Good Chinese takeout I used to live in this area I have family that still do wanted some Chinese tried the other one not even a block away which stays open later by far this one is Absolutely Better did the typical American take out fried scallops/pork fried rice steamed pork dumplings and beef noodle soup mei fun "thin noodles/rice vermicelli" Scallops nicely fried crispy outside nice juicy scallops inside fried rice pretty much on point "photo of scallops does not look abundant or the container looks half empty" but it is just 10 scallops they can only fill the container so much Beef noodle soup broth nothing spectacular but it was seasoned well enough no complaints "but I have had better those places were known for noodle soups tho"Also like the fact they separated the noodles/beef/veg and Broth granted I'm legit 4 min walk away but it's a nice touch soggy noodles never fun to eat +1 to them Steamed pork dumplings Nice BIG dumplings filled with very well seasoned meat I like it on the chewy side hence steamed some might not like the texture of the dumpling being chewy but again I personally like it that way so might be bias here dumpling sauce is dumpling sauce it store bought I have it at home but I think they tweaked theirs a bit maybe ginger I tasted some type of spice to it nothing overpowering just an observation This is my 3rd time ordering from them this day this was the order but my previous orders were Chicken wings pork fried rice Hot and sour soupWonton egg drop soup Chicken broccoli pork fried rice Beef mixed veg Don't have pics of these previous orders but pretty much on point also The hot and sour probably only issue I have for me I like mine to be on the thicker side theirs were a little thin soup wise but taste wise it was like any good Chinese take out so pound per pound if you are the area and looking for Chinese this is the better choice of the 2 that is nearby But don't expect to eat inside the place is not ready/capable of dine in there is a very small table more for just sitting and waiting for take out eating would be a challenge pictures taken about 11 min after picking up the food

I like the steak & chicken combo but I wish they weren't stingy with the steak & grilled chicken. Very friendly staff. Just wouldn't recommend their Chinese part because their fried rice is less than desirable.

I ordered dumplings on new years and it was... I don't know what it was. Zero stars

This is the best spot for Chinese food - their garlic sauce is amazing. The ingredients are always fresh, and cooked just right. Everything is amazing and priced reasonably.

I ordered 2 entrees... Chicken with garlic sauce which is normal, however, the chicken chow mein is stupid... To the general public, a chow mein is either pan fried noodle or stir fried noodle with some veg and a protein. To this restaurant, it's a tasteless starchy sauce with napa, bean sprout, shredded chicken... and coming with a white rice and a bag of those crunchy snack noodle... I scratched my head once I opened the bag... I know that they couldnt solve the problem, but I still called the restaurant asking them if they are truly Chinese because to all Chinese, Chow mein means noodle and not rice... of course, they have no answer for me since they barely speak English.

My favorite tex mex from that area. The soft shell for the food is made their. So fresh soft tacos and hard shells tacos are big. The Chinese food half is good too, but the mex side is why I come here.

The best Chinese hands down! Chicken wings is like no other. Once in a while the wings are over fried but 99% of the time the food is great! I introduced my husband and he had to admit it was the best Chinese he has had.

I can spend time looking for another Best Chinese spot but this one never fails, it's fresh, great portions, tasty and delivery time is really efficient. I can say that by far one of the best Chinese spots I have had.

Its a tiny yet good takeout spot with a variety of chinese and mexican food and I don’t think they offer dine in. I called the store to order and the staff was really friendly to take my order. I tried their shrimp and mushrooms with the side of brown rice and hot and sour soup. I really enjoyed the food and the quantity was huge for the low price. Great addition to the neighborhood.

Order from them weekly. The owner/manager lady that takes my order is very friendly. Many times she says something like "hi my friend". Fast customer centered service. Extremely rare not to get the order correct. Prices are fair and reasonable. Food is above average because I have tried others in the past. Free delivery.

Extremely fresh soft tortillas made right in front of you! Best tortillas ever they taste so good omg and the Mexican rice and black beans are so fresh & delicious. As well as the steak & chicken. Definitely recommend the combo platter for that. The service is phenomenal as well! Best typical Mexican food made by Chinese people, think yummy taco or express soft taco but fresher & yummier!

Absolutely amazing food . Everything on the menu is delicious. The owner is always very welcoming . The Best Chinese food in Briarwood, hands down.

Best Chinese restaurant to order for take out. My kids love their foods. They can make custom foods like with less or more sauce, or if you want to add some other things into your rice or other orders. Very nice people, and great customer service.
