Nice quiet place food portions are heavy big bang for your buck food tasted delicious recommend for a quick lazy bite to come here

I door dashed 2 wonton soups which came to $48. This afternoon I was eating my soup & this is what I found. The photo speaks for itself. Dont eat here, getting you & your family sick it isn't worth it.

The food was so good. Hot and fresh out the kitchen and I know that can be the difference but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Lady is nice not fluent but you can understand her. Place is well lit and was clean when I got there. It's official the plates are not less than 10 dollars anymore.

I got three items. Not sure why it only has 4 stars but the food is extremely tasty and they give you good portions.i will definitely be coming back & I definitely recommend this place the staff is really friendly lots of parking and the place is medium size.

Beef and broccoli, steamed white rice, chow mein, and orange chicken

Really good food! Although I've had better egg rolls they were 2 for $1 and the Orange chicken was awesome also the chow mien was pretty good I can't say personally for the beef and broccoli although my boyfriend looked pretty content (usually does when eating) Ide definitely come back hopefully with the same tasty goodness

Every time I've had this Chinese food, not only is the food delicious and fresh but you get a lot of it. For everyone talking crap about the lady in the reviews, she's actually awesome she hooks it up. We ordered our to go plates and I didn't order the potato chicken but I showed interest. And she gave me a free "small" side of it and it was a lot of food stuff in that small side container. Give this Chinese food place a chance!! It's good and they're awesome. Often times foreigners are mistaken for being rude, these workers are not rude read more

Worst experience ever!!!!! The Asian lady behind the counter had a horrible attitude. When taking our order she did not let us finish our sentence. Rushed us the whole time and had the nerve to raise her voice at us. Wished we would have walked out but our daughter was hungry. Will NEVER EVER COME BACK to this place. THE food was mediocre. The place can definitely use some cleaning and the business owner can definitely use some customer service classes. read more

I like the food it taste what you paid for really. Coconut shrimp taste really yummy! Down side that it's cold. Some parts of the food is cold but I'm use to eating cold food so I'm not bothered. But it's a simple warning only some parts just put in the microwave and it's done. It taste good chew chicken though but it taste what'd you expect. Boba taste like basic boba nothing to fancy. It's okay from what I've eaten. read more

Favorite Chinese Food Place Ever! The portions are huge so needless to say you can easily feed 2 people with 1 plate. Rice and chow mein are great, my favorite is the coconut shrimp & the Kung Pao Chicken. I also love the fact that they sell the fortune cookie & almond cookies in a baggie where you get about 10 cookies for a dollar. read more

The potato chicken selection is good as well as the jalapeño chicken. The rice is always moist (not dry like some places). The kung pao chicken is very good as is the shrimp.
