While many rave about the delicious food and quick service, some caution about high salt levels in meals, primarily due to soy sauce.

WARNING TO CUSTOMERS: As mentioned in other reviews, your order does not include rice. I ordered chicken with vegetables and a small container of egg drop soup; both were tasty and decent for takeout—nothing too creative, but still enjoyable. I opted for delivery, and it arrived in about 40 minutes on a Monday evening. However, I was disappointed that my meal didn't come with rice, which is why I'm giving it one star less. If previous reviewers had paid closer attention, they might have commented on this as well. Overall, if you want rice, MAKE SURE TO ORDER IT SEPARATELY!

Absolutely amazing! After years of disappointing experiences, I usually avoid restaurants over 50 miles from the coast, but I'm so glad we took a chance on this one. I noticed other reviewers mentioned the cooked food, and when I saw the buffet, it all made sense. Fortunately, being vegetarian, we found plenty of delicious options outside the main menu. Everything was bursting with flavor and incredibly fresh. We will definitely come back!

Very good option. We have a ride overnight in a hotel. They had very generous portions of delicious food and even made a veggie dish for us that was not on the menu.

I always order the salt and pepper shakers. The food is consistently tasty, but the level of spiciness varies with every visit, depending on how generous they are. Overall, it's good!

Shockingly good. a life full of sad experiences has taught us that we warn over 50 miles from a coast of Chinese food, but we are glad that we have taken the chance. others mentioned that food is cooked to order, and when I saw the buffet, I understood. fortunately we are vegetarian, so outside the menu was the only one to go away. full taste, very fresh vegetables. will definitely stop.
