I just love this place, Everything is so flavorful and not greasy. People usually think of this kind of food as being a more heavy feeling after eating but they do it without that. I have been tired of fast food but realized too late tonight that I forgot to get the rest of what I needed to make dinner so this was the perfect solution and it was just as good and fresh feeling as the first time we ordered from here. Once you try them, nothing else comes close in comparison. The staff here is really friendly and genuine as well!
Excellent displays of fresh hot food. Great Customer Service. Lots of places to sit down and eat. Best Fruit display in the whole city. Kind support staff.

Great food and great atmosphere. Have gone there many times and always enjoyed our meal.
Don't let the exterior fool you. Everything here is wonderful. It is family run. I especially like the mu shu pork. Service is personal and accommodating.

I have been eating here since I was thirteen in 1993. I cannot believe it's been 30 years!Marylin will remember you.When I'm under the weather, I have to have their hot and sour soup to bring me back to feeling myself again. Their Crab Rangoon is not hown my family used to make it but secretly, I liked Yen Ching's better and their combination of sweet sauce and hot mustard is delicious. Their Steamed Dumplings are my meal. My significant other always gets their Sesame Chicken.I adore their family. They are hardly ever closed!!! I do not know any other people who serve their community more. Marilyn deserves a street named after her or a statue. She has been a staple before and after my parents had a restaurant in town. She is a DeKalb icon.
Truly enjoyed the experience. The food service and the owner is a wonderful person who is great to visit with !

I've been going here ever since I was little (I've always loved their egg drop soup) and never once have I had a sub-par experience. Their food is so, so good and Marilyn and her staff are so friendly and have such a positive impact on your experience here. I never caught her name but we had a lovely, lovely server last night and we still can't get over just how amazingly nice, funny, and friendly she was. She made our night out extra amazing! Best Chinese food I've ever had.
We order the same thing every single time.. cashew chicken, orange chicken, fried rice.. I would have given 5 stars because sometimes it's AMAZING.. but removed a star because sometimes the food is bland and filled with more cabbage and celery than actual chicken or cashews. $50 is a lot to pay for inconsistency.
