Description

Located in a busy shopping center, this straightforward Chinese takeout is a neighborhood go-to—affordable, fast, and generous with fresh ingredients and comforting soups. Some dishes (notably General Tso’s) earn high praise, while others can be greasy, bland, or inconsistent. Service is usually quick but can be slow or error-prone, and the modest interior belies reliably satisfying portions that keep regulars coming back.

We just went here for the first time. I ordered my go to General Tao’s chicken, hoping that it was good here because sometimes it’s hit or miss. It was one of THE BEST General’s chicken I have ever had! The chicken was so tender and there was a lot of sauce which I love. My husband loved his meal as well. Service was great. Our new favorite Chinese food restaurant! We will be back. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Ordered the triple delight, there was nothing delightful about it. I could feel my arteries closing due to the amount of grease!!! It was more like a grease bowl. Even with putting the rice in to soak some of it up didn't serve it justice. The rice refused. First time and last also. Recommended NOT. Food: 1

Meals come with rice but the menu doesn't say that. For carry out they didn't give utensils, napkins or fortune cookies. Boo. They are also slow to prepare food. I waited 10 minutes past my pick up time as did the guy in front of me. Service: Takeaway Price per person: $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Not a great restaurant. I went in and ordered take out. They do not provide soy sauce or fortune cookies with your order. Also the food was way too sweet.
