    Honestly pretty legit. Authentic Chinese food and quick service. Also legit Chinese usually has polarizing reviews lol. Lots of 1 stars because of stuff that has nothing to do with flavor. More or less a basic menu with plenty of American Chinese stuff like "general tso's" or "kung pao" chicken but when ordering stuff like mapo tofu/cha siu/noodle dishes they do a great job and I really enjoy it. I've been here only twice but I'll definitely be coming back more.

    Best Chinese food in McAllen. This place has authentic Chinese food. The ingredients are fresh. and the taste is true to what I grew up with. Don't skip out on this restaurant. The service is kind. They are prompt in seating you, taking your order, and bringing out the food. The inside is pretty spacious and can seat about 10 parties. There's also an extension to the restaurant that is closed off normally. It looks like it can be used for a large banquet when necessary. I will come here often and order as many different dishes as I can each time!

    Eating soup in a bowl looks very unsightly and you don't want to eat it.

    no good .The food is not delicious and very salty.Eating soup in a bowl looks very unsightly and you don't want to eat it.

    Hot and sour soup

    The hot and sour soup is great; 5/5. The egg rolls don't look scratch made but are great with the sweet & sour sauce; 4/5. The sesame chicken is premium white meat and not a lot of breading. Flavor was just okay; 3.5/5. The crab dumplings were disappointing. Hardly any fake crab and way too much cream cheese; 1/5. I got delivery. No utensils or sauces or even a fortune cookie included. No broccoli with the sesame chicken either. The side of rice was just okay. It's a 3.5/5.0 restaurant. Bad MSG hangover after I ate.

    Korean seafood noodle soup

    The place is tiny, but the portions and flavors are big!! I've dined once and ordered take out once and both were great experiences. The lunch menu has lots of choices and at a good price for what you get. I prefer ordering from the regular menu because you can customize any order to your liking or according to your dietary restrictions. I recently ordered take out and it did not disappoint. Everything was packaged well and the portions were great. At first we thought we were overcharged until we started taking everything out and realized our 2 entrees could have easily fed a family of 5 or 6. The teriyaki chicken was delicious, including the yummy skin. The fried rice was flavorful and not greasy. I had the seafood noodle soup. The broth was nice and spicy and the seafood was well cooked. The only thing I would have changed were the scallops. Because everything was cooked and packaged separately, the scallops had no time to soak up the broth's flavor. Other than that, I would definitely go back and taste some more dishes.

    I'm not sure about the food but the customer service was horrible. The worst I've ever come…read moreacross!!!! The server had an attitude from the beginning when I asked her about noodles and I told her that it was my first time in this restaurant. She just flipped the menu over and pointed to the noodles. She said it will be about 20 minutes after I placed our order for 3 different plates. The restaurant was filled with people waiting for their food. We sat down and waited and watched everyone leave. It had been about 30 minutes and she came out to wipe the tables. I asked her if my order was almost ready, and she answered with "I don't know I am out here wiping the tables" when all she could have said was I will check on your order! That angered my husband and he got to telling her if she could go check on the effing order. I tried to de-escalate the situation by me telling her that all she had to say is "I will check on your order " she went in and started arguing with my husband who was upset at her attitude towards me and about the situation. It wasn't our first time at a restaurant, but it was the first time experiencing this kind of behavior from a server. I'm not sure who trained her at being cordial to customers, but she needs some training. I cancelled my order and left. By the way, I was trying the restaurant because it was recommended by someone else. We were here visiting from Hawaii.

    Went in during lunch hour & the food was affordable, two lunch plates and a drink for $23. The…read moreplace is clean and the crew is nice! They don't have high chairs (in case you have kids)
