No fooling food. Reasonable prices. Low drama.I got a menu that didn't have prices updated so my dinner ended up being 30% more than I expected. But even then, not unreasonable.Waitress (manager) was very very busy. They do far more takeout than dine in, so its sometimes hard to tell what she's working on when the dining room is modestly populated. But we were in no hurry. We walked in and sat down. Far better than the 30 minute wait amid total bedlam we faced across the street.There was absolutely nothing wrong with the food--and, in spite of how it may sound, that is a tremendous compliment.The decor is workmanlike. Sufficient. Comfortable. Expensive wallpaper and high prices has little appeal for me.We've been here before and were equally satisfied. Need to move this higher on our goto list.

This was my first time here and will be my last! Customer service was great! That was the only thing that was. The place smells of sewage… the fried rice, I had to spit out it was disgusting! I ordered a beef dish because I felt that was the least likely to make me sick and I didn’t even eat that. I left my entire dish uneaten… do NOT eat here! Where is the health inspector? Btw, I’m serve safe certified and have been in the food service business for 28 years. If it hadn’t been for my boyfriend, I would have left just due to the smell of the place alone and not ordered food..

I got vegetables beef and fried rice for lunch for 8$ which also included one side dish and soup of your choice. The food tasted great- just like any other Chinese restaurants. I’m specifically impressed with the lunch menu price!
