ANYONE who writes a negative review about this place is either blind or stupid... You can literally SEE the food before you order it, before you pay, before you leave, before you eat it, before you write a review. I've been here 10+ times and it's always delicious, always a great value. Place is clean, workers are polite, and respectful. Give the place a shot, because it's worth it.

Big portions and decent food. However, everything deep fried is undercooked and has a distinct flavor of old burnt oil.

The food and service are outstanding. The restaurant is clean. Gender neutral bathroom for customers only. Love the 2 and 3 entree plates, it's an inexpensive way to get several choices, and the take home orders are large enough to share. They have two free parking spots in back for customers, three metered spots on the street for anyone, and a metered parking lot across the street, (50cents for 15 minutes). There's a garage behind the restaurant. I don't know if it's paid or free parking.

Delicious and they load you up with the portion size. I love coming here

Went for my first time tonight, very happy. Lady who fixed my order was very kind and patient as I got myself together after braving the cold weather, and trying find my glasses, haha. I got noodles, sesame chicken, and coconut shrimp. All of it was hot and tasted good. Menu seems like tradition Chinese-American restaurant favorites, and is very reasonably priced for the portions. I got enough food for 2 dinners, and spent less, before tip, than I do at most places for 1 meal. The dining area was very clean and cozy. Overall, I'm very glad I stopped in and will be back!

The woman that served me was very nice, friendly and accommodating. I got the bourbon chicken and it wasn’t on the menu but I showed her the picture from the Google business page and she got me together. Food was good and the portion was good.

Panda Express/Mall style Chinese takeout but with better flavor, better ingredients and larger portion sizes. Super nice employees who sometimes throw a sample of a different entree in your bag to encourage you to explore the menu. A 3 entree plate can easily feed two hungry people. Can't recommend this place enough.
