When I arrived to pick up my order, it initially looked like the entrance was closed. I ordered the orange chicken lunch with pork fried rice and found it comparable to the offerings at China Style (Hunan) near Lake Zurich. The food was served hot and fresh, and the orange chicken had a genuine orange flavor instead of tasting like sugary syrup. The portion sizes were reasonable for the price, though I wouldn't mind paying a little more to go beyond the $10 credit card limit for the sake of convenience. I also recommend that they invest in better-quality plastic utensils. I chose the spicy pork fried rice, but it was milder than I expected. Nevertheless, it was still flavorful, and the side noodles made a fantastic complement to the orange chicken sauce.
