Great service and good food been goin there for 18 years great chef specials. Try the scallion chicken
This is indeed a hidden gem! It's located in a small strip mall with Piggly Wiggly and a drug store. It looks like a small hole in the wall. The inside was spotless. There is a table with utensils, sauces, napkins, menus, and fortune cookies to your left, seating to your right, and an order/pickup window directly in front of you. I decided to order online but online ordering was closed. It was 8:30 pm and they closed at 9 pm so I was cutting it a bit close. I figured I would have to choose another restaurant but when I called the lady that answered the phone assured me it was not too late to put an order in and I had a large one. So large, we were given two egg rolls and ten Chinese donuts for free. It was a pleasant surprise. Ten minutes for enough to feed a small army. When I arrived it was almost closing time. I was greeted warmly and my food was indeed ready and smelled amazing! I was encouraged to help myself to their condiment table and snagged utensils, chopsticks, soy sauce, fortune cookies, and napkins. Unpacking the food was shocking to say the least and not in a bad way. The amount of food crammed into the package was insane. We split every dish three ways and still had leftovers on the dinner combinations! Before I get into the food itself let me tell you this restaurant does something I really like and appreciate. They ask how spicy you want your items. They have three spice levels. Hot, Mild, and Not. I like a little spice but I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a dish so spicy I couldn't eat it and my parents can't take spice at all so it was nice to know we could eat what we were ordering. The food was fresh and piping hot. I've had an issue with some Chinese places "double dipping or frying" foods. You know when you see that tan brown color that the food is old and it's tough, hard, and overly greasy. It's pretty nasty to be honest. There was none of that here. Everything was light colored, fresh, soft and utterly delicious. My family went on and on about how good everything was. Our egg rolls were crisp but soft. The crab rangoons, were crisp, soft, and the filling was just perfect - not too sweet but not sour. Our Hot and Sour soup was the best we've had in the area. The House Lo Mein was not greasy and yes it's been a thing with other restaurants. It was perfectly loaded with veggies, chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp. We each got a dinner combination plate. They included fried rice and an egg roll for under $8! With the amount of food you get, it's a steal! Our entrees were Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and Sweet and Sour Shrimp. Everything was expertly cooked. I asked for light spice on the Mongolian beef and it was delicious, as were the other dishes. We finished up with the free donuts. They were nice, fresh, and still hot! We had leftovers for lunch today and it heated up terrifically. I will most definitely be going back. I have no complaints whatsoever except that I got full way too soon. You should try this place. I highly recommend it.
One of the best Chinese restaurants I have ate from that reminds me of home not to many southern people understand really quality Chinese food but being from Brooklyn NY I enjoy there cooking HERE
5 stars for the price. If you're looking for authentic or a nice Chinese place this isn't the place for you but it checks all the boxes for quick and easy typical Chinese takeout. I like the soups
For a hole in the wall spot it was really dang good food. I got the sesame chicken and some wings on the side. Everything was crispy and crunchy like I like it!! They are slow as hell though.
