Not much to add to what has been shown in that it probably won't surprise you that i found these folks' food to be outstanding. Sunday evening, both the wife and i were burnt out from the day and didn't want to cook. Never have yet ordered Asian cooking in this area though we've been here since the end of January, so picking a place that was actually open was out first issue. Obviously yes, they were. So even though great ratings, we all have had to become skeptical of ratings as so many manipulate them by giving something for "free" for a good rating. No, the food was absolutely great! And given the hours having lawn machinery blaring in my ears, a very nice young man greeted me when i came in, explained that he just needed my name or phone number to locate my order and despite my havin

It was good!!! Good portions and great flavor!! I did ask for extra ducksauce and she snuck those mustard packets in the bag really fast like it was duck sauce lol... Smooth.. My doughnuts could have been better but I wasn't expecting the actual food to be that good. So they get a pass lol...

We’ve eaten here about 5 times now I think and I specifically waited to make my review until we had been a few times at least. The consistency of this place is on point, which is amazing because we’ve been trying to find a good take out place for a while now where we knew it would be good every time and this place has got it going on. Their food is amazing. This is the only place we go for Chinese food now and we even drive 40 minutes to get here it’s that good. We personally love the beef lo mein, beef and broccoli and the sesame chicken.

Food was literally inedible and nasty. We couldn’t even eat the orange chicken. It was a giant ball of fried dough that seemed really old and had a weird looking skin-like leather texture. So unappetising 🤢 The beef and onions had barely any meat, all onions. The sweat sour chicken was old and again mostly dough with barely any chicken. What we did eat made us sick. I don’t see how they put this food out and think it’s ok. Would’ve taken it back because it was that bad but we were tired and it’s a long drive. We definitely won’t be going back. We will try Jackie Chen in Churchland instead.

Edited... it’s been awhile and I’ve revisited this restaurant my friend requested I pick up food for her so I ordered the shrimp egg foo yong by phone , the woman that answered the last few times is pleasant and got my order correct. Due to Covid the restaurant is closed on the inside So now you pay at the door and you aren’t able to walk into the restaurant. My egg foo yong was delicious. It’s a little less than nine dollars but it comes with a box of rice a full bowl of shrimp egg and onion mix and then another bowl of gravy. I don’t know what they put in the gravy but it tastes amazing. I will retract my previous one star review because they’ve made up for the one bad experience I had.
