I always came here every week, have known the owner 12 yra.from their original on 87th and Dan Ryan However, my Cantonese fried shrimp were burnt and they refused to take them and make more. I went back and forth and then cancel my order. These people can take Black communities money but never want to address our concerns. I'm done 225 yr.customer and I have told all my hospital coworkers not to come here anymore.

This by far has to be some of the absolute worst food I’ve ever had. I ordered Black Pepper Steak, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Crab Rangoon. The Black Pepper Steak looked and tasted like it was cooked in ketchup. The shrimp in the shrimp fried rice looked as if the were precooked salad shrimp (honestly kinda looked like an Apple Jack cereal) and the rice was hard and flavorless. Can’t tell you all about the crab Rangoon because I gave up😒🙄😒

Do not get the orange chicken. It’s not real chicken it doesn’t taste like chicken as you can see it doesn’t look like chicken. I also got vegetable fried rice it was ok but I was expecting something different but it tastes good

Craptastic, greasy, re-heated food that isn't fresh & drowned in sauce hoping you won't notice. Breading 75%, actual meat/fish 25%.
