Been there for years, food always good. Used to be dine in, we've been enjoying their dishes since 2000.

Quite possibly the worst Kung Pao Chicken I have ever eaten. No flavor to the little bit of sauce in it. It didn't even taste like Kung Pao. It tasted like it was soaked in salt. So disappointing. Never again. The dumplings were just okay.

We went there and there was no dine in. I got fried rice, that was good. I would go there again.

The only good thing about this place is that it's open later than other options. The food is low quality, over-sauced, and lacks flavor. I'll stick to Peter Chang's from now on.

Best Chinese in C’ville. Earlier in the afternoon I called to see if they offered a vegan soup. Later after I ordered our meal (including a different soup) online I received a phone call asking if I wanted this soup in a vegan version. I was impressed that they remembered my call and verified that I also wanted this soup vegan. The meal was excellent. The only thing I will ask next time is to cook the veggies al dente. We’ll be back.Dietary restrictions: The vegan requests were fully met.

Don't waste your time, money and taste buds. We were very disappointed with everything we bought. The Moo Shoo Pork and Pork Fried Rice were practically devoid of Pork. We ate some and threw the rest in the garbage. If you want good Chinese food, go to the Tea House in Crozet. We would have gone there but it's closed on Monday. Decided to try an alternative and we were most disappointed.

This is a family owned restaurant. I ordered the Double Willow Chicken, Hunan Chicken, and 2 pork egg rolls today. The portions were generous, delicious, and a good value for the money. The exterior of the restaurant is not up to date or trendy, but don’t judge a book by its cover.

I try not to give too bad of a review for restaurants, especially during COVID times or where businesses could be struggling. But I've ordered here a few times now hoping they got better, but we have yet to get a perfect order based on what we ordered. We either get an entree wrong/missing or seafood undercooked/not-deveined. Our most recent order had three things wrong with it. And at first we thought it was an issue through GrubHub, but now the trend is showing it's this restaurant unfortunately. I hope this place is better in person, but I do not recommend this restaurant for delivery.

Great take out. Just had Shrimp and Vegtables that was wonderful. Plentiful shrimp, large and cooked to perfection, vegtables fresh and delicious. If you're in the mood for Chinese food, this is best we found. Been a patron for several years, never disappointed.

Great take out. Just had "Shrimp and Vegtables", the shrimp were large, generous and cooked to perfection. The veggies were fresh and cooked just right. Our favorite Chinese for many years.

Starving and needed something to eat so ordered here as this was the only one open near our destination . Orders were placed through a window. You can't go in. Wonton soup, chicken mei fun and chicken with cashew. We are lucky weather is nice otherwise it will be uncomfortable waiting for our food as there's no chairs outside. Too dark at 8:45pm to wait outside the restaurant so make sure you call in your order for pick up instead of walking in to order. Mei fun chicken was very good, not drowning in soy sauce. In fact it was seasoned well imo. They give you packets of soy sauce if your taste is on the salty side. The chicken with cashew nuts tasted weird though. The chicken was deep fried that we are not accustomed to so we threw it out.

I have been coming to this restaurant since 1986, and it's always been one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in town. Their Kung Pao Chicken is outstanding, and I'd love to have the recipe for their Hot and Sour soup! The owner is incredibly friendly, and their food is always fresh. It was not uncommon (pre-COVID) to walk in for dining and see someone at the small table sorting through fresh green beans. I'm proud to support this small business, and it will be a sad day when the owner steps away from this gem of a restaurant. It's an Ivy Road landmark!
