I debated on giving 4 stars due to the drive thru wait time, BUT this place has the best Chinese food around. Whole chunks of white meat chicken, best crab Rangoon ever, food is always hot! Makes the wait time at least worth it. You could always place a call in order too which we started doing.

Great price and lots of food.

For less than 25 bucks I got 3 orders with a side and drink each and a pretty large order of egg drop soupThe food is always delicious!! We forgot to call the order in so we went through the drive through and it took maybe 15 minutes to get HOT fresh food they did have us pull up but I don’t mind doing that at all! Highly recommend

I ordered their Hot and Sour Soup and it was absolutely awful! I couldn't even eat it. Hot and Sour Soup has bamboo shoots, small veggies and it comes with wonton noodles. Their soup had chicken and strange ingredients. I called to be sure they gave me the correct soup and they did. I asked them why they'd put chicken and the other ingredients in that particular soup. His response was "That's how it's made here". Stay AWAY from their Hot and Sour Soup if uve ever had it anywhere else, it will NOT taste the same. It's truly awful.

Don't dine in!!! Terrible service. Really rude and didn't listen to a thing I said. Talking over me multiple times. Rushed us through ordering even when we weren't in a line and just were looking at the menu and hadn't started ordering. Horrible Customer Service. I get you have to be fast but also listen to your customers and don't talk over them. My orange chicken also tasted like the cook was smoking cigarettes over my food. I couldn't even choke it down. I've never had it taste like that. So maybe just a bad day for the cook ha.

Nasty! Ordered cashew chicken. It was pretty much flavorless. Chicken was very chewy to the point I had to check to see if it was raw. I hope it was not. I ate about 5 pieces and threw the rest of a large order away. Place inside is dirty and tables are not cleaned. Probably needs a visit from the health department too.

While normally very good, tonight dog food would have had better flavor. No taste and rubbery chicken in chicken fried rice.

$5 box lunch is always a way to go, it doesn't matter if the whole lot is full with 20 cars in drive thru the wait is faster then McD any day of the week. Food always been good and my kid loves the egg rolls.

Gross!! Waited over 30 min. The person that brought my food was VERY RUDE! And to top it off the cashew chicken sucked

Usually we don’t have a problem here, but tonight was a different story. They conveniently lost our ticket, but not the ones before or after us. After 30 minutes of waiting, I went in and got “sorry, we might have lost the ticket.” After 35 minutes, we FINALLY got our food. Not coming back here again
