Another hole in the wall restaurant. Small & cluttered - sign of a very small store. They run lunch specials 7 days a week so it was a #17 Szechuan Beef lunch special & for me a #4 Mongolian Beef & Sweet & Sour Chicken Combo. Egg drop soups came out first. They were flavorful, hot and thick. The meat dishes were nicely spiced( not overly hot for what we ordered) the beef was tender and delicious. Sweet & sour chicken was not overcooked or dry. I was surprised to see it on the side instead of on the plate. Good stop for lunch, prices were wallet friendly and on our return to list.

My first visit to this Chinese restaurant. Don't be put off by its lack of curb appeal. It has a rather mundane appearance from the parking lot. Further, once inside it appeared that they are in the midst of either a cleaning or remodeling project, and there were boxes and things piled up everywhere. But, I was greeted and seated within a few seconds of arrival, and had a nice lunch of beef with broccoli. Very large portion, nice flavors, tasty egg drop soup. I certainly will return to try some other menu items to get an idea of the balance of their menu.

This is our go to Chinese place for takeout. The portions they serve the last 2 to 3 days. They are humongous! I usually get the chicken mushroom. It is so tender and filled with juicy vegetables in the sauce is amazing. It comes with white rice. My husband gets the Kung pow chicken with the pork fried rice, and it lasts for days! The only downside is it's pretty pricey. It was about $15.50 for my mushroom chicken or any other entrée I believe the combos may be a little cheaper. But compared to all the food that you are getting it's worth it. I would recommend calling in before ordering and they usually make it pretty fast. Also check out the almond cookies they have. They're pretty good as well and they're only $1.50!
