  Will you add a location in Florence please?
  The ONLY Chinese restaurant in the area with GOOD fried rice!!!
  They have lunch specials until 3:00 for $4.25.  The portions are large.  The egg rolls are delicious.  I love the vegetable fried rice.  They are quick, friendly, and they deliver.  I wonder if they will deliver to Florence Michael H????

  I was really in the mood for Chinese one night, and I didn't know that there was one that delivered in my area. My husband didn't want to go out so I looked up Chinese restaurants on line and called a few. I was so happy to find out that this place delivered!
  
  I called in to place my order and the woman hung up on me before I had a chance to ask how long it would be here, and the price that I was being charged. That was rude, however I just chalked it up to a language barrier, and I called back to ask. When I called back I was put on hold for like 5 minutes before they came back to answer my questions.
  
  The delivery man did get to my house the exact time that they told me he'd be here so that was nice. Unfortunately that was the only thing that was nice about the entire experience.
  
  I got the cashew chicken, my husband got the chicken and broccoli, and we each got an egg roll. The food was okay at best, and saying it was okay is stretching it. It was really greasy, but that doesn't usually bother me. The sauce that is usually on cashew chicken was hardly even there. If there's a such thing as being both greasy and too dry at the same time... this was it. I'm not sure if it was just a bad night, or if this is the norm but either way I'm really sad/ disappointed. I would have loved to have liked the only Chinese place that delivers in my area.
  
  I did go inside their restaurant to eat before, and I remember like it... however that was years ago. I'll probably give it another chance sometime in the distant future just because I want to like it, and with the other reviews I'm hoping I ordered on an "off night." When and if I do that, I'll be sure to update my review.

  Definitely the best Chinese takeout in the area.  Very low key and inexpensive, but always delicious.  I don't know what the official radius is, but they definitely deliver pretty far from their location.  Try the Sesame Chicken.

  Okay, it's about time I review my fave "greasy, guilty pleasure of a Chinese restaurant" that DELIVERS!!  
  
  When I'm in the mood for some greasy Chinese food, I always start with the crab rangoon (they call them "cheese wontons"), served with that yummy pink sauce!  I also ALWAYS get their "roast pork fried rice", it has so much flavor and so many pieces of tasty roast pork!  This fried rice could be a meal in itself.  The teriyaki beef appetizer skewers also have a lot of flavor and taste even better cold, the next day.  The "General Tso's chicken" was good, lots of sauce and served with a good amount of broccoli.  I'm just as happy when I order the basic "chicken with broccoli", it has a lot of veggies and just the right amount of the classic brown sauce.  The menu is vast, but I usually stick to my "standbys" mentioned above.  
  
  They are open 7 days/week until 10pm weekdays and 11pm on the weekends and again they DELIVER!!

  So, I'm sitting at my desk (Yelping, of course) and my daughter walks in and lays the mail on my desk.  It's a wad of advertising so I pick the clutter up and file it in the trash basket. I notice something different about a piece mixed up in the wad. It's black and red print on simple white paper. I fish it out and read, "Peking Restaurant, Delicious Chinese Food, Eat In & Take Out, Mandarin, Szechuan, Hunan, Cantonese"
  
  I read over the menu and it's brilliant and it's inexpensive and it's in Latonia by the Kroger on Winston, and maybe I'll stop in some time and try it...
  
  And, I'm about to throw the menu back in the trash and I see it..!!! On the front, I hadn't noticed it before, but there it was in big, bold black and red print... "WE DELIVER!!"  Oh heck yes..!! A freakin' Chinese joint that delivers to my home... I didn't think there was one in this area, I didn't even know this one was in Latonia... I called, I ordered and it was delivered...
  
  I got the Egg Drop (Brilliant), Roast Pork Fried Rice (So Good), Sweet & Sour Chicken (the Chicken was Delicious, as was the sauce),  and some Crab Rangoon (Mmm...).  My wife enjoyed her Kung Pao Chicken & Shrimp (I did as well) and my daughter loved her Moo Shu Shrimp (and so did I.) I finished my meal (and much of theirs) and sat back in my chair to eat my fortune cookie.  I cracked it open and the fortune read, "A Wise Man is Contientious of His Waste." Just sayin'...
