“The kid at the window is nice. A little monotone, but he can take a large order by ear and is attentive to detail.
The food is good. We have a pretty big family of picky eaters, but they never complain about Chinese when we get it from here.
There is no dine-in seating; this restaurant is currently take-out only. Some seats while you wait, but otherwise bring it home.
Overall, our first pick for take-out Chinese for sure.”

The chair leg broke and the gentleman fell on the floor. The only people to check on him were the other patrons. No one came to see if he was hurt or the see if he needed another chair...NOTHING!! The waitress came by to give them their bill and asked how he was and that was it. I was upset for the gentleman and the family. They handled the situation with grace. If a family is in the customer service industry, take care of your customers.”
