While the food is somewhat bland, it’s still quite good. We particularly enjoy the chicken and broccoli as well as the sesame chicken. I would rate it as a 4-star restaurant, but I'm giving it 5 stars because the other Chinese takeout options nearby are either not good or have no parking available. This has become our go-to spot for takeout recently.

We’ve dined there twice in the last month. Their General Tso Chicken is fantastic—we had that both times. However, their spicy beef options were quite disappointing and lacked any real heat. We tried Hunan Beef once and Szechuan Beef another time, and both were extremely bland. During our second visit, I specifically requested that they make my dish extra spicy since the first one was so tasteless. Unfortunately, that didn't improve things at all; it was still incredibly bland. I can handle only about half the spice level I could 20 years ago, and even then, this didn’t come close to what I used to enjoy. The beef was also tough and chewy rather than tender. If you decide to visit, I recommend sticking to their chicken dishes!
