- "The sesame chicken and crab rangoons were excellent! The portions are very filling, and I generally eat a lot but couldn't finish the large-sized portion."
- "The beef chow fun was okay, very oily, and the noodles were very wide and stuck together. Note this is not a Szechuan or human restaurant, so I should have known not to order the Szechuan wontons. They were not hot & spicy, they were soggy and inedible."

Excellent sesame chicken and crab rangoons. Very filling, I generally eat a lot but could not finish the large-sized portion.
Note this is not a szechuan or human restaurant. As such, I should have known not to order the szechuan wontons. They were not hot & spicy, they were soggy and inedible. If you've ordered these wontons anywhere else, you'll know what I mean. The beef chow fun was okay, very oily, and the noodles were very wide and stuck together.
This place used to be decent food wise. Now they cheat their customers. I recently ordered vegetable fried rice, and it was literally yellow rice with a few onions, NO VEGETABLES! The food is tasteless and jyst plain bad! The service is HORRIBLE. The woman taking orders is rude, loud, and disrespectful to the customers. There are several Chinese restaurants 1 block radius. Go ANYWHERE but here!!
Worst Chinese food I've ever eaten in my life. We ordered chicken lo mein, vegetable fried rice, and soup. Everything went into the garbage. Order from anywhere else. Take my word for it.
The food is good and what you would expect from a New York Chinese delivery. Cheap, fast and reliable. However, the delivery drivers used by the restaurant consistently are the worst. Rude beyond measure to demand more tip in cash when they arrive. I pre tip and pay on the app and I will NOT be extorted for more money even after paying the delivery fee on top of my gratuity. This has happened on at least three separate occasions. Fix this issue and let customers enjoy the food.
