Closest Chinese takeout to my house, annotated menu to order on the phone, which in this romanticized scenario is a landline. Food is ready incredibly fast. They don't ask for a name for your order, they simply read your aura when you walk in. They do have a few tables to eat inside, but I'm sure the majority of their business are phone orders. It gets the job done. Dumplings are always a must-have for me. They're great steamed or fried. Also, who do I have to beg to just give me the MSG? Life is too short.

This place is well deserving of their high rating on Yelp! I had to have an MRI in the area and my…read morehusband and I stopped in for lunch on a weekday. They were steady but there was still a table available for us to sit. The service was incredibly friendly and efficient. We both got the lunch sesame chicken with soup and added on an egg roll. The sodas are in bottles but not overpriced at $2.50 each. The total was $38 not including tip for two of us which, in 2026, is reasonable. I got the hot and sour soup and my husband got the egg drop. I didn't try his but he said it was wonderful but the hot and sour may have been the best I've ever had. It had just the right amount of kick, the mushrooms were big and fresh and perfectly cooked, and it was steaming hot! The egg roll was fantastic, and if you are a hot mustard fan definitely ask for a ramekin instead of the packet. It's super hot and made my nose run but the flavor was incredible. The sesame chicken had very light breading, was juicy, large in portion and piece size and all white meat. I think I managed one bite of fried rice before I was full but it was cooked perfectly. Some of the reviews complained about the lack of music playing or art on the walls but truly the friendly service more than makes up for it; I don't go out to eat to listen to their background music, anyway. We will make a point to come back any time we are in the area.

Although it was a little hard to find,…read moreI called to see where it was and a gentleman when I called that told me it was across from Gus Hot Dogs. There is no sign on the overhead of the door location. The place has a quaint, low lighting, inside with slide in booth seating. You can also sit at the bar. I did go there with anticipation of the bar b q chicken but they don't offer that dish at this location. The bbq chicken is my family's goto dish at Surin. Was disappointed not to be able to get that. Did try the Kao Mo-kai yellow rice dish. Comes with a dipping sause. The dipping sauce does taste good. I think bbq is still my fav though. I did find another Hot Dog in the process. Also all waiters were very helpful. Thumbs Up.

They were playing modern pop-country hits as I waited a few min for my order. I got the mongolian beef, which could have been a little bit more flavorful, especially since it was marked spicy on the menu. Still good, though. The fried rice was about what you'd expect for takeout Chinese. All in all, this place scratches the itch.

The food was a 10/10 and is such an amazing place to get food. The lights And arrangement inside looked gorgeous and it was so clean inside. We loved getting to enjoy the food and check out the super market while we were inside! We will definitely be coming back soon!

I had zero problems with my server . I know she was told as they all were to do the silverware. Plus I have lived in Al my whole life. I know about our heat. No your place was too hot. Your food is good but your service for the most part blows. Also a guy server said something rude to me and then when I asked him what he said he said jk. It was not felt rude it was rude when I asked him to tell me again what he said he wouldn't tell me. I heard excuses . Sorry just because you have been in business a long time does not mean I have to support rudeness or a place that doesn't care about my business. **Also if you would go down through the reviews there is a common theme your service is lacking and has been for many, many years. ** Responsibility should be taken and not excuses I will not be in a hurry to come b and my money spends elsewhere.

I love stopping by, placing my order IRL (because I cannot be bothered with the extra step of calling ahead of time), going into The Pig next door to do a small, supplemental grocery shop, and show back up right as my food is ready. This week, I ordered the General Tso's chicken, which was better than others I've had of late, and an order to chicken fried rice, to reheat for lunch the next day. The fried rice here is missing a certain depth of flavor other places have, but this allows it a much brighter and lighter flavor, which I also appreciate. Prices are fair, portions are correct, staff is friendly and efficient. I'll certainly try some of the specials next time I'm back.
