Impressed with the homemade egg rolls, rangoon, Chinese food dishes. General chicken made with white meat, cut fresh, breaded and made to order. Short-staffed, so service isn't fast doing multiple roles, but gave the best service they could considering. Be prepared to be patient, but we think it's worth the wait! We'd rather support a small business that's slower when the staff is giving their all. Ambiance could be improved, but everything was clean.

My bad, I reviewed the wrong one, but I'm sure this location is good too! Here's my review from last year on the other location: I could tell by looking at the photos and reviews on Yelp that this place was going to be wonderful. Thankfully, when we finally gave it a shot, we were not disappointed. Talk about made fresh. Everything was so delicious and freshly prepared. Flavors were spot on. The service was fantastic. They always made sure that our drinks were filled and we had everything that we needed. My absolute favorite dish was the fried green beans with minced pork. Get it with extra minced pork and you'll love it. The steamed dumplings and pancake appetizer are also really good. Highly recommend! They also have clean restrooms with an extra large sink outside the restroom area so you can quickly wash your hands if you don't actually need to use the restroom. Pretty cool. We can't wait to go back for more!

Interestingly enough, I gave this place a shot because it was on Yelp's "Top 100" list for Chinese…read morefood in the US.... In Springfield of all places??? I was at once both intrigued and more than a little doubtful. However, I've now been here half a dozen times (every time I visit Springfield) and I can say that most of what I've had has been extremely authentic, especially the spicy stuff! Having lived in LA and also in Asia, I'm pretty strict about what I am willing to call authentic. Corner 21 isn't perfect and a few of the dishes fell flat, but you won't find anything better in town. I'm giving it full marks for being such a pleasant surprise in a seriously unexpected place. edit: Almost forgot to mention that the portions are quite big. Portion sizes were definitely more Springfield size than big city sizes! Recommend - Szechuan Spicy Chicken, Dry Fried Green Beans, Traditional Sweet and Sour Pork, Szechuan Boiling Fish Don't recommend - Yang Zhou Fried Rice (It tasted fine, but it's supposed to use bbq and not spam)

TV: timed in to kids programming and loud at any point and time. Kids: the daughter is quite enough. But the son talks out loud....saying what he's seeing on TV....non-stop....and I mean non-stop. And he is loud, fast talking....and oh, did I say loud? And this is how this place was on this visit. Read my other review, where the owner; which was our waiter one time in the past; never put the daughter down; as he took our order or served us. And the daughter was sick and a snotty nose that was snorting around like all get out! Service: They are never organized or attentive at all to the sit in customers. Tables always sit dirty. And if you eliminate the two tables...the owner's kids dominate...I think that only leaves (4) total tables to manage. And I sit there...and see multiple Door Dash orders get messed up and/or take forever. This last time, a Dasher left after waiting forever. The new owners may be nice or well intended. But...they have ruined this place...for all the wrong reasons.

With that being said, THIS PLACE MAKES DELICIOUS FOOD! I was traveling through this town, and a friend recommended this restaurant. All you can eat Chinese - I was thinking "Aww c'mon, I don't want all you can eat Chinese, the quality is usually Sub-Par" And I was Completely Wrong -Boneless fried chicken. It was Awesome - I haven't had a better boneless fried chicken at any restaurant that I have been to -Chicken wings - very good. All you can eat too? -Pork Dumplings - Awesome, better than any pork dumplings I have had at an all you can eat, and most Chinese Restaurant, regardless - and all you can eat? -Spring Rolls - very good, top notch, as good as the best Chinese Restaurants that I have been to -RICE! I love rice, the white rice they had, had eggs in it, A nice touch as a rice, I thought it was AWESOME - if you look at it as a fried rice (which I didn't) you could think it was a lacking fried rice, but as a regular white rice, it was Wonderful. -Desserts, were very good, a coffee mousse cake - Wonderful, Ice Cream, not bad - and of course - ALL YOU CAN EAT Ambiance was good. Nice atmosphere Service was awesome, they kept the food coming for their customers, nothing ever seemed short. The Chef or Chefs were working hard to keep the customers happy, which I would think of as fans. I had eaten their 1 time only, and now I am a fan Price was beyond fair. It was a very good price for great food. I went with 5 stars because I am not a fan of what looks like common Chinese Restaurants, and I haven't been able to find an all you can eat restaurant that I have enjoyed (truly all you can eat, no time limits or whatever new trendy things that are referred to AllYouCanEat) and the staff was very friendly I judged this book by its cover, and I was Absolutely wrong, this place is awesome and now I am a fan!

So when my husband brought it to me, I cannot believe how tiny it was. It was in a 12 oz Styrofoam cup it wasn't even full. I mean they didn't even hardly meet the 2/3 mark. It was 6.00 out the door ! I was still in the parking lot and asked if we could just give it right back and get our money back. He said no. I was pretty bummed out because it's unpresentable. I'm embarrassed to give it to my daughter because we've had such great wonton soup in the past at other restaurants and they put it in a really nice styrofoam small bucket . But when I got home and put it in a bowl and it was nothing but broth and two tiny fried wontons and a speck of green onion and 2 mushrooms . I was livid. I don't usually write bad reviews but I wanted to warn people. Do not get the wonton soup. I took pictures . That's so wonderful I am able to add these pictures. It will 100 % percent proof of what I'm telling you. The picture of the soup is in a very small Chinese Bowl. It also had 2 pot stickers instead of wontons. One had no meat ! Such a let down.
