The quality and service have been uniform, so you know what to expect. I’m glad they’ve finally stepped up their game with the orange chicken since it's a crowd favorite. My personal favorite is the honey walnut shrimp, and I also enjoy the sesame honey glazed chicken. My wife particularly loves the Kung Pao chicken and fried rice. Honestly, it's a solid choice, especially since many Chinese restaurants have declined in quality since the pandemic. As a tip, I always ask for extra teriyaki sauce for the fried rice; you won't regret it. Oh, and by the way, this location has had the best chopsticks I've encountered so far!

I haven't been here in a while, but I was disappointed that I ordered the larger plate, which used to come with a third entree in a medium box. Now, they put it in a very small box. The price has increased, but the portion sizes have decreased. I wouldn't mind the higher price if the amount of food was the same as before. Unfortunately, I won't be ordering from this place again.

They informed us that the drive-thru actually closes at 9:30 PM instead of the usual 10 PM. I always thought they closed at 10, so it was quite surprising.

It?s the front end folks that I?m giving the review to. Their demeanor comes off as if I?m interrupting their conversation every time I?m here. They have their own conversations and ignore what I?m requesting.

We had to wait 30+ minutes for a meal for two (2 bowls) because they were so busy with the drive thru and the walk in. I know they're doing their best but they need to find a way to let customers know there could be a long wait for their food.Also their parking lot was poorly constructed and very tight and difficult to get in an out of.Other than that, everything is great.
