My recent experiences with this establishment have been consistently disappointing, particularly concerning the proportion of meat to vegetables in the dishes. On both occasions, including my most recent order of bulgogi, the vegetable content significantly outweighed the meat. My wife humorously, yet accurately, observed that the bulgogi contained approximately 15 pieces of meat, a count I verified. She had a similar experience with the steak and peppers dish a week prior in which she said it appears to be 10-15 pieces of meat. At this point, she is convinced they count the meat and it appears 15 is the max.
I recommend avoiding dishes that combine vegetables and meat, as the meat portions appear to be consistently minimal, leading to a vegetable-dominant meal.
Furthermore, my wife previously noted a deceptive plating technique with the orange chicken, where the chicken was positioned atop the rice on the right side of the container, creating an illusion of a larger meat portion. Also, there appeared to have been about 15 pieces of chicken in that dish as well.
The establishment consistently demonstrates a tendency to be STINGY with the meat.
Post Chinese food from a different place for comparison. Wife ate a Lil bit before pic was taken but you can clearly see the difference regarding meat.

I enjoyed this expierence. This was my first time eating there. I ordered some honey wings with chicken fried rice add egg. When i got my food there wasn’t any egg in the rice i didn’t trip because it was only a extra 1$. I also ordered 10 cut wings. The honey wings and chicken fried rice was really good . Food was fresh and tasty. I saved the regular winga for the next morning. Those wings were not good. I have refrigerated other places and ate the next day however these turned very rubbery. They were not good at all. I believe they may have been great had i ate them the minute i ordered them but saving for next day i wouldn’t recommend. Also my food was 30.00 i think that was a bit much for wings and chicken fried rice and 10 cutt wings, however I would attend again and try a different dish. The staff was nice .

This is our third time eating here, all with the same experience. The food has always tasted fine. My kids get their fried rice each time. My husband and I change what we get each time, and it’s been good. This order pictured took 15 minutes and they called to tell me it was ready. They allow one customer in the restaurant at a time, and it is pick up only-masks required. We will continue to eat here.

I sat inside on my lunch break. I ordered shrimp lo mein and a large sweet tea. When I asked for a refill, the lady at the counter told me I had to pay $1 for a refill…even though I dined inside the restaurant. I refused and just left…will not be returning. The only reason I even went there was for something good to drink.

Mr. And Mrs Chen still putting oit the best Chinese food after 30 years. Most places do not know how to get Egg Foo Young right. This one right here takes me back to my youth in MD. Great, crispy, loaded and not greasy.

The Restaurant: 10 Stars
Cleanliness: 10 Stars
For me being a 1st time customer…. 20 Stars! The food is Hot & Fresh! Since, the 1st two were on point! I am VERY critical when it comes to choosing a Chinese restaurant because, if it doesn’t look right, or taste right after 2 bites, I’ll either throw it in the trash, or call and give it to my homegirl. That’s because, I would be like: That don’t taste like chicken or that don’t taste like beef…. BUT, This restaurant I am happy to say… “That Won’t be happening!” I L❤️VE it!!! Soooo… if you are a Critic like me, Look No further! I’ve done the hard work for you. Best I’ve been too, since Chinese American which is too far for me now. Now, I have a place close to my new home! I’m Good! ❤️ Come thru!

Pleasant atmosphete with plenty of seating.
Very courteous no matter who takes the order. Excellent variety of dishes most offer small and larger sizes. Food quality is high! Never a mistake on the order and I get two ample dinners from one small size Moo goo gai pan or broccali beef. 8 minutes from my house doesn’t hurt.

Idk what happened, maybe they have new ownership… everything lacked seasoning. And the rice was fresh, everyone knows the best fried rice is made from day old white rice. Chicken was bland, and should’ve been fried longer.

First time at this restaurant and while the food had a good taste the price was ridiculous. A 10 piece regular wing with shrimp fried rice is $17.95 (not including tax;) the insult here is the rice compartment was half full.
My suggestion, if you are looking for spectacular Chinese food, The Best of China on Two Notch Road near the bowling alley is tops. Respectful people, great food, full portions and a 10 piece regular wing with shrimp fried rice is $13.95 (including tax.) Thank me later for this suggestion.
Will not return to this restaurant.
