    Could I interest you in a rotten moldy squash or a random cheap appliance?
    Dave M.

    The place is rather off putting. The plants are all overgrown and lacking care. They're not really much of decorations, but plants that someone thought would look nice and got forgotten about, except for the occasional watering every few months. Next the entry and counter area seem to be makeshift storage, flea market, and staging area for trash. Need to buy a cheap impractical appliance like an off brand food chopper? There it is, sitting on the floor by the drink fridge. It's been there for years with the marker written price on it. Interested in some moldy squash or some sort of pumpkin? Just head on over to the table next to the menus Pick the one you like. Looking for a unique meal? Their specials are written right by the counter on a piece of some sort of liquid soaked (I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say mop juice) cardboard that's been there for ages. It's probably been the special for years. Must be very special. Now the food is another story. It's edible. But not great. The chicken I got was soggy and drowning in sauce. So much so that all of my other food was covered in it. It's really not worth it anymore. The one by the police station used to be my spot for years, then they sold and everything changed. Shing Jet has the same owner. Who always seems grumpy and condescending. Grow a personality instead of all those plants. Aside from him, something has changed. The food used to be decently ok. But now I don't think I'll be going back. It's just a turn off.

    I was craving Chinese food and decided to try something different from my usual spot. I found this…read moreplace on Yelp, read through the reviews, and it seemed like the locals really enjoyed it. They claim it's the best Chinese restaurant in the area, so I thought I'd give it a shot. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted promptly. I ordered the chicken wings and reached for my debit card, but it's cash only. Luckily, there's a bank next door, so I withdrew some money from the ATM. While waiting for my food, I noticed a steady stream of people coming and going. It took about fifteen minutes to get my wings, and I appreciate that they seem to cook their wings fresh. The wings were a good size, with five pieces on the plate. When I took a bite, I noticed the skin was crispy, and the seasoning was spot on. However, when I bit into the chicken, I could see the grease. The meat itself was tasty, but I wasn't a fan of the excess greasiness. The service was friendly, and despite how busy it was, it's clear that people really like the food here. I might pass on the chicken next time, or maybe I'll give them another shot on a different day.

    We stopped here for takeout after getting our tree from Jones. We are so happy to have finally…read morefound a good Chinese spot. We live in Woodbridge, but would gladly make the drive when the want for Chinese takeout hits! We had the general chicken, chicken and broccoli platter, egg drop soup and crab Rangoon. Our on "complaints" were I wish the Rangoon came with sweet and sour dipping sauce and my husband wishes the chunks of his general chicken were smaller. Flavor was great on everything, portions are generous and it travelled well on the drive home! It was also impeccably clean in the restaurant which is always a plus.

    Best Chinese take out in the Valley! Never had a bad dinner from them .. Always quick and fresh.read more

    The food I've enjoyed all of these years is gone. I've heard rumblings that in the last year or…read moreso, they went downhill and now I've confirmed its true. I used to drive the 20+ min for my favorite American Chinese dish General Tso's Chicken. China sea always made it best. Well after a long day of work and gym I decided to take the drive. I was on a call outside and found it strange that there wasn't a steady flow of traffic in and out like there used to be. Went Inside, service wasn't warm and welcoming like it used to be. Got my food,drove home and ate without taking pics bcuz I knew I had gotten this dish so many times and previously posted pics. First observation was that it the rice looked different. It wasn't the fluffy light fried rice I was used to. It didn't taste good (to me) it had some kind of sauce, maybe soy(?)Incorporated. Yuck. And then the chicken... it was solid from overcooking, but not crispy and there were a lot of smaller bits and pieces, not the delicious chunks that I was used to. The sauce was just okay. Also got fried wontons. The filling was skimpy and they were definitely over fried. They were hard to eat and didn't dip well in the sauce. The sauce was yummy. A positive is that they now offer online ordering! But It really was a waste of $20. And if the food was a little off, I could understand because on occasion every restaurant/chef has a bad night ... but this was like I was eating at a totally different place than the 1 I've enjoyed since my teenage years.... I need the quality back...
