Chinese Take Out Restaurant. Low priced lunch options. I ordered the Curry Chicken with Fried Rice and an Egg Roll. It was okay, but nothing special. The fried rice was so mushy, wet, and overcooked. The chicken quality was questionable and appeared ultra processed. The egg roll was small and very dry.

It’s been a while, but I’ve eaten here before (pre covid) and the food appears to just as good as I remember and smells Delicious. As I post this I’m still waiting for my order so if I find some thing exceptional +/- I may edit this, otherwise it’s a nice lil neighborhood place with good quality and reasonable prices.

Brad Weyeneth
Have been a customer for over 10 yrs. No more. The prices are now up over 60% and don’t make sense. 2 large meals and 1 order of crab rangoon for $45. Nope. The beef was fatty, curry had weak flavor, and the rice was mushy and overcooked. Save yourself the disappointment and the cash and get anything else.

This place has some of the BEST fried rice I’ve ever had. The beef actually looks and tastes like REAL beef…not some mystery meat. I love it. They never have an issue making my rice just to my liking.

I don’t know why this place only has 3.7 stars?? I’m a truck driver, they delivered to the Loves truck stop, the food was great, the portions were HUGE especially for the Luncheon Special & the delivery was fast!! What more can you ask for…

This is what I ordered. It’s supposed to be chicken fried rice, but the chicken is almost non-existent. For $8 I could get a more substantial meal at subway.

Overpriced and pork in combination fried rice tasted disgusting. Vegetables looked like they were frozen not fresh
