    Worst fried rice ever. So bland.
    Lisa M.

    Child labor, rude attitudes and food that's still frozen!! The broccoli is still frozen. The fried rice is a poor excuse for fried rice. Just chicken and onions. Fried dumplings are the worst I've ever had....... but the worst part about this place is the child labor!! So I'm wondering when did the state of IL make it legal to have a 10 or 11yr old child run the front counter of a restaurant and clean the tables? The last time I checked there is a legal age requirement to work. While I am all for teaching children responsibilities, this is a very uncomfortable experience. I asked a few questions about the food since this was my 1st time here...... this child is very rude and so was the man that stepped out of the kitchen. Then again, if I was 10 I'd want to be doing things children do and not working. I'm surprised the people of Columbia have not complained about this establishment to the authorities. I will not be back. If I wasn't with others I would have just left. Shame on you people for allowing this place to do this. SMH!!

    Excellent food. To go orders are usually ready in 10-15 minutes from call being placed. The prices are very reasonable.

    The food here is delicious. I order takeout often, and both the portion sizes and the staff are…read morefantastic. The gravy chicken and orange chicken are both great, and I especially love the fried rice extra fried. The hot and sour soup is also really good.

    Still trying to find our go-to Chinese and this checks a couple of boxes but not all…read more Lady who runs the counter and possibly cooks, too has been there forever, she is quick and efficient. Still carry out only. You order at the counter and there are seats to wait for your food. If you think ahead, you can call it in and not have to wait. I seem to stop here on a whim. I like that they have combination plates all day and not only combo plates for lunch. This time I got Hot Braised Chicken Boneless with Egg Drop Soup, and Crab Rangoon. I also tried the Szechuan Dumplings. The chicken was cooked well, and the sauce had a good flavor, but it was just ladled on and not tossed and that would have made it better. The fried rice was great; I love that it doesn't have peas or carrots which I dislike in fried rice. The egg drop soup has good flavor and the crispy wontons are aslo good to add to the soup. The crab rangoon were a little sweet for me and the dumplings were pretty good but sauce was just ok. Overall, this place will do but I will continue on my quest for great.
