Great Chinese place carry out only. One of the best parts is you can get the lunch and dinner specials on the weekend also. I’ve been going here for a long time and highly recommend it.

Super sweet and awesome service. The food is amazing. We are from Minneapolis and we are happy to find a restaurant w/amazing service and a family atmosphere. We spent more than $30 and got free crab Rangoon. Talk about a great deal! The portions are great. Come here and enjoy some yummy food.

I’ve bingo there since 2008 until today. I never go to different restaurant because I know this restaurant is very good and the food is delicious and very nice service and the price is not very expensive.

I’m not sure what some of these people are talking about with their claims of inconsistent quality in food, this place is consistently Incredible. Food is always cooked fresh To order in a reasonable amount of time. I feel like some of the lower ratings are just haters because they look anomalous compared to the rest of the ratings, but you should definitely check it out for yourself and decide. P.s. I placed an order for pick up and I did not realize they closed at 8:30. It’s 835 and I was five minutes away. They were nice enough to call me and see and make sure I’m coming for the food. Great service.

Gen Hoe is a quality family-run Chinese takeout restaurant. While you can dine in, there's really no reason to unless you're stopping in from far away. That aside, the food is generally good, minus a few menu items, and the portions compared to price make it well worth it.
