Really affordable and decent portions. My wife wasn't a fan of the orange chicken. It had plenty of sauce which is good but that's where the good stopped on that dish. The combo came with dumplings, which was her favorite part of the meal. The egg rolls had a lot of seasoning maybe a little too much cardamom. The crab rangoon were mild in flavor which is how I personally prefer them. The shrimp fried rice was probably the best part of the meal - great flavor and generous portion. Side note: the soup I ordered wasn't in the bag when I picked it up. That's not really a huge deal because it was only like a dollar which goes back to that affordability The whole meal is $20 for me and my wife. I wouldn't mind stopping by again but I wouldn't go out of my way.

Fresh food made to your order. A short wait time in the colorful restaurant, with complimentary iced tea and coffee offered. The food comes out hot. My first dish here was the House Special Chop Suey. Bok Choy and cabbage in a nicely flavored broth, with plenty generous sized pieces of sauteed chicken, pork and shrimp. Nothing was over cooked. The meat was tender and juicy, the vegetables had a fresh snap to them. Served with steamed rice for $6.95. The fried dumplings are delicious, as is the Szechuan Chicken. All portions are generously sized. We will try something else from the menu soon.

This is the spot. the best real vegetable in the fried rice the chop suey is almost as good as moms. If you like cream cheese and crab meat in your Rangoon you will not be disappointed and loved the egg rolls cannot wait to order again
