Wish I had read the reviews before ordering lunch specials. Worst Kung Pao Chicken and General Tso's ever. Chicken was like salty pieces of dried out shoe leather. Live and learn I guess. Never again.

This is by far and away the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The boneless spare ribs taste gamey like it's made from road kill, and that's only 20% of what you eat, the other 80% is fat. The egg roll I got with my lunch special was a shrimp egg roll. When has that ever been shrimp without a request or paying more? Pork is expected, it always has been. Also it was mushy at best, nowhere near crispy. The pork fried rice is white rice coated in soy sauce with itty bitty shreds of pork, like bacon bits but less appetizing. It's sour and not savory at all, no vegetables, little to no effort put into it. The worst, however, is the General Tso's chicken. First, it's a color that I've never seen before. It's like they added a packet of hot sauce with a packet of duck sauce. And it too is very sour, not sweet at all, not spicy at all. The chicken pieces are very small and hidden under clumps of breading, and I think the chicken I got may have gone bad because one bite tasted like straight up fish. That's when I put the fork down. I've had some not-so-good Chinese in my day, but I have never had to stop eating it. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

I ordered thru Grabhub, food was 15 minutes late. Plate that had scallops, I still can't find them, food was cold. No sauces, nor silverware were supplied. Driver drove onto my grass Flavor was lacking additionally there were no Chinese cookies, my kids were very disappointed

The food here is good but delivery is always at least an hour and a half. I placed an order last night at 6:18 and the expected delivery time was 7:18. My food did not arrive until almost 8:00. The girl answering the phone is not helpful at all. She did not apologize or explain the delay. This has happened every time I’ve ordered from this restaurant.

This spot is worth a visit. They have large portions for fair rates. Constantly well kept and with excellent character. Will come visit again.

The general Tso’s chicken was so well done that none of the pieces could be chewed, and the no glaze from the general sauce. Almost dry.

I ordered food online from this restaurant, and when I got there to pickup, the lady was behind plastic and not wearing a mask. She proceeded to walk around the plastic and put the food on table for me to take. NO MASK ON HER!!!!! The food actually was very good, but I will never go back because of the no mask wearing.

Had a delivery on Feb. 1, 2021 during the heavy snowstorm. Called to find out about how long it would be as the delivery was late, but it was definitely worth the wait. The food tasted fresh and well made. The driver even yelled to me an apology for the lateness of the delivery and was very friendly. I would order from them many times again in the future. Another Satisfied Customer. ?????

Really bad food. Undercooked rice (how do you mess up rice?), Overcooked chicken completely dried out. Very disappointed. Uber eats gave it 4.3 stars, I'm assuming they messed up, because it can't possibly be for this restaurant. Also, felt like a very shady place to walk into.Definitely not recommending or going there again.

The general Tso’s chicken was so well done that none of the pieces could be chewed, and the no glaze from the general sauce. Almost dry.Items in the pu pu platter had batter dripping instead of crispy fried.How can it come out of the fryer and the batter is still dripping?!?So now we’re still hungry.I am very disappointed.I’m attaching pictures but they don’t tell the story. The chicken might look good but too hard to chew.

They used to be a good place to get food... But of late they are terrible... Food is salty and raw... We threw the food out. They need to correct this problem or else we won't be getting food from them anymore.
