there isn't Chinese on their menu ???? Like all the entrees are in English lol

We got 2 beef egg rolls and one "Szechuan" ("Sichuan" ) string beans.

The string beans were solid 4/5 but the egg roll was 1.5/5 bc it was very doughy and the beef wasn't fresh.

The prices were very reasonable though!

I used to order from them all the time and the food was good. However, now that they have reopened after being closed for renovation, I placed my first order and the the soup was greasy. The egg rolls were doughy. The fried rice was sticky and lumpy. I will not be ordering from them again.

Disappointed with the flavor and texture. Ordered pork low mein and the meat didn’t have flavor. Couldn’t tell if it was pork. The noodles were thicker than other restaurants which wasn’t bad but it lacked flavor. The crab rangoons were not good. They were a thick pastry and it was fried in old oil and over cooked. You could taste it. The filling was very salty. They were not good.

Egg drop soup was good. Nice and hot and good flavor. The chicken wings were also good. Nice and crispy.

Overall not satisfied with this order.

Good Chinese food take out restaurant. I ordered the Bean Curd with Black Mushroom dish which also came with white rice. The tofu dish was tasty and delicious and the portion was generous. The staff members were friendly and the food was cooked quickly. Plenty of seatings inside the restaurant.

This restaurant is located in a convenient distance from my apartment. I was actually kinda conflicted to come to this restaurant when I look through the online review. But I still came and tried it myself. I ordered the Gentso Chicken and the chicken broccoli. Here’s my personal opinion of this restaurant: The Gentso chicken are crispy and savory. I personally thinks that the sauce for the Gentso chicken is just right and it’s delicious. But i guess if you prefer stronger flavor you can ask them to make it extra saucy. And for the chicken broccoli, the chicken is very tender and the sauce is really savory as well. And if you compare the price for this restaurant to the other Chinese restaurant , it’s actually much better and really worth the quantity of food they serve. The other comments are really misleading. I wanna write this review to adjust the preference they had on the internet. You wouldn’t know what’s it’s like unless you come and tried yourself.

The food was a range of temperatures with the soups actually being cold. The soup was also disappointingly bad after having reheated them and while the chow mein and lo mein were ok. I was a little worried about food safety so I had to hear everything again before trying it and at that point I ended up throwing it away after it was pretty much flavorless.

Ok first let me say that I eat Chinese 2-3 times a week and when I showed up I forgot my mask :/ without hesitation they offered a mask and refused to accept my offer for and extra tip for it! Food review was equal too there generosity! I will be back thank you!

Small but clean dining area. Reasonable pricing, food looked and tasted fresh. The location is more less set up for take out and delivery. Several tables, drinks are either bottled or canned. Other than water, no sugar free options, a few diet options, I do not like artificial sweeteners
