I ordered the sesame chicken,pork fried rice and soda lunch special. Had boneless spare ribs on the side. Very good food no complaints. As a certified foodie I was actually impressed that they have Chinese and Mexican food.
General’s Chicken: 8/10 Steak Quesadilla: 9/10 Chinese and Mexican food under one roof, what more could you want ?
I had there Tostada shell salad and it was good

My family and I love this place. TexMex and Chinese food on the menu satisfies a large family that can never vote on the same takeout or delivery. Both cuisines are tasty. I went in to order takeout and waited 10 minutes while the lady kept answering phone calls and no one else stepped up to take our orders. This is a first. I usually order for delivery which can be a long wait on weekends.
WOW. I ORDERED THE "Szechuan Triple Delight" AND IT WAS IMMACULATE. IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THESE HORRIBLE REVIEWS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS GREAT AND THEY WERE SO FUNNY. 10/10, I RECOMMEND 100%

One of my go to places for Chinese food. This isn't too far from my home and they serve not only Chinese but Mexican as well, two of my favorites. At first I was skeptical eating Mexican food from a Chinese restaurant but I've been ordering from here for about a decade now and they never fail to satisfy me. Their food is always hot and fresh and delivery is always quick and amazing.
Great Chinese place for takeout. Pretty good food and decent portions, fair price. Chicken with broccoli, general tso's chicken are pretty good for lunch. Extensive menu of Chinese and Mexican dishes. Great for students.

I lived in the neighborhood for years. Recently the food is horrible. The owner is so rude 😠 and very loud on the phone. When you order he screams anything else, anything else, anything else , to hurry you up. It's so rude! I ordered chicken wings and they left so many feathers on it. It was so burnt and it happened twice and I complained and he didn't do anything about it. He really don't care to keep his customers happy. You would think so especially during covid 19. It may be a new cook, the food is not the same.
Old dated, ordered a burrito and it was wrapped like a sandwich

I ordered steak n chicken nachos. There was barely any cheese on the nachos. Just sour creme a small amount of tomatoes excessive amount of black beans and jalapeños. I also ordered grilled chicken fajitas. Im very disappointed. The sauce was not only watery but bland. I should have just paid the delivery fee for lin’s yummy taco on 52 willoughby street. The taste was off all together. Never order food when you are extremely hungry.
They're rude. Constantly making side comments. Their lunch menu is extremely limited and they put it in small containers to REALLY not give you your money's worth. I ordered mixed vegetables (Vegetable Delight). The sauce was watery, lacking salt, lacking flavor, cut REALLY large, and the overwhelming majority was broccoli. It was lacking variety. Not a delight indeed. P.S. Another man came in and asked for something worth $2. He gave a debit card. The employee slammed the card back and said $5 minimum. The customer was willing to order other items to make the minimum so was proposing combo items and asking how much. The employee just walked away and made comments to his fellow employees. They were all laughing.

I’ve ordered from here before and never had a problem until today. I found what looks like a fly in my food. I’m disgusted and I hope I didn’t eat anything that I didn’t see. I’m never ordering from here again. This was ordered on 11/5/25: Large sesame chicken Shumai Shrimp egg roll Ginger ale
They use to have good food, now when you order they give you old food that has been overly cook, I ordered sweet and sour chicken and shrimp fried rice and the chicken was as hard as a rock and the rice old. To top it off they increase the price of food and put the food in a tiny tray, I’m gonna order some where else next time. The thing is these Chinese restaurants give us old food, food that they would never eat themselves and their all over the community their saying to themselves we can give them anything we’re still make money off of them. The people in the community the consumers can change that by taking our business elsewhere then they have no choice but to make better food or take your business elsewhere.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! BUYER BEWARE! ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE. This is one of those Chinese food places that rush you to make your order. Their sign says closes at 11. Google says 1045 which is understandable if they want to turn off their grill early. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HERE. I attempted to make an order at 1020 and I was rudely rushed and they literally turned off their cookware and gas as I was ordering. I was told it’s too late, they’re closing though is was not even close to 1045. They were still handing out made orders and deliveries. The most Unprofessional, rude, discourteous, disingenuous, disrespectful “service” I have ever endured. They only a 3.5 rating which means their food is likely below average/poor. Too many options in the area to deal with this disgusting and overpriced store. BUYER BEWARE!!! AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
If I could give a negative a certain amount of stars... I WOULD!! I ordered beef, chicken, and shrimp with broccoli and mushrooms. The guy said it would be an additional $2.00. No problem. I get pork instead of beef and called them to explain that they made a mistake and I would like my correct order. The guy proceeds to tell me that he has to check with his delivery guy first and that it would be an additional $2.00. First of all, why are you checking anything with the delivery guy when you messed up? Secondly, why are you trying to charge my another $2.00 for YOUR mistake!!!????? It has now been an hour and a half literally since they said they would make me a new one. I'm still waiting. You just lost a long time loyal customer.
I purchased 3 tacos and some soup at 5:38 pm. I called the restaurant 3 times before my food arrived. I received my food@ approximately 6:45pm, the delivery person called to say he was here @6:40, I waited an additional 5 minutes for him to arrive. The soup was cold, tacos were sorry and the person answering the phone blamed the delivery guy for everything. My last meal from them
I used to order my food on here and honestly it was good but today for the first time I called because the delivery was well over an hour late the owner was rude on the phone telling me my apartment was too far, he was unapologetic and said I should order from somewhere else. I said I have ordered many times why is now an issue? I called seamless who I used to order the food and they called him. To them he was apologetic and explained what the issue was. That is not genuine. You should have been that communicative to your actual customer and this wouldn't have been an issue. Also telling someone they live too far when you have the option to choose the neighborhoods you'll deliver to is ignorant. Oh well, I will find a new spot.
Rude worker. I called and he was yelling at me . I’m the customer show me some respect and no I was not yelling at the worker I asked questions in a nice way.
This restaurant used to be one of the best. Today I ordered pork fried rice with boneless ribs, thinking that it was a good choose, but I was wrong. The boneless meat was full of fat, and very greasy, including the egg roll. I should've have stood with my usual menu, steak tostada. 😭😭😭👿👿👿
I order extra guacamole for my food! They charged extra money. And they didn't put it in my food!!! When I call them they expect me to go over there to pick it up again!!! The guy on the phone was rude!!!!!!! They need to hire someone who can speak English!!!
