Honestly this is my favorite go to place there isnt much a wait time or anything. Their cheese wontons are amazing
our frugalness is going to cost you business.
I ordered the Pork Fried Rice. The rice was good, but the pork was terrible. It was all gristle and fat. I also ordered two egg rolls, they gave me half a container of sauce. It lasted 4 bites.
While I was waiting for the order I noticed a few things. For one, I would NEVER want to dine in. The thermostat was set at 80. There were only two tables in the big room. The only sound in the place was the cooking in back. No music or anything. Very uninviting.
There are other chinese take-out location in town
I was craving some steamed dumplings and we were in the area. The place is clean and there were a couple tables inside to dine.
I ordered a orange chicken dinner special with white rice and it came with an egg roll. Also ordered the steamed dumplings and an egg drop soup. The steamed dumplings only originally are served with soy sauce but there's a chili oil or dumpling sauce that I asked for. So good! The orange chicken wasn't spicy which I wish it had some spice but served with white rice and some steamed broccoli. The egg roll was crispy and so good. The egg drop soup was just broth and egg. I do prefer when it has some veggies in it but was still good.
Overall everything was great! We would definitely return next time I'm craving some delish dumplings!
The inside is pretty barren with remnants of COVID and limited seating but they have a steady stream of takeout. I hadn't been to this restaurant in probsbly over 10 years and decided to give it a try. Let me just say we've now done takeout at least 5x in two weeks. They have a great dinner special which includes rice a dish and an egg roll for an amazing price. Quantity is more than enough I can eat any leftovers for lunch. Food quality is excellent. No parts is parts with either chicken or beef dishes we've had so far. Favorites are cashew chicken, Mongolian beef and orange chicken. You can't go round with your meal here!
The ingredients are fresh and made to order!! The prices are very fair and the portions are large. The lunch includes a can soda or an egg roll at about $7.00, some slightly less, some slightly more depending on what you order (for example shrimp is more). All of the menu prices are better than expexted!!
I will say that the fried rice has chunks of onion. I love onion, but not used to having chunks of onion in my Chinese rice. But, I liked it! Just an FYI. My hubby doesn't like onions, so luckily he ordered brown rice (at NO extra charge!).
The owner is very eager to please. She is patient with her customers. The place is clean. The owner wiped down the table AND the chairs very thoroughly after a customer left.
This is a great option for healthy food at a cheap price!! They have a HUGE menu, probably a couple hundred different options! You will find something you love!! And it will be cooked with love and served with an almond cookie AND a fortune cookie!!
My family and I have been going here for a couple of years now and love it! It's your typical small, family owned Chinese place. No frills if you are trying to dine in, but we always do take out. Fast and friendly. The food is awesome!!! As someone who came from the East coast, it's hard to find places that make the food like back home, and this place does not disappoint! They actually know how to make fried rice and wonton soup. If you're from NY, you'll know what I mean! Always get a free 2 liter of soda when we order several items which is a nice gesture. And the gal at the counter always remembers us and what we like--not like a chain restaurant. Priced well. Good portions. Would give more stars if possible!!!
