My go to spot for cheap and decent takeout Chinese food. Seems they may be under new management the past 6 months or so as I noticed a dip in the portion of food they would usually serve. English in def not their first language (sometimes difficult to communicate) , but that does not stop the friendly and polite service.

  • Danniel Kennedy

I am always extremely grateful when ordering here. The people who run this restaurant are very kind and generous. My spouse and I were ecstatic to see they were still open after the covid shutdown. The food is always abundant and tastes great. The service has always been oustanding for us. Thank you!

Ive been coming to this place when the previous owners (the best imo) were here. I miss them! This new lady is very rude!! I finally like the food again and the customer service sucks!! I truly miss the old owners…i used to tip ALL the time

  • Farid Safazadeh

Went to this place with my daughter the other day. One of the worst Chinese food we have ever tasted. Absolutely awful. The food tasted just like Buckley's Cough Syrup!!?? Anyways we barely could eat anything. And the lady who puts the food

  • Laura Milena Suarez

I was talking about bad food places and I suddenly remembered this place. I bought food here 4 months ago and I still gag when I recall what I ate there. The woman there is not kind at ALL. It's not easy for the people to understand her and

  • Ms. Smith

So I went to get 2 items with Curry Noodles. I picked Lemon Chicken as the first item and Garlic Ribs as the second item. Since I was going to share my meal with the kids. I asked if she could put the ribs in a separate container...she said

  • Colleen Lacey

Had to go to eye society. So my husband and 2 grandkids thought we get for dinner. Disgusting. My husband eats anything. He couldn't eat his ribs or chicken. My chicken hard as rock. Woman serving us rude and rushing us. We only one there.

  • Charles U.

This place is nasty. The food was stale and not fresh. The lady who attended to me was coughing and was serving me like a prison staff. I was disgusted before even eating. After having a spoon I couldn’t force myself to eat the food. I had

  • Belinda Hertel

Came to read if anyone experienced what I went through today. First no one at counter, waited 10 min to be served only to be sick on the food. I had rice, chicken mushroom, which had 2 peices on chicken in it, lemon chicken, garlic chicken

  • Michael Hamilton

Picked up my kids some lunch just after they opened...figured everything would be nice and fresh...possibly the worse Chinese food order Ive ever had...hardly any rice, and chicken balls that had to be left over from the night before, rock

  • gloria pelkey

This place is disgusting. Our company ordered lunch from here and it was terrible. The lo mein was just plain noodles nothing else so we didn't get that. The so called chicken balls consisted of a tiny piece of what resembled chicken and

  • Kate DeJonge

I used to love this place, I don't know what happened. The chicken balls were raw dough inside of a tough shell that I couldn't cut with a steak knife. There was a tiny ball of chicken in the middle, but I didn't eat it because it wasn't

  • Donald Bolton

Great food for the price and large portions, the lady that dishes out the food is super nice as well. Just visited today (Sept 30 2019) and there were different ppl working the counter. The man gave me at least 1/3 less than normal, as a

  • Mr

Never been disappointed with this place. The owner from a couple of years ago,I haven't seen her for a while now. We pray for her. Perhaps that is her her sister who has taken over. They do serve great portions and it is very good value.

  • A.C.G

The prices change every time I come by? I had two, two item combos. One with broccoli, curry noodles, and lemon chicken. The other combo with lo mein, broccoli and beef. I ordered a side of mushrooms WITH CHICKEN…There was absolutely NO

  • Tania Christie

The beef broccoli was slimy.. I went to return it, and the lady there was very reluctant, but returned my money. Only after she argued with me. I wouldn't have even bothered leaving a review but when i was walking out of the mall, she

I've always gotten from this place and it's always tasty! This time was NOT the case. The chicken balls- the breading is inedible and what ever the heck is inside (which I can only assume is bits of rubber) is also inedible. The curry

  • Jenn H

Chicken balls were basically just breading with a tiny piece of I don’t even know what part of chicken inside. Egg roll was stale and inedible. Fried rice was basically just rice and soy sauce. Woman working/serving the food not very

  • G*I* Jane

Absolutely disgusted with the quality of food, no meat, was all little bits of bread covered in dry gooey sauce, noodles so dry, these people have no idea the garbage they are serving!!! Do not encourage this take out... Just Gross!!

  • Leah Catherine Kocherry

Great food! Great portion size! Fresh and ready to go! I have been a regular customer for years and have always received excellent service. The staff provide prompt service and always keep the counter clean and

  • Stephanie Nuzzi

This place is great if you want to buy a fresh, quick and affordable meal. I've tried different Chinese food places but I find that some places the quality of the food can be a hit or a miss.

  • Ma San

I tried noodles and ribs, omg, no taste at all, just hope they made the food very clean. The lady right there was so rude. No one behind me and rushing for nothing. She is so rude.

  • Z Zh

Unbelievably large portion for a good price, everything is so tasty, would be better if they are available on Uber Eats cuz I’m lazy!

  • Mateo316 “Mateo”

Guy at the counter was really nice and wasn't picky with the servings. Great taste, good price and overall truly satisfying. More
