    Food is delicious and inexpensive. I always order for pick up and the food is usually ready and always hot when I get there. Its also inexpensive like some places.

    I will never eat there again, food taste pre cooked gravy was burned and lumpy restaurant spelled like bleach and as I was leaving one of the workers was at the side door playing with a stray cat, food very over priced! I WILL CONTINUE TO STICK TO JUST NOT EATING OUT IN THESE HORRIBLE PLACES.

    Some things are a hit or miss but not that bad. I’ve been coming here since forever. Same menu same lady at the window. Don’t get the chicken noodle soup tho. That’s just a no. The chicken nuggets are tiny, wouldn’t recommend. If you get a combination dish with rice and let’s say beef and broccoli just know all the sauce from the beef and broccoli is gonna be soaking into your rice. Because they put the (COMBINATION) in one container. Meaning your rice might be soggy and I DONT like that. Not a fan of the hot n sour soup. It wasn’t the right amount of sour to sweet ratio I like. The people there are nice just be patient please. English is their second language. Even I, an Asian American struggle placing an order on the phone.

    The food was ok. The service was ok. There is no atmosphere. It's a little place with maybe 3 tables. I chose to wait inside for my food to get done. It's just them taking orders over the phone (kind of loudly) and taking walk-ins. The parking is terrible. It's dangerous trying to get out! Maybe delivery is a little better.

    The customer service over the phone could be a lot better, but it is top down one of the best spots for order in Chinese food in Harrisburg! Where I live now they don’t deliver, but if it’s in the budget and I’m hungry for it, it’s worth the drive for me.

    I don’t think it the same people from the early 2000 . Food taste different and they also expensive. And the tables was not clean so the children can eat .

    I ate 3 spoons of the fried rice and it tasted sour and bad. I immediately stopped eating and felt sick to my stomach. I spent the next 4 days in bed throwing up and feeling lightheaded. I'll never eat here again.

    The food was good. I feel strongly about not being able to have an egg roll without shrimp included inside of it. I like egg rolls with my Beef Fried Rice. Here in Washington, DC where I'm from the carryout offers egg rolls with or without shrimp because people are allergic to seafood / shellfish. Maybe this place could consider this option for people with food allergies or even who have a preference to not eat seafood.

    Never Again... this is why I haven't Patronized this place in months. They hardly ever get their dishes right. TRASH!

  • 5/5 Dwayne W. 10 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    My daughter suggested getting food here when my wife and son were out of town. This was a good snap decision. We both really enjoyed our selections. While there is seating, the establishment is geared more towards carryout. Parking is a bit sparse due to the location. Still, worth the trip. Good food. Nice folks.

    Website states 1030 pm close time. 10:08pm when I pull up, they flag they are closed. Please change the hours on the website so people don't waste time or gas. You lost a customer now and in the future.

    Been eating here for over 20 years. Went through multiple change of management. I love this place. Staffs are always friendly and the food is great as well! They also have a few Spanish items on their menu!!

    I got an order of crab raccoons, and they tasted like they were refried because they were like cardboard and not crispy. The worst part of it was there was literally no contents inside the wonton. No cream cheese, no onion, no crab they were dry as a bone. Never experienced that before.and NO FLAVOR. AT ALL!

    I was shocked at how fast accurate and good the food here is I ordered a large general TSO chicken and and order of chicken wings with I think cheese fries I asked how long and the young lady told me five minutes I was intrigued so I waited in my car for 5 minutes exactly to see if my order would be done and it was great place I give them an A+++ rating keep up the good work,,.🙂

    Very rude I was told my payment diid not go through but when I checked my bank account money was taken out, also our food was old looked like it was warmed over. I suggest if you order from here check your bank account if paying with card also check your food before the driver leave.
