- foodThis is my favorite Chinese takeout place in town. The service is always friendly, and I love the food when I'm in the mood for takeout or need a quick meal. I always think the veggies taste fresh here.
- Chinese foodMy experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, especially concerning the food. It's hands down the best Chinese food in the area. While it's pick-up only, it is absolutely worth it.
- chicken wingsThe chicken wings and the Mongolian beef was the best and fresh
- egg rollsFried chicken and egg rolls always very crispy
- egg rollThe egg roll was also very good
- pork fried riceThe food was fresh and tasted good. I ordered the sesame chicken with pork fried rice, and it even came with an eggroll for about $12.
- Mongolian beefThe chicken wings and the Mongolian beef was the best and fresh
- NY styleDefinitely NY style
- fried chickenMy experience at this restaurant involved ordering a meal of fried chicken with fried pork rice. While the fried chicken tasted fine, the rice tasted bad. Additionally, there were no fortune cookies given, which was a disappointment 👎.
- portion sizesThe portion sizes are a good size for the price

- fortune cookiesdoesn't give fortune cookies with the meal
- pork fried riceyellow fried rice that was supposed to be pork fried rice
- portionsportions are small
- tastedon't like the taste
- Chinese foodI used to consider this the best Chinese food around, eating here over 8 times a month. However, it seems like the kitchen staff has changed, as the food tastes completely different now. I'm returning to my old spot, even though it's a 30-minute drive, because the quality is worth the trip.
- Egg Drop SoupSoup was scalding hot and didn't have much flavor
- FoodFood:2
If youre looking for a casual Chinese spot with potentially generous portions and that classic NY style, it might be worth a try. Just be aware that while many find the food fresh and tasty, theres a chance of encountering some inconsistencies in flavor or texture.

Frequently criticized
- staffMy experience at this Chinese restaurant was by far the nastiest I've ever encountered. My husband and I had the worst experience with the staff. They became angry simply because the food tasted like old oil.
- serviceService:1 omg her attitude horrible she yells at customer
- customer serviceThis was all because we wanted the service we paid for. They use old oil and have terrible customer service. Honestly, I've never felt so threatened in my 71 years of life.
- orderthey forgot part of my order
- phoneYears ago this place provided excellent customer service and some of the best food. While I can't comment on the food lately, due to the phone never being answered by the restaurant and DoorDash orders being canceled and refunded often, I've given up trying to order from this place. And given how the restaurant owner commented on these reviews expressing how he doesn't care about opinions, which is the whole purpose of reviews, then we can expect there won't be any positive change going forward for this place to climb up again.

If you're considering a visit, be prepared for a potentially inconsistent service experience. While some find the staff friendly and efficient, a notable number of patrons have encountered rudeness, especially with phone orders. It might be a gamble, so manage your expectations.

- Barbershop next doorHowever, the restaurant only offers takeout. I suggest calling in your order for pickup or delivery because otherwise, the Barbershop next door will aggressively advertise to you while waiting for food. The food only took 10 minutes, but it was long enough for Angel from the Barbershop to come over and aggressively advertise Elite Barbershop next door.

Too Expensive, Small Portions
My experience at this restaurant was marked by its high prices and small portion sizes. For the same dishes found cheaper at other Chinese restaurants, I found almost everything to be $13+. While I understand inflation, the cost felt excessive, especially considering the small portions.
It was definitely way too much for what was served.

Skeptical but Hungry Chinese Food Experience
I'm always skeptical of eating Chinese food from different locations because everyone cooks their stuff differently. I'm currently waiting on my food, but the lady at the front counter is aggressive and not friendly at all. However, I'm hungry as hell, so we'll see.
They say the ruder the worker, the better the food, lmaoo. It better be fr.

Rude Owner, Incorrect Orders
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly frustrating. The owner is consistently rude, even when answering the phone. I've paid extra twice to have my food prepared correctly, and both times it was still wrong.
To make matters worse, she tried to charge me extra each time to fix the incorrect orders. Today, I received yellow fried rice when I specifically ordered pork fried rice. While I initially chose this place for convenience, I will no longer spend my money here and will opt for the extra drive to another Chinese restaurant.
I advise others not to waste their hard-earned money here.

Disappointing Lo Mein Experience
I've been coming here for a long time, but my last visit was disappointing. The staff member who took my order over the phone seemed annoyed. The lo mein I received was essentially just noodles drenched in soy sauce, creating an overwhelming taste.
I had to confirm with my partner that he hadn't added any extra soy sauce, as it was that intense.
