    Pic #1 = Plated and looks & tastes delicious!
    Steven B.

    This is my closest Chinese take out joint and I've been coming here for years. They are a quick 5 miles from me, and I've always found them to be a 3-star experience. The rumor mill told me that there had been an ownership change, so I headed over to see what's changed. Arriving- They are in a tiny plaza on the southbound side of US Route 27. There is a cross street with a light so getting here is easy and parking is a snap. Ownership Change- Yup, it's changed owners, but the name has stayed the same. It appears to be family-run with a father, wife, and a son & daughter that appear to be young teenagers. They were all working when I blew in at noon on a Saturday. The wife was running the front of the house. As before, there is a heavy language barrier, but ordering is no problem. Just don't plan on discussing politics in America with her. Ambience- I was struck by the cleanliness! You could eat off the floor! There are a few tables, but nobody really eats here. They just wait for their takeout. Food- Typical extensive Chinese menu with no surprises. I ordered Steamed Dumplings, large Pork Fried Rice, and a full order of Beef with Snow Peas. That's a lot of food just for me but I turn it into two or even three meals! The bill was $32 which I found a little high for this area. It was out in about ten minutes and off I went, headed for home. See my 3 pics. Pic #1 is the packaging, and it was solid. No leaks or mess. Pic #2 shows the opened food. As you can see, it looked delicious! Pic #3 shows how it plated. Everything was still hot. Nothing had excessive grease which was great. The Beef with Snow Peas was very good and the mushrooms in the dish were awesome and really hit the spot for me. The rice and dumplings were solid. I've had dumplings with more filling but that's a minor quibble and these were quite flavorful. These new owners seem to have hit the ground running and I'm delighted to say that I'm changing my rating to 4-stars!

    Under cooked egg roll.

    First time, Last Time Ordered: Crispy beef with Chinese vegetables, beef chow mein, and one egg roll The beef with Chinese vegetables was not crispy, Chinese vegetables consisted of celery, onion, carrot, and a few snow peas. Where is the bok choy, Long strand Chinese green beans, and bamboo shoots? The dish had a heavy amount of thick sauce made from oyster sauce. How is the beef to remain crispy if it is soaked in liquids? The dish I requested should not even have a sauce and should be topped with cilantro or scallions. Lastly, I requested the dish to be medium spiced, it was bland. The beef chow mein was extremely watery and only consisted of celery and a small amount of jullianed carrots for vegetables. The chow mein noodles were stale. The egg roll, as seen below in the picture, had more wrapping than filling. Even if they add added more shredded cabbage to this eggroll it would've sufficed and satisfied as a decent egg roll. Also would saved on the amount of meat filling used. Cabbage is a very cheap vegetable and one that can stay fresh for a longer period of time. Because the wrapper made up the majority of the role, it did not cook inside the outer most part of the wrapper. This made the egg roll chewy. As a result, the inner layers of the wonton wrapper were extremely chewy to the point of inedible. I had to stop eating it. I understand the need to cut back on vegetables due to inflation but these vegetables are some of the cheapest on the market. Had cabbage been added it would've made every dish better and more filling. I spent $21 and change. Will not be returning to this restaurant. I am Domaine de Valier, and I am a food critic. I traveled the world in search of good restaurants and surprisingly new dishes. As well, I've been all across the United States trying new dishes. I was originally trained as a French cuisine chef with Asian accents during the 1990 phase of infusions. I also apprenticed under an Austrian chef for pastry and bread work.

    The best Chinese food. Made to order, you see the kitchen. Clean place. They take your order over the phone if you want.

    Great restaurant to order and pick-up food. It tastes great and always made to order.read more

    I'm crazy passionate about supporting private businesses in my little town. So much so that I…read moresometimes visit businesses that were not my favorite in the past just to see if they've changed. It's been over five years since I reviewed these folks and yup, they have changed, for the better! Atmosphere- None! That's right none and you can thank the pandemic for that! The small dining room is shut down and the walk-up counter is almost completely enclosed in plywood which I sincerely hope is temporary. See my pictures. I did notice that everything is spotless. Food- I wanted to compare apples to apples so I ordered my go-to stuff that I get at my 1st choice joint. So, a small pork rice, fried dumplings, and Mongolian Beef. It cost within a buck of my other place so who cares. It was ready quickly and very nicely packaged. The fried rice was just fine and as far as I could tell, virtually the same as my other place. Much to my surprise, the dumplings were better! The count was the same but there was more and tastier filling! Another surprise was the Mongolian Beef as it was also better! Although you can't see it in my picture, it had bunches of those baby corns that I dearly love. It also had chopped cabbage which was unexpected but tasty! So, One item was the same and two were better! I may need to change my allegiance!

It would be even better if there was a full liquor license. The icing on the cake is two-for-one on all alcohol drinks including Long Island Iced Teas! No, it's not a dream. Read on- Arriving- These folks are in a large plaza on the northbound side of US Route 27. Signage is not great, but your GPS will work its magic. Even though it's a plaza, parking is irregular, and you may need to walk a bit. Ambience- Nothing special and a little darker than you might expect. Standard Americanized Chinese/Japanese décor, lots of booths and the expected hibachi tables. Speaking of booths, my dining partner noted duct tape on her booth seat and frowned. Free Wi-Fi with no password. It's slow but usable. Customer Service- In my experience, always exceptional! The young lady serving us this visit was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable of the menu. She checked in throughout our lunch and when we were leaving, we were discussing how awesome she was! Adult Libations- Full bar here and these folks are famous for two-for-one drinks all the time! Don't expect fancy glassware or all kinds of embellishments to your drink but at two-for-one pricing, do you care? Food- These folks are the poster child for "typical." The Chinese, Japanese, and Hibachi menus are exactly what you have seen in a thousand other places. My dining partner and I both went with the standard Chinese combo lunch plates. Me Bourbon Chicken and General Tsao for her. Both came with Pork Fried Rice and an Eggroll. We could have substituted soup for the eggroll. They went for about $11 each. To drink I opted for two-for-one Sangria @ $8 and my partner ordered a Bobba drink @ $5. The food and drink were solid across the board. Nothing fancy but solid, filling, tasty food at a decent price point. We both agreed that the eggroll was nice and crisp, and the filling was delicious! So, you get the option of three styles of food and cheap drinks. The food is going to be at least three and maybe four stars with excellent service. I'm going with four stars!

The food was clearly freshly prepared some adequate, some good some very good. The best part for me was the Huge Hibachi grill in the back. You get to select from a variety of freshly cut vegetables and a variety of proteins. I had mine prepare with a combination of Mongolian and Pepper sauces and it was quite good. I am definitely disappointed that like other places in town, they don't have fried rice. They have yellow rice, but not real fried rice. The service was very good, my drink was quickly filled when it got low. The tables are spaced out well and it wasn't loud despite there being a lot of diners including children. Can't say I will go her regularly but they have a selection of foods for everyone and you won't leave hungry.

Plenty of parking in a multiple shared business parking lot. Free fortune cookies are brought to the table with your bill which is very affordable. There are multiple TV's through the restaurant as well as a decorative water fountain that doubles as a koi pond You also have the option of filling a carry out box with your favorite choices and enjoy at home. The box is priced by weight. Frog legs are available only on Sundays A must try!!
