Great spot! Food is always fresh, flavorful and consistent. Portions are solid, prices are fair and the staff is quick and friendly. Also perfect for catering, everything came hot and packed well. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a quick snack after a flight. A couple egg rolls and a Sapporo hit the spot!

A favorite since 2006! This week Mon Lung catered our office's Lunar New Year lunch for 50 people and it got raving reviews! It feels high end for such a cozy spot! Great ingredients, large portions, and friendly staff that was easy to work with. A must stop spot when I'm in the neighborhood!

Tried this Chinese restaurant recently and ordered the Broccoli Beef and Kung Pao Chicken. Both were flavorful, but the Broccoli Beef stood out, it had a great tender beef and broccoli in a savory sauce. The Kung Pao Chicken was fine, though not as memorable. We went during lunch and got their lunch special, which is a solid deal. It includes your entrée, fried rice, and one big egg roll, definitely enough to fill you up. The inside of the restaurant is quite small with limited seating, so it seems like most people opt for takeout. Not the place for a dine-in experience, but a good option if you’re looking for a quick and satisfying Chinese takeout meal.

Great place for takeout, not much allure for dining in. The meals are great, picture below is the sesame chicken which was all white meat and the beef and broccoli which was very tender. I would pass on the appetizers: the crab ragoons had almost no filling at all and the egg rolls had a very sweet after taste that we didn’t care for.

It was a very disappointing portion for the Orange chicken lunch special. For the price you can add more rice if you won’t add more Orange chicken. The sauce was overwhelming and the egg roll was plain. I also ordered pot stickers, they were not good and plain. For the price it was not worth it.

Hello this was my first time eatting at this spot. It was okay but the orange chicken wasn’t the best, it was not spicy at all, tasted like ginger. Also the crab Rangoon’s were not good at all. There was just all air on the inside. I wish they had filling inside of them. Super disappointed 😔 hopefully they can do better next time.

The driest orange chicken I’ve ever tasted. Lo mein had no flavor either. Would not recommend!!! Also $5 surprise delivery fee when it says online free delivery.

They have the best egg rolls I've ever had. The sesame chicken is like savory funnel cake chicken covered by the perfect amount of sauce. Homer Simpson would love this place.. Thank you Mon Lung!
