You don't come for atmosphere. You come for take out. And it's likely the best Chinese you've ever had. Not too sweet, not too salty. Ultra fresh. Authentic.
I can be a very picky eater when it comes to Chinese food. I love general tso, but few places make it right. The sauce is flavorful with a very mild kick to it. A kick, I have never tasted before but was always told it's supposed to be there if the sauce was made right. The chicken was cooked just the way I like it. Soft on the inside with a bit of a crisp on the outside.
I loved this place when Sunny was there but sadly it has gone downhill. I ordered shrimp toast that was mushy and cooked with very old oil. The chicken lacked taste. What a shame.
Definitely worth five stars!!! Don’t know why people giving one stars, but trust me, worth to try. Foods are delicious, the same as Chinese foods I had from china. Also the workers are very nice and friendly. Thanks for the meal, I enjoyed!!! Will definitely visit again in the future!
Good, fast and cheap! That's hard to beat. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. I've had the Kung Pao chicken, fried wontons, and egg rolls. All were delivered hot and on time.
