    So after reading some of the reviews I was skeptical to try this even though it is close to where I live.  I am glad I did try it - firstly the staff was very transactional at first but once we showed we are nice customers and good patrons they were very friendly.

    Food was really good we got some pot stickers as an appetizer and they were great!  Meal was also very good and tasted fresh with good flavors.  We will definitely go back!

    A solid place to get good Chinese food!

    I tried to make a lunch order (combo F) and substitute General Tso for Sesame Chicken. On the lunch menu they the General Tso is 6.50 and the Sesame Chicken is 6.25. I thought that substitution wouldn't be an issue even if I had to pay an extra 50 cents or so. However, she wanted to charge me an extra 4 dollars to make the substitution. Needless to say I didn't go for that. It's unfortunate because I work less than a mile from this place and they won't be getting my business any time soon.

    Large portions for a small price and with a great taste! The hot and sour soup was flavorful but not as spicy as I would like. I had General Tso's Chicken and, again, it was not as spicy as I would prefer; however, the taste was spot on.

    This is a hole in the wall but one that you need to try!

    Food was terrible and waitress was rude to my son when he went up and asked for water. We were the only family in the restaurant. It was a terrible experience. I will never go Back.

    I've been coming here every year on Christmas eve for as long as I can remember. Since I was a wee lass, and ordered cheeseburgers before I learned to like Chinese. So - this place has a special place in my heart. We always order family style and I always LOVE it (it's also probably the only time per year I eat Chinese food). Mushu pork, sweet and sour chicken, potstickers...it's like amazing, delicious greasy takeout but for Christmas. Amazing! And it's C-H-E-A-P! Last time I went the bill for 8 people was like $50, and we were all STUFFED. Great little place, it's not winning any awards but it gets the job done and has never failed me :)

    Let me clarify - this is not a super nice place. It's a little hole in the wall restaurant that looks like it could use a few more coats of paint. Don't try to impress anyone here, but definitely give them a shot!
