Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, and Broccoli beef were all ok. Panda Express quality tbh. The “fried rice” is ridiculously underwhelming. It looks like Mexican rice with like 2-4 peas and carrots in it. No egg, or meat in it. Egg rolls are also pretty underwhelming. They taste like your average freezer egg rolls that you make in the oven. Didn’t even come with sweet and sour. At the prices the entrees are at, probably won’t eat again.

Had food delivered to work. It was still piping hot! Everything that was supposed to be crunchy was crunchy, etc. The flavors are pretty spot-on!

We ordered Chicken Egg Foo Yung, ohhhh, it was spot on! No variations of flavor from any other time! Absolutely delicious. Egg drop soup was amazing with the homemade crispy noodles. Hubby wasn’t over the moon with the hot and sour but he is ridiculously picky. I hope they never change how they make this dish as it’s fantastic, fresh omelette of egg and veggies with chicken morsels.

1st time at this location, picking up a to go order. Staff wouldn’t speak to me, didn’t ask my name, threw a bag of food at me and walked away. I asked for the name on the order to confirm it was for me, the woman glared at me and yelled to check the order. Confused, I again asked what was the name on the order she threw at me, and she screamed, CHECK THE ORDER!!!!! I said, ma’am, I’ve never been here before, I’m just picking up for door dash. She said nothing, just walked away glaring at me. Upon opening the plastic bag, there was a paper bag inside that did have a receipt, but it was not visible, and I was uncomfortable just opening an order and inspecting it to see if it was the one I was picking up. I will NEVER go back there again. I can’t even describe accurately how rude and awful the staff was. Avoid this place at all costs!!!!!

Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life!! They offered me the lunch special or full dinner order, I got the full dinner order. When it finally arrived an hour and 20 minutes later it looked like a small lunch special. I double checked and asked the guy if it was the dinner order and he said yes. That’s fine until I go to eat it and it tasted terrible, it’s like they didn’t know how to cook chicken or make an orange flavor. I added egg drop soup which was horrible also. Then add I payed $26 for this worst meal of my life. I’ve never felt so fooled.

The beef lo mein is good most of the time it’s only been on a few occasions were i recooked it myself and added my own seasoning but 8 out of 10 times it is on point. HOWEVER the last time I tried to do an order for carryout the lady on the phone quoted the price at $44 when i asked if that was the correct amount (since that was the same amount on doordash with a tip included!) She became rude and said “i dont know what their prices are” when explained why i asked since it’s usually cheaper to not use doordash and pick it up myself she got an attitude “yeah yeah i don’t care” so i asked if i could just cancel carryout and just have it delivered since it was the same amount she said ” yeah whatever” the bad service and high price is not worth it. Literally just picked up food in the place right nextdoor to them instead.

I would never eat at this restaurant if I were you! One time I saw a person digging in their nose as they was cooking the food. Now I am a GrubHub driver and I came to pick up an order and the lady in front with the head set and short hair was yelling at me, she wouldn’t even look me in my eyes. She was yelling at me, told me to quit bothering her! She treat me so disrespectful like I was not a human. This place is so disgusting and the people working here are very disgusting. I really believe they think they are above certain people of a certain ethnicity… Just an observation… SAD

The food is ok, my kids like it, but only order from here if you don’t mind rude people. I was so frustrated with the lady taking my order, she acted as if I was asking for free food. Good luck if you order from this place.

Lady on phone was very rude, I was told 40 minutes, it took an hour and 10 minutes, when I called back she seemed mad at “me”! Food was cold! First and last time ordering from here. Comc Book Guy on The Simpsons would say….”WORST CHINESE DELIVERY FOOD…EVER!”

Would give negative stars if I could. Chicken was so dry and overcooked I could not even stab it with a fork! The chicken was literally as hard as a rock. Do not waste your money. Crab ragoons weren’t even that good and I love me some ragoons!
