“on a Sunday night with cruddy weather and heavy traffic , I’m grateful to be able to place an order online and have hot delicious food delivered in 1 hour”
Haven't eaten there yet but I heardthe egg rolls are amazing....
This place is seriously amazing. Possibly some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had.
My favorite dish to eat-in is the Moy Lee Special which has mounds of pan-fried noodles topped with an assortment of vegetables and chicken, BBQ pork and shrimp in a light sauce.
This restaurant is divine... The service is excellent and the food exquisite and delicious.
First off, I don't write reviews. Ordered delivery.
We ordered the chicken fried rice, Kung Pao Chicken, chicken Lo Mein, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon, but unfortunately, everything was just ok at best.
I thought the food would have been good since I was recommended… but honestly it wasn’t the chicken is a little too hard I can’t even chew it and orange chicken sauce tastes watery.

“first off I have no idea where some of these negative reviews are coming from and they are clearly too harsh.”
first off I have no idea where some of these negative reviews are coming from and they are clearly too harsh. Our family have been customers for years and have yet to be disappointed. The portions are more than adequate , the quality of the ingredients have never disappointed, and the service has always been prompt and impeccable. Having said that , you reap what you sow. We are always kind and generous to this hard-working staff... intern they have been the same with us for almost a decade. If you treat others like a whiny, impetuous child, then you may receive lackluster products and services. Given that this is a small family business that feel economic pinches much harder than large restaurant chains, I’m not going to pay that much attention to the harsher reviews regarding portions. For reference, the photo shows the leftovers after a very generous dinner for two. There were nearly 2 pounds of high-quality shrimp and freshly cooked vegetables in this huge container with more than six huge, full wings in the other. We were absolutely stuffed and it was absolutely delicious. on a Sunday night with cruddy weather and heavy traffic , I’m grateful to be able to place an order online and have hot delicious food delivered in 1 hour.

“Was looking for a great egg roll and this spot popped up.”
Was looking for a great egg roll and this spot popped up. GINORMOUS egg rolls that were what I was looking for, filled with pork and shrimp! The hot and sour soup is the best I’ve had in years. The Oriental Express was also good, but too many pea pods, and they’re bitter(I think naturally) but I LOVE the mushroom variety in it! Excited to try other items! Wish the restaurant posted more photos of dishes.

“Ordered the lunch combination for $7.95.”
Ordered the lunch combination for $7.95. First off super happy they offer lunch on Saturdays! Secondly, it came with pork fried rice, pork egg roll (which is HUGE) and the pork egg foo young.

“Fried rice is fantastic, but that’s it.”
Fried rice is fantastic, but that’s it. Chicken with pea pods is meh. Pot stickers are too doughy.

Foods good as long as they don't forget an item,or if they give you a wonton with no filling. I think I will only order the egg rolls from here on out.

“Disgusting!!! Zero stars!!!! This place is gone way way way downhill for a long time!!! don't waste...”
Disgusting!!! Zero stars!!!! This place is gone way way way downhill for a long time!!! don't waste your time or money! Specifically, I ordered the Hawalian chicken. It arrived in a gelatinous glue for the sauce. The chicken itself was overcooked and burnt. I've lived in this area for a long time and I can't believe how bad this place has become. It's such a disappointment. Also when a restaurant has the policy of no refunds and no exchanges on food, it tells you that there's more of a problem there than a one off order. That means they're typically serving garbage and don't wanna stand behind their products at all. Apparently a lot of people are complaining that's why they have this policy so, again save your time and money. Don't eat here!!! Don't order delivery!!! Don't order anything save your time and money!!!

Omg I just ordered pad Thai because I didn’t want to travel in traffic to my usual spot, and I regret so much that I didn’t sent in traffic. That was by far thee worse Chinese food I’ve eaten in my 38 years of living on this earth.

As we were eating we found hair in food and called them about it and their responds was that they don’t fix issues with food or refund. And they said it’s their policy and we went and nothing was posted. Their responds was that if hair bothered us just to take it out and eat the rest of rice. Person who Answered was super rude. My mouth dropped with their answer. Went in and they do not wear hair nets
