I ate one crab ragoon a bite of an egg roll a bite of shrimp and one bite of my main course the food was absolutely drenched in oil to the point I couldn't taste anything else it's definitely going to make me sick. The fact of the matter is not only was the food disgusting our waitress presumably the owner did not ask if everything was okay or nothing didn't check on us at all and I know it's because she did not want to acknowledge a possible conflict of the situation it is by far the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant and I don't recommend it at all. Not to mention it cost me and my date $50

Speaking of which, many times you'll see friends and family also dining here. They have a super takeaway business. I've provided copies of their menu to help in your takeaway ordering. Today, we had the dine-in lunch specials. Each lunch came with soup; we choose Egg Drop Soup and Wonton Soup. Both soups, see my pics, are full of ingredients and piping hot (particularly welcomed on this cold, windy day). Each broth was rich and flavorful. The wonton soup had crunchy veggies inside the wonton. The Garlic Chicken was full of flavor. The garlic while pronounced wasn't over powering. The diced water chestnuts were crunchy which complimented the moist chicken and was good carrier for the garlic sauce. The carrot slices added some flavor but really added more crunch. The side egg roll (also comes with the lunch special) was super crunchy and mildly flavorful. The brown rice was a great way to enjoy the remaining sauce. The Chicken with Broccoli had the same sides as the Garlic Chicken. However, its sauce was milder, yet still savory.

With that being said, I usually love the General Chicken and the Hunan Shrimp as well as the crab rangoon. Last night the food was just "different" the sauce on the General Tso Chicken was a red sauce not the normal sauce they usually have and the Hunan Shrimp was flavorless. The Crab Rangoon tasted like they were cooked in old oil so it was not a good experience. Let's pray this was a one off because this area has a shortage of great eating establishments.

For us, that means 6-7 meals in total as each item is good for at least 2 meals (for us). I always get the Mongolian Beef - it's generally pretty mild, but I ask them to spice it up a bit. The beef is tender, the veggies plentiful and tasty, and the suace is good. My wife got the Shrimp with vegetables, which was a good-sized mound of veggies and shrimp and also very good. Our daughter got the Chicken Pad Thai - a huge mound of the various ingredients ready to be stirred together and eaten. She was pretty sure she had 3 helpings. They get very busy, but we can usually pick up or order in 10-20 minutes. It is fun to watch them cook while you're waiting. We've always had good service - on the phone, picking up, or dining in. Plenty of options to satisfy everyone. Casual, cafe-style inside. It's our go-go, so highly recommended!

I am a big fan of Chinese food, so a few friends and I drove there to check it out. Both the ambiance and the food were fantastic. It was well worth the several hour drive that we took to get there. If I lived near Clarinda, I would be frequent customer of this restaurant. I was really surprised to see a few negative reviews as well. I makes me wonder, "were we in the same restaurant"? The ambiance was nice. The decor was charming. The place was really clean and neat. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was prompt and kind. I don't have a single negative thing to say. I think that to have such a delightful Chinese buffet in a small down is a real blessing.
