Customer Reviews
A humble but excellent local Chinese joint. You don't go here for the decor or the atmosphere. You go here for authentic flavors and a generous portion at a reasonable price. On those elements, this place absolutely delivers. Their lunch portion is approximately $10 and includes a huge portion of fried rice and an egg roll with whatever you ordered. Try the szechuan string bean chicken- it's excellent.
Delicious food and very generous portions! I got the chicken teriyaki with fried rice and the portion was enough for me to have three good meals. The woman working at the counter was also very kind. Will absolutely be back! Thank you!
I can’t really leave much of a review except for these photos of the menu because unfortunately I walked in, took these menu photos walked out due to an incredibly unappetizing smell. There are plenty of dish options including both Chinese and Thai cuisine. disclaimer: not sure if the bad smell was the restaurant itself or just someone standing nearby :( The cashier seemed friendly enough and I’m pretty certain there was only one cook in the back.
Remember the "No Soup For You" guy from Seinfeld? This is the Asian restaurant version of that. Decent food...but expect ZERO concessions, or exceptions, from the owner. If this is your first time, be prepared to order exactly what you think you will enjoy, or you may never come back. Walking into the establishment you will be greeted by an employee guarded by a saran-wrap forcefield covering the register counter. I'm all for PPE, but my goodness. I was thinking, "Am I ordering take-out, or walking into a seedy medical establishment?" Fortunately the food was good. I had the General's Tofu & Pineapple fried rice. The food seemed fresh, & the portion sizes were good. But it's a little pricey for take-out, at nearly $15 a dish. (And pass on the pan-fried noodles). When I had asked to substitute the meat egg rolls for veg egg rolls, I was denied & told it was late in the night (It was over an hour before the posted closing time). To my surprise, even the provided fortune cookie read , "No Egg-Rolls For You". Despite my belly being full, I cried myself to sleep.
Delicious food! The beef fried rice is my favorite. I always get the same thing, but this time they threw in a sample pot sticker for me to try. I thought that was very nice.
