Price for the lunch buffet was good. The food was fresh. Just nothing stands out about this place.

Haven't eaten here since they got caught using produce from the garbage of the next door supermarket.

Prices are a bit high, particularly for a rural area but the food is excellent. A local favorite…read moreseem to be the orange chicken which I can attest to being delicious. The fried rice, if ordered as a main dish (with your preferred meat), is unique as it includes bean sprouts. This ads a bit of bitterness but actually seems to compliment the dish overall. As a side, the fried rice is about as good as I have ever had. Another personal favorite of mine is the hot and sour soup. I have never had better and I have eaten it in many places. The only negative is the portion size, a cup is exceptionally meager while the bowl is large enough to drown in (prices are reasonable on this dish only). The shrimp in hot garlic sauce is also quite good but again exceptionally pricy. The buffet, 11-1 Tuesday through Sunday, is rather small but tasty. I have noticed locals tend to refuse it when orange chicken is not on it (this seems to be 19 times out of 20). There is no rhyme or reason to what chicken dish will be on the buffet. Typically, it is sesame chicken but I have seen another type along with the elusive orange chicken as well (do NOT count on it being on the buffet!). Other fair includes chicken and mushroom (a personal favorite), happy family, Mongolian beef (spicy beef, onions, and peppers), fried rice (non-meat but with bean sprouts), crab Rangoon, sweet and sour chicken, etc. I will warn you that the place gets crowded and as seating is limited you may be turned away, particularly after church hours on a Sunday. Also, as the buffet is so small there is the perpetual problem if running out of food on it. Be aware that customers are like vultures and wait for more food to arrive. I have found the elderly of Iowa have few qualms about shoving you out of their way or snatching the last of something from your tongs as you attempt to pit it on your plate. Buffet is currently $9.85 with a soda, over priced for the size and selection but still worth it for me. Overall, excellent food if you can handle the price. Pros: Excellent food quality, diverse menu, and Pepsi Products (oddly, no Sierra Mist though). Cons: Price (it is impossible to spend less than $10), size of buffet, crowding, and replenish rate of the lunch buffet.

Best Chinese in the area. My favorites are Happy Family, Schezwan Beef, and Pork and Green beans…read moreare my favorites. The dinner special B with the BBQ is amazing and the wonton soup is devine!

I have always driven by this place and didn't see many cars and that is my que to not stop. If…read morethere aren't many cars, there aren't many customers and that's a signal of a not so good place to eat. However, I discovered this place is TO-GO only. That changes things. No wonder there aren't a lot of cars there Yelp reviews were pretty good so i gave it a try. I must say I am impressed. I have eaten there three times in 10 days. It's easy. It's fast and it's good. Service is always friendly and helpful. The ambience is what you'd expect from a To-Go place. And the food is very good. Was there just yesterday and there was a steady stream of cars in and out; people who called their order in or ordered online. Me? I'm still new to this place so I enjoy walking in and deciding what I want. You can see into the kitchen a bit and see how fast and efficient they are working on different orders. I drive 20 miles one way to get this food and it's worth it

I ordered again here for a family of four and food was great. It's always fast and ready when I…read moreget there. At the counter was treated very nicely and appreciated me stopping in. I want everyone to remember that I feed my family two meals out of our order that was 100 dollars and if I go to a fast food place and order meals and did two meals for each would be about 120 and fast food is not great. They have good food here and are a nice family serving this area.
