Customer Reviews
This is a great old school place to get your chinease food, portions are really BIG and the food has lots of flavor, fried rice good, lo mein good, and egg rolls are nice and crispy. Is only for pick up and you will be wait around 15 to 20 minutes, sometimes line is big. I will give them a better rate, but their location is surrounded by lots of homeless and shady people.
This is what a hole in the wall looks like, but what comes out of that hole is as follows: Hot and Sour Soup was a 5 star ⭐️ yummy Shrimp Fried Rice was a 4 star ⭐️ yum Orange Chicken was a 3 star ⭐️, needs more orange zest to it. My buddy let me try the Jalapeño Chicken Wings.. wow a strong 5 star ⭐️ very delicious. Will definitely be back and try other items. Blink and you miss it driving by.
They have some of the best house rice around, the jalapeño chicken is OK they put too much red chili peppers 🌶️ so I recommend Tams for the chicken 🤫
This place is overpriced and terribly seasoned. The only thing I liked was the shrimp fried rice. The teriyaki chicken was like shaved pieces of chicken breast, but it tasted almost old or something. I don’t know it was weird. The orange chicken was puffed up pieces of breaded chicken literally probably 5% chicken up in there. Had it been a better ratio From chicken to breading, then the sauce wouldn’t have been half bad. The white rice was super dry and tasted old and finally the lo mein noodle Were extremely oily with good flavor way too much sauce. Oh, I almost forgot about the beef and broccoli. I couldn’t even take another bite. I tasted it once and I wanted to toss it out or give it to a dog. I can’t even explain the weird flavor that it has something like I’ve never tasted before and hopefully in my life never will We ordered three plates and we paid like $42 definitely not worth it had I known we would’ve pulled up to panda express since honestly he never disappoint! I am Including the pictures because the food actually looks good, but just like these girls on the Internet, don’t trust those pictures that you see!!! 😂😂😂
So this place is literally a hole in the wall! This place is priced right! Lunch dishes are $10 and come with your choice of entree fried rice egg roll and wonton. Dinner is about $14 they do charge .85¢ to use credit card. But the food is solid and since the first time I tried it I have been craving it! The sesame chicken is fire! 🔥 I have also tried the sweet n sour chicken also really good. My wife usually will not eat cheap Chinese because she says it's grey meat! She loves this place. The fried rice is very good! Oh and last thing is. This place is take out only there is no place to sit and eat. It is take away only! Also the wait is usually about 20 minutes or a little longer. But like most good things they are worth the wait especially for the price!!
