“The food is incredible I come here all the time, especially after work! The food is filling and affordable and leaves me feeling satisfied and comfortable! The orange chicken is my favorite!”
“Food is fantastic here with reasonable prices. We mostly order for take out since we live a little far but the drive is worth it. Fried rice is not too saucy and tastes very authentic. The spicy chicken wings are so good along with orange chicken. I’d recommend this place.”

“I’m picky about American Chinese food, and this place is my current favorite. The meat is good quality, the vegetables are fresh and cooked just right. Nothing that I’ve tried has been bland.”
“China Hut is our go to place for quick and basic Chinese - but take “basic” with a grain of salt because their menu is extensive. The wonton soup is our family’s favorite of all the places we’ve tried: great wontons plus lots of extra meat and cabbage in it. Other favorites are the moo shu pork and Szechuan eggplant (try it with chicken!).”
“The food and staff are wonderful! They keep us coming back! They are very accommodating with dietary restrictions You can’t go wrong with the Kung pao tofu”
