(2018) Best Chinese take out in the area! Everything always super hot and fresh. They're super quick and always very polite and friendly. They also have good prices. They're one of the few local Chinese take out restaurants that do special items too.. like steak and cheese egg rolls, and special combo platters. love it ! *Edit (June 2023) 5 years later and it's still our go to. Somehow it's gotten even better. Food is consistently high quality.

I order from here every chance I get, which unfortunately is not enough. The people on the phone are always very nice and answer all my questions and/or special requests (they allow certain substitutions with their combo platters for an extra fee, but it’s worth it if you want something like Mei Fun rather than rice). There is a delivery fee but they are consistently quick to deliver compared to many places I’ve ordered from throughout the years. The usual delivery guy is very polite and nice. As for the quality of the food... Almost everything I’ve ordered has been REALLY good!! Definitely made fresh, their spring rolls are always crispy on the outside like they’re supposed to be, I LOVE their Mei Fun, Chow Mein, Shrimp w/Chinese vegetables, etc. They will also give you free chopsticks if you ask, and I always do, lol. I’m actually already making plans with a friend to order from there on Sunday for my friend’s birthday. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because some of the things my friend has ordered (mostly Americanized Chinese food like Crab Rangoon, sweet & sour chicken, etc.) aren’t as consistently great, but I don’t usually order that kind of stuff for myself anyway. Also, everything is VERY reasonably priced, especially considering the high quality you wouldn’t expect at those prices.

My husband and I haven't had great Chinese food like that in a long time! It didn't take long to get cooked and we enjoyed all the food

This is hands down the best Chinese food in the area! We eat here at least once a week and are never disappointed. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!
