The minute I put my order in, the cook begin making it. I usually order inside. Takes no more than 10 minutes, food is always fresh and not, crispy. And presentation is on point. My go-to neighborhood spot.

My food arrived quickly, was very reasonably priced, and totally delicious -- everything you could ask for in Chinese food delivery!

Just pass by this neighborhood, first time here. Food price is decent, and it's more tasty than the similar Chinese restaurant. Shrimp lo mein has a little bit of smoked flavor, rather than the plain flavor like in some other Chinese restaurants. Except the area looks like a bit concerned to me, other than that are all good.

I called this restaurant on a day where I was really hungry. I asked them to make my boneless spare ribs with yellow rice with lots of love. After a funny interaction with the phone guy, he said it would be done and sure enough did not disappoint!

While the customer service was pretty good, my food was absolutely dreadful. The shrimp and broccoli that I ordered was tasteless and the broccoli was over cooked. I also has shrimp rolls that were rather lackluster. Tasted a not tangy, not sure if they were spoiled or not. Def will not order again.

Tried placing an order. Phone rings but I was unable to get a hold with at least one employee. attempted to call 4 times and nothing. Won't be ordering here.

They said I didnt paid when I clearly did. Even the delivery guy saw me pay. When I kept insisting I payed to the man, I asked him to check the cameras then he got nervous and refused to show the camera recording. He gave the food after he blame me for not paying. They were trying to take more money with false accusations.

This place doesn't care what the special instructions say, I told the 6 soy sauce and 6 duck sauce, they send one of each. I couldn't even eat my food. WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN! I MEAN WAS THAT SUCH A HARD INSTRUCTION!!!!!!

Ordered with them, food came over an hour and a half late and was very cold. I called back for a refund and they only gave me 10% of my order back. Save your money and time and go somewhere else

I have been ordering food from them and every time there’s a problem. There chicken wings is a hit or miss. All depends on the time of the day. If you calling for dinner you will get chicken wings that are refryed. On top of it when we call to let them know the guy was rude!

Took forever to take my order on the phone, then completely ignored the fact that I asked for my food to be spicy. It came bland with no flavor. They also included no sauce in the bag. Very disappointing experience, won’t be back.

Honestly this is probably the most unsanitary Chinese takeout spot that I’ve ever been to. Today I literally saw them pick up a chicken wing that had fallen to the floor and put it back on the pile of freshly cooked chicken wings. First and last time I will eat anything from them. Never coming again
