I walk in, the place smells like straight cigarettes. Then I taste my fried rice…tastes smoky with a terrible bitter after taste. Anybody would be able to tell that they don’t care about mixing cigarette air with the food they are cooking. Didn’t eat the rice. Disgusting

Hate to give a bad review this is only based on the Orange chicken, which was not spicy like it used to be more tangy and I do not favor that flavor. Potsticker was okay and crab Rangoon was smaller than before and more crunchy than anything. Owner might have sold or something as nothing was the same.

I ordered this for lunch today, I dont live in the area so this is a first for me. Will def order from here again, the food was great!! Delivery was quick no delays, food was hot likenit came right off the stove. Impressed.Price for lunch specials are fair.

Terrible food....will never eat here again....yuck....go to chan garden....only tried this place cuz chan was closed ...horrible....rate this place a zero....

I haven’t came here in yearrsss! I honestly love their food but unfortunately this time around I was treated very poorly… she gave me attitude right away and attended someone who had entered before me. I thought she said $24 but then she said $34 after I asked her if she gave me the right change… she right away started talking with the cooks extra loud … not sure what her deal was but I will definitely be taking my tip elsewhere and ordering from another location. So not worth keeping a job where you’re going to be bitter.

If it were not Christmas we would leave 1 star - we ordered Christmas evening and the food was not what it has been the previous 25 plus years my husband and I have been ordering take-out from here. So, we tried our go-to Chinese restaurant 3 more times.Granted there are extenuating circumstances with COVID-19, but the orange chicken was undercooked (pink inside); we had to air fry it. The egg roll were considerably smaller and "chewy". The pineapple chicken was also, chewy and stringy. Nothing came with white rice guessing that is additional now.The online ordering said it would be ready at 5:44p; we waited in line outside for 45 minutes. Thankfully, it was unseasonably warm and not an issue.It is very unfortunate since, previously the service and food had been 5-star.

They use to have great fried rice but they changed the way it tasted so I don't buy from there anymore

Good food. I go for the lunch time specials and I love their egg Fu yung

Good food, and nice service!!Love everything

I really like there fried rice, potstickers & teriyaki chicken
