My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I tried several dishes, and everything was fresh and delicious. The Potstickers, General Tso's Chicken, Mongolian chicken, Fried Rice, and Barbecue pork chow mein were all excellent. The meats were consistently fresh and tender. Additionally, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Our regular spot for take-out a couple times a month! We enjoy everything they have, from fried rice, Kung Pao, Beef broccoli and the usual standards to the Vietnamese and Japanese options. The food quality and consistency are good, and the family and employees are kind and helpful.

My experience at this restaurant was excellent, despite its shabby exterior. The food and the service were both outstanding. It's a family-run establishment that has been operating for years, and it's become our go-to spot for takeout.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the great food and the very kind and friendly service. It's an awesome restaurant for a family dinner.

Don't let the faded exterior fool you! My experience at this restaurant was great. It serves delicious Cantonese-style food with an open kitchen. They offer plenty of affordable lunch specials and regular dishes. The ~$14 lunch special (before tax) comes with a great portion, a spring roll, and hot & sour soup. The food is freshly cooked and flavorful. The chefs are professional, the staff is friendly, and the service is fast. Takeout is also available!

Our experience at this Chinese restaurant was exceptional. We initially chose it because it was the closest to New York City Chinese food, but we quickly discovered it's SO MUCH BETTER than any corner joint in NYC. The food is truly the best, and we highly recommend the General Tso's Chicken. While the food was a perfect 5/5, the atmosphere was rated a 2/5. Service was rated a 4/5, and the price per person was between $20–30 for dinner.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. Although the chef was friendly and smiling, which earned an extra star, the overall condition of the restaurant was poor, from the faded sign outside to food stains on the walls inside. The service was non-existent; no one came to my table to take my order, provide a menu, or bring water. The indoor temperature was uncomfortably cold, prompting me to order takeout from my car. The food itself was subpar: the beef resembled rubber, and everything else appeared microwaved and lacked any taste. I couldn't even finish a bite of the broccoli. This was by far the worst Chinese food I've had in any city, and I strongly advise skipping this place if you dislike wasting food or money.

I absolutely love this place and will be so sad when they rebuild this block and we lose them. It's the best Chinese in the Frelard/Greenwood area. It's fun to watch them cook it right in front of you, and they always have interesting meals for their own lunch. The staff are friendly, preparation is fast, and the food is delicious. There are lots of options and lunch vs. Dinner specials. Be sure to ask for higher spice, as they are geared for local low tolerance. They offer a large family table with a rotating center for sharing, as well as small private tables for couples. Come enjoy the food or order for take out, like I often do.

I ordered for delivery for the first time and was disappointed with the food. The dishes had very little flavor. The beef was grey, appearing to have been boiled. The orange chicken was mostly soggy breading, making it hard to tell if there was meat. The shrimp with noodles did have shrimp and didn't raise concerns about food poisoning, but it was still bland. On a positive note, the egg rolls and fortune cookies were great.

This is exactly what I want in a Chinese restaurant. The staff were friendly and the food was really good. Best Orange chicken I've ever had.
