My personal favorite is the orange chicken. There is not too much orange flavor but just enough and a hint of spice. The staff is lovely. Our waitress was coming over to check on us constantly and was very polite. There is booths and chairs. There is usually some country music playing. It can get loud in there because it's sort of a small space. One little tip is that if you prefer eating with chopsticks you can get them on request.

Sweet and sour chicken. This pic was take-out and was taken after I left sitting out for at least two hours.

This place has good Chinese food. I've tried several times and I've never had anything that's too salty or overcooked. My only "complaint" is that sometimes the pepper steak entree has far more onions and peppers than steak. I've tried the egg rolls, fried dumplings (potstickers), chicken lo mein, sweet and sour chicken (really good), pepper steak, sesame chicken, cashew chicken, moo goo gai chicken, General Tso chicken and then something that was a mix of chicken beef and shrimp. All were good and portions are good for the price. It's great for leftovers the next day but the fried rice dries out (not the restaurant's fault and it's always good rice when fresh). The lo mein noodles are thick and have a dense consistency which clearly tells me they are Asian and not Italian noodles. I give three stars only because it's the typical Chinese restaurant offerings without much that's unique. They also don't have fried wantons, crab Rangoon or coconut shrimp which are faves. For COVID purposes, the staff was wearing masks and hand sanitizer was available. I was asked to sign the check with the same pen everyone else uses when picking up dinner to-go. I had a glove on so not a big deal to me but not the best choice. I didn't observe anyone in the dining room so can't comment on social distancing measures. A sign on the door indicated masks are required which I applaud. The staff and woman who took my order over the phone were pleasant and prompt.

Lettuce wraps, lunch special, and egg roll.

The food here is pretty good. Didn't expect the chicken wings to be small wingettes but they tasted…read moregood. Super nice people working here. Quick service. The inside is a little bleak. Would love them to maybe bring back their lunch buffet that's on their sign. That would be awesome for this area. I would definitely go back

We visited this Chinese restaurant today, hoping that they would have a lunch buffet. (Thursday,…read moreearly November, 2023, around noon). Unfortunately, they didn't have a buffet but we decided to dine-in anyway, and ordered from their lunch menu. Food. (2.5/5). We ordered, and shared, two entrees from their lunch menu. (1) General Tso's Chicken and (2) Beef with Chinese Vegetables. Both came with your choice of fried rice or white rice. Strangely, if you order take out (but not dine-in) from the lunch menu, the meals also come with your choice of an egg roll or a can of soda. We also ordered an egg roll to share. The hot food arrived quickly, served on paper plates but with "real" silverware. The quantities were generous (we returned home with a doggie bag), and the food was okay - but not exceptional. The General Tso's Chicken featured deep-fried breaded chicken chunks, covered with (and over-whelmed by) a sweet and sour sauce that was too sweet and ketchup-y for our tastes. The menu also listed this as a spicy entree, but we didn't detect any chili. The broccoli accompaniment was perfectly stir-fried, but we would've liked a few more vegetable pieces. The Beef with Chinese Vegetables had a nice assortment of vegetables, including broccoli, cabbage, carrots, onions, snow peas, and mushrooms, but the beef was somewhat chewy and both the beef and vegetables were also overwhelmed by a sauce. We both ordered the fried rice, which was okay but was only rice (no vegetables, egg, etc. add-ins). The egg roll arrived hot and freshly fried, but the filling appeared to be only cabbage and maybe some carrot. We also received two fortune cookies at the end of our menu. Mine didn't have a fortune in it though; is that bad luck? Lol. Value. (5/5). Each of our entrees and fried rice was $9, and the egg roll was $2, so our total bill before tax and tip was $20. This was a good deal for the quantity of food received. Service. (5/5). The waitress was attentive, efficient, and pleasant, and dropped by a few times to replenish our waters. She was single-handedly handling all of the booths and tables, and patrons who were picking up take-out. The restaurant offers plentiful free parking in front.
