1st thing I wanna say is i appreciate this place being the only Chinese restaurant open near my house at 10pm on a Sunday! Interior: the inside of the restaurant isn't much. I wouldn't recommend dining in, the inside has a stench that smells like sewer It makes me sick to my stomach, I almost canceled my order. Also the glass door which is the entrance is shattered and doesn't look safe. Process: I ordered online using their website, I placed my order at 9:30, It was confirmed at 9:31 with a estimated finish time of 9:49. So I showed up at 10pm expecting my food to had been ready but I had to wait an additional 20 minutes. So It took my food an hour to be ready. Which is fine! But don't send me a text at 9:50 saying my order is ready when It in fact isn't and won't be ready for another 30 minutes. That's an issue. Food: I ordered sesame chicken, orange chicken, white rice, egg rolls and fried wontons. The fried wontons and egg rolls didn't have much flavor they just tasted like the oil they were fried in. But everything else was amazing.

Absolute mad house. Took over an hour waiting at the restaurant after calling into get my food. Zero organization - i would not order here just based on the fact that you have no idea when you’re going to get your food - it’s really good food though

I have been hearing about how good this place is since the late 90s. Recently, I finally went for the first (and last) time. I went approximately 3 minutes after opening and there were already 2 customers waiting for food. I placed my order and took a seat. A man came in after me and ordered a bowl of soup. His order (obviously) was up almost immediately. As he turned to leave, he remembered he forgot to order a drink. He asked the female employee for a coke, as he proceeded to get his wallet out and remove cash. The male and female employees kept telling him his soup did not come with a drink. The man kept repeating he understood that and he was trying to buy a drink now. Remember, he is standing there with cash in hand to pay for the drink. But the employees would only repeat his soup did not come with a drink, would not sell him a drink and would only give him a cup of water. He accepted it much more graciously than I would have. Language barrier or not, it is obvious that if someone is asking for a beverage and they have wallet and cash in hand, they are trying to pay for it! That whole scenario left a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended). On to the food: I ordered sesame chicken which as I have always understood it, is suppose to be white meat chicken. It was not. It was dark meat and if I had wanted dark meat, I would have ordered General Tso's. The sesame chicken was very dry and the meat tough. I honestly believe it was leftovers and reheated but can't prove it. The egg rolls tasted like any egg roll you'd get from basically any Americanized Chinese restaurant. The garlic chicken was a massive letdown! I have always loved this dish but this was the worst I've ever had. It was 80% rice, 19.5% mixed veggies and 0.5% tasteless chicken. There was like literally 3 or 4 tiny, pitiful slivers of chicken in the whole container. I had to go rooting around through the veggies to find any. All in all, a complete waste of money and as I said, I won't be back. My business won't be missed though because as I left with my bag of "food", there were already about 10 customers in line to order. Not sure what they are selling there that is so popular, but it's definitely not the sesame or garlic chicken.

Best Chinese take out in town. This has long been our family go to spot. Always tasty, always fast.

Great place for late night eats. My husband and I shared the mooshu pork and had leftovers.

This is the best chinese place I have ever been to. I order takeout from this establishment regularly! The people are nice too, although a little difficult to understand. My order is always right, and they charge fairly! Would recommend this place to anyone.

The food was over cooked. The sesame chicken and the fried tofu were too hard to eat.

I love this place. I’ve only ever ordered the orange tofu but it’s just so good I can’t bring myself to stray. The tofu is so crispy and way better than any other Chinese takeout place around here in my opinion. Hard to stay away!
I ordered lg Shrimp and cashews. Of course it has veggies mixed in and I'm sure they skimp on the shrimp on purpose. I'll accept that. But this? All of that is celery.

One of Raleighs best Chinese take out! Will always be a loyal patron!

I recently stopped here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch special which was only $7! It will easily last me 2 meals. The service was also fairly good, he was easy to understand :) I will definitely be stopping by again.

Literally has never disappointed me! I really dislike tofu, but I will get the seasame tofu here everytime, it's that good! Best little gem in all of Raleigh!

This is one of my favorite places when I was in college. We would go here all the time because of the cost and the amount of food you would you. To be honest, it is still the same as it was then. This is one of those that places that you go for quick, unhealthy, Chinese food. If you are looking for the new trendy healthy food, this ain't the place. This is the place where the college kids can go and get a good meal for their money. This visit we got: fried Tofu with General Tso sauce, fried rice, spring roll and chicken wings Everything was hot and fresh. The order was correct as ordered and nothing was a miss. I would recommend awaiting a few mins before eating the tofu, at first it is somewhat really hard because of the frying process. After a few mins, once it cooled down - it was soft and tasty. Now, they have a "shield" up to meet the COVID protocol. The man at the register didn't have a mask on, but again he was behind the "shield". They would pass the bag to you once your food was completed via a "door" within the "shield" .
