“Very good Chinese food for price and quantity.”

Very good Chinese food for price and quantity. I love their vegetarian pan fried dumplings and they have the best chili oil. You can never go wrong with their noodles and the folks are very nice to remove anything and substitute items out.

“Orange chicken was a mistake & the rice just wasn't hitting the spot.”

Orange chicken was a mistake & the rice just wasn't hitting the spot. Not to mention where's the veggies in the chicken fried rice? Would i get it again. No. But the eggroll was interesting. Wasn't that bad. Also yeah drinks don't come with your meal even if your order a *dinner* ..

i ordered two strawberry smoothies today and on our way home the person i was with told me a hair just came out of his straw as he was drinking it. i decided to check mine and it had a hair in the drink as well. at first i thought it might be outside the cup but i moved it with the straw and it was indeed inside. we both felt disgusted. we’ve ordered their smoothies on multiple occasions and never had this issue. on top of that the guy that took our order looked like he had an attitude. terrible experience this time.

“This was a huge mistake I haven't purchased from them in years.”

This was a huge mistake I haven't purchased from them in years. Their food was very good years ago. So I decided to give them a try again because my regular Chinese food restaurant is closed on Monday's. This place charges for absolutely everything, 2.00 for green onions in dishes. The fried chicken was not fresh, it was old, and the bone was brown and looked dried out VERY OLD . I will NEVER eat from this restaurant again. The quality of the food is terrible. The vegetables were soggy and overcooked, and the shrimp looked and tasted like they came out of a can. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this place.

Small Chinese restaurant, I ordered shrimp fried rice was ok needed like bit spicy i asked for some shiracha they want to charge me for it. Dining in restaurants you provide all needs for you food taste better one star for that and I tip them 20%

I have been ordering from this place for years now and unfortunately 1 incident will completely stop me from ever spending money here. A roach in my chicken dinner! I’ve been giving this business money at least once a week for 7 years now but some things comes to and end and a roach in my food is a big one.

“The dinner doesn't come with a drink.”

The dinner doesn't come with a drink. Orange chicken was the worst I've had. Definitely has potential to be good but currently "No". The price is too much for the portions. I've been to Chinese restaurants that have bigger portions and better tasting orange chicken at the same price.
