My Neice, Sheryl Alexander, and I have been customer's for years, Food is great. We are glad you're back open.
I would recommend the orange chicken it is softly made sweet and always fresh.
They take CC now, Take out only. Egg rolls shrunk not cool. But Still good prices and great service and owners.
I love the food here i always went even as a little girl with my mom and grandma.

“They are take out only since Covid and that’s ok.”
They are take out only since Covid and that’s ok. It’s hard for businesses . Ate here as a kid and as an adult I had forgot how amazing they are . The chkn fried rice was so darn tasty, I asked for my Szechuan veggies well done soft; they cooked em perfect and cut small to ensure this, and the egg rolls hit the spot. I was so happy with this meal and was okay with every penny I spent. (Not to mention they were nice enough to share enough sweet n sour and soy )

The food was absolutely delicious and they had more than a few options that aren't typically available at similar Chinese restaurants. We ordered the Yet Ca Main soup, Pork Hong Sue, Szechuan Sliced Beef, and Potstickers. The amount and quality of food for the price is incredible! Glad we found this gem that's apparently been around for ages! My favorite was probably the soup which was light and flavorful with extremely tender pieces of beef 👍

I’ve been eating at this place since my babies were 6 and 8 years old, and they’re now 30 and 32. One of the best Chinese food restaurants on the Southside. I miss the dine in option but it’s fine.

“They did not have signs saying that is only take out or delivery.”
They did not have signs saying that is only take out or delivery. We parked and paid for parking for 2 vehicles and when we go in we seen no dine in anymore i asjed since when and she kept brushing it off and was rude.

This place has been open for over 40 years. It’s really good. It’s sad that they never opened the inside. Only takeout. I would recommend this place.
