There’s Not Too Many Good Suburb Chinese Take-Out Restaurants. This One Is Actually Pretty Good As Far As Pricing && Taste. I Ordered The L-08 Sweet and Sour Chicken Lunch Special with My Rice Fried Spicy && the Sweet n’ Sour Sauce Placed On The Side. The Portions Are A Good Size For All (Chicken, Rice, && Sauce). Everything Was Fresh n’ Hot. As Far As Customer Service, The Lady Who Answered My Call && Prepared My Order Upon Arrival Was Quiet Yet Pleasant. Everything In My Order Was Correct && Prepped The Way I Requested It. As For Atmosphere, It’s Very Clean && Quiet. You Can Only Here The Clicking n’ Clacking of The Pots && Pans. There is Only Seating Available To Wait For Your Food && No Options To Dine In. Which Is Okay Because I’d Still Order From Here Again.

This is a unique Chinese carry out restaurant. They typically have large portions and are quick to prepare your meal. I used to sell at an indoor flea market, and one of the vendors told me about this place. I used to go here every weekend to get dinner on the way home. This visit, I got shrimp and lobster sauce for lunch, and it was good. Most of the time the meals are really decent. There are some consistency issues depending on who cooks, but I still recommend trying them out. They have larger portions for the lunch deals than most Chinese restaurants. They also have a decent sized menu.

Terrible, terrible, terrible! The sesame chicken was hard as a brick each and every last piece of it! The rice had a burnt over cooked taste. And they gave me 2 sauces for all that food. I was very dissatisfied and threw it all away. 🤢🤢🤢 plus the little bit I did eat later made my stomach hurt.

I don’t like giving bad reviews but honest reviews are what I look for. I ordered the pad Thai with tofu for dinner. Only one size for dinner was the large. It was $12 which was a great price in the times we’re living in for the amount of food received. Upon entering the business, the employee at the front was less than friendly. I did arrive about 30 minutes before close, so I’m sure they were tired but there was no interaction at all. The food smelled yummy and was hot but was completely flavorless. These was absolutely nothing but a ton of noodles, a few small slices of tofu, a few slices of white onion, a few sprouts, a bit of crushed peanuts and 2 small lime slices. No other veggies at all (scallions, carrots, etc). I wasn’t expecting incredible but I would give the pad Thai a zero. The only reason for the 2 star review for the food is due to the price not being sky high.

First time ordering my friend picked up the order around 11:30 today 4/12 . I had the lunch Mongolian beef with chicken fried rice and the rice was not fried long enough to have the fried rice smoky flavor. Tasted like white rice with color- and as picture too much oil! Nasty! My friend had the chow mein and he tossed almost everything in garbage! Seems like they had a bad day or the cook was not in the mood!
