I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

I arrived when my order was quoted to be ready but there was only one guy at the counter on the phone taking an order for the first 5 minutes while I stood there and no one else came up to help. The establishment was empty -- but I think they do a lunch buffet which could be worth trying. The order was packaged well and was nice and hot and fresh when I got home. We ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, House Special Egg Foo Young, Beef Chow Mei Fun and cream cheese wontons. All was decent and I'd try this place again, maybe for delivery next time. The flavors were a little bland, but maybe upon switching up our order we could find something with a bit more flavor. For the price, I was satisfied.

There is no nicer word. Relatively certain the eggrolls, the chicken tenders, all of it comes frozen and is loudly prepared on a grill. Since you can't see it being cooked, all you can hear is the metal utensil clanging loudly against the grill. All of the sauce is store-bought, prepackaged, sugary, gelatinous slop.

This place is absolutely ass. Don't do it to yourself. I was starving when I ordered and the food still tasted terrible. Their menu items are supposed to be sweet & savory but its just sweet. Drenched with sweet and sour sauce. Over priced, small portion, and terrible food. People who work their look like they hate their job. Overall start to finish experience was extremely disappointing. Best thing there is probably the forks and chopsticks. read more

If you want a snack, come here. I had 107 loyalty visits to LeeAnn chin locations in past two years and I gotta say this location is the worse. Woman behind counter was trying so hard to spread as little rice around in the dish as she could (Because we all know Rice is like Gold). I needed to bring my plate to managers attention where he refilled the plate after weighing the dish and acknowledging the woman did a poor job. read more
