Regarding the food, one customer who "Ordered a spare rib tip combo" reported receiving "strange pieces of overly sweet meat WITH BONES IN IT," which they found "Inexcusable." They also mentioned "No menu online anywhere" and that their combo cost "$11 and change."

Adding to concerns about the environment, one reviewer noted, "Doesn't help that you need to retrieve your food through a plastic wall because they are in such a terrible neighborhood."

my mom I order shrimp and broccoli with chicken wings , which the lady said it was going be 17 dollars altogether. When went to pay for our platter she stated that we’re 17 a piece. Ridiculous I never ever pay that much for a platter. I will not be back. It is too heard out here to just be paying 17 dollars for one platter. Do not waste your time. Deport these people. Lady very nasty.

Disgusting hole in the wall that sells condoms and tobacco products next to hot food. All the signage inside has a noticeable grime and/or broken pieces to it. Ordered a spare rib tip combo and they gave me strange pieces of overly sweet meat WITH BONES IN IT. Inexcusable No menu online anywhere- my combo came out to $11 and change. Doesn't help that you need to retrieve your food through a plastic wall because they are in such a terrible neighborhood. The only plus is: they are open late

Late night Chinese takeout spot. Jah bless for being open @1am on a Sunday. Standard Chinese takeout, I got my go-to house special lo mein. Not the best but good and again at 1am I was thankful for it. Looks more like a convenience store/bodega in the hood. With bank style thick a$$ plexi, and every type of candy and cigar wraps behind it. The necessarily gruff cashier completes the vibe. No dine in, Cash only.

I edited my review because the place has made it on my NTR(Never to Return) list. I ordered five times, which I ordered the same thing(house specials fried rice. The first order was great, and the second-order chicken was rotten. The third order was good, and the last orders all rotten chicken. Please be careful with the food!

An outstanding variation of mapo tofu. Honestly it looks nothing like mapo tofu, but it’s delicious. The chef offered 3 different sauces and I picked spicy green. It’s not spicy to me, but tastes amazing. Front desk service was kind and helpful. I’ll definitely come back here again.
