Did I just find fantastic egg rolls and General Tso's at the same place! You all who recommended Egg Rolls Chinese Cafe on 249 near Louetta. Thank you! A place with "egg rolls" in its name better bring their game, and these pork egg rolls were simple, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I didn't want to take the last bite, and then I was sad because I had no more egg roll! Lol I have never been a General Tso's Chicken fan, because after Beijing Chinese went downhill and closed, nothing else ever compared. The search is over! Egg Rolls Chinese Cafe's version was so good! Lightly battered crispy, real white neat tender chicken, and the sauce was excellent. I also started with their Hot & Sour Soup, which 8s also a hard-to-find done right. Top 5 for me! The owners Allison and Eric were delightful and friendly. Definitely will be back to try more.

$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. UPDATE: The Curry Chicken deserves more attention because I didn’t see many reviews mentioning it. I ordered it extra spicy, and the chili oil they used was phenomenal, deeply flavorful with a heat that enhanced the dish instead of overpowering it. Somehow the leftovers tasted even better the next day, and the spice level continued to build in the best way. Definitely one of the most underrated dishes we tried, and we'll absolutely be ordering it again.

This is a small and cozy restaurant, with the friendliest staff you'll ever meet. They were very attentive to us. The food taste fresh, clean and flavorful. I highly recommend this place. This has become my dads and I favorite Chinese restaurant.

I have had the best time enjoying this restaurant moving to the area that I go every week. The food, atmosphere, care, cleanliness is so refreshing and satisfying. The people there are genuinely positive and well natured. Definitely recommend if you need a great meal at a very good cost served with kindness.

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.
