Will always be my number #1 chinese spot when I come home because every state I've been to does not have anything that gives me quality besides Indianapolis, so it's a hole in the wall and extremely outdated but still going strong.

This place has been there for maybe 40 years and it shows. As I respect the fact the Asian family has operated in the hood, I think the residents and customers deserve decency regarding the experience. First, the food is just ok. Very bland. The quality has plummeted. The shrimp were those mini shrimps you see in shrimp salad. If it was just the food, I would rate it 3 stars. But the cleanliness and in store experience is just appalling. The store is absolutely filthy. I suppose at one point they dont even care, the residents will unfortunately still come. Lights were out. Ceiling fans malfunctioning during 95 degree weather. 1 1/2 chairs. Cash only. An old menu on the wall with dated prices from 10 years ago. Ridiculous

You know a restaurant is bad when you have to go out of your way to improve their recipes. This is your typical hood Chinese restaurant so expect cheap food at high volumes. As always I have to note that there's a reason these places can do this. They most likely buy old frozen meat on the verge of expiration or "technically expired on that day" for pennies with the intention of getting it out the door quickly. The interior I noted might seem clean, but there's noticeable cobwebs everywhere. It wouldn't be that hard to just vacuum the waiting area every once in awhile and I never understand the reason why these places almost never do it. At least there's plenty of chairs and even tables if someone wants to set them up and eat inside (although I somehow doubt they intend to let people eat inside so it may be a relic of the past.) I ordered my usual test of orange chicken lunch special. The cashier didn't say much and when they did I couldn't understand a word they said. They got my order out within 10 minutes. As I started making my way out some bum attempted to block the doorway and beg for money despite the obvious "No soliciting sign." I don't know who he thought he was trying to intimidate because he would've just ended up at Roseland Community Hospital across the street. Luckily he ended up making the right decision & backing off. Looks wise you can tell they fried the chicken extremely hard. They either overcooked it by accident or were intentionally trying to hide the taste of expired food. The end result were literal bricks of chicken that the meager plastic fork they included couldn't even pierce. Not to mention the chicken was of course dry. The orange sauce is ok, but rather mild. They put just the right amount of sauce so that it doesn't spill yet it still covers all of the chicken. The shrimp fried rice itself was way blander than I'm used to. You don't even taste the soy sauce. They also skimped out majorly on the shrimp since there was only a few pieces for these huge mounds of rice. I was so disappointed that I tried saving the rice by refrying it with more soy sauce and adding toasted sesame seed oil, oyster sauce, carrots, green onions, bok choy, etc. It ended up being much better than what they sold me otherwise the original dish most likely would've ended up in the trash.

The rice tasted stale and had no flavor. I had to drown it with soy sauce. The shrimp fried rice should’ve been called just rice because I had less than 12 shrimps in my rice. Also they didn’t have any eggs in the rice. The chicken wings were cut in half to make 6 pieces. This was the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had.
