This is my third or fourth time eating here and every time I’m disappointed. I ordered the Kung pao shrimp spicy and all they gave was green pepper, onions and very few carrots and no nuts. Where are all the other vegetables?? My shrimp are all soft and mushy and it’s severely lacking flavor. Customer service is good tho but I won’t be eating here again.

This is my go-to Chinese take out in Bloomington. I especially love the eggplant with garlic sauce and pork. It doesn’t look like much on the outside, but the food is authentic and plentiful. I usually get 2-3 meals out of our order.

Very very friendly, the orange chicken, crab Rangoon, and chicken dumplings from our order were amazing. I would say if you are going to order some like Mongolian Beef, specify go light on the onion. It was like 2 onions and 2 oz of flank steak. They would have made another, but it’s a long drive, so they do have great customer service.

CASH ONLY! Amazing food, super fast. This quick counter service restaurant whips out great Americanized fare as well as a huge menu of authentic Chinese dishes. The food is all very good and reasonably priced. The help is fast and as friendly as you can expect at a counter. The dining room is small and simple, but it works. The cash-only policy is a pain so I dropped my rating by a star, but I actually love this place and plan to visit often.

This is easily the best Chinese restaurant in town! I’ve been looking for a delicious beef lo mein since moving to Indiana, so glad to have found it. We had a pretty big order for about 8 people and they were fast and the quality of the food didn’t suffer. Everything was delicious, definitely recommend the pork egg rolls and the chili chicken as well!

Not only do they have a large selection of authentic chinese food, but the service is above and beyond. This family owned business really goes the extra mile to show that they value each person as their customer. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face.

What a pleasant, amazing, and delicious meal! We had actually initially planned to go to the Chinese restaurant across the street but it was closed so we came here. They had an expansive menu so it was really nice to have so many options. They gave us huge portions and every dish tasted amazing. I am Taiwanese by the way and have had a lot of Taiwanese and Chinese food in my life. This is equivalent to Chinese homecooked food and made such a good meal! We especially loved the cabbage and green bean dishes. The chicken and soups were also really good. Yum
