    Orange chicken fries
    Sam S.

    The service was great and friendly. Their famous orange chicken fries were great, but they were more spicy mayo fries than orange chicken fries. Luckily I love spicy mayo. I think the orange chicken lacked a bit of flavor and wasn't as sweet as I would like, but maybe the spicy mayo overpowered it. It was crispy and texturally great. My order could have used some more green onions. They gave me a sample of their BBQ pork and it was great and juicy, but the fries alone were enough for 2-3 portions for me so I couldn't eat more. I'd come back for sure.

    Nice lil hole in the wall spot. The portions are huge, the vibes and service are immaculate. The food is delicious. Will be returning to try the orange chicken fries.

    We came here for the viral orange chicken and fries. We also ordered a combo B which comes with your choice of chow mein/fried rice/half-and-half. For the entrees, we got barbecue pork and onion chicken. The orange chicken and fries were cooked to order, and they tasted as expected. There was a nice sweet glaze covering the chicken and fries. The fries were crispy and covered with sprinkled cheese, green onion and aioli sauce. The order came piping hot and it was great. It hit the spot for us, and we were pretty excited. Watching the combo B getting made was awesome to see; they don't mess around with the portion size. I came with my wife, but it could have served another adult too. The combo B itself was your typical Chinese fast food. It's not the highest quality or the most healthy but for the quantity and the value, I was pretty satisfied. On a bonus note: the ladies taking our order were super nice and parking was easy. The seating inside was limited but we managed to get a seat when we went at 2 pm on Saturday.

    Famous, totally worth it, Orange chicken with fries.

    We were headed to the Forum, in Inglewood, for a concert. We needed food that we could pick up and take with us. We found this establishment and everyone agreed that it looked good. Private lot in a strip center. It was around 6pm, lots of parking. There was a small line and this place is tiny inside. The line moves quickly. My son had the teriyaki chicken with chow mein. My daughter had to get orange chicken with fries. I did the combo with bbq pork and jalapeño chicken. The portions are massive, the food remained hot, as we ate in the parking lot of the Forum. The orange chicken fries were really good. The sauce and red peppers had a nice kick. I think that was our whole groups favorite dish. Close behind was the bbq pork. Slightly charred exterior but still moist inside. The teriyaki chicken was really good too. Four of us ate and we took home probably half of everything, yes the portions are that big. The prices are beyond reasonable. I think we spend around $35. When we are in the area we will return.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I haven't been to this Chinese fast food restaurant for a while and they did not disappoint. They have new menu called orange chicken fries which seems to be very popular. While I was sitting I saw a lot of people ordering it. It is a must try dish. It was made to order and sauce was balanced. Also grabbed two item combo with onion chicken and spicy wings with chow mein. Portion was large, seems like double of PE. Taste is on par with other Chinese fast food places but their customer service win. This is my favorite Chinese fast food place and highly recommended.

    Combo B (orange chicken & beef & broccoli)
    Jeff L.

    This is exactly what you hope for with a one dollar sign Chinese place! The place does mostly takeout but they do have 3 tables if you want to eat here. Their menu is pretty concentrated but they are really good at what they make. The combo A plate ($9.49) is one item with chow mein and/or rice. Combo B ($11.49) is the same with 2 items & Combo C ($13.95) is 3 items. I got Orange chicken & beef & broccoli and it was really good. Girlfriend got Orange chicken and mushroom chicken and it all was really good. The guy in line bonus said the BBQ pork is really good & Id like to try that next time. Also note that they don't give water cups so either bring your own or plan on buying a bottle of water or a beverage. All-in-all this was a 5 star, one dollar sign experience - we will be back!

    The service was amazing! Their dining area was very clean and well kept. They were very kind and attended to everyone that they come into the restaurant in an effective manner. Is amazing and fresh. I ordered a combo b platter. Sesame balls and tempura shrimp. Best place to stop at if you're ever in the area

    Orange chicken is fabulous!

    So glad we found this restaurant!! The food is fresh and amazing. The servings are huge too

    Solidly 4 stars. Huge portions and tasty food but I wouldn't say's it's the best quality. The chicken to breading ratio is not great but still a great meal. Parking is easy and the service is quick. There are a few booths inside to sit at so this is perfect for a quick tasty lunch and portions are large enough to share

    Dmitrii D.

    That's the wok you are looking for. Like in "rush hour" movie! Their food is really great!

    Rice, chow main, orange chicken , mushroom  chicken, and cream cheese ragoons

    Seen this place on IG so thought I'd try. Portion was great for the Price , I got the three combo plate rice in chalmain , orange chicken , mushroom chicken and ragoons. Orange Chicken had absolutely no flavor Mushroom chicken was okay. The Rago's tasted only like cream cheese, no seasoning, nothing else, but they said there was imitation, crab meat, which I did not get. just overall, the food was not that great.

    Very personable and friendly staff! The server was always quick to let the customer know when a fresh batch was coming out. Good Chinese fast food. And their unique Orange chicken fries were delicious ! There are a few tables available if you want to eat there. We will definitely return again!

I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating.

Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

That was my first mistake -- they don't even serve mu shu pork. That one's on me for not checking the menu first. I ended up getting my kung pao chicken and settled for the Mongolian beef, and veggie egg rolls. The Mongolian beef I could definitely pass on. The kung pao chicken was good at first, but somehow lost its flavor as the meal went on. The egg rolls were just okay. Nice and crispy on the outside, but too mushy on the inside for my liking. I was also pretty surprised (and a lot sad) that they didn't have hot mustard. The tea was really good though! Service was fine. The server was attentive, just clearly busy keeping up with all the takeout orders coming through. Ambience is definitely on the lower side here, so don't come expecting a nicer Chinese restaurant. It leans more Santa Ana burger joint vibes. That said, everything felt clean and they were pumping out a ton of takeout orders while we were there, so clearly they're doing something right. Overall, it just didn't hit for me, and I don't see myself coming back.

The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well.

My wife and I got the tofu and rice which was the perfect amount of food and allowed us to get two desserts. We had asked the waiter about two add ons but he steered us away, saying it was too much food. Although he did suggest we add the duck fat rice (which is it's own add on) to the tofu. We really appreciated his guidance there. We left full but not uncomfortable. All the food was very good there were no misses, but the local fish with preserved mustard greens and the roasted strawberry dessert were two of the best things I have eaten in many many years.
