    The overall look of the establishment is a bit run-down and unorganized . When I first entered, the workers looked at me and continued in conversation before approaching me, no greeting was given just asked what I wanted. I ordered a boneless rib with fries, as well as an order of fried wontons. After my first few bites of both ribs and wontons I was wondering if this was intended to be a jaw workout instead of a meal. Everything except for the fries was overcooked. The ribs you can tell in the picture were very burnt and not meaty at all. I attempted to mask the taste with ketchup. The friend wontons had little to no stuffing and again, extremely hard to chew. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

    Chinese Takeout is an essential comfort food for me and after recently moving to this area, I was on a quest to find the best. At the end of the day, this is Chinese Fast Food, not to be compared to some fancy Chinese Restaurant, but what it does, it does well. After ordering from 4 or 5 different spots in the area, I have found that this spot provides the most consistent flavor, texture profile and timely service, and it has been the spot I keep coming back to again and again.

    First time here!

    Since we're all doing what we can to support our local businesses, my wife and I decided to try a different Chinese restaurant nearby for lunch. We've driven past Bally Dar forever, but this was the first time ordering from them. Due to COVID, you can only enter the doorway of the restaurant, which is fine. When you call to order, you're assigned a number and when you get there, you pickup and pay behind a plastic partition. Now the food... it was excellent! We both had lunch special. I had chicken with cashews and my wife had chicken with pineapple. Wow! We really loved the meals. As usual, I wish I ordered what my wife did, because while mine was very good, hers was amazing!! Now that we've been to Bally Dar, we will no longer just be passing it by any longer. If you like Chinese food, give this place a try!

    The local Chinese restaurant, I order from here for delivery but came to grab it for dinner tonight since I was out. The guys are nice, considering they are all doing a bunch of things. The smell here is "fried" to say the least. I wish I would have ordered the sweet and sour shrimp as I'm watching him wrap someone else's and it looks so yummy, perfect light batter, piping hot and sauce on the side ! Any who for delivery they are usually very fast from the moment you order, I expected a small wait since I didn't call ahead. Listen it's Take out, I'm not expecting too much but it's decent priced, fast, hot, and not tooo bad (kinda) for you. I will be back, if nothing more than cause it's in the area. I say give it a try.

    Recently moved here and found this place on doordash. Fantastic food!!! Arrived hot, crispy, full of flavor and great portions. Will order again soon

    Terrible portions! I waited 1:15hrs for delivery(I live 2.5miles away) and after eating the 7 pieces of broccoli and 3 pieces of chicken from my order, this was left. Seriously the entire thing was 70% rice. Nothing worst than waiting on your food, paying for it and not getting what's expected.

    Beef and onion was good...rice wasn't cooked all the way. Egg Drop Soup came hot

She's the one who told me about this place and as usual, Angie was right. This place serves up some Really Great Chinese Food. For starters we both ordered the Wanton Soup. So warming and comforting on a really cold day, very appropriate and very delicious. I find that when dining with other Yelpers, especially Angie, it's always interesting and insightful to share thoughts about the app and discuss things only other Yelpers can understand. She's what I call an "Old School Yelper" who can relate to me the way that the app used to be and how it's evolved through the years in retrospect. This is one of my favorite topics being discussed with by one of my favorite friends over some of my favorite foods. I knew today was gonna be an Excellent Day. As we talked, the rest of our lunch order arrived and She went with the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce with White Rice. And I ordered the Pepper Steak and Onions alongside White Rice. My lunch was Stellar and I realized that this is Quality Chinese Food that had nice flavorful slices of Beef, plenty of Peppers and Onions with almost no amount of grease that you find at some other local restaurants that serve this same style of Chinese Food. I definitely know that I'll be returning here for Great Food whenever I'm in the Mood! Come and get Your Munch on!!

We stopped in here a little early for dinner, right around 5pm, and the mall and the restaurant were pretty empty. It was hard to get a feel for how the restaurant might feel when full, but the lights were low (not dark) and it seemed like it could get loud when packed. We were seated right away by a very friendly hostess and the bartender/waitress was over pretty quickly. She came over and made a couple excellent recommendations for drinks and we put in an order for pork dumplings. She came back over and we then placed our entree orders. I had the Mongolian Trio and my wife ordered the Orange chicken. The pork dumplings were great. Our drinks were great. The entrees were a mix. My wife loved her orange chicken - it was tender and had lots of flavor. My meal - fried chicken, shrimp, and beef was cooked a bit too long which made it a bit tough and the sauce was pretty salty.
