    This place might not look the cleanest, and the old peeling photos of food on the wall don’t look too appetizing but don’t let that scare you away! It’s all about the taste, and the flavours. Super fresh and fantastic! You have to get the chicken balls and fried rice! Also, if you pay cash, its 20% off! Incredible. We will be going back soon!

    Ordered two of these, which are the combination plates "C2". Placed the order over the phone, and the lady was pleasant that answered the phone. Delivery driver was also pleasant. My order was delivered to me hot, fast and fresh. - Rice was very tasty, not too dry, or oily. It was flavored well. - Chicken balls were delicious, has a nice crispy exterior, with a good size piece of chicken in it. - S&S Ribs were okay, but I prefer it to be boneless (for these type of bits and pieces) - Egg Roll was nice as well. Overall, as always....I'm very satisfied with this place because they offer great portion sizes for the price, and food always taste great. I would recommend that you try, if you haven't already. If it wasn't for me to read the reviews of this hidden gem, I wouldn't have tested it out. PS: Good Chinese food places have been closing down, there are only a few left. Help support the great ones such as this one.

    If you didn't know about this place you would drive right by it. Prices and portion sizes are great especially for hungry students in the area. Sweet & sour spare ribs, chicken fried rice chop suey and 3 mini egg rolls. I truly enjoyed my dinner yesterday and will go back later in the week to try another combo.

    Low-key perfect take-out. Quality and fairly priced. Keep this place going. Cash offers in store, call your order in, don't pay the doordash tax. Doesn't have that high gloss sheen that other establishments seem to be putting out there.
