First time here, had been hearing good things and were in the area so decided to try takeout. My…read morefamily of 4 agreed that the chicken itself is the best we've had, compared to any place in Springfield. Fresh, cooked perfectly and not too thick of a batter. Thankfully we all got our sauce on the side because my son has a severe nut allergy and he ordered the general which had peanuts all over the chicken. Since our sauce was separate he took the sweet and sour chicken and used his general sauce on it. We also had the sesame and cashew for my husband. All the sauces were good but they are very thin/soupy compared to what we are used to. Husband said cashew sauce was very garlicky and my sesame could have been a bit more savory for my taste. Our biggest complaint was these meals come with steamed rice, not fried, and there was nothing on the menu about fried rice so I'm guessing there is only steamed. That being said, it was good but needed the sauce on it. Also, meals don't come with crab Rangoons or anything else. All sides must be ordered separately. We just stuck with the meals this time. I would eat here again and would try the Rangoons or spring rolls.

I have to admit the quality of their food this evening was by far the worst yet. A simple order of cashiers chicken that looked and tasted as if it had set in the refrigerator for at least a day if not two. The breading was soggy the chicken tough and the sauce what little there was was soggy dark and bitter I gave it all to my dog and ate a frozen entree. So last time ever.

For 2 people the buffet on Saturday lunch with water to drink was a few cents short of $30. They also add 4% to debit cards (not legal) and credit cards.

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!

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)

This I believe is how General Chicken is supposed to taste, however I'm not much of a fan of this version of General. Almost all restaurants taste like this.
