They also noted a "Large meal with small rice" and that the "Rolls were too oily and greasy. Pink lemonade was slightly more watery." Their experience with customer service was highly negative, stating it was "horrible" because "they don’t let you know it’s cash only in advance," the phone call was rude ("just talking loud and hung up quickly"), there was "No atm in store," and they were skipped in line for requested utensils and napkins. They also described an older female staff member as "yelling all over the place, dizzy, rude and ghetto" and concluded they "Would not come back. Not worth the ignorance for mediocre food."

In contrast, another customer who hadn’t had Chinese takeout in a while reported a very positive experience, stating, "The food is amazingly good. The wings are crunchy and juicy. The shrimp roll has enough shrimp in it. Will order again next time."

Food was okay decent size shrimp and broccoli but other then that bland. Large meal with small rice. Rolls were too oily and greasy. Pink lemonade was slightly more watery. Customer service was horrible, they don’t let you know it’s cash only in advance. Called in advance just talking loud and hung up quickly. Expect that from most Chinese stores in Philly. No atm in store. Took people behind me as I’m waiting in line again to get utensils and napkins that I asked for in the first place, when I went to out to get cash and came back, which should automatically be given. I had a feeling to check my bag. Younger woman at the counter was quiet but the one behind the counter, an older woman, was just yelling all over the place, dizzy, rude and ghetto. Would not come back. Not worth the ignorance for mediocre food.

Haven’t had Chinese take out for quite a while. Decided to have some wings and shrimp roll today and I’m glad I’ve ordered from here. The food is amazingly good. The wings are crunchy and juicy. The shrimp roll has enough shrimp in it. Will order again next time.

I’ve been coming here for about 10 years now. It’s like the best Chinese take out in south Philly. No matter what time of the day you go they’re always busy. We love their fried chicken wings, sesame chicken, shrimp and broccoli. We used to go a lot more often before covid then we’ve notice since covid the prices went up like crazy. We used to be able to get 4 wings and fried rice platter for like $6 but about 2 months or so ago we went and paid $12.50 for 5 wings with no fried rice which is a bit steep. Their lunch special used to be like $6 now it went up by about 20-25% post covid and I’ve also notice the shrimps are much smaller in sizes. Flavor wise it’s still as good but I feel like if you going to charge more at least give me the same size shrimp. Don’t charge more and give less that’s just not right.
