I got the family special and they let me make substitutions at no extra cost. They also threw in free almond cookies and extra fortune cookies! Love this place!

I came here for lunch break. The food was fresh. I love a good American Chinese food spot. The chow mein and rice were on point. The orange chicken had white meat in it. The teriyaki was fresh. The jalapeno chicken was really good with extra jalapenos. The vegetable egg rolls were okay. The service was really great and fast.

We come here a lot for takeout but last night we sat down and dined in. I always love the price and the food quality here. It's fresh and clean and plentiful especially for the price. We always walk away with leftovers. But the dine in experience was just as good as the food takeout. The hosts were super nice and attentive and patient with several kids under 10. Never regretted this place since we found it but want to give them a shout out for being a great place for a family to enjoy a meal out without breaking the bank!

Tried this place for the first time today. Fresh food for lunch and made to order takeout. Plenty of seating. Friendly staff and large portions. The Special Chow Mein was really good. Look forward to going back
