Great customer service, it was my first time eating here but I immediately noticed that this was a pivotal spot in the neighborhood the way that the cashier interacted with the customers like they were all life long friends. I got the beef chow ho fun with crab rangoons and everything was hot and fresh.

I went to get a lunch special after seeing a post about this place. I got the General Tso chicken w pork fried rice and also a wonton soup. I had half of the food for lunch since the portion is enough for 2 lunched and it was so good. Haven't had the wonton soup yet. It was very busy but I still did not wait long for my takeout order. And they charged me the lunch special price just as is listed on their menu. Will definitely be going back.

I give this one star so it will post. I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. First, a few months ago the owner denied a roach I found on the counter, and today, when I showed her the menu item I ordered, she lied staring me in the face about giving me what was listed. I always give a decent tip and will never return. Instead of roast pork fried rice she gave me soggy rice with brown gravy. Another restaurant would have made it right and offered a dish of rice."Beware of this dirty, place with awful food, and lying servers

Just subpar chinese take out that does the job when you are in the pinch. Nothing more , nothing less. Food orders take forever to get to you resulting in lukewarm temperature of the food. Too much starch in their signature sauces kind of ruin the meals sometimes. No other decent cheap take out chinese joint means that they don't have to try too hard to sustain themselves in a neighborhood filled with gourmet chinese food restaurants that charge you an arm and a leg for meals. Go if you just want a cheap and mediocre chinse food take out as they excel in that department.

I had a takeout Lunch Special, the Bourbon Chicken w/Pork Fried Rice and extra Hot & Sour Soup. The soup was very good. The chicken however has overcooked and stringy, as if they were trying to cook away the foulness of the chicken being old.it was a disgusting waste of $11 that I thought had given me food poisoning. I would steer clear of poultry here and just have the soup.
