Awful food. My Szechuan Pork was almost entirely vegetables with very little meat in a watery sauce that didn't have much flavor. The wraps on the Crab Rangoon were chewy and tasted really bad. The young man who took my order at the counter was a little rude when I asked how big the servings were for the full vs the half. The older gentleman who bagged up my order was much nicer. It didn't take long for my order to be ready and the price would be great if the food was any good.

If you’re looking for your new hidden gem look no further. You’ll walk in and immediately feel at home. When you walk make sure to give the Buddha statue a little rub on the belly for good luck. Incredible food that I can’t complain about. Quick service, large portions, and great prices, this place truly can’t be beat. I recommend Tsing tsao to anyone and everyone and cannot stress enough how good this place is. I love you Mr Tsing tsao

We drive 15 minutes to come here for Chinese food because we love it. I especially love the sesame chicken, very flavorful! Takeout ready in only 15 minutes!

I ordered brocolli and chicken. It was the greatest brown sauce I ever had. Disgusting. I had to take the food out and put on a paper towel in order to eat it. Not very good.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jessie Barrett · Sep 2025

I'm really not one to ever leave a negative review, but was compelled to this time. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt but this was really disappointing. Got beef and mushrooms and Mongolian beef. The beef was the driest I have ever had. The mushrooms were clearly canned sliced mushrooms. The rice was dry and the wrapper on the crab Rangoon was so dry and tough. Over all nothing had much flavor. Do yourself a favor and order hyvee chinese. It tastes better than what we had tonight.
