Very run down Chinese spot. If your hungry, sure stop and get some food. I got the "lunch special" which I asked for fried rice and still received white rice. I wouldn't order them again but like I said if your hungry sure. Just nothing special in my opinion.
It is a great little place. For reasons I will not go into I had to eat broth and soup for a month. I went in asking what had the most broth in it. The lady helped me and made several different kinds of soup in a way I could eat them. I was going to go round the bend if i had to eat the same canned broth again. They really, really helped me when i needed it
They were kind to deliver to the hospital to a sick friend. I'll go back because of that. Also, she enjoyed the food
I think the food is great! The service is good. I don’t know why people are complaining about it. Yes, the girl doesn’t smile or talk a lot. But do you expect her to? As someone who grew up with Chinese parents and worked at a small family business and I can tell she’s working for her family. I asked her and she said she’s in 10th grade. This kid is still in tenth grade while carrying this job. And she probably doesn’t get paid because it’s a family business. If you guys think your life is so hard because a waiter didn’t greet you with a smile then leave. Honestly, she does what she needs to do. She just asked me for my order and gave me my order. No problems. She does her job. 🤷🏻♀️Anyways, loved the food! They also have many choices! There’s a lot of vegetarian dishes for people!
I ordered General tsos chicken and fried rice. The rice was dry and lukewarm and the chicken was basically just hot sauce. It tasted like how a petting zoo smells. This place is trash, don't go there unless you like trash
This place is pretty standard as far as Chinese takeout spots go. The food is decent and the prices are okay as well. I don't know what people are expecting when they critique this place for having a middle/high school aged cashier that isn't welcoming. They are a child, of course they don't want to be spending their after school free time working. Legally the minimum age to work in PA is fourteen, however, many takeout restaurants are family-owned and operated which means that compliance with child labor laws might not be regulated. It's a pretty decent Chinese food place, just order with reasonable intentions and don't be mean to the cashier.
I got the King Pao Chicken with fried rice. The rice smelled old, like it had been stored for a while before cooking it. The rice may have been fried but they forgot to add peas, carrots, eggs, and whatever else goes in it. Service was prompt and just “business”, not rude or overly friendly, just a transaction, which I actually prefer cause I hate meaningless small talk. I’ll probably go again and give em another shot, aside from the rice I have no complaints.
Gotta be honest, not a ton of flavor in the General Tso's. Redeeming factors are that it was super fast, came out hot, and if you get the large, there's enough for lunch the next day
