$41 Order: 2 Dinner Combos (Eggroll, Cheese Puff, Rice, and Soup) General Tso’s Chicken (extra spicy) Ma Po Tofu (extra spicy) 1 Tea The General Tso’s chicken was big, juicy, and perfectly spicy — the kind of heat that slowly creeps in after a few bites but doesn’t linger too long. The sauce had a great sweet balance that complemented the spice really well. If you’ve never tried Ma Po Tofu and are curious about what mala pepper tastes like, this is a great introductory version. It’s not overwhelmingly numbing or spicy, but it has just enough kick to get your nose running without making your jaw tense like full mala can. It’s also a fantastic vegan option if you’re looking to switch up your protein. The portions were generous. The eggrolls were the highlight — perfectly fried with a beautifully browned, crispy outer wrap and a soft, warm center. We definitely should have ordered more. The wonton soup was delicate and salty in a simple, comforting way. The hot and sour soup had a noticeable malty aroma and flavor. If you’re a hot and sour fan, I’d recommend trying a small bowl first to see if you enjoy the thicker texture and maltiness of this version. It was packed with protein, including wood ear mushrooms, egg ribbons, and tofu strips. The cheese puffs were warm, crispy, and creamy inside. The unsweet tea came with lemon and sweetener on the side — and honestly, I loved the tea more than I expected. Overall, a satisfying meal with generous portions and well-balanced flavors. Definitely worth ordering again.

The service was fine, they look like they mostly do takeout so their interior is pretty small but that's not the point of this warning / review. I got General Tso's Chicken, Beef Lo Mein, Hot and Sour Soup, and crab/cheese puffs. The cheese puffs were the only thing that was edible and only barely so, they were dry, chewy / not crisp, and tasted odd in a way that's hard to describe. the general Tso's Chicken similarly was very bland with an odd almost stale flavor to do. the Lo Mein noodles were similar and the meat was fine when I picked it out. hot n sour soup was awful, should have been called bland and bitter soup. I wish I could say something positive but please save your money. I remember this place being decent back in 2014-2015 but basically just paid to pick up trash to take home and throw away, you have been warned.

I ordered take-out and let me tell you, I have not had some Chinese food this good in awhile. Jalapeño chicken was amazing, lo mein, egg rolls, orange chicken, fried rice, and Steam rice where amazing. Super nice people taking orders and super polite. Definitely recommend this spot and we will be ordering more often.

The shrimp egg foo young was very tasty. The chicken with broccoli comes with the white sauce which is my preference. The chicken with garlic sauce tasted like it was missing the garlic sauce. It was very bland with a lot of bamboo shoots in it. The age of soup had too much cornstarch in it and it was kind of thick. The shrimp fried rice was tasty.

For starters, the lovely individual who answered the phone was absolutely the sweetest! I ordered the cheese puffs and a large hot & sour soup, my absolute favorite—and both were incredible. The service was quick, friendly, and everything came out perfectly fresh and delicious. I don’t live too far from here, so this will definitely be my new weekly go-to spot. This was my first time trying this place, and it definitely won’t be my last!
