The menu does not stray far from the usual fare that you would expect from a New York style Chinese takeout place, but that is not a bad thing. A lot of people, myself included, love these old Chinese takeout standards. If you are in Meridian, Mississippi and wanting good New York style Chinese takeout food, I would recommend here.

Lets face it, Philadelphia, Mississippi, is in a rural, backwoods area of Mississippi. Pine trees…read moreand woods are mostly all you see as scenery traveling the highways getting here. Our destination was the Neshoba County Fair, a historic happening in Mississippi that I've heard about all my life but never attended. The fair has been going on since 1889 and features food, fair, entertainment, political speaking, friendly people and harness racing among other activities. When I was growing up, 60 years or so ago, harness racing was a local sport at the fairgrounds in Corinth, Mississippi. Over the years, it has become a rare event around the state and I came here mainly to refresh my memories. As you drive down the highways to Philadelphia, you suddenly do a double take by a most striking architectural sight which seems totally out of place. Shaped like a curving wave that rises to a peak of 20 stories or more with a globe 8 or 10 stories high dangling from the peak. The globe I finally figured out was symbolic of the moon but the overall structure is quite unusual and visually striking. Our reservations were at the Silverstar which is directly across the highway from the Golden Moon Hotel and Casino which is the structure I just described. The Silverstar is an almost identical sized casino and hotel but not as big or unusual. Both casinos are owned by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and an elevated walkway over the highway connects both of them. All of the land in central Mississippi was once part of the Choctaw Indian nation at the time the United States came into existence. The United States government eventually pressured the Choctaw Indians, over a period of years, to cede over 23 million acres of land to the Federal government. Most of the Choctaws were moved to Oklahoma, west of the Mississippi River, by the 1830's. A small group of Choctaws refused to move to Oklahoma and remained in Mississippi living on 35,000 acres of historic homelands held in trust for the Choctaws by the Federal government. Our visit here was primarily for accommodations. The hotel is very nice, rooms are large, beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are very nice. Everything was clean and first class. I would rate the hotel 4 stars by most any standard. Check in was smooth and staff were friendly. I spent a little time playing slots and my son walked to the Golden Moon and enjoyed the poker gaming. We enjoyed our visit and would return again.

Inflation is becoming a tiresome thing. Basic Chinese / American food, lack of flavor and mostly oily on the noodles, breaded chicken, stir fried teriyaki chicken, and beef, etc. There were four buffet tables (2 for hot, 1 for salad items, 1 for desserts). Also has prepackaged single serving ice cream. Though the food was basic, the service was good. The server checked several times if I needed additional refills and removed my empty plates. The restaurant itself was clean and organized. Lots of seats and tables for 2-12 people. The food was fresh but lacking flavor. Good to fill your belly but not anything else. No pics this time.

The server tried to fight her as well. Came out the back of the restaurant and threatened to put his hands on her. Never will eat here again.
