    Orange chicken, bbq pork and chow mein
    Jeff S.

    My wife and I visited again and we were hooked up . The food is delicious, the portions are plentiful, and the prices are very fair. The gal who helped us was super friendly and handled our order lickity split! Always fantastic and top notch quality. Do yourself a favor and visit! Never disappoints. 5 stars! Bravo

    This is where you order your food from their Hot tables where they bring fresh Entree's from their Kitchen in the back.

    It's a great local Family run Chinese Restaurant for takeout. They give you a lot of food for your Money. We can usually feed our Family of 4 with two regular Entree's depending on how hungry you are. It's not my all time favorite Chinese spot, but if you're looking to get theost for your money then it's a great place to know about. They are usually pretty quick about getting your Food ready even if there's a line, unless you order something they have to make fresh, then it can take a few extra minutes, but it's well worth the wait. It's a great quick Lunch or Dinner option I recommend trying.

    Located on Antelope & Newport Roads in the Ralph's shopping center, by Ross with plenty of parking. This is a fast-Chinese food restaurant where you pick your items at the counter, buffet style (which is what I was looking for). I'm surprised to see so many bad reviews, which makes no sense. I had their 2-item combo with 'BBQ Pork, Orange Chicken, Fried Rice, and Lo Mein'. Their BBQ Pork was very tender and the Orange Chicken was actual chunks of chicken which were not extremely battered and fried like the common recipe. The Lo Mein and Fried Rice were a bit bland for my taste, but they complemented the meat perfectly because they were so tasty, and delicious! Prices are very reasonable, and portions are big. Service was fast and efficient even though I went during busy hours this Saturday evening. There are a few tables inside and a couple of tables outdoors to enjoy your meal there. I had a great experience here and will definitely return to try other menu items.

    The box of three items is huge

    Cathay gives you a ton of food for $11.99! Actually, it's incredibly really. Large chucks of chicken, even larger pieces of BBQ Pork. The only reason this isn't a Five Star review is because the taste is missing something. It's not bland, just lacking in a signature taste. The flavor comes from the condiments. First, Five Stars for this family run business. They're very friendly and try very hard to remember you from previous visits. There are a few tables inside if you want to dine in, but this is basically a grab and go set up. We ordered two, three plate items last evening. We could have ordered just one, given the overly generous portions. Wow. Each styrofoam box seemed to weight three pounds each. That is not an exaggeration. They were huge! See photos. We will have leftovers for days to come. Get this, our tab including two egg rolls came to $31.78, including taxes!! Three and a Half Stars, rounded up to Four.

    This small take out restaurant has plenty of seating inside and out. Service was amazing. Staff was patient. He also gave heaping full of food. I got one 3 entree combo and one 2 entree combo. It was enough to feed 6 people. I got only orange chicken as that's the only thing we all can agree on to eat. The orange chicken was good. Server said it's better than Panda Express. I say its comparable to it.

    3 item combo

    Hubs and I split 3 item combo. Mushroom chicken, beef and broccoli, and kung pao chicken. Food to fill your belly, plenty of mediocre Chinese fast food that is. The kung pao was the worst of the three- sweet and not spicy and absolutely no resemblance to any kung pao I've ever had. Also ordered veggie and chicken egg rolls. Not good. Added a star for quantity but cannot recommend. These type of Chinese restaurants should really advertise as Chinese-inspired or better yet, Chinese uninspired.

    I was so disappointed in this Chinese food place that we ordered food from we got the three entrées re-ordered orange chicken, teriyaki chicken and beef broccoli and cream cheese wontons. The only thing that I really enjoyed eating here was the cream cheese wonton dips with the red sauce. The orange chicken was so Brady. They put way too much bread and I barely can taste the chicken. It tasted so bland. I did not like the sauce for this. The beef and the beef broccoli was super salty and I really did like the broccoli only. im so sad that it didnt turn out to be good! the lo mein had a weird aftertaste! i will order from a different chinese restaurant next time unfortunately.

    This is the best Chinese food place in town. The front lady is so friendly, and being very patient to introduce you the different food flavors. Great price, great taste. If you are looking for Chinese food in town, I recommend you try this place.

    I've ALWAYS had a great experience here…read more The food is DELICIOUS, service is very polite, and it's easy to come in and order to go. We've eaten in as well with no issue. The biggest thing to say is their Menifee location is far superior and the average rating of 3.5 stars feels under-rated and ridiculous. If they were closer (and a little cheaper) I'd be here every week. Honestly, I love the food here. I've had many different items and there is nothing I haven't liked. Recommendations: Crispy Hunan Beef - not spicy.

    Located on Haun and Newport Roads near Krispy Kreme doughnuts with plenty of parking. The…read morerestaurant is clean and organized, inside seating with a casual order-at-the-counter setup. As a huge Chinese food lover, I was disappointed by my meal. I tried the Beef Chow Mein and House Fried Rice. The chow mein was drenched in oil, and the beef had an unappealing, jiggling texture that tasted odd and leftovers looked strange the next day. The House Fried Rice contains BBQ pork, chicken, and shrimp. The ingredients aren't listed on the display menu, and since I don't eat shrimp, I couldn't eat my meal. (That's my fault for not asking ahead of time for ingredients). On the bright side, the iced Thai Tea with Boba was enjoyable. Service was decent; the 15-minute wait for takeout made sense since everything is prepared as you order. I really wanted to like it here, but this food is just not for me.
