Customer Reviews
The 5 stars 🌟 is based on the quality alone this is my second visit because I feel they deserved another chance. The rice and shrimp were fresh and amazing, the boneless spareribs wonderfully tender and plentiful yes The eggroll was great quality. I wish it was fried a little longer. Now let’s get to the dining room. There’s not much seating, but overall large dining room. The windows could use a good cleaning, but it’s one of the only Chinese restaurants in this area, open late a little renovations can go along way to give it that spark. But I was very pleased with the quality of food this evening a must visit if you are in the area and craving a snack. This will hit the spot and make sure you request that everything be fresh and great customer service. The staff was absolutely top-notch. Happy eat’s to all.
Food was very bland for General Tsao chicken! Supposed to be spicy but fell severely short of the description. I gave it a try, learned a valuable lesson and will stay away from there. The other restaurant by Valu Home Center is so much better!
Ordered the Pu Pu platter for 2 because it is supposed to be a smorgasbord of appetizers. It didn't come with all the items they advertise on their menu. The fried food was oil logged like it had been refried multiple times. The slice of teriyaki beef was like a slice of beef jerky on a stick. Their fried rice has almost nothing for vegetables. This place used to be really good but the last several times I wasn't impressed. I won't be ordering from this place anymore. Maybe others have had better experiences, but as of late my opinion is this place fell off and the food and service just aren't the same to me.
Food was delicious, made quickly despite how busy they were.
They were very fast and efficient! Although it is a small building with little to no seating space, it's mainly all takeout. Fast food, and reasonably cheap prices! (Heavy man with accent on phone, but understandable.)
