LEGIT AMAZING!! I don’t eat Chinese food. I ended up here one day because i was at the light and my lunch break had 15 mins left. Hands down the best Chinese restaurant chicken I’ve had in a while. Once in a blue if I’m in the area and pressed for time I come here for wings and fries. And ONLY here is where I go.

Been eating here for almost 2 Decades. One of THE BEST Chinese Food spots in NYC and that's saying something. A Crown Heights staple. True Masters of flavor. I bring friends from other boroughs and they say its the best they've ever had. Same workers all these years, same great taste. Get anything, doesn't matter, you'll be satisfied

They really hook you up with those big portions. For my Veg friends out there the general tso vegetarian chicken is some of the best I’ve had. Ps. It’s cash only but they have an ATM

The restaurant delivers on taste while keeping things upbeat. This place has achieved service nirvana. You won't discover comparable meals around the city. The flavors impress and the environment enhances them. I'm coming back without question.

Love this resturant found them about 2 or 3 months ago while driving in the area. They make some of the best BBQ Spareribs,they make them the right way which is under the broiler plus they have meat on them, they don't serve you bones like most Chinese takeout restaurants I've been to. Haven't tried alot on the menue but what I have tried I enjoyed and prices are reasonable Nice attitude over the phone which is always a plus. The Spare Ribs are the BEST!!!

This place used to be a good value, but recently their prices have skyrocketed $13 for wings and pork fried rice is pretty ridiculous to be hungry again in two hours
