Food is fresh, hot and tastes great! Pineapple chicken is the best, well prepared and very tasty. Be prepared to wait a while, as the one woman who takes the orders from the phone and is the cashier also acts as the server most of the time. But, food is well worth the extra wait. Very friendly and service is with a smile. They are always very busy, which speaks to the taste of the food.

I saw a lot of comments on the egg rolls so of course I had to try it..... it was interesting. I really wanted Mu Shu but it wasn't an option so I got mandarin chicken, it was decent. I found the little saucer for my side of rice to be annoying. I have yet to go you a Chinese restaurant and they give such a small portion of rice. Maybe they are saving rice? I just miss having a good Chinese joint to hit up. Nothing will ever compare to Jade's Chopsticks from the '90's.

We've passed by every now and then wanting to try the Chinese food. Tonight we finally did and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the #8 specialty, split between two people. The food portions definitely exceed what you're paying for! The Mandarin Chicken was super crispy, freshly fried - NOT FROZEN! Top marks for the fried rice and ragoons. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the Almond Chicken. I had another entree in mind and unfortunately an entree from another restaurant entirely has ruined that dish for me (Bird Nest from Pad Thai House - see that review for context). For the $10 a person ($20), the food could have been $30 and I would have been just as happy. I was surprised to see an empty-ish restaurant but this was actually kind of nice. No loud groups made for an enjoyable evening. The 4 person-staff were quick to move around (they definitely want to deliver your food quickly) and despite 13 orders during our meal, they had our food within 15 minutes. Would recommend - Support your local restaurants!

Food is decent. Some good some not so much. Ad many places like this do these days, every meat is I. A little ball of the same dough. This is not authentic, but most are not. Great sauces and great egg roll once I took the stupid batter off... it already has a shell people. Is this a North American thing?
