The food has always been good; delivery was always decent; the few times we've gone in the service was nice. However, their ordering system is dumb. That's it. That's why. I've had a profile with them for 2yrs, but I had to change my number b/c of spam & their system is so archaic I can't update my profile. I tried creating a new profile, but their system won't let me because my email is already stored under my old number. How ignorant a reason is that to lose a customer. Blows my mind that that's a reason to cut a customer loose... but it is. I even called to ask about ordering & was told go to other restaurant. 2 yrs of good food from my favorite Chinese place to sh* because of bad tech & they don't care. Wth?

Also, the fried rice is a very yellow color, not what I am used to and it is dry and lacks flavor. My husband seems to like the place, though. We haven't eaten inside the restaurant, but it seems dated and in need of deep cleaning. The service seems fine, but communication can be difficult due to a language barrier. Overall, this place is average and I am seeking an alternative for Chinese cuisine.

It truly is the perfect takeout spot and hole in the wall restaurant hidden in the corner of a strip mall in a grocery store parking lot. Unfamiliar with a Chinese takeout spot in the area, and having heard the recommendations from the people closest to me, I decided to give it a go. I order the black pepper chicken with lo mein noodles and an egg roll. It's not a combination that's directly available on the website (unable to choose lo mein noodles in lieu of fried rice) but it is available if you put it in the special notes section on the checkout page before submitting. I haven't had takeout in a while but this was incredible. The chicken was seasoned perfectly, and crispy on the outside while still being juicy on the inside. I don't order lo mein often due to have being burned before by takeout spots either from lacking flavor, or being undercooked. These noodles were everything needed for a redemption in my eyes. The egg roll was shockingly large while still being a quality roll. They give you a handful of different sauce packets in the bag with your meal which I would usually gravitate towards as egg rolls can be a bit dry but I found myself not needing anything extra. I will say this place gets bonus points for putting their food in these recyclable(?) non styrofoam containers. A lot more sturdy, a nicer feel and no weird grating sound when your fork hits the bottom of the container grabbing the last couple pieces of chicken. There's no option to eat inside the restaurant, which is fine as it's a takeout restaurant, but just as a heads up for anyone looking for that. Service was quick and easy, able to get in, get the food and head out within a couple minutes.

Once seated, we were able to order quickly getting the Happy Family, Atlanta Roll, and Alaska Roll, miso soup. They were all good!

Then another server came and asked if we wanted different drinks instead of water. We declined. The first server came back again so we ordered our Appetizers. We both decided on soup. My husband had Lemongrass and chicken and I had the coconut chicken with mushrooms. Yet another server came to take our Entree order. The soup arrived and it was very hot and tasty.
