A very well run and inexpensive Chinese food restaurant, you can tell inside that the business has been running successfully for quite some time. We were greeted promptly, the food was prepared quickly, and the taste was easily at, or even above, the quality I was expecting. It really hit the spot and satisfied one of those out-of-nowhere cravings. The portions were generous and for under $30 I was able to provide 2 meals each for myself and my fiance.

I tried ordering here from DoorDash, and I was impressed with all of it! Orange chicken was perfectly spicy, crispy on the outside, and actual white meat!! Both the egg roll and spring roll are great, but I liked the egg roll best flavor-wise. Great portions, and would order here again for sure.

Food was f’n bland in my Gordon Ramsey voice. There is no flavor, no season, and burnt. I know they will have no intentions on providing a refund because I definitely don’t want a replacement meal.

The only restaurant which stays late and serves hot and delicious food and you can customize the food according to your spice level. The place might seem a bit down but it’s kinda nice, the management can improve a tad on cleanliness.

I ordered from them on doordash. All of the egg rolls were rock hard. I ordered 2 sesame chicken dinners the chicken was hard and overcooked as well. I called to see if we can just get a replacement and they literally said no and to contact doordash for a refund. How do you send out food like this and not even try and correct your error. Never again…

I’ve only had their delivery, but it’s always good. Consistently solid food and fast delivery. My go to place for Chinese delivery. Haven’t had a single bad experience. Highly recommend the beef lo mein and the fried dumplings.

I ordered DoorDash and originally I wanted the chow Mei fun but ordered the chow fun shrimp immediately I cancelled and reordered when I realized I made an error. My order comes and they still sent me the chow fun not chow mein because they want to save money when I had cancelled right away and had the shrimp chow mein fun . needed the chow mein fun shrimp noodles so just because I canceled and I went through the process of getting my money and I have to wait three days to get it back , they have the audacity after I spoke to the lady on the phone she told me that’s why she did it , to still send me the chow fun instead of my chow mein fun shrimp even when I canceled it and re-order the proper that one they knew that I would complain if I wanted to because they were just get their money that way so they would have to waste when they could just eat it or give it to someone else that’s how you know they’re Chinese their so cheap!

If I could rate this restaurant with 0 stars I would, but sadly that is not an option. I ordered from this restaurant through the GrubHub app for some Vegetable Chow Mein, and I was expecting to get a to-go box of crispy stir-fried egg noodles with vegetables just like the picture showed. It said that it comes with some rice and “crispy noodles” as advertised on the app. However, once I got my order from the driver my to-go box of “chow mein” was just a box of cooked vegetables, and the “crispy noodles” that came with the food were fried wonton strips. There was not a single stir-fried egg noodle in there, and I was questioning where it was. So after this event I decided to call up the restaurant to see what was going on. They could’ve messed up the order with someone else’s food, which is completely understandable. However, the receptionist lady picked up the phone and said that the order was 100% correct and that she bagged it herself. Their chow mein DOES NOT come with crispy egg noodles, and I was extremely confused with her explanation. She said that the fried wonton strips were the noodles that come with the dinner, and that chow mein is not supposed to come with egg noodles. I am sorry, but if you could search up a picture of chow mein on Google Images for me and look at what chow mein actually looks like, and tell me that it doesn’t have any noodles I would applaud you for your efforts. Nonetheless, I would say that at least tell your customers that a noodle dish you serve doesn’t actually have noodles in it, so that it clears up any further confusion once they get the order.

Rice has no taste. They must’ve given us old rice! It’s not even fried like I asked.
