Food is okay, prices are okay, but not enough staff in store. Everytime I go in, they are too busy. Then, order ahead by phine don't start making food until arrive.

Simple, higher more staff. Boss sits in back, should focus on customers.

Awe, man not sure if it was the cook but this food was bussin. Best Chinese food I've had in a long while! I ordered a half chicken with pork fried rice and it was delicious.

Ordered some shrimp with broccoli and found a piece of string that belongs to a mop head or something… disgusting…. Avoid

Ordered three shrimp + brocolli dinners with garlic sauce. Got them home and they all tasted like vinegar and had to be thrown out. Reported it to the Manager and he said to call him to get replacement dishes the next time I was in the city. I called two weeks later and ordered the replacement dishes and was given three lunch size meals instead of the three dinner meals that I had to toss. I should have complained to Amex for full credit when it happened instead of expecting this restaurant to do the right thing.

Had the orange chicken, the General tso’s and the wonton soup. BIG portions and reasonable prices. Food felt fresh and sat well - would come back!

I had the urge for some General's chicken, this looked like it would do the job. But it was real bad. Bad for cheap Chinese food bad. The food just tasted stale, even though I ate it straight from the kitchen. Will not return.

I guess like many restaurants, it's hit or miss at times. Normally this place is a hit, and I looked forward to going back there. But tonight sadly the peas in the pork fried rice were undercooked and the beef and snow peas was chewy and tough. I think it's been better historically on weekdays. In my experience anyway. Still, pretty much always better than the other Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. Except for maybe Profit 2 (a few blocks away). I just recently noticed that they don't give out fortune cookies anymore. Maybe they never have! But I miss them.
My girlfriend doesn't like this dish because it's served with gravy, but I love the Pork Egg Foo Young here. Reheats really well, too which is good because she won't eat it and I'll have leftovers.

Theyre busy. Anyone commenting on the staff being unfriendly is obviously missing the fact that these guys are very busy with takeout orders. Most of the places in this area are.

The dumplings were actually okay. But I get the impression that the menu is hit or miss. For instance, the sesame chicken was mostly bread. Unless you're stuck in this neighborhood I can't see spending the time to find the five or six dishes they make the best.

I totally understand given the location you're going to pay more. But if you have the option to wait until you're in an area that's more reasonable for better quality food you should probably hold out.

The service was fine the guy was quick and to-the-point which some people may mistake for Bad Manners but I see that they're extremely busy.

If this restaurant took the time to Source better quality food, they would see real profit...
