Placed an order online and will say absolutely disappointed with my order and service…read more Upon arrival the wait was short. I paid automatically with a credit card. Then my food is brought out but before I can leave I'm told that they made a mistake on line with pricing and I owe them $0.75 more which I did not care and gave them $.08 but I wonder if they owed me the $.75 if they would be so willing to give it back to me. Then the owner comes out and starts taking my food out. If you place an order $50 or more you get an appetizer for free. our previous visit they forgot it and we were told the next time when we place an order to remind them and they will give us one. So since this order was over $50, I got one appetizer for free plus the appetizer that they forgot about last time. The owner comes out and starts digging out the additional appetizer. You only get one you only get one. Which I nicely explained to her that they owed us two. Very unpleasant woman. But the disappointment comes when I get home and opened all of the containers. Mongolian beef was horrible. It's called Mongolian beef because it's supposed to have beef . The dish is 90% onion couple noodles throw in and a little bit of beef ....just horrible. Same thing with other two meals where you had majority of vegetables and no meats or shrimp. Very disappointed with the order. They are becoming hidden and miss restaurant. You never know if you're gonna get a good order or a crappy order like we got today.

In a region with plenty of options, this is the one that stands out. Simply put, it's the best Chinese in the area.

Our first time carryout here and we thought the food was pretty good & had good value: two egg…read morerolls, 2 entrees and a soup for $33 after tax. It's in the small details when they overstuffed our seafood fried rice container ($11), accommodated that I wanted it without soy sauce (I've been on a fried rice kick sans soy sauce lately - it's less sodium and I feel like I could taste ingredients better). I really enjoyed the seafood fried rice. It had calamari, imitation crab meat, shrimp, and onions. It was a perfect blend without too much salt or oil, and to top it of-- the rice was soft. I really dislike it when Asian restaurants make hard rice, or let the rice it too long because you can always tell when the rice is getting stale. My hubby was craving Garlic chicken ( small size for $8). We were quite hungry so we had already began eating before I realized I didn't take pictures of the rest of the food. By the time I took a photo the garlic chicken has already been half eaten. I liked that it had a little zing to it with chili peppers flakes, and has a little sweetness to it which goes perfectly on top of white rice. My favorite part of this dish is that the chicken was moist and soft. I can't enjoy a dish when the chicken is overcooked as that makes the chicken really dry. They had the perfect big, fat eggrolls - two for $5.25. The homemade apricot sauce was on point -- 10 out of 10. Not too many place have great homemade eggroll sauce offered with eggrolls. And we're not talking about the sweet-and-sour sauce packets. Those are not the same thing! For us Chinese and Asians it's all about the sauce and my husband is super picky about it. That's how you tell it's legit eggrolls. He approves of this sauce. We only wish that they gave us two servings of it versus one because I quickly ate 2/3 of the small sauce container for my eggroll and he wasn't too happy. Lastly, we had the hot and sour soup (large size $6). The ingredient were fine, but I have to say it was too salty and missed a mark on the sour. Finding the right balance makes the sauce for me. I judge a lot of places by their soups. This one was close but I have to take off a star for that. Overall, this was a satisfying meal and it didn't break the bank. We will be back to try more dishes. I saw that on their menu, they have seafood boil, and I'll be interested in checking that out in the future. I also need to remember to take more pictures of food before my hunger sets in.

My mom and I come here quite literally all the time. Strongpoints? Dining in for lunch is AMAZING. You get VERY large portions, it's sometimes hard to finish it all! It also comes at a wonderfully cheap price. I'm a huge fan of Chinese food and I even work at a competing Chinese restaurant nearby. However, their Wonton Soup is to freakin' die for...incredible and packed with tons of Chinese vegetables and wontons! In the summer, I constantly get their Strawberry Banana smoothies with tapioca. I wish they would offer us a deal because we're such loyal customers, but regardless, we will continue to come here for as long as we're living in the area! Love this place! read more
