We eat here at least once a month! Great Food! Great prices! I see a lot of reviews about the service... I think people are overly sensitive. The place is busy. She is not from here and customers can be very rude! Give the poor woman a break!
Not such a hole in the wall as I was expecting after reading previous reviews, I've seen much worse and this place was appeared clean and food came out quick.
When I walked in the cooks were eating at one of the tables in front which was reassuring, but looking closer it was Pizza Hut. Lol.
Food was okay, not the best ever but doable. I'd order here again.
Located in a strip mall adjacent to a Verizon store at one end and a "Penn Station" sandwich store at the other, this is a typical Chinese take-out restaurant. Â They do have several tables to stay and eat, but most people get take-out.
Remember, I grew up in San Francisco with its wonderful, good, cheap, Chinese food. Â This place rates a 6 out of 10 in my mind for good Chinese food here in the Midwest. Â Their 'claim to fame' is: NO MSG!!!
There seems to be a re-naming of certain Chinese dishes here in the Midwest. Â The "chow mein" that I grew up with are medium thickness noodles that had been boiled, then pan-fried slightly crispy, then stir-fried with veggies & meat or shrimp and some sauce. Â My all time fav is "Tomato Beef Chow Mein", but nobody in the Midwest even knows what I'm asking for. Â The "roast pork" here is more like what I know as "cha-siew", barbecued pork. Â The roast pork I grew up with is from an actual whole roast pig with its crispy, fatty skin and nice meat underneath. Â The "duck sauce", available in little packets is actually sweet & sour sauce. (*Watch out, some duck sauce has High Fructose Corn Syrup, HFCS in it!)
I have tried their "House Lo-mein". Â It's the closest thing I've had to an "everything" chow mein, with 'roast pork', shrimp, beef, and chicken, as well as green onions, celery, carrots, and Chinese cabbage ("bok choi"). Â Their "Mei-fun" thin rice noodle dishes (with shrimp, beef, pork, chicken, or vegetables only) are also very good. Their Egg Rolls have the usual shredded up bok choi, celery, green onions and (maybe?) chicken. Â The "General Tso's Chicken" combo plate ("C9" on the menu) is spicy & comes with fried or white rice and an egg roll.
I generally like curried meat, but the "Curried Chicken" (#79 or C27 on the menu) is mostly veggies (celery, bok choi, green onions, carrots), and VERY little chicken. Â Skip this dish.
