The title is what they are, how much better can you do?! Simple and no-nonsense. What you get here is actually above average Chinese Americanized fast food. It is salty, sweet, and carb-heavy. The price in relation to what you get is worth every dollar. They offer a tasty filling meal. For all the critics that are comparing this to the big chains, the truth be told is that you will like it here more. The Orange Chicken is far superior and the sodium level is more reasonable. The beef is tenderized and yet it still taste like beef. They seem to have some good volume thus you are not getting something that was sitting there for hours under a heat lamp. For all the MSG haters, I continue to be amazed because you are probably eating MSG in many other foods you are already consuming and you don't even realize it. If you need a Chinese fast food fix this is the place to try. read more

Do not go to this place they're nasty. The food was disgusting. I bought it without thinking and I take it to my office the fish just tastes like shit everything tastes like shit. I throw it in the trash $17 but they charge $.75 for a sauce, you gotta be out of your mind read more

Food sometimes a bit stale, you'll need to go if it's in the morning or when it's packed. Portions can feed a whole family tho or provide three meals a day lol read more

They really are fast. Also the food is great for the price. And you get a great quantity for very little. It's also close by to me. So it's a go-to for me! read more

Food was old and cold but that's not why I'm leaving a review. I'm leaving a bad review because the lady was rude to me when I asked for a refund. She asked if it first time and I told her it was, then she said don't ever come back. It was giving racism! read more

Food is disgusting. Don't come here . Food was old , no flavor. Food grossed me out, rather go to Panda Express

The workers were especially nice, theres a korean lady that speaks korean spanish and english that says hi to everyone and is friendly with everyone. Theres also some hispanic workers that also speak somewhat korean. They overall seem really friendly. I ordered orange chicken which was good and chowmein but it was wayyy too salty. The price is comparable to panda express, just a little cheaper read more

Had to leave a review because I'm shocked that this place has 3.5 stars. Honestly, there is nothing to not like about this place. Fast, good food, and the service is impeccable. I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that this is much better than Panda Express not only by flavor but you get so much more for your buck. read more

Chinese Fast Food - noodles, broccoli, and meat in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, California

Been wanting to try this spot for a while now and finally got the chance this past weekend. Their noodles delicious and on point, spicy orange chicken was very unique and flavorful, and the kung pao topped it all off. Nice clean seating area with spacious room. Dora helped us out and was very helpful. She was very knowledgeable and provided us with samples of some items to try. What makes your experience different is the customer service, and Dora went above and beyond. She's super nice, friendly, and kind. Will be back soon when I'm craving some fast food Chinese. read more

Better than your average Chinese fast food place. Not as good as Panda Express in my opinion. But better than almost all the others. What I like is that they say they don't use any MSG. And the portions are huge. They aren't skimpy at all, so I never feel ripped off like at so many other restaurants. Definitely a decent place if you are hungry. Oh yeah, and the service is always super fast too. So, you won't waste time waiting around for anything. read more

Chinese Fast Food - A typical example of the kind of portions you're getting in a two-item combo - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, California

Amazing food! You can tell it's all freshly made & the portions are more than enough to fill you up. The customer service was excellent! They greeted & made me feel very welcomed. The place is very clean from the food selection to the dining tables. I would highly recommend coming here & pricing is very reasonable! Looking forward to coming here again read more

THE. BEST. HOT. AND. SOUR. SOUP. IN. SOUTHERN. CALIFORNIA!!! I have tried dozens of places in SoCal and TRUST ME this place by far has the most amazing soup! The service is super friendly and the rest of the fast food fare is good, but nothing very inspiring. I would give 3 stars otherwise for this place, but because I am so over the moon about their Hot and Sour Soup, I wanted to bring some attention to this great find! read more

I usually never write reviews, in fact it's probably is my first one. But i can't let this happen again. They give you burned meat. I got orange chicken and sesame pork, both were burned and impossible to eat! The chow mein is like glued to one another. read more

I got my haircut right next door and decided to give this place a try! I got a 2 item combo with a drink for 11.50 can't beat that! Food was tasty kunp pao chicken, fried chicken and rice, they fill you're plate to top! People very nice! Come on over and try it! read more

