    Delicious and well-done Chinese-American fare. Definitely worth checking out. Recommended.

    I ordered takeout and the food was good. I would go back based on proximity. Orange Chicken and Rangoon were good.

It was pretty busy on Saturday when we went for dinner but we didn't have to wait too long and our food actually came out pretty fast. The service was as expected because it looked like 1 guy was serving all tables and he was literally running between table to table. I don't blame him for any waiting because he was busting his butt and we didn't really need to wait too long. We ordered a variety of dishes coming here but my favorite has to be the Homestyle Tofu or the Fish Filet. I would like to try more dishes next time. They give you quite a good amount of food for the price. Some places charge the same and give you much less. This place has authentic Chinese food with some common favorites that many of us also know (chicken with broccoli, lo mein, general tso's etc.) so there is something for everyone. There are vegetarian dishes available as well. If you're in the area and would like more savory, authentic Chinese food I recommend coming here!

The dry pot fish was probably one of the best I've had in recent memory. For me it was just the right level of mala spicy, without being overpowering. This dish came with rice. The lotus and mixed vegetables (which also came with rice) were also perfectly stir-fried. It included carrots, snap peas, black fungus, and of course lotus. Even my vegetable-skeptic kids liked this dish, especially the lotus root and snap peas. The wonton soup was more run-of-the-mill, but decent. We dined at Yi Pin on Easter Sunday, and the restaurant was very busy. We were able to get seated immediately at a booth, but it took a while for their lean-staffed waiters to bring a menu, water, and take our order. That said, the food did arrive quickly, steaming hot from the kitchen. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip in Lancaster.

The sign is old and needs freshening as my eyes initially overlooked it among the other stores. When we entered 2 staff were in the adjacent dining room shelling peas. We were directed to a table and ordered unsweet tea. The server brought us a paper cup of ice and a bottle of Gold Peak tea. She asked if my mother and I are sisters, and my mother is 90 so I shrugged that off. She went on to talk to me about being Christian, etc. Another couple came in while we were dining and I think they got a take out order. Otherwise it seemed slow. We chose some fairly traditional Chinese American dishes which came out microwave hot. Soup had a nice broth. The dishes looked just like most small Chinese restaurant food dishes anywhere. The fried rice was a rather tasteless yellow rice with some dried peas. Edible but very unremarkable. I had to go ask for boxes which it turns out our food was served in so she just brought lids, and our server insisted on bagging it for us. I noted we did get actual metal forks but all other items were served in plastic or paper. I tipped her generously and our bill was about $30. I probably will not return unless I am really craving any Chinese food. It was definitely better than chinese from the food store that you microwave, but overall I just wasn't that impressed. However if you are not fussy and just want cheap Chinese takeout I imagine you will be happy enough.

We ordered at the counter and our food came out to the table quickly. DH's hot and sour soup was a large bowl (plastic take out container) and it was chock full of vegetables and tofu. He loved it. My wonton soup was good and had 2 wonton but no roast pork. I missed that. Each came with a baggie of very good crispy fried noodles. I ordered roast pork with vegetables. It was good and plentiful and came with a large portion of fried rice. The veggies were fresh and tasty. I thought it needed more sauce but it was good. DH ordered sweet and sour chicken. It was the star of the meal. Fresh , tender white meat chicken pieces fried to perfection in a very tasty batter. They came with a delicious sweet and sour sauce served in a separate container. Lots of fried rice with the chicken. Only criticism is that the sauce was not warm. We decided to take home another dish to go with our leftovers. We got boneless ribs, one of my favorites. It was very good with a very generous portion of rice and pork in a sweet sauce. The meat was tender but I'd have liked more sauce. We bought the lunch specials and with the specials you can get soup for an additional modest charge. The prices are right. The hot and sour soup and sweet and sour chicken were solid 5s. The roast pork, vegetables and wonton were a 3.5. The boneless ribs were a solid 4. So I averaged all to 4 stars. I think I'd take home rather than eat there. The lady who cooked and served was very nice. I'd go again next time I'm in that end of town.

They have had second and third chances from me when I know that it's likely going to be a letdown. In the past, they've gotten my order wrong and rather than offer to remake it, they argue with me that I ordered something different. Honestly, by phone there is often a communication issue which accounts for this. So I switched to ordering online. The food is ok. It's better than the worst Chinese restaurant in town, Grand China, which doesn't make the food better. It just means that they're better than the worst. If adequate is your thing, this might be the place for you. They've managed to make the location as unattractive in which to eat which, I suppose, cuts down on the need to clean it as often. My latest experience was ordering by phone because I was in a rush. I was told my order would be ready in 10-15 minutes which was perfect as I was rushing to catch a train. I stopped in 22 minutes later and was told that my order wasn't ready. In fact, it hadn't been started. As I didn't have time to wait for it I told them I couldn't wait and left. So the nicest thing I can say is that it's better than the worst restaurant in Columbia. Beyond that, it's a great place for people with really low expectations! But if you want a better experience and better food, maybe drive to Chen's in Marietta or, if you want the best Chinese food in the area, cross the bridge and make the drive to River House.

I told her no repeatedly, we just wanted our money back, we received old food. (Not willing to give the restaurant another chance for obvious reasons.) She refused the refund. We told her to smell the food because just by smelling it was obvious the food was bad. Our sweet and sour sauce had a fermented taste and smell. The rice was old and dry. The BBQ pork was overcooked and chewy, like old gum. The only thing that was RIGHT with our order was the 2-liter Pepsi we got prepackaged. The lady refused to give us a refund and admitted to knowingly serving us old food. Asked if she does this to everyone, she responded, "no, just you." Long story short, I will not be giving my business and money to a restaurant that knowingly serves old and BAD FOOD!!! DO NOT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE BECAUSE ONCE YOU BUY IT, IT'S YOURS OLD OR NOT! THEY DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS!
