a safe bet but no. The sauce is plainly okay (though it is very thick and gooey and they give you far too much of it) but the chicken they use has a thick, rubbery layer of bread and the chicken itself is sparce and dry.

The food is good, but it’s pricey and for some reason every time I go in, the owner is very stand offish towards me. I see everyone else has had a pleasant experience, but I don’t receive the same treatment. I pay a lot of money for the food, in my opinion the least the owner can do is be friendly. The wife I’m assuming who works there is very nice though and makes me feel comfortable ordering food. I’ve only gone back because the food is delicious, but aside from that I think today was my last visit. Don’t need to feel like I’m constantly offending the owner when all I’m doing is trying to purchase food.

Lion City has been there for many years – and offers a unique homemade sauce on their BBQ ribs. They offer standard Chinese food.. See photos. I think they make the best wonton soup around. The staff that works there is very pleasant, and Ming the owner will go out of his way to make you happy. Food is good.

Good food, good prices, great service, and portions large enough to have left overs every time!! One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area!
