    Sesame Chicken Lunch Meal.....
    Donna P.

    I had the Sesame Chicken Lunch Meal today. The sweet and tangy sauce with a hit of Heat from the Peppers was excellent.... The Fried Rice, Egg roll and Hot and Sour Soup was served hot and Very Good... I called in the order to pick up and it was ready in ten minutes... This is my favorite go to for Chinese Food...

    Mongolian chicken was great! Hot and sour soup was very good too. Prices just a tad high but lunch portion does include a small cup of soup and egg roll.

    Of all my years coming to this area, it never occur to me to try this restaurant out especially me liking Chinese food. I went on a Sunday afternoon which was a bad timing since everyone was coming from church and the place was already forming a line. All I really wanted was to place a to go order which you'll do that at the counter equal bar. My first impression is that I've never knew a normal Chinese restaurant would have a bar which is a first. The employee that took my order was nice and the price for a lunch special wasn't bad which you'll get a main course, fried rice, egg roll and a small hot and sour soup. Everything was good including the chicken with broccoli that had a tasty sauce on the dish and I would have prefer my fried rice to have more than just one scoop.

Once you walk in you will take a right inside and then go to be seated. The staff were all incredibly nice and checked on us multiple times. The food? Absolutely amazing.

The food was a 10/10 and is such an amazing place to get food. The lights And arrangement inside looked gorgeous and it was so clean inside.

I had zero problems with my server . I know she was told as they all were to do the silverware. Plus I have lived in Al my whole life. I know about our heat. No your place was too hot. Your food is good but your service for the most part blows. Also a guy server said something rude to me and then when I asked him what he said he said jk. It was not felt rude it was rude when I asked him to tell me again what he said he wouldn't tell me. I heard excuses . Sorry just because you have been in business a long time does not mean I have to support rudeness or a place that doesn't care about my business. **Also if you would go down through the reviews there is a common theme your service is lacking and has been for many, many years. ** Responsibility should be taken and not excuses I will not be in a hurry to come b and my money spends elsewhere. Your loss truly! Other places appreciate my business . Too bad

Closest Chinese takeout to my house, annotated menu to order on the phone, which in this romanticized scenario is a landline. Food is ready incredibly fast.

They were steady but there was still a table available for us to sit. The service was incredibly friendly and efficient. We both got the lunch sesame chicken with soup and added on an egg roll. The sodas are in bottles but not overpriced at $2.50 each. The total was $38 not including tip for two of us which, in 2026, is reasonable. I got the hot and sour soup and my husband got the egg drop. I didn't try his but he said it was wonderful but the hot and sour may have been the best I've ever had. It had just the right amount of kick, the mushrooms were big and fresh and perfectly cooked, and it was steaming hot! The egg roll was fantastic, and if you are a hot mustard fan definitely ask for a ramekin instead of the packet. It's super hot and made my nose run but the flavor was incredible. The sesame chicken had very light breading, was juicy, large in portion and piece size and all white meat. I think I managed one bite of fried rice before I was full but it was cooked perfectly. Some of the reviews complained about the lack of music playing or art on the walls but truly the friendly service more than makes up for it; I don't go out to eat to listen to their background music, anyway. We will make a point to come back any time we are in the area.

My moo goo gai pan had barely any chicken in it. There were huge chunks of vegetables and it was way too starchy. It was like they were trying to compensate for the lack of protein in it. I haven't ordered from them this year, but I did tonight. Listen the economy is rough for everyone but I paid $15 for this chicken and they used maybe 1/8 of a chicken breast in it. Not cool. Hate to leave the negative review, but I need to warn people that they're using filler food to complete the orders and charging more. What's not cool anywhere these days is paying more and getting way less than just a few years ago. All of us are working hard to earn money and it just feels so disappointing to not get what you pay for, especially when you're paying more than you used to. I don't know who to blame for this. If I wanted a carton of vegetables I would have eaten a frozen bag for $2.50 tonight.
