I eat here six days a week. I buy a meal tablet for lunch at work Monday to Saturday, and the food is always good and never old. Fast service, decent prices and if you fill out the survey on the back of the receipt, you will receive a free Entree with the purchase of any meal.

I always have my orange chicken to eat before I buy the other store at the mall!

Three employees for lunch. Maybe 1/3 of the Entrée pans prepared, the rest empty. Sign in helpful on the counter, they have no forks or sticks. Three drinks. The new Covid normal.

This is the worst Chinese food I have ever had. The food seemed old and stale, and the egg rolls had a terrible smell. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

It's so sad that there's no need for people who want to work. This place had two people running. There was no way they could stop. It seemed like they tried hard! They didn't have several ducks or vegetables. I was in 'fast food' mode meant that I didn't have much time so that was a problem, although the staff worked hard. I'm going on because I love the Kung Pao chicken. Just don't have to be in a hurry.
