My husband and I called in an order. It was a terrible experience and worst option to pick to get food from. Most definitely over priced for the low quality of food it was. Ordered combination chow mein, dumplings, chicken wings, and vegetable fried rice. First off, the chow mein was disgusting and looked like slops in a container. No noodles at all!!! They gave a little bag of the crispy things that go in the soups for it. It tasted like it was frozen and heated back up. I could not eat it. It was disgusting and unappealing. The chicken wings tasted old with no flavor and like they were put in an air fryer to be heated back up. The dumplings were good sized. They tasted like a dumpling was supposed to, and with good sauce. They were the best thing out of it all. The vegetable rice was tol

This place used to be my go to spot for good Chinese food. In recent years, they have reduced the portion sizes by quite a bit and increased the prices. But, the quality of the food has become quite embarrassing. The Sesame chicken I just ordered looks worse than what I can make at home on my own. You cannot reduce portion size, remove things like soups and egg rolls from combo meals, increase cost, AND reduce quality and expect to stay in business. I will not be back again.

Pick up lunch for two for under $20. Main course + white rice. Very nice lunch with left overs for dinner. Very nice couple who owns the restaurant. Easy pick up. Large menu (see attached photo). Very tasty and unique blend of standard Chinese foods. Have no idea what is with the negative reviews. Will be returning in the future!

Ordered Mongolian beef and there was virtually no meat in it! What meat that was in definitely wasn’t steak. It was almost entirely onions and bambo shoots. Also the egg rolls I ordered were overcooked and dry. Won’t be ordering from there again.
