Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I got a large portion of “mall grade” Chinese food and a water for $6. Wasn’t as sickly sweet as the US version. Great for the price in my opinion."
"This place will scratch your itch for quick Chinese food. Not the best, but not the worst. Friendly service. The rice and noodles were pretty good, I got both the orange chicken and the other fried chicken in sauce dish, and I should have chosen something else as those are very similar. Both were nicely prepared with a tasty sauce - but both had a lot of breading to chicken ratio. They also offered some fried plantains that were good. Meal came with a drink, and they allowed me to do half rice and half noodles. They open at noon or shortly thereafter."
"La comida es deliciosa, y el personal es muy educado."
"Très bon, et copieux.... sucré.... c'est du chinois !"
