Honestly, I was almost put off by some of the reviews on here. However, even after reading some of the bad ones I figured I would give it a try. Honestly, this place is great. The staff was very friendly both over the phone and when I picked my food up. On top of this, the food is also very good. The white rice that I got with my chicken was some of the best white rice I’ve ever had from a Chinese restaurant. Overall this is a great place! If you are thinking you want some Chinese food that has a good price and great quality fairly quickly, this place is definitely worth your money.

Called me to tell me grubhub didn’t have any drivers and then called me back to place my order over the phone, so they can deliver it. Thank you so much for your amazing service today!

The building is a little run down. That restaurant has been in that location forever. And the register is outdated. It's easier on everybody if you do the math before ordering. They've miscalculated my total twice now. I never make a fuss about it but it's worrying and stressful for our society nowadays. The food has been absolutely delicious. And the last time we ate-in the presentation and the effort made to make us(me and my daughter) comfortable was amazing.
