Our family like the food. They accept requests (like the sauce you prefer, not too salty, not sweet, not spicy,etc. Reasonable price. We always go for take out. The place looks cozy.

Such a great spot! I ordered the Sweet & Pungent chicken and also an egg roll for takeout. The service overall was excellent. The individuals I dealt with when picking the food up all seemed nice. I've come here plenty of times before and the food is always consistent. I highly recommend checking them out for some authentic Chinese food!

No delivery. Very good food. Pork fried rice and the shrimp fried rice are very flavorful. Only takes about 15 minutes for food to the ready for pick up. Only been inside a few times but it is nice in there for eating in. Nice lighting in there.

Went 45mins drive based on reviews.Wanted old school Chinese food . When I walked in,yes its a tad sketchy and jamemd with stuff that probably needs to be updated.Bit upon our pleasant greeting,we passed the older gen ladies HAND making dumplings on the way to our table. This was a good sign.Not factory. I was pleased that we were immed given tea and noodles w/duck sauce (part of that old school experience). We had the lunch specials. The prices are unreal (as in cheaper than most). For $19 we had *The mentioned noodles/duck sauce/HOT tea *BONE IN Spare Rib combo-fried rice/egg roll (I think was home made) *Brocolli garlic sauce w/white rice *Both came w/soup (Wonton-pillowy and light.Maybe a tad high on sodium) *and BOTH came w/ice cream ! We were so pleasantly surprised we were going to order food for takeout for later but since we were not close to home,and it was 85, we opted to visit another time.I would gladly deal w/decor issues and drive the ride next time I`m in the mood for real American Chinese food. Wish I found it sooner !

What a nice place along with real friendly staff. Of course, yummy food all the time. Thanks!

Great food. People are ok. Just bring a tote bag with any Chinese Food. It leaks on my car fabric seats was able to get out. The restaurant gave me extra fortune cookies and I did get the Chinese pizza scallion pizza out of my cloth car seat. My bag broke I always have extra tote bags. So I know from now on tote bag and wash the bag after Chinese food. The vegetables lo mein is great Wow lots of vegetables! I am broke but when I have more money $16 pineapple chicken theirs is so much better not fried and only pineapple there's is chicken pineapple and vegetables in a very delicious sauce! See you in a few months I do not eat out too much!

Super friendly family owned and ran business. Service is always spot on. Food is always great, and prices are amazing. The staff engage in conversation all the time and always remember who we are, our usual dishes. Have never had a bad meal from there. Can't recommend highly enough.

Best Chinese food in the area! I'm not sure how I've never known about them growing up here. The people are so nice and I love how the one woman always wants to make sure she spells my name right on the order (it's the little things ). I wish they delivered though.

I was counting on Yelp for a nearby Chinese restaurant close to the movie theater that we were going to. Thanks yet again! Very good version of my go-to - shrimp w lobster sauce. Excellent sauce, which I usually don't finish (I all but licked the plate!). Friendly staff and fast service. Decor is meh but at least it's a dine in! We're definitely hitting here again!
