I had to ask for water, I had to go up to the register twice to ask them to refill my water, I asked for hot tea, they charged my $3.95 for hot tea. wow, all chinese restaurants give you tea as part of your meal. Lunch menu was pretty skimpy for $12.95. I won't be returning anytime soon for terrible service and expensive water with a tea bag in it. Pork schezuan was mediocre, nothing to write home about. Seems like other tables were getting good service from the male waiter who appeared to be the chef. Perhaps they were new ownership, seemed like they were on a learning curve.

Though the food was hot and prepared right on time for our scheduled pickup, it was NOT good. The wings were OK, but both of our entrees had tough, leathery chicken, undercooked broccoli, and were totally flavorless.

Pork eggroll was soggy did not really taste fresh that way too much white rice with the shrimp and vegetables, 1/3 of the container with rice, barely any sauce and was also under seasoned. Paid a lot for four wings. Wings were about two dollars and change apiece and weren't really seasoned that well. I will say it was Chinese style fried chicken, but the taste was still lacking. I'm still on the search for good Chinese food in this area so far I've had no luck. I would go back even in a pinch. They also charge a dollar processing fee if you order online but you still have to pay at the store so I don't even know what the processing fee was for.

The restaurant is tucked away on 7th Avenue in Laurel. I had a hard time finding it because it looked like an apartment building complex.

I placed the order online and it was ready pretty much when I got there, which was within the pick up timeframe listed. I appreciated that they had an online ordering option, even if it was through Grubhub. The inside is rather small. I think there are two, maybe three very small plastic tables. However, it definitely seems like a spot where the same folks go regularly. Everyone inside seem to know each other, and they were all engaging in a nice conversation. The food itself was fine. I think it's about the same as any other carryout. The wonton soup I had was very basic and not my favorite. But they did include the crispy noodles for free. Also worth noting, their lunch special price of eight dollars or $8.50 was legit. And for the price, the portion was great. I definitely want to stop by in the future and maybe try something else.

I ordered the Rib Tips and Pork Fried Rice for pickup. Honestly, I was hesitant because Yum's has really gone down in quality over the last few years, but I was hungry and just wanted to grab something fast. I wouldn't say I completely regret getting it, but it definitely wasn't worth the extra calories. Let's start with the Pork Fried Rice. The one thing I'll give them credit for is that it wasn't greasy. But the lack of flavor completely messed it up. It was so bland that I actually had to bring it home, re-cook it in a pan, and add some garlic butter just to give it some life. The Spare Rib Tips were another miss. They gave me a really good amount of food, which I appreciated since I was hungry, but the meat was very chewy. It almost tasted like the tips were a bit old. I ate it because I was hungry, but this place consistently fails to meet the standards they used to have. Unfortunately, this is no longer a good takeout spot, and I definitely won't be going back.

We have been familiar with the area for years, as my father-in-law lived 3 minutes away, and recently we realized this was his go-to carryout. After 3 visits, I can say it's one of the best in the DMV, thanks to its flavor and food choices. You will find Japanese options like sushi, American-Chinese dishes like orange chicken, similar dishes, and Cantonese food like roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodle soups, and whole fish. They are family-owned and operated. Every time we come, the elder father is always gracious and provides excellent service. The restaurant is always quiet; you can hear conversations in the back, and as customers arrive to pick up their orders, we haven't witnessed any negative interactions. Customers are always happy with their food, and the staff say thank you. The only negative is the space. The building itself is older and outdated. In the summer, it is hot, and now in the winter, there is no heat. They have found ways to make it work, like space heaters on each table, but it can still get uncomfortable if you are dining in. The back area near the bathroom and the bathroom itself need a thorough cleaning. To me, it's a turnoff; it doesn't affect the food, but it does affect the dine-in experience. Again, overall, I love their food and believe it's a local gem worth a try.
