me and my friend got two entrees with a couple sides. we were very impressed by the portion sizes and high quality ingredients. my beef mei fun had a lot of good tasting beef, carrots, bamboo shoots, lettuce and celery and mushrooms, all for $13. the singaporean chicken noodles has interesting flavor with a lot of chicken, bbq pork, carrots, mushroom celery and lettuce, all for $13. The crab rangoon is also VERY fresh and delicious, the accompanied sweet and sour sauce is also very delicious. We would definitely order from this place again and try the other menu options. The service is very kind, mom and pop shop, and they cook very fast in 10-20 minutes.

Ordered late because I had work. Few places offer combos at night and I love this place now because they offer a small meal for 10$. Amazing pricing Woman was friendly and smiled even though she was the only one on the line at the moment. I had just seen the other person go to the bathroom. Food is awesome.

I recently ordered from this restaurant, and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The sesame chicken I received was dry, stringy, and rubbery — not even close to the crispy, flavorful dish I was expecting. It was downright unpleasant. The beef in garlic sauce was no better, with a sour and tangy taste that didn’t belong, and the beef itself had a strange texture, almost like tofu. I called to give them feedback, and the response was baffling. The lady on the phone actually told me that the chicken was supposed to be dry and stringy? That explanation makes no sense! I’ve never heard of anyone wanting their chicken that way. Take your money elsewhere — this place is not it. Needless to say, I won’t be ordering from here again.

I’m giving it 1 star because they sent the correct order. Other than that, it’s been an unpleasant experience! The Sweet & Sour Chic were these little bits of chicken with a large amount of batter rolled into balls.The tiny chicken bits were very dry. The S& S sauce tasted like ketchup and salad dressing. It didn’t have any pineapple, cherries, peppers, or tomatoes! Nothing! Just really thick, nasty red sauce. The chic fried rice was bland. The color looked almost the same as the white rice! The chicken seemed like it was boiled and thrown in after the rice was cooked. Honestly, it didn’t even taste like chicken to me. The fried rice also had large pieces of uncooked white onion mixed in. The beef low mein was nasty and dry. The meat was like dried out flakes of crunchy meat. I didn’t realize what it was at first because it looked like a darker version of bran flakes! The vegetables that were mixed in were again, uncooked. The crab Rangoon was edible. Mostly cream cheese w onion but that’s not unusual. I can’t in good conscience tell anyone to go here. Everything I tried had that “fast food aftertaste” . I had to brush my teeth to get the oily taste and feel out of my mouth. I do not leave bad reviews because I know everyone has an “off day” and try not to judge but this was bad!! Myself and my family are feeling unwell at the moment! I hope it’s just because of how greasy everything was! I hope they see this and take some pride in their cooking because I don’t see this succeeding otherwise. *We ordered from the Third Lake China Chef
