Love this place, everything is always made fresh to order, the hospitality is 10/10, the food comes out in a timely manner, there’s so many different tasty dishes to choose from too. I highly recommend the donuts if you’re looking for a good dessert option too! Come here if you like Chinese food and want to support your local businesses instead of going to corporate businesses.

This is an excellent establishment and although I didn’t give the food five stars, it was not because the food was bad. It was just because it was a little bit bland for my liking. However, that is not a reflection of the quality of food that we received. I was very impressed with the quality of food quality of service in the friendly atmosphere and I would highly recommend this place for those that prefer Chinese food. Also, I found the prices were very reasonable.

They give you like huge portions of food that the box don’t even close that I had to put it on a separate plate and the food taste amazing as well. Price is top tier for how much you get. Definitely the best tasting Chinese food I’ve had in the area. I got the beef lo mein, and the general tso chicken dinner combo which comes with fried rice roasted pork a 1 pork egg roll. Would recommend anyone who likes Chinese food and is in the area to try it.

Trying to be fair, but this was not good Chinese takeout. ☹️ We chose it only because it had higher reviews than China 2 (near Publix). Overall tip: you might as well order from the vegetable section—any entrée with meat or seafood is mostly filler vegetables, with very little of what you actually paid a premium for.
Worst dish: Large Kung Pao Shrimp. Unbelievable—only five small shrimp in the entire container! It was packed with chopped veggies, tons of peanuts, and sauce, but you had to dig deep to find the shrimp buried at the very bottom. Easily 90% veggies/peanuts/sauce. We shared family-style among several people, so this was a huge problem (even one person would be disappointed). We love veggies, but when you order shrimp, you expect actual shrimp.
Second worst: Mongolian Beef. Barely any beef—mostly onions in a watery, barely-brown sauce. The tiny bits of beef were crinkled, ground-beef-like scraps. It should have been called “Mongolian Onions.” Easily 75% onions; we were just spooning bland, watery onions onto our plates.
Third worst: Hot & Sour Soup. I love this soup and know it’s tricky to get right (needs wood ear mushrooms, tofu, balanced sour/sweet/savory), but this was awful—completely bland, no proper ingredients, no mushrooms I could find. It tasted exactly like someone scooped egg roll filling into a container and poured soy-sauce broth over it. To top it off, they charged us for a large instead of the pint we ordered and wouldn’t refund the difference.
Fourth worst: House Lo Mein. “House” should include pork, chicken, and shrimp. Ours had almost no meat at all and zero shrimp. The noodles themselves tasted normal but were much oilier than any other place we’ve tried (personal preference, but the excess oil affected taste, texture, and felt unhealthy).
The one semi-decent item: Orange Chicken. It had real orange peel pieces for good flavor (better than overly sweet versions elsewhere). Only complaint: it tasted fried in old oil—very oily, no crispness, darkened flour flavor. Still average or slightly below.
With five main dishes ordered and none of our group of seven happy, we won’t be returning. We’ll keep searching for decent Chinese takeout elsewhere. But I hope this review is helpful to the owner and potential customers. 🙂

Wow! So much food! All super hot and fresh! Egg rolls are extra thick and a bit greasy, but that’s exactly what I expect from take out spots like this. Perfectly crispy honey chicken. The fried garlic plantains were so so good! Had a garlic spread on them that was very strong and flavorful.

Food is great. Had Singapore Mei Fun with teriyaki chicken and Philly cheese steak egg rolls. Fairly priced and good portions. Service was quick and friendly

This is my first and last time ordering from this place. The shrimp rolls were burnt and looked as if they had been cooked in week old oil. The chicken teriyaki on a stick was just as it appears in the pictures, dry and burnt. I also asked for duck sauce and there wasn’t a single pack in the bag. The only reason I’m giving them 3 starts is because the beef egg foo young was decent.

Food was ok not amazing. The actual restaurant was so dirty but they put up this huge homemade/makeshift clear plastic/cardboard barrier and they put the food in this little “door” and you grab it out lol like that’s really making a difference when the place is gross!
