I live down the street so this is my local Chinese place, and I love it! Love the egg drop and wonton soup and they must think I am crazy cause I regularly order just soup from them. But everything else I have had is also good - fried rice, lo mein, the basics. Always ready on time when I walk in! Thanks from the crazy soup lady

This is the first time that we have tried this restaurant. I had the Happy Family with wild rice and my wife had the Sea Food Combination with the wild rice. The food was the best that I have eaten, delivery service fast, and quantity huge. We have enough food for two meals and then freeze the rest for another. I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant. My highest compliments.

The food is unbelievably delicious. Every time! We have become regulars. Always piping hot. Extremely quick delivery. Every item we have gotten was outstanding. Garlic shrimp, pork fo hoon, Happy Family, beefpepper steak. The egg drop soup is perfection. Tonight they made their first mistake and did not include the pancakes with one entrees. We were disappointed but figured what the heck. Ten minutes later a knock on the door. Delivery guy apologizing saying he saw that when he got back to the store and wanted to bring it right over. That was above and beyond!

The food is good American Chinese food. The portions are normal American sizes. The hot and sour soup was fine. The egg roll was terrible. The chicken and broccoli was fine. The home style tofu also fine. The best dishes were the eggplant and the chicken with peppers in a black bean sauce. The shrimp egg foo young was also classic Americana. Fried rice also good. Overall a solid place to go for American Chinese food. There are not that many tables indoors and out and the atmosphere is perhaps more diner than restaurant. But they have a booth by the window, if you have anyone who loves a booth by the window. The money tree is also tall and in good shape. The staff are helpful and speak Chinese. There were many orders for takeout so this must be a regular spot for the locals.

- food was really good, the szechuan chicken had really good flavor. Everything was fresh and it was nice to be able to pick the level of spicy that you want. The fried rice was really delicious as well.

- service was quick.

- prices are normal for the area.

- not sure about parking since I got it delivered.

- staff were friendly.

- overall a good first experience, I'd recommend this location.

The place was quiet. We ate here for Chines New years. It was small and peaceful to eat in with 4 loud kids. The price was average for the area. It seemed a little pricey for me. Other than that the food had flavor for American style Chinese dinning. They treated us good for a busy rainy Sunday Night.

The best Chinese food I have found while loving out here. The orange chicken tested like fresh oranges and everything was high quality in terms of freshness. Excellent and highly recommended!

Nothing to shout about, it’s just a little neighborhood Chinese cafe. I ordered the Chicken & Eggplant in Garlic Sauce dish, it was just okay. The server did not even check on my satisfaction although I was the only guest at that time. The ladies were too busy chatting among themselves. In addition, their ad about wine list was very misleading. There was no list nor menu, I was verbally offered red or white wines. Won’t be back.