I went to Chinese Fast Food for the first time today. The food in general is fine - not spectacular but good for fast food - I had the spring rolls, Broccoli Beef and Orange Chicken with rice and noodles. The weakest dish was the spring rolls - they might have been sitting for a while as the were soggy not crisp - but they tasted good. Everything else was fine - I would definitely get the Orange Chicken again. I also ordered the Hot & Sour Soup and the Won Ton Soup. The H & S soup is very very good - very rich flavor and the right amount of heat (for me - I don't like it super spicy). The Won Ton Soup was spectacular - great tasting broth with tons of vegetables and shrimp and the wontons themselves were delicious. I get Wor Won Ton soup all the time from places all over town - this is my new go-to when I need soup. read more

I stop by yesterday to get some Chinese food from this place. The staff are courteous and prompt. However the food tasted very bad. It looked like something was burnt and the amount of pepper in the food was overwhelming and made it nauseating. I had the noodles and king pow dish and it's just horrible. I guess I won't be coming here anytime soon. read more

Shrimp Fried Rice was tasty! They gave me a entire box full! I also ordered chicken (I forgot the name) but it was delicious and spicy

I was kind of expecting this place to be imitation Panda. Most of the entree selection is the same as Panda and the whole menu kind of looks like they based it off of the popular fast food joint. To my surprise, it surpassed Panda in taste and portion size, while cutting down on the grease-factor that I find to be a problem at most fast food chinese restaurants. I love this place .. The orange chicken is a tasty and tangy with a good texture to the chicken (not stringy or dry), and the beef and broccoli was so tender and loaded with sauce (which I love!). I am also a big fan of the hot and sour soup. It's peppery and has lots of tofu and beaten egg whites. This is my new spot for a quick meal to go. read more

Absolute junk Chinese food. Yet I give this place 4 hearty stars... Because sometimes, that's just what the doctor ordered: Chinese fast food. For the price+portion, you really can't complain. Your taste buds won't either (but your tummy may after). My favorites are the jalapeño chicken, curry chicken, Kung pao chicken, chicken wings, eggplant with tofu. I usually get it with half steam rice and half vegetables. Even the steamed boring vegetables make a stand in flavor... This stuff is clearly not healthy, but if you're debating between this and Panda Express, it is truly no contest. Even their spicy orange chicken is off the chain! Parking is usually easy breezy, but on occasion it could be a nuisance. Go to this place for the quick and cheap factors, but if you need not have a bubble belly, warning- you may want to pass. read more

Disgusting!! Its cheap food but not worth making me sick... the chow mein was expired, they gave me kung pao chicken instead of shrimp (im pescatarian). Quality of food is not good. Egg rolls were okay but too expensive for what they are. Paid $20 for chow mein that tasted like a dirty foot and chicken I couldn't even eat. read more

Chinese Fast Food - Kung pao chicken and expired noodles - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, California

They give you a lot of food for not a lot of money, but unfortunately it's not that great. The chicken was a little cold and soggy, the beef was simply dry. I ended up eating more of the noodles because that was the best thing that I had in my box by far. read more

For a little location that gets lost in a little business strip, this place is a hidden gem for prices that can't be beat for the amount of food they serve you and good quality for what you pay for. Once, I ordered the smallest size side they offer and she kept closing the lid to see if she could fit more into the box; She did this like 3x until it was busting at the seams. They do this with the big boxes as well so you will never leave hungry. The staff is always pleasant, efficient and helpful. The seating is extremely limited so if you go at the height of lunch rush, you may or may not get a seat. read more

This place hits so hard. Don't sleep on this place. I can't believe I used to go out of my way to drive to Panda Express when this place is so close to where I live. They ALWAYS hook it up with the portions and very reasonably priced. read more

Chinese Fast Food - 2 entree plate. BBQ pork, orange chicken, chowmein - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, California

This place is great, customer service is great too. From the servers in the front to the chefs in the back they will always take care of you and your needs. I always come by for their won ton soup. Today I ordered the regular and by mistake the soup consisted of pure vegetables. With no questions asked they apologized and gave me a new order of wonton soup with what seemed like TWICE as much chicken, shrimp, and wonton. I was impressed and satisfied with how they handled the situation Prices that can't be beat for the amount of food they serve you and quality that can't be matched for fast food. I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a place to get grub. Enjoy read more

Chinese Fast Food - Packed wonton, - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, California

I'm sold! I've seen this combo Chinese food place a number of times passing by and finally stopped. They HEAP the order. Worth it!

