Customer Reviews
Visiting my daughter so I decided to try some local Chinese while she was at work. I called in my order. The lady was nice but never asked my name or number. Just said "ok bye" then hung up. I left to go pick it up immediately after hanging up and I'm only 5 mins away. The place is very small with a couple tables. There was 1 guy eating in there. The food was ready and waiting when I got there . It was placed in a box lid for me to carry out. I got the lunch portion of general tso with rice. Menu said it was with white rice, but the rice was orange. 2 pieces of tough broccoli. It was flavorless and seemed like it had been sitting out since they opened. I ordered at 11:45 am. I took 2 bites and tossed it. I opted for the egg drop soup which was verrrrry hot in temperature. It ac
Nice small place, clean, and well kept. They take your order at the counter and you are asked how spicy. Staff is friendly and food came out promptly. Food was delivered to my table steaming hot. Spice and flavors were excellent. Nice place to dine in or for takeout.
The service is very good and fast, the food is always hot and serving size is well rounded especially at the price point....that's why I wish I liked it better...the food looks good, but is very bland even when I ask for it extra spicy. I still stop here on occasion because the (lady) owner is very nice and is teaching her son to work (he took my order a few times) which I think is awesome and respectable!
It's always hit or miss here. But lately (the last 4 months or so) is been a miss every time. The food is usually pretty decent, but nothing to write home about. They cheat you on the protein. I shouldn't have to pay $10 for beef and broccoli that barely has any beef in it. It's this way with all the other dishes too.There are plenty of vegetables, hardly any meat. I don't think anyone has ever eaten inside there. To be honest, I'd be scared to. The dining room is destroyed. Delivery is done by grubhub, which marks it up 30% or so, and it's DEFINITELY not worth that. It's edible, but there are better options, and for what you get, you'd be better off going somewhere else.
Minus ten stars. I don't know where the good reviews come from. This is the most abominable Chinese food I have ever seen, much less tried to eat. I left my food uneaten because I was afraid to eat it. Eggroll tasted like the fry oil was old. Not sure about the yellow rice; it was neither steamed nor fried. The broccoli tasted old, and the meat was semi safe because it was fried, but still questionable. You have no choice in beverage; cannot even buy a soda, they just give you bottled water. The place is filthy! The cooler door has so many finger smudges on it that it is literally greasy. The man who took my card and made my food had dirty nails and his hands were so dirty and nasty that I had to clean my debit card when I got home. The place has not been deep cleaned in ages. I don't how
