    Super amazing family - my service is always quick and great. This is one my favorite Chinese places as the other ones in Indy don't quite taste like the food my parents make. I came here to grab a quick dinner one night and my food was ready in less than 10 mins and they seemed a little busy. The potstickers have a thicker skin than most but everything tasted authentic. I got the shrimp in garlic sauce and I loved how crunchy the veggies were and it didn't make me feel tired or bad that I just ate so much food. Decent price and good portions.

    It's your every day Chinese take out, nothing special but that's what's expected! Decent take out for a lazy night! The only downside to this place is the lady at the register! It's always the same one and she isn't very friendly or patient. Kind of a bummer....also make sure you tell them specifically what sizes you want because she will ring you out for the large in whatever it is unless you tell her lol. Eh...It is what it is..... decent in a pinch.

    House fried rice, sweet and sour pork, bbq rib

    Nice family run restaurant. Their food is good, I liked the boneless rib appetizer. I placed my order online which is convenient, just wish they'd provide an estimated time of pick up. When I went in the kids were there helping out. Support local businesses!

    Sesame Chicken

    Definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants around here in Indy. Chicken was fried well and the sauce it was tossed in was real good too. Their fried rice only has onions in it. The texture and non-stickiness of the rice makes up for it's bland/unseasoned flavor. Paid around $9-$10 for this and it was worth it. It filled me up. I always get sesame or orange chicken whenever I go to a new Chinese restaurant (just to play it safe) to try it out before I get something more "adventurous" like a honey garlic chix or get some appetizers like a krab rangoon. That being said, I will be a returning customer and hopefully a usual because i am tired of looking for a new fave chinese food shop.

    Look at the grease....

    Yelp needs a minus star category for this place... the Pupu Plater is just that poopoo. There are no words to explain how nasty our food was and what a waste of money it was. The Pupu Plater was so over fried and greasy that it made everything tough and tasteless. The Hot and Sour soup was hot but not sour, no taste whatsoever...I don't understand how a restaurant can charge people their hard earned money for inedible food. I guaranty you the owner of this restaurant would not eat what we got served. After scooping out the cabbage in the Egg Roll it all went straight into the garbage. It was take out yet I'm the one who got took....Don't waist your money here....

    General Tsos Chicken
    Elisha G.

    I was recently craving some Chinese food and due to a severe bout of laziness I did not feel like driving across town to my usual chinese place so I opted to try them since they are right around the corner. I ordered General Tsos Chicken, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Crab Rangoon all of which are my favorite. When I arrived the staff was friendly and the establishment was clean. I would have given them a 5 out of 5 but the the Crab Rangoon was way too salty and the Shrimp Fried Rice lacked the abundance of seasoning that was placed in the Crab Rangoon. Inspite of that I would definitely try them again, I'd give them 8 stars if they delivered!

    Good consistency at a good price - some restaurants skip on vegetables or meat - not here

    The hot and sour was awful. The general tsos was good but not crunchy enough. Would love to hear from owners since I eat a lot of Chinese

    Great deals for lunch under 5 bucks! I eat there at least once a week for lunch and dinner. The lady at the register is pretty funny also!

    It's the newest neighborhood place for casual Chinese food. It is a popular takeout spot. New China…read moredoes a busy delivery business with Uber Eats, DoorDash, and probably others. Today, I decided to have an eat-in experience. They have 6 four-top tables along with 1 table that sits 8 guests. There's a TV that usually plays ABC News Live. Tonight is no exception. The cashier stops at the table to check on me and ensure my meal is satisfactory. It's good food at a reasonable price and their restaurant is clean. (I did not visit the restroom.) if you're interested in basic Chinese food--they do have Egg Foo Yung with all the different meats. (EFY is not an option for a Combo meal.) This restaurant is a good option.

    I'd give it a solid 3.5. I didn't take a picture of the sad…read morelittle baby spring rolls... bless it, but they were tasteless. The orange chicken was really good - like, I'd order that again without hesitation. They give you plenty! I don't even know how I'm going to eat all the leftovers. I was expecting the small to be... well, small. Anyway. The pepper steak was just okay. It lacked flavor for me. And of course, lots of giant peppers instead of slicing them down...and a crap ton of veggies without much steak. But that's typical. The shrimp fried rice... Tasteless. I don't usually like to add more soy sauce to my food (and I didn't), but you're gonna need to drizzle the sauce from one of the other meals onto it or SOMETHING because homegirl was tasteless. Disappointing. The shrimp and broccoli was fine - exactly what you'd expect. Everything was packaged well, so I'd say attentive service for takeout. Not sure what it looks like on the inside/bathrooms/cleanliness, etc. since we did takeout, but I would go back for the orange chicken unless I find a place with better + solid shrimp fried rice. P.S. Remember when they used to automatically put eggs in the fried rice without you having to pay extra? I miss those days.