I came for for a late lunch, around 2pm. It said "Best chinese food in town" so I figured it has to be better than Panda express. Got the 2 item combo for $7. Got all Chow mein, which was ok. Had a bit of a sour taste to it...ughhh I got the Brocolli Beef and BBQ Pork. Half of my Brocolli was dark (due to sitting out there for a while). The BBQ Pork was nothing to sing home about because each piece had lots of fat and bones, not much meat. I finished about 40% of my food and had to abandon it to the trash. 70% of all the dishes were very dry looking, maybe because it was 2pm. Regardless, customers still are paying the same price whether its 2pm or 12pm. read more

I'm a big Chinese food fan and Generally not super critical of fast Chinese spots to get my fix but I'll stop an break this one down for you. For starters Parking and seating is very limited. Service was fast and I had to get it to go because the 4 small tables were taken. I got the chow mein, KP chicken and jalapeño chicken and I'll start by saying that it all tasted the same....soy sauce, soy sauce, and more soy sauce. Oh and then soy sauce with jalapeño spicy too. Even the vegetable flavors didn't stand out in all the mix. Not 100% horrible but definitely not good either. Everything looks nice and fresh on display but after tasting it I assume everything in there will be just the same. Good luck here. I should have stuck to my original plan of going to subway a few doors down. Lol read more

The orange chicken is great! You get a lot of food on the 2 item plate. The chow menu & veggies were really good too and the price was under $10. I'll be back! read more

The signage reads CHINESE FAST FOOD. Some call it Best Chinese Food 2000 -- I'm not sure where that name, or the 2000 comes from, but I've seen weirder things. I decided I needed a break from the never-ending flow of sandwiches and tacos that is my life and opted for a quick, cheap lunch and choosing dives over chains, ended up here. Here I decided pretty early on I shouldn't go for anything fancy -- the straight cafeteria style of it all suggested things involving things like vegetables or subtlety might not work. But that tried and true orange chicken, that would probably be just fine. I'm not really sure what happened next, "combo?" "sure..." and I had netted a weighty take out tray filled to the brim with stuff. In fact, it weighed 1lb 12 ounces. $6. This place is definitely going for the value proposition. (How you ask did I know how much it weighed? Postage meter.) It was pretty good, average fare of orange chicken. Strangely of the two items, you'd think the rice would be the easy one but it was pretty terrible -- it being plain steamed white rice. Somehow even the fortune cookie that came with all of it even looked cheap. It read LEARN CHINESE - Very good, followed by the respective characters. Maybe not Best [Chinese Food 2000] or even Very good, but ok. How do you say that in Chinese? read more

I can't think of another restaurant that compares to this one in regards to how consistently kind the workers are and how much food they enthusiastically try to jam into those boxes. I find the food very good and a decent value. This place is a hidden gem for cafeteria style Chinese food. read more

Portions are large enough. Two item combo is the best way to go; Rice and noodles, with two main dishes. I like the veggie spring rolls, orange chicken, mushroom chicken, or teriyaki chicken, with a veggie side. The food is above average, but not amazing. read more

ROACHES. Swear ta God, check my other reviews. I usually try to interject comedy in my reviews, not this time. Got my food, huge portions. Took 2 bites, food was GOOD. Seriously, I was kinda excited to have found a good tasting Chinese spot in the Burbank area. Something caught my eye, looked over- and it was in the middle of the floor, over an inch long. Disgusting. I have a thing about roaches, so I immediately stood up- brought it to their attention and said, "You guys have a nice day!" And then walked out. I didn't stop to take a picture, but avoid at all costs if you hate roaches. read more

Quick stop on the way to DTLA and we are glad we made it. Huge portions, great price and more importantly great flovor! 5 stars!

