I mentioned how much I miss katy rolls - even though they're not on the menu, 2 appeared. There are plenty of vegetarian options. The food, while conveniently delivered in take out trays (it is a casual place), is quite good. The takeout trays were a great idea as portions were very generous. Every dish we had was delicious. Just as a heads-up, there are no standards on what level of spice is "medium, spicy, etc.). I suggest requesting a level a bit lower than you might request elsewhere.

If you're anywhere in the Poconos and craving Chinese food, stop what you're doing and go here…read moreimmediately. This place is the definition of a five‑star hidden gem. The moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed with a warm, genuine smile that makes you feel like family. No frills, no gimmicks -- just pure, unforgettable flavor. The food? Absolutely out of this world. This is the kind of spot that reminds you why "hole in the wall" places are always the best. The chicken with curry is hands‑down the best I've ever tasted -- rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. And the hot and spicy chicken? Legendary. Fiery, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every single time. This restaurant doesn't just serve great food -- it sets the standard for what great food should be. Five stars isn't enough. It's the Poconos' reigning champion of Chinese cuisine, and it lives up to its name in every possible way.

A few of my friends said this is their favorite Chinese takeout so I finally made it up to give it a shot. I got the shrimp with garlic sauce combo and an order of Szechuan wontons. The woman was friendly and spoke solid English. The establishment was downright greasy...but honestly what Chinese place isn't? The wontons themselves had very little filling in them. It was all crunch and no body. The sauce was also just ... not good. Tasted closer to American bbq sauce than it did any spicy Szechuan sauce I've ever had. Also zero spice to the sauce. There were also peas and carrots in the container. Like ... what? This was a huge letdown. I ate 2. The shrimp with garlic sauce had 4 shrimp in the container. The shrimp tasted great, and their garlic sauce was solid, but 4 shrimp. I should have gotten the chicken. I normally order chicken with broccoli and have them sub garlic sauce when I get Chinese takeout. I should have done that. There was also a plethora of vegetables in this that were just taking up the space the shrimp were missing from. Baby corn, water chestnuts, large chunks of mushroom/onion/pepper, snowpeas...you name it. The one highlight of the food here was the fried rice wasn't just generic yellowish rice in a container. This was actual fried rice, which is hard to come by in these parts. The egg roll was unremarkable. I'll go back and try other stuff at some point but for now - Five Star Chinese -Sucked.

I ordered the chicken halal over rice and baklava, and I'm already thinking about when I can go back The baklava situation alone deserves its own review because you get four pieces in an order and can mix flavors. I tried the chocolate and pistachio baklava and both were unreal. Their dessert display should honestly come with a warning because everything looks amazing. Huge thank you to Jorge and Saiyu for being so welcoming to me my first time there. I recently moved nearby, so finding a spot with great food and great energy made me ridiculously happy.

I ordered: - Lamb tikka gyro - Lamb and beef platter The meats in both dishes were delicious. You cannot go wrong with ordering food here. I would order the white sauce on the side next time because it almost took over the food but other than that everything was great! The amount of food that you get is worth the price.

D-rock the concurrent will regale u wit a rich tapestry woven wit da threads of storytelling. We all kno that when the times get tough that easy times make tough times easier than when they wuz tough. The accident took a toll on my personalty from who I had been carefree n lovin 2 everyone knowin that da cosmic sauce we all dippin our wings in is made from a base of holy unity amongst all sentient beins. I let da memory I can't excape of my slingshot spinnin out n goin down da boatramp on Kelly drive by da row center n da battry stop worken n it twist my footback 180 degrees. I knew I had 2 get back to me. I had 2 seek what had not been sought. I had 2 go on a journey 2 where a man could dive deep within who he is n make the mental sojourn to explore the dark corner of da mind to expose da peace that each man strive 2 be. I knew me n my gurl wuz gonna have to head to da pocono for da Memorial Day weekend break so I could get some peace amongst the mountain scenery. I had da Italian ailment call FUNDZALOW (funds-are-low) n knew we couldn't swing a Airbnb bcuz I'm on a fixed income right now n my gurl spend all her extra money on Her DUI lawyer payment plan so we had 2 stay wit her dad n brother that have 2 lazy eyes. We sleep in his room when we stay there n he sleep on da couch n his sheets always be wild all cover in dog hair n who kno when they washed. If that wuz not bad enuff then when u go out 2 use the restroom in the nite he sleep facing the door wit his eyes open so it look like he always looked kind of at you or behind u since his eyes lazy. We sat by da river the first day but it wuz rainin n tough get Down by the water at Smithfield beach bcuz my foot twisted up somethin unholy. We got down there n just sat n stare at da rain drop makin ripples in da river. It make me think about how everythin me n my gurl wuz goin thru now was just a ripple from an event cause by a poor decision. We wuz caught in the ripple now. It let me see that the ripple don't go on forever. Eventually life smooth out. The surface wanna be smooth. I knew in that moment ya boy wuz gonna be AOK. Tough time don't last just tough people bro. I knew I had da gumption to better my situation. I believed again. My girl believed again. We knew that da future had in store 4 us and we realized that we just accidentally take da elevator to da basement but we on da way back up to da penthouse but this time wit more awareness of da responsibility that go along wit it. All this enlightening made ya boy have da hunger of 2 oxen. I knew I must feast n I knew I had 2 have the cuisine of my enlightened Buddhist breatheren. I knew the battle I must fight to get back on da rite track n the only meal for for the fuel I would need was that of the great general tso. This chilken was given me the power of great warriors before me that vanquished armies, natural disasters, n personal injury cases. I got da large. No fried rice just all chilken n brocoli. The sauce wuz as sweet as the breeze on my lips cruisin down Kelly drive on the Schuylkill in my slingshot. The brocoli remind the green tree tops swayin in da breeze. A perfect summer day second to no other. Me, my girl, da slingshot, Philadelphia, the album God's Favorite by Noreaga blasting from Da speakers. Heaven, nirvana, whatever u wanna call it. I knew it waited there 4 me all bcuz of this chiken. The meal was a microcosm of the universe in dat moment. It wuz all gonna be ok. 2 have desire is 2 have inherent suffering. U just gotta make sure it worth it. I found peace in dat mountain, that river, n that meal. Believe.

Today I…read moregrabbed some fantail shrimp, chicken lo mein (for my son), and the Dragon & Phoenix for myself. I don't like the fried rice at nearly any Chinese takeout spot in the area but the rice here most closely resembles NYC fried rice to me. The inside is fairly small with maybe 6 tables and the cleanliness is honestly what you'd expect from a Chinese takeout spot. So The Dragon and Phoenix is a little different here than I'm used to, but still good. I'm used to General Tso's Chicken with a spicy shrimp. This was General Tso's with a very basic flavored shrimp, maybe in a lobster sauce. I still enjoyed it, but it was just a bit of an unexpected twist. The fantail shrimp were a little overcooked as well but still enjoyable. Their fried rice and lo mein are always on point. This is definitely the spot I choose in this general area each time I want takeout, and I've been trying others to see if any will change that but so far none is up to the task.

Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to our expectations. The food was decent, but not as impressive as we had anticipated.

Overall, I was expecting more based on the hype, so we left feeling a little disappointed. It wasn't a bad experience, but it simply didn't live up to the expectations we had going in.
