**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag Experience**
Nestled in Barrow County, this restaurant has garnered a spectrum of responses from diners. While some praise its family-owned charm and delightful dishes like the hot and sour soup, others express dissatisfaction, citing inflated prices and inconsistent portion sizes. Reports of subpar quality—like fried chicken strips masquerading as sesame chicken—have also surfaced. A recurring theme highlights concerns over value, with patrons feeling that the quality doesn’t justify the cost. Once a favored dining spot, it appears that unless improvements are made, loyalty may wane as more diners opt for alternatives.

I had the absolute worst experience with Chinese food at this restaurant. The wonton soup was completely flavorless; I only found one solid wonton, while the others were just broken pieces. It was filled with unappetizing fish, chicken, and vegetables, which made it even worse. The lo mein tasted more like instant ramen, lacking any flavor and leaving a bad aftertaste. The fried rice was just as disappointing. I definitely do not recommend this place, and I will never return. It’s the worst Chinese food I’ve had in Georgia.
I've only ordered takeout from here before tonight. I got the General Chicken with white rice, and my wife ordered the same, each costing $10.50. We received two plates, one bowl of rice, and one plate of chicken. I was waiting to see if they would bring us another plate, but they didn’t. I thought maybe it was a family-style serving with smaller portions. However, I saw a man dining alone order the same meal and he received the same amount. I asked the server if our order was supposed to be for two, but she just shrugged and said, "I don't know, it's one meal," then walked away. When I got the bill, it was just for one serving, which left me feeling a bit confused and still somewhat hungry. The food was okay.
I used to visit this restaurant often a few years back because the food was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. Unfortunately, they have raised their prices to a level that is almost unaffordable for me now. I wish the best for the business, but I won't be going back.
AWFUL EXPERIENCE. The food was completely tasteless. I spent over $40 on dishes that nobody could even enjoy.
