It was our first time here. It wasn't busy at 11:30. They have lunch specials Monday through Friday. The paper menu has no description of the dishes on the menu. It's typical Chinese fare. I ordered the cashew chicken with egg drop soup and fried rice. She ordered the sweet and sour chicken. The egg drop soup was good. The fried rice was a typical brown steamed rice with no vegetables in it. The egg roll wasn't very good. We don't know why. The sweet and sour chicken was just fried tempura chicken with a few pieces of pineapple chunks and a red sweet sauce on the side. There was nothing to make it sour like peppers or something. The cashew chicken that I ordered was covered in a brown sauce. There were plenty of cashews, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and napa cabbage? The chicken was hard to find because it was cut into little cube-like pieces beneath all of that brown sauce. Sadly, this dish could have used some color and taste from red or green peppers, broccoli, something...

Lovely restaurant great service from waitress and owner even stopped by the table for a chat. Pen is gracious and cares about her 2 restaurants and it really shows..even has live plants, that shows extra effort. Food was delicious, we had pot stickers and crispy fried chicken appetizers, and hot and sour soup , and beef low mein. A pot of hot tea. I will be back.

You know, I used to really liked this place, but I’ll NEVER eat here again.My nana, who’s the sweetest person I know, is hearing impaired and always does her best to communicate with everyone, even those who struggle to understand her. She can read lips very well and speaks very impressively. She sets an example of how to treat other’s with respect and compassion. Yet, it seems that not everyone will reciprocate this.You see, we sometimes send her up there to pick up our lunch whenever we’re busy and this has never been a problem before, but a very disrespectful lady from here called my mom today and told her that we need to stop sending our nana up there because of she “couldn’t communicate well enough.”This is very disheartening and I almost want to cry knowing that no matter how hard the deaf community tries to make adjustments in order to communicate to the hearing, that there’s some jerks out there that are too lazy to write a simple damn note on a piece of paper if it’s really that difficult!!

The lady working the drive thru is awful. She should work in the back with her nasty additive. She has a problem with disabled people. She said my mom shouldn't come pick up a order since she can't communicate. I have never in my life saw and witnessed this behavior from anyone in customer service.

My daughter and I had the sweet and sour chicken .. The rice was bland and the breading on the Chicken was hard .. .. And why they don't let you have wonton soup instead of egg drop soup is beyond me.. You can only get it as carry out.... The waitress was very friendly and outgoing..

I ordered the Mangolian Beef with fried rice. The meat was good but the rice was horrible. I feel it was old rice and not how fried rice should be. It was simply white rice with a dash of soy sauce on it. It ruined what could have been a wonderful meal. I was so upset with the sloppy rice that I couldn't enjoy fully. What a shame.

I can't get anyone to answer the phone. I normally don't have a problem. I like the food but please answer the phone.
