They have a high volume of takeout orders, but they need to improve their time estimates. On my last two visits, they quoted me a wait time of 35 minutes, but it ended up taking over an hour.

Ample nuts are provided in the cashew dishes. As well, they take pride in their restaurant and are very friendly! They take such care to ensure the fried dishes are still crispy when you get home, making a whole in the box to let out steam so the food doesn’t soak up moisture and get limp. This is my new go-to in the south.

They don't have authentic chinese menu, since the population by the area is mostly caucasian, but the food I ordered were delicious and remind me of some restaurants in chinatown area! And the owner was super nice and she was even teaching my husband some cantonese which I struggled with!! Lol will definitely come back!

This tradition began over 30 years ago when the only restaurants open that night were Chinese. This year, we decided to try this location after hearing many positive reviews. The food was delicious and served quickly. The Ginger Beef was particularly outstanding, and all eight dishes we ordered were excellent. We’ll definitely be back!
