Mom and Pop Chinese Food Restaurant with some Thai offerings. Ordered Egg Drop Soup and Scallion Pancakes to start. Both were delicious. Mains were General Tao's Chicken and General Tao's Shrimp. Unfortunately, we were brought one wrong entrée, but when alerted, correction was made quickly. The General Tao's Shrimp was amazing, definitely will return for this.

This is one of my favorite Chinese spots. There is seating inside and when I’ve been there for lunch specials food always comes out perfectly hot! There’s not a lot of people who dine in. Again, mostly a carry out place. It’s always busy and when we order take out it’s usually 35-45 min wait, which is fine because we have planned to call earlier. Ive been dining at this restaurant since at least 2008. Really enjoy the general tso bean curd, egg drop soup, orange chicken, chicken and broccoli, and egg rolls!

Something to be said for doing the traditional dishes well above average. Hot and sour soup tangy and full of veggies. Sesame and teriyaki chicken top notch. Beef and broccoli and pork fried rice all you could ask for. Portions are ample, and service consistently cordial. Plenty of parking. Plenty of options. Just what a good neighborhood Chinese restaurant should provide. And leftovers for seconds, maybe even thirds

Great improvement recently. Tried this place after avoiding it for a long time and totally different. It's now my wife's favorite place and she especially loves their soups. The folks that run it are super nice and I'm pretty sure the more my wife shows up and chats the more generous they are with portions. I really like the local, family, non-chain vibe of the place.

I asked if General Tso Chicken could be made with no breading. She said sure. It was delicious! We also had Chicken and Broccoli and Chicken LoMein. The sweet and Sour soup was also exceptional. Everything tasted great! It was takeout. So we don't know about table service.