PROS: - huge portions - cheap - friendly staff - food taste is pretty decent - GREAT soup (I've had their egg flower, wonton, and vegetable soups) - if they're running low on anything, they can whip up a fresh batch quickly - made-to-order menu items for those wanting something a little different and don't mind waiting a little - if you don't want the carbs, there are various sizes of boxes you can get and skip the carbs altogether; everything still comes out cheap CONS: - the parking sucks; don't even trying coming here on a late Friday afternoon - closed Sundays - the ready-made "bar" food doesn't seem to change, so if you come here regularly, you might get sick of the same offerings - I wish they would serve less rice/chow mein and more of the side orders - everything is overly salty - not the best cuts of meat used REGULAR OFFERINGS FROM THE "BAR" (READY MADE): - fried rice (not very flavorful) - chow mein - steamed vegetables (good but salty) - hot & sour soup - orange chicken (regular and spicy) - mushroom chicken - curry chicken - kung pao chicken - teriyaki chicken - chicken wings (these are so good!) - chicken with potatoes (?) - chicken with sauteed jalapenos (very spicy but very good) - chicken with celery (black pepper?) - beef broccoli (I think their only beef item that's ready-made) - braised string beans - some eggplant and tofu dish - spicy shrimp - egg rolls - fried fish - I may be missing a few items here So yeah, mostly chicken dishes offered. I was getting take-out about once a week until everything started to taste the same to me. So I'm going to give it a little rest for now and come back once my palate has normalized. Or when I get a soup craving. read more

It's one of those places you pass all the time and think to stop by but they always seem closed. I thought maybe they close early because the food is so great they just don't need to stay open that late. So on one day I called out "sick" from work, I had the great idea to swing by and pick up a bunch of take out boxes and binge watch tv while stuffing my face with chinese food. I didn't get too far from taking a bite out of the 6 different items we got and well there wasn't much complexity in flavor other than soy sauce, oyster sauce and chili paste. Almost all the items are chicken just chopped up in different ways and with a different vegetable and pick one of the flavors I mentioned before. The white rice tasted under cooked. The noodles just a heavy flavor of soy sauce. It was almost like someone who didn't quite know how to cook chinese food just toss a bunch of stuff together to make it look like something rather than following any kind of recipe. Not only that, I ended up feeling kind of sick after eating the food but I think I jinxed myself because I called out sick to have a free day. But save yourself some money and a tummy ache, check out Angel Thai or go to Cafe Bravo. Stick with what works. :) read more

Then coming here for 17 years good family business good food tasty fresh the end of the day they also give you a big plate for just a few dollars of everything and nothing is left from today on to tomorrow menu read more

Had 3 course combo. Lo mein was nothing more than thick spaghetti with a little flavor. The BBQ was the WORST I have ever eaten! SO SALTY, MORE BONES THAN MEAT... A WASTE OF MONEY. Orange chicken was like orange chicken (no big deal). The grilled teriyaki chicken was ok. Ok, California... listen up! I'm from New York. When I go to a chinese take-out, they took the food PER ORDER! It's not layed out in pans like at a wedding. This is a slop, unhealty and unprofessional way to serve chinese food. It's like a mass production line... food sits too long, gets soggy and becomes tasteless. In order to protest these horrible chinese take-out places that mimics the worst of them all, PANDA EXPRESS (which is NOT Chinese food!), it's time to boycott! Stop by your local chinese takeout and tell them you are not ordering from them any more until they change their ways of serving! I would never go there again... In fact, I will never go to any California Chinese restaurant again. They have no clue what the heck they're doing. They don't even know what Duck Sauce is! Imagine that.... read more

Seriously such a great hole in the wall. I discovered this place years ago and is my go to for their hot and sour soup. They make it fresh and it's so satisfying - especially for someone who's sick. (Has been my secret cure for years!) Give this place a shot. Doesn't disappoint. read more
