I love this place! Most people take their food to go. Parking is on a very busy, public main street. When you walk in you would probably want to walk right out. The dining area is small and could use a serious upgrade. Floors and chairs are usually dirty. The chairs and the only two tables in the dining area are small. Wallpaper is worn down and the window front looks like it has not been cleaned in years. However, this is one of those places where looks can be deceiving.Unfortunately, they had a hard time keeping drivers so they don't deliver anymore. They have great prices for the food portions. Probably one of the best prices around. Their food is very good. They're rice is okay. It's the typical yellow, fried rice most Chinese restaurants in our area serve, with very little vegetables in the rice and no eggs.They have a more extensive appetizer menu than most. I love that they have some Spanish appetizers, such as boquitas and fried sweet plantains. My favorite items to get here are there bourbon chicken, chicken wings, soups, fried scallops, spare ribs, chicken fingers, beef teriyaki, any of their broccoli dishes, and egg rolls. I usually ask for extra bourbon sauce on the bourbon chicken so that it's not too dry. It's flavorful and grilled perfectly. They make their own egg rolls. I like to get them in large quantities to snack on for a couple days. Most egg rolls in the area are frozen, store bought, and are filled mostly with cabbage. Theirs are filled with cabbage and lots of minced BBQ spare ribs meat. I also like their fried sugar donuts. They remind me of minnie fried dough bites, except they're softer. Their fried apple sticks are good when they're crispy and covered in cinnamon sugar. I ordered them once and it was chewy and soft and did not have any cinnamon sugar on them. It had a very doughy flavor. Most of their lunch and dinner combinations are good. Overall, I recommend. My rating is based on the quality of food and not their dining area or location.

I ordered food from there yesterday and 2 of my family members got sick. My son was throwing up and my husband has an upset stomach going to the bathroom. I won't order from there again.

I have disabilities that vary in severity and decided I needed food delivery as I was hungry and not doing well mobility-wise. there's a delivery fee plus tip, which added close to $15 but i needed the service. they called to confirm and i stressed to push my apt. # with gusto so I could be sure to hear. they said they'd call once they arrived. the driver comes, calls, but expects me to come to the front door and retrieve my order from him - an impossible task at this time and why I'm paying for delivery in the 1st place! No mention on the phone that even tho I'm paying a delivery fee plus tip, they expected me to retrieve it! so, I'm tipping the driver to go from his vehicle to my building??? i'm paying nearly $15 to not get delivery??? he said he couldn't come inside. it's not a dangerous building, covid is past, and my order is out of my reach. they should have mentioned this completely unfair and unkind practice. not everyone can walk and carry pkgs at the same time. do better. i went hungry and they were out the time and food that had been prepared for me.

Im about a 15 minute drive from here and its well worth it everytime. The food is always fresh, delicous and def hits. Its my personal favorite spot, perfect for any ocassion. Plus i never got sick from the food here like other spots in town. Not sure why the bad reviews and dont let the rough edges of the appearance throw you off, the food is made clean and sanitary.10/10 would recommend!

Been going around Springfield looking for a good chinese spot to replace my last spot and Discount didn't disappoint. They have the best Boneless spare ribs in the city and it keeps me coming back.

One thing about this restaurant they don't clean their chicken wings. The chicken wings always have feathers on them. They need to change their oil often.

Delicious food. But sometimes little too salty. Curry chicken is delicious, curry shrimp is fantastic

I wish I could rate this place A little higher based on the fact that they have the Holy Grail of appetizers Fried Fish Rib Tips and Well cooked wings.I could make a fortune on that alone but they are missing the big picture. The place is filthy , Dirty floors walls equipment. On the upside the girl at the window on my first visit was articulate polite and intelligent The young man on my second visit seemed tight and ready for conflict probably based on location and past experiences but that doesn't exclude the fact that right across the street is a college and that means high traffic. If the owners clean up this filthy mess they could be among the best. But now it's just as Wu-Tang says. It's just an old dirty Chinese Restaurant. Typical Asian fare.
