Best Chinese take out I have had anywhere. I’ve been ordering from this family owned business for decades. I haven’t been inside lately but I remember the inside being somewhat run down. Don’t come here for a date, or judge by it’s cover. Rather, come here for take out! You won’t be disappointed.

Always fresh. Takes a bit longer than most places because their aren’t as many workers and it is made fresh to order. It’s been in business a long time for a good reason.

This place was and has always been amazing. It’s sad to see that it’s closed. Would the owners be willing to provide some details why they closed and if they will ever reopen?

I ordered my food over the phone, the receptionist took down my number and told me that it would be ready in 20 minutes. I order spare rib combination and fried chicken combination. I sent my brother to go get my food. My brother got there and the receptionist stated they threw my food away because we took too long. Then they wanted me to wait so they can make the food again. An additional 20 mins. Then to get home and the food was horrible. Shrimp wasn’t cooked, and the rice was bland. My rib-lets were decent only because at this point I was starving. I have hear good things about this restaurant, and I told my friends there is no way this restaurant is better than the one on griffin rd. I was soo happy that they were there to taste the food them selves to see it clearly was trashed. I know I lost my 20 dollars but I made it my business to come write this review and let them know I will never go there again. I live near highland city. I rather drive all the way to griffin rd Shanghai to get my food.

We were so happy to go here. Really great food huge portions and good price. Ordered first through grub hub (first time doing it) never got our food. So we ordered again and went and got it. Not their fault our food was stolen by grub hub driver. So now will fight with grub hub for our money. But glad we gave restraunt a chance. More then happy with them. And they felt bad about our food being stolen.

I’ve never had a bad meal here before, until today!! First of all my order was not correct you can’t talk to no body you have to go on line to order, we had it delivered. The egg rolls tasted like they have sat all day so hard and dry, the chicken was not fresh tasted like processed meat. I received no receipt. Both meals were terrible. No sweet and sour sauce, i should of checked my order before the driver left!!

This was our first time eating here so our review is based on one experience. We both ordered the wonton soup, which was very unsavory. Very rarely will I not eat something I order. Neither of us liked it. The sesame chicken was mediocre at best. The Roasted pork in the chow mein might have had good flavor but there was so very little I couldn’t tell. It was mostly noodles, a little bit of veggies, and even less of the meat. I don’t think we will be going back.

Their food is EXCELLENT. But they need a better method for pick-up. My food might be ready, but I could be waiting behind 3 other cars who’s food isn’t ready yet. If they came up with a more efficient way for food pick-up, I’d easily be coming here much more often.

Pretty disappointed in this restaurant at this time! This is the only place we get our Chinese food take out. At this time (due to the Covid-19) when you call to place your order, you’re directed to order on line. In fact…. that’s the ONLY way to order. We’ll, their online prices are higher than their regular menu prices. When I had gone through and chose what we normally get.. the cost was DOUBLE! I refused and logged out. It’s VERY disappointing to be charged $60+ dollars for take out food. I find it VERY disappointing to price gouge people at a time like this! I’ll be looking for somewhere else to go.
