    Came here on a Tuesday afternoon after the place I tired to go originally, was closed. We got sat right away and the inside was nice and quiet and empty but they say us right next to other people which I found weird as there was many many tables empty. We got two waters and a teapot at the table and we did not have to ask, they just gave it right away. We ordered the two special they had on the board out front being the sweet and sour chicken with kung pao chicken and pork fried rice for one plate. Then teriyaki chicken and pork fried rice with steamed broccoli and an orange for another plate. The sweet and sour chicken was good but the kung pao chicken had zero spice to it. When I say zero I mean zero. The kung pao chicken had a lot of veggies in it and maybe 10 small pieces of chicken. The rice was alright. The broccoli with the teriyaki chicken was cold, I asked if it was steamed because it was cold and the lady said it was steamed. The bathroom was alright as well but one of the toilets had a sign saying you have to forcefully pull up on the toilet flusher to make it go which I thought was weird. The people were nice but I don't think the pros outweighed the cons.

    Pork chow mein

    The explanation would be too long. This is the worst restaurant I've ever been to. Service is awful, waitress literally didn't know any of the menu items or anything about the food. When she brought our check and fortune cookies, she just ran over and dropped them on the floor and left. That's obviously not acceptable, doesn't matter if you're trying to go fast. Use your brain Food is awful. The pork chow mein advertised is falsely advertised by objective technicality. It is served as the subgum chow mein even though the other chow meins are normal chow meins. The owner is possibly the dumbest person I've had to talk to in my life. He doesn't get how they are falsely advertising the pork chow mein. They sell regular chow mein and we ordered a regular chow mein. And then they bring us a subgum without peas and onions (literal only difference which isn't relevant to the type of dish). And he isn't lying that that actually is their regular pork chow mein. But he fails to see how that is misleading considering the other similar chow meins are served regularly, AND YOU HAVE A SUBGUM OPTION ON THE MENU. So your low iq brain is serving a regular chow mein as subgum, while naming it as a regular chow mein? When your menu specifically indicates they're different and that you have those 2 different options DISTINCTLY NAMED FOR A REASON? Not surprising, after talking to the kid. He was more confused than we were. Hot and sour soup was thick like glue. Tasted weird too. Probably old and microwaved. Fried shrimp and sweet and sour chicken were extremely mediocre. Fried rice isn't actually fried rice, so that's also a scam. Fried rice is... well, fried. What we got was just white rice with soy sauce mixed into it. And then a random heap of dried out bbq pork. This place just takes advantage of locals who don't have better options and this was the first Chinese experience they ever have when they were kids. This place would shut down in any city that isn't secluded. I'd bet the owner more money than he'll ever make in his dirty hands' lives that he would not be able to succeed anywhere outside of that disgusting spot. If he opened up anywhere in or near a major city with other options, he would actually shut down within a year lmao

    This is the house plate: deep fried shrimp, egg roll, bbq pork. It's on the appetizer menu.

    This place is awesome! Best "Chinese" food I have had in a long time! The service was friendly, quick and knowledgeable. The environment is clean and open. The food is AMAZING. Fast, fresh, huge quantities, and prepared with quality ingredients. Can't say enough good stuff about our lunch experience.

    We stopped here on our way back to Seattle from Seaside, OR. It was a good break in Centralia. It was not overly busy when we arrived for lunch. Meals were around $12-$15. They had a few specials on the board and I opted for one of them which had chicken, veggies, and came with rice and also another portion of sweet and sour chicken. I misunderstood the special and thought I had to choose one chicken dish or the other - nope - I got both. In the photo is my meal in the back and my husband got all the fried yumminess in the front. I always get steamed rice. The portions were HUGE. Needless to say, we didn't go hungry. They also came out pretty fast. One of the coolest things is that they automatically bring you green tea kettle when you sit down. I love that. I was going to order some so it was a great surprise. In all the food was tasty and portions were big. The atmosphere itself isn't anything to write home about, a little old and outdated. However, for food alone I would return.
