Ordered there a few times, so far the flavor is pretty good compare to other Chinese restaurants in the area
Simple, clean space with friendly, quick service and delicious food! I ordered the lemon chicken and I was very impressed with the lemon sauce. Half the time I order lemon chicken somewhere the sauce tastes almost as sweet as lemon pie filling (with a similar color). Here it was a lovely deep orange color and slightly sweet with a nice genuine lemon bite. Will definitely be coming back!
A lovely little place with fantastic food and even better service. Got greeted by a very lovely lady who made me feel welcomed and the whole staff worked hard and quickly to get my food out. Even when my friend came by to hang out and have lunch with me arrived, the lovely lady who helped me when I first came in brought over a plate and spare silverware for my friend and we truly loved our time here. Great prices and great portion sizes, will definitely come back here more and more. I got the General Tso's Chicken and a Combo App Platter while my friend got the Dragon and Phoenix.
The staff was friendly and had our order ready at the time they promised. The Mongolian beef and the chicken Mi fun noodles were excellent! We had a variety of dishes we ordered from orange chicken to chicken lo mein as well as kum Pao chicken and crab Rangoon. It was all good. Sorry no photos this time.
Ordered take out for delivery. Arrived within 30 minutes & all freshly cooked. Pork fried rice & lo mein come with meat cut finely/slivered just right. Chinese donuts are a must try! All appetizers whether fried or steamed are great. Lady that answers the phone is so nice and delivery driver is honest & reliable. This business is worth it!
