    Two of the larger chicken toes but not nearly the usual size from other Chinese restaurants.

    We have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the area since Lai Lai Wok had changed hands. We had heard some not so good reviews about their food since the new owner took over and heard their food was very good and decided to give them a try this past weekend. We ordered the Pork Mei Fun and a Pu Pu Platter for two. The Mei Fun was delicious and full of strips of pork and vegetables. The container was full and it tasted very fresh, not greasy like other restaurants we have ordered this dish from. The Pu Pu Platter contained two spareribs, two wings, two eggrolls, four chicken fingers, four beef teriyaki and two crab Rangoon. The value for the money in our opinion is not there. The egg rolls, were very tasty and my husband enjoyed the beef teriyaki, I didn't care for it not that it was cooked badly. I just did not care for the flavor. The chicken fingers (calling them chicken fingers is kind), because they were smaller than the nuggets at McDonald's. They were greasy and did not live up to what we had hoped. Neither of us cared for the ribs, or the wings which were a little dry and not the nice big crispy ones that the previous owners included on their platter. The crab rangoon look like they had been through a battle and had lost. They were broken and tattered, and in our opinion the price for what you get is not worth it. Never mind the fact that most of the food isn't very tasty. Sadly, we will be taking them off our list, but just because we were dissatisfied doesn't mean you will be. We are learning that Chinese preference is quite subjective. The two chicken "fingers" with the crab rangoon are the larger of the ones in our order of four. The one on the plate is what the other two looked like. Not typical of most chicken fingers from other restaurants. The are more like chicken toes.

    I'm going to be 100% honest I usually don't leave reviews anywhere but this restaurant I have been to about 3 4 times and they are literally are the cleanest Chinese food place I've ever been in that's the first thing . Now to the food always amazing and taste fresh and hot not like if it was reheated or something the service is alway good and always make my food how I ask

    I am officially done with this place. I got chicken with mixed veggies the other day. The chicken was rubbery and the veggies soggy.

After my experience there, I could say the same. They have about 4 tables if you wanted to eat there, which we did. They have paper menus, closely resembling the options offered at other Chinese take out spots. I was overwhelmed and went with the chicken wings and vegetable fried rice (spicy upon request) combo, but I should've picked something else. My friend ordered the orange chicken with vegetable fried rice (spicy upon request) and a spring roll. We each got a drink and ended up paying about $30 total. After about 10 minutes, our food was ready. It was hot and looked delicious. I was expecting the big wings with the drum, flat, and extra tip, but they were party wings with the drums and flat separate. It came with 6 wings which is pretty good for $10. It tasted good. My friend's plate looked amazing, and tasted even better. The chicken was white meat, the batter was still crispy, and the sauce was incredible. I highly recommend. They are located in a plaza, so parking it very easy.

    I ordered pickup from Osaka today for first time (too hungry to take pics first lol, have take pics…read morenext time). I ordered on a Tuesday and not sure if that's why a fee things were 30% off or if it was because was late in the day (7:30pm) but since got a discount i ordered a fee more items. My husband picked the order up so i cant speak on service. I do know parking is an issue since it doesn't seem to have a lot (if they do, its only 2/3 spots behind) We ordered: Pu Pu platter for 1; small pork lo mein, 1 nine chow, 1 spicy salmon roll and 1 godzilla roll. The order was ready in 15 minutes, i live 3 min away so this was great! The pupu platter had a few things only my husband tried but he liked them all; i tried the crab ragoon and loved it (9/10). The nime chow (5/10)wasn't my favorite; it seed to have some type of lettuce in it and not much taste. The clear sauce wasn't great either; i wonder if they have a different type of peanut sauce. The two sushi rolls i liked; the godzilla was still warm from the tempura batter. I only wish it had less batter on some pieces. (7.5/10) Overall i liked most things and def will order again. Hopefully next time i remember to take pics.

I have never had a bad meal here, and I always try to be adventurous and try something new each time. With that being said, I always get an order of the Chongqing diced chicken.

When we went inside, there was only one other party there and no music, so just whispers and the sounds of utensils against plates. There are about 4-5 booths and 1-2 regular tables to choose from. Since l am not familiar with Sichuan cuisine, I had Al help me choose my dishes. I went with the dumplings in chili sauce, fried rice, eggplant in garlic sauce, and chongquin chicken. While we waited, we were given water. The dishes came out at different times. They first served us the dumplings which were really good. The sauce they were in did have some chili sauce, but it was mostly like a sweet soy sauce and really tasty. It came with about 6 dumplings with a perfectly cooked wrapper and filled with flavorful pork - simple but delicious. Next was the eggplant. I was expecting a heavy garlic presence, but it was more like a sweet and sour sauce. The eggplant was very tender, but really hot so we had to wait to let it cool down a bit. The rice came after. I honestly think this was one of my favorite dishes since it was perfectly cooked, great flavor, and good portion. Lastly, the chicken came out. There was a large pile of chicken, but half of it was peppers. The chicken was cut into little bite sized pieces, each fried perfectly. Some pieces were more tongue numbing than others but it was nothing aggressive; very gentle and comfortable numb. I would have liked if there were music, but the no music was fine too; an escape from chaotic reality. Our total was around $50, which wasn't bad for the amount of food we got. I would come back to try other items.
