    Great portions and reasonably priced! I appreciate the cleanliness and simplicity of this quaint establishment. They're carryout only, quick and easy to order, and a wide selection of options. It's too bad other individuals find their food flavorless...it's because its prepared with no msg and aiming for that less salt flavoring. At least in our opinion, the food was absolutely delicious and very grateful they chose to really pack in the food. As you can see from the photos tagged, they do not cheat you with the amount of food you paid for. **Best to call and order ahead**

    We stopped in thinking we could dine in. Its delivery or carry out only. We ordered the General Taos chicken, Mongolian beef and a order of egg rolls. Both lunch entrees were ok. Wasnt a fan of the beef gravy. Has to and pepper and salt for flavor. Chicken was ok. Not too flavored. The veggies were the spicy part of the meal. The egg rolls were very big. BUT note there is shrimp in them. Paid $21 for all 3.

    Can't believe the quality and the portion this place gives for the price. $7 lunch after tax in 2022? Unbelievable. Photo is L15 Dinner Special

    First and last time! Food did not taste good at all, rice was dry and had a weird after taste to it. Mongolian beef was nothing but onions and more onions with like 2 fatty chunky pieces of beef.

    I don’t like giving bad reviews but honest reviews are what I look for. I ordered the pad Thai with tofu for dinner. Only one size for dinner was the large. It was $12 which was a great price in the times we’re living in for the amount of food received. Upon entering the business, the employee at the front was less than friendly. I did arrive about 30 minutes before close, so I’m sure they were tired but there was no interaction at all. The food smelled yummy and was hot but was completely flavorless. These was absolutely nothing but a ton of noodles, a few small slices of tofu, a few slices of white onion, a few sprouts, a bit of crushed peanuts and 2 small lime slices. No other veggies at all (scallions, carrots, etc). I wasn’t expecting incredible but I would give the pad Thai a zero. The only reason for the 2 star review for the food is due to the price not being sky high.

    When I ordered Shrimp Lo Mein I was expecting udon type noodles, but got the type of ramen you buy from the store..I even asked for extra spice and it wasn't spicy at all nor was it good. The noodles were partially burned and it was very dry. There was no flavor. The crab rangoon also lacked flavor.

    I had the garlic chicken and the garlic sauce tasted absolutely excellent. The only thing I didn't like was yours more onions and very little chicken there was. Other than that it was excellent. The service was excellent and it was done on time. Jimmyp.

    Had their beef haw fun and wonton soup and both are so good. They even had chili oil when I asked for it. I was surprised a takeout Chinese place in the suburbs would serve beef haw fun made with fresh rice noodles. They were perfect. They even had the char from the heat of the wok so you got crispy bites here and there. Definitely the best take out Chinese spot I have ever been to.

    Food is always hot and tastes good. Service is quick usually about 10 minutes for order pickup.

    Has to be one of the best places out here. Service was fast; food smells so good- taste even better. Update: 6/30- Still the best spot there is around! They threw it down today- everything tastes so amazing.

    Order 50 minutes ago, and they still didn't have the food ready. When i payed they didnt give the correct change. I asked for a refund after 50 minutes and they didn't even give me the correct amount of money back.
