Excellent service at counter. Ask if meal should be hot and spicy, daughter is a vegan and son dislike heavy sauces. Cook to order

We like this place because the food we order is good and they don't gouge us. We like General Chicken and the Curry Chicken and sometimes Mongolian Beef. Generally we see this as a lunch place. They have a good deal on lunch plates that are filling. The main course always tastes good. The noodles accompaniment is okay. The fried rice passable. Also, where I used to work, they would order lunches from here whenever we had guests - even many of them were from China. The food was alway very good when we would order large trays for lunch guests. I'm sure that while I was there, that was over 50 times. Large trays full of food for large groups - always very good.
The food was great but they forgot to give me a spork I had to wait until I got all the way to Lake County to eat my food
Good food and service was quick. Prices are reasonable, I would recommend giving them a try.

Mediocre food at the high price range. No service, etc. May have more customers if there aren’t competitors around.

They messed up on my order, giving me shrimp fried rice when I asked for chicken fried rice, and before that they charged me $30 for a meal
I was brought there by a friend last year and was pretty impressed. Good food with just the right amount to satisfy me ( and most others I think). I had gone back several times and was never disappointed until May 2018. The quality seemed to have slipped a little which seemed obvious by way of the chow mein. Maybe they were having on off day. I'll know more when I head there next time. For now three stars and hoping I can bring it to four stars after my next visit.
First time I ate here was about 5 months ago and I fell in love with the hot and sour soup, it really was the best! Recently the hot and sour soup has gone from wonderful to mediocre to down right NASTY! The last time we got the hot and sour soup it was extremely salty and very dark in color. So today I decided to try the egg drop soup since the last experience with hot and sour soup was not good. The egg drop soup is NOT egg drop soup. It’s more like tofu soup in watery broth. Hardly any egg. I didn’t mind the 25 minute wait for egg drop soup because I thought it was going to be worth it. Boy was I wrong. :(. Giving them 3 stars because of how good the hot and sour soup used to be, maybe they will bring it back someday!

The most grossest orange chicken I've ever ate! Doesn't even taste like orange chicken! The diner smells like wet dog and gross dish washer soap. The chow main and fried rice are great! But some of the food isn't what youd expect!
It saddens me that I had to leave this review. I had shrimp fried rice and fried wontons. The rice is greasy and the shrimp all 4 of them) were tiny and old, that freshness i remembered from years past, gone.wontons were old
Used to be a regular here. Lately it's gone down hill. (Last couple months) their prices have gone way up while the food quality has gone WAYY down. I dont mind paying more, but now the food is not good. They are watering down the sauces and way less veggies and way smaller portions. Too bad! I used to love it no matter the price. Now the last 3x I went, I feel ripped off and am left hungry still. Booo!!

A friend of mine was craving Chinese food, despite my gut telling me not to go in, I did for my friend and was greeted to a curt and unresponsive hostess. She served us food that seemed depressed. Half way through the meal my friend agreed with my original feelings of skepticism. I won't return nor would I recommend coming here unless you enjoy bland siopao and stomach churning chao main. I shutter to imagine what "fresh" fish theme dishes may look/taste like.

Tried several items. Flavor was underdeveloped, poor quality taste. Shrimp overcooked. Sad excuse for Chinese food. Horrible experience. Husband threw his portion away. Can't believe people order food from here more than once.
I thought Peking Tokyo was the worst, this tops it. the worst Schechuan Beef in America. and the to go container was dripping as the lady handed it too me. In a second it was all over my sleeve an pant leg then I could only transport it on the floor of the car. which it spilled sauce and rendered the bag useless, except to be a mess.
Chef Mike is in charge of this restaurant. Go some place else, go to chipotles, Baskin Robin's or super taco instead, even get snack foods from luckys instead.
I used to love this place. Not sure what has happened, but it's really gone down hill. For about the past year and a half, I've been trying to call in an order and they would just never answer the phone. I was in the shopping center and figured I hadn't had them in a while so I'll order while there face to face. The woman taking the order was extremely unwelcoming. It felt like she was annoyed that we were even there. I got the order to go. Opened up the chicken fried rice, and it wasn't even fried. I had to cook it at home. The spicy general chicken wasn't spicy at all and the chicken was very tough and dry. Such a shame. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants.
If I could give this place no stars I would. I’ve never had worse food then I did from here. I ordered the Tyeriaki Chicken I literally had one bite a spit it out. I’m still not sure if it was actually chicken or not but it tasted like they took a piece of old fried chicken and pulled it apart, threw it on top of noodles with no sauce and that was it. Disgusting
I don't know what happened to this place. It used to be great. Now it's just terrible.
Not for me at all. Ordered general chicken and orange chicken, both tasted identical and horrible. The sweet and sour sauce taste like tomato paste. Veggie mushu... god awful! Cream cheese wontons, burnt and leaking the cream cheese out. Only positive thing I can say was the chow mien is decent. $74 bill! The prices were $1.50 - $2.00 more than the menu reflected. We just got robbed.
