😠 Based on all the great reviews I decided to walk in and try a combination takeout. Walked in at 6pm and the Hispanic girl didn't bother to greet nor smile so I greeted her instead. Most of the chicken dish has red coloring, like the Chinese food served in the black hood. I ordered the fried noodles,... People often mention chicken, order, Chinese, disappointed, good,

    So disappointed! This place was recommended by a friend and honestly I don't know what they were thinking!! Food was so bad, between my husband and I we tried the teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, BBQ sliced pork, fried rice, and veggies. I only liked the veggies! The girl behind the counter was super nice...Food was NOT good at all. Threw most of it out and walked out with a stomach ache. Even tho I'm not a Panda Express fan... I'd go there instead. I don't recommend this place

    I watched as the server went straight from sweeping the floor to serving food without washing her hands or wearing gloves. Also the young girl needs customer service training. Food is good but not sure worth the service.

    Ordered thru DoorDash. Please everyone stay away from here. Go elsewhere. Take your hard earned money elsewhere . Im very disappointed in this type of restaurant treating me like im nothing. all I wanted is my food that I paid for my coworkers and I. Both of my Combos are Missing. the Rep at the restaurant that answered the phone was Cruel and Heartless. i think he said his name is Tin but hesitated. he sounded very young . he straight said he did Not care that my order was Missing. he said it is the Drivers responsibility to make sure my order is complete (However arent the bags knotted up and sealed & ready for pickup) its not the Drivers responsibility to accurately check if the order is complete. He is a Driver. It is the Restaurants responsibility. to go on, the guy on the phone said it is not there fault whatsoever and he stated he didn't care my order was missed and would not take any responsibility for missing my combos. He said to just deal with it. Im very disappointed in this type of restaurant treating me like im nothing. all I wanted is my food that I paid for, estimated $60 bucks via DoorDash.

    Not only was this the nastiest Chinese food in the oC but the cook was too lazy to fry 4 fried shrimp and gave me this instead when I called the lady acted like she didn’t understand everything was cold and what was supposed to be orange chicken was no meat just fried batter never again!!!!!!! If you want to be disappointed come here and eat

    Based on all the great reviews I decided to walk in and try a combination takeout. Walked in at 6pm and the Hispanic girl didn't bother to greet nor smile so I greeted her instead. Most of the chicken dish has red coloring, like the Chinese food served in the black hood. I ordered the fried noodles, mushroom chic and garlic chicken. Paid $10.51 with a $20 bill and got the change without a thank you. Oh well what a bad experience. I haven't eaten the food yet as of this writing and I will most likely throw out the colored food. Never again.

    I been coming here for lunch for many years now, this place is a hit and, miss... Somedays it can be great.(Typically During The First Hours They Open) Other days not so much... Food After 1pm tends to not be fresh and, the bad part is they still try to serve it to you unless you say something. I have noticed that the food tastes different now. I think they changed to lower quality brands, product etc... or, perhaps changed ownership. Whatever is the reason it a noticeable decline from before. This will be the last time I visit this location.

    I got the teryaki chicken and half noodle and half veggie. Price was affordable and portions were humongous. I couldn't finish the meal in one sitting and I'm a 241 pound man.

    Extremely disappointed in the quality of food here. Not sure if it’s under new ownership or if they have new employees but the food used to be great. I ordered some broccoli beef and when I got home I noticed that the broccoli was yellow and smelled like it was going bad. The spicy rice also tasted like someone poured a half bottle of vinegar in it. This place used to be great but it seems as if they’ve dropped all standards. Would not recommend. Not coming back.

    Probably my favorite Chinese food on the area. Almost all of the food is made to order so it can take a little longer than something like Panda Express but you know you're getting something fresh. Even so, the wait isn't very long, in most cases 5 minutes or less. The portions are also huge and the price is really good for how much food you're getting. The food is flavorful but the sauces aren't too strong and the meat is pretty high quality. The inside isn't very large but there are a decent amount of tables and the atmosphere is nice if you want to stay in to eat. The staff is also very nice and helpful if you have any questions about the menu.

    The food here is ok. The portions are big but my lunch today was not fresh. The chicken was tough and the pieces of chicken should be half the size they are. I probably will not be returning.

    My favorite Chinese restaurant. Reasonable prices, quality food, and good size portions. I order the two item combo and get two meals out of it.

  • 1/5 Claudia G. 3 years ago on Google
    Not sure if we went on a bad day but they had no food items ready.. the ones there were sitting there for a few hours, the teriyaki chicken was ice cold and it looked 2 days old, the employee goes on to serve us the bowls with fried rice that was cold, the only thing ok was the orange chicken and it was only because they made a fresh batch.. it was 3pm enough time to have all items fresh and hot.. We usually stay positive with posts but I don’t recommend this place at all.. I name it the worst Chinese Food in my life.. it was sad we love Chinese Food! 4/24/21 3pm🤷🏻‍♀️😢

    Wooow.. this place has seriously gone downhill. I used to eat here so much as a kid and teen, it was always delicious and a good value. Today I went in at 12:30pm, the lights were all off, employee was yawning directly over the food.. Menu was covered with paper bags blocking out the foods they weren't making any more and selection was drastically reduced. The food wasn't too terrible, but I'm really disappointed the old owners clearly aren't running this place any more. If they're going to get to keep the name, at least be able to sell the items from before! Planning not to come back here.

    I've been here 4 times, today being the last time ever. Every time I come here I'm settling on something because they're out, it's too old, or just nothing looks proper. Today there was less than one serving of stale orange chicken, I asked if they were gonna make more and was told no. It was 12:30 in the afternoon, and they refused to fill an order. So they wasted my time by coming here and I will NOT do that again. The space is always dingy and dark. Im assuming it's because they don't want you to actually see what your eating.

    Sub par Chinese place in Anaheim. Poor young gal working the PM shift had zero customer service and I was the only customer they had. I will most definitely not be coming back. Bad vibe. Bad food. Save your money and go somewhere else.

    Use to come here years ago and the food was good alot has changed. The teriyaki chicken was terrible and to mention the chicken served was cold, thankfully for the hot steamed rice it warmed up the chicken. Not coming back!
