Staff are amazing and professional, food is excellent definitely get moneys worth, moved to this neighborhood one year ago from Jamaica queens, and when you live in Queens NYC there's Chinese restaurants everywhere BUT out of 15 In the area I'm so thankful I found this one! I've tried 4 others and it was garbage! Thanks friendly for being there! Definitely our new neighborhood spot!

I was staying nearby at The Voyage Hotel and came by here for Chinese Food. The staff was helpful, friendly and very efficient. They moved quick and the food was fresh and delicious. They were generous in their portions and quick to get my order ready for me.

Ordered the general tsos chicken with brown rice. Was absolutely spectacular! Especially for the price. Plenty of food, chicken was tender, and the service was fast. Highly recommend if you want some quick, tasty, Asian take out.

Was staying at close hotel. It's take away Restaurant. I tried few meals from their menu and food was very good. Restaurant is busy and I saw so many locals ordering food.

The lo mein is meh (tastes garlicky but it’s really wet), the sesame chicken is alright, but the coconut shrimp SLAPS. It’s so good here. Not the cleanest place but there’s always a line for a reason. No place to eat in! Plan accordingly.

I must admit, my opinion may be biased as I grew up patronizing this restaurant. I stopped by last night because I had a taste for their chicken egg foo yung. The original owners (The Wongs) have passed away, so I didn't know what to expect. I must say the food was good and taste the same from when I grew up, so this review is a good one because the food is still good... and I always run into old friends while I wait for my food, so it's a great time for me entirely. Glad it's still there One of the city's secret great spots for good food. I know quite a few, and this is one of them.

The lady was nice. The hot and sour soup was different and great from what I have had before. The egg roll was nice a crunchy.

Food is very tasty. The lo mein and fried rice was very tasty. Surprisingly, it was not greasy and it had a decent spice level. Got a free 2 litre coke for my order. I recommend this eatery.

Friendly people, good price, not enough food variety (mostly seafood) and food quality was very very low. Chicken was hard, beef & chicken impossible to pull apart and chew. Music was a little tragic and depressing.

The typical dishes any Chinese take out would have. Food is good & portions are large. One of the best in the area. Some of the staff are rude but who cares..I’m just grabbing dinner.

I understand why you turn off the phone because there’s no driver but at the same time I don’t want to sit in a restaurant to wait for my food.

The lunch special was okay. I get this place is a no frills place in the hood but when you order wanton soup don’t play this game like you are going to charge me .50 for the crackers. Wanton soup comes with crackers plain and simple. Even the manager agreed with me. So yea they str8 Nickle and dime but if you are in a pinch it’s okay.

Hard pressed to think of a worse take-out place; even in a rough neighborhood. Took 20 minutes to order soup (the flavor of which was unlike any other take-out place. No, not good) and maybe another 25 minutes to get that made and paid for. Worse part was the manager/owner was constantly screaming at the other two employees. That being the cook, just one, and the checkout girl taking orders. She was a complete sweetheart, but almost in tears. Those of us waiting to order or pickup looked at each other in shock, and felt bad for her as she looked embarrassed to be seen being treated this way. I won't be returning here, and I just pray life goes better for her.
