This was the first time I have ordered from this particular establishment and I have to say, Im incredibly disappointed. Not only is the menu that is online off in price by 2-3 dollars each item the food is sub par and dry at best. I asked for Kung Pao bean curd, as my husband doesnt eat chicken and they assured me he could make it over the phone only to have it be completely something else when it arrived. No peanuts, no spicy sauce...just wet vegetables and soggy bean curd. And I was charged 10 dollars for it!!The lo mein was dry and the pork inside was burnt and over cooked.Normally, I spend about 45 dollars on chinese every week and was expecting to pay the same thing this time only to find out the menu lsted online is either 3 years old or edited to appear cheaper because I was charged 60 dollars for what essentially is only 40-45 worth of food.Serves me right not asking for a subtotal before I hung up the phone because had I known the actual cost, I would have never agreed to the delivery. Never again.

2022-02-09Was so excited when I saw my favorite food spot opened back up! Unfortunately I quickly realized that they are not what they used to be. Went from my favorite fried chicken wings to the worst Ive ever had. Im so upset over this cuz Ive missed them 😞😞 fried rice and lo mein is completely different as well. Dumplings are good, thats about it.

2022-05-16Oofa, this used to be the best Chinese food in the immediate area. Great little hole in the wall spot. Unfortunately, I had no idea it was under new ownership and ordered it thinking it would be what I knew from years ago. Sadly, it has become below average standard boring Chinese food. Yellow fried rice instead of the beautiful brown fried rice they used to have. Yellow fried rice is an instant no for me. Spare ribs, which was one of their specialties back in the day, were awful - no meat on the bone, all sauce. Lo mein is bland.SO disappointed!!!!

2022-05-16What I like you can order until 10:45 with delivery to most areas on any given day, friendly staff and delivery driver that came on time. I ordered boneless bbq ribs, pork lo mein, beef broccoli and sesame chicken. The portions are generous and the prices are great but some of the food could use improvement. The lo mein was too salty and oily. I also think the beef was bland, and the sesame chicken had more battered breading than chicken meat. While the veggies are fresh in all dishes, they could add more spices and less oil across the board. I also dont like how on grubhub you cant choose a different rice besides white for some specials. Still willing to try more items on the menu but these were subpar

2022-01-24This chinese food cant be beat! Decent prices, excellent food. Blows the others out the water. Even my 11month old (who would eat poop if i let her) & 2 year old wouldnt eat chinese food from another close by chinese restaurant because they are so spolied w/ this place on jefferson. Always full of flavor, good ingredients & LOVE.

2021-11-02They are pretty good and fast not going to lie,I specifically love their large order of boneless spare ribs,they listen to your instructions if u want something well cooked they will do it,or ask them to put very little brown sauce such as in your chicken broccoli, shrimp broccoli or beef and broccoli order. Not bad at all
