My FAVORITE Chinese restaurant!!! I always go here to get Chinese food!!! No better place!!! When I do try other places, I get heavily disappointed!!! But here...NEVER!!! Food is always cooked perfectly and tastes AMAZING!!! I vary on what I get!!! Sometimes I get the Moo Goo Gia Pan!!! Sometimes I get the Shrimp Lo Mein!!! Sometimes I will order the cashew chicken, sesame chicken, pineapple chicken or the sweet and sour shrimp and/or chicken!!! Always the steamed rice!!! My husband always gets the General Tso Chicken with fried rice, no onions!!! Their doughnuts are amazing!!! Try the dumplings and egg drop soup!!! Those are always a good choice!!!

We've been ordering here for atleast a year now, and I've developed a bit of a soft spot for one of the delivery guys, he's always very sweet and polite, however the last 2 times we've ordered I noticed the sweet and sour chicken doesn't quite taste right. Almost like a corn tortillas. And my boyfriend got sick last time.

Been ordering here for a few months, and suddenly today a new lady answered the phone and said they don't deliver here and they never have delivered here. They told me they do not have ginger sauce, even though it's posted on their website and we always order it. Idk if they got new management or ownership or what, but the service, or lack of service sent me to another place. Food here is usually good, if you can get them to actually deliver it.

We use to visit weekly, but month by month saw the price increase to a point that now makes going a poor investment. We enjoyed the food, with only an occasional time where it was off in taste a bit. Use to be a lot of food for the price, but not so anymore. Two people will be almost $20 which is too much for veggies and noodles.

The food was not good and they have everything blocked off so you can't tell if things are clean or not.

I ordered 60 dollars worth of food and didn't get the the dish that made me choose this restaurant and it took over an hour but I could care less about the time more about the fact that I paid 12 dollars for the dish and when I called the next day she said I had to call that night when I received the food. Well that's kind of difficult when you order the food for your kids because You have plans and they don't mark any of their damn dishes so the general TSO chicken looked and tasted just like the seaseme chicken the only thing that made it different was the slight spiciness on ur tongue. I called spoke to some lady and all she did was repeat over and in over and over again like a broken record we make 2 honey chicken same time one for to you one go to other place. Well that great and dandy but the honey chicken NEVER MADE IT THROUGH MY DOORWAY LADY no refund no sorry she could have cared less oh and all of us have upset stomach too me not as much Because I didn't eat the spicy one

The worst chinese food I've ever had, rangoons were the only thing I ate they were cold when I walked out the door and the cashew chicken looked like something I expressed out of meI've got a pound of breading from sweet and sour chicken and just as much from cashew chickenWhat a waste of $30 never againI didnt want to post any stars but had to to comment

I placed an order online for delivery and after the subtotal, tax and the delivery fee was all added the total was $18.64. They tried to charge $21.64 on my card for a tip. You don’t just add your own tip, tips are not mandatory. I always tip in cash if the service is good. Then I called they said they don’t deliver unless you tip and if you don’t put a tip on there they take they own tip.

One of the best Chinese places in Independence, everything is perfect every time we take out!! :)

Fresh flavorful Chinese! The rice is cooked perfectly and the service is good and fast. One of the best chinese takeouts I have ordered from.
