I was recommended this place by a coworker of mine and I went to try it because it was very highly praised. First time I went I was unaware they only accept cash which nowhere in the restaurant does it tell that, so I came back another day and ordered thier hot and spicy shrimp ($16). Self service for the most part, which is totally fine but I also had to wait a while for her to actually take my order. She was the only one who seemed to be working at the time (she was not) and there was a very loud phone ringing constantly so I assumed she was busy. I wait 5 minutes for her too take my order and she tells me to wait 25 minutes. During that time another guy comes in ordering something very similar to me (a shrimp combo meal, I believe it was $20) and she told him to wait 15 minutes. I waited for a minute and I did get my food before him. I go back to my work thats just down the street to eat my food and when I eat it I realize it's sweet. It also came with rice I did not order (rice costs more), and I realize I grabbed his order and not mine. I walk back, and politely and quietly explain to them this was not my order (since they were serving another customer, and I did not want to make them look bad). The lady immediately starts yelling at me, as if she's trying to accuse me of swindling her (mind you, I did not order rice (which cost more) and I wanted to make sure the guy got HIS food) her what I assume husband shows up and while he is a lot calmer, and in the same calm and quiet tone I had been using the entire time, he too starts yelling at me like I am a thief as well. The customer they are serving is watching this whole thing go down, and I will say it was like THEY were the angry Karens and they were paying me. I realize it is not worth it so I smile, tell them they were right and leave. The shrimp was overcooked too....
Read moreThe best Chinese take out in the Jamestown and greater Chautauqua region (as their expertly chosen name suggests). They do both take out and delivery. This is a strict cash-only restaurant. Located in the Farm Fresh plaza by Rudy's Pizza just across the 3rd Street bridge.
The interior is just about the same as every other small take out restaurant; a little on the nicer/cleaner side which is a plus. In line with that you can expect the same types of menus, food options, finely aged ornate food pictures above the counter, piles of empty boxes stacked dangerously high, and those beautifully oversized ethnic Chinese murals.
The food though is what sets these guys and gals apart from the rest. The chicken is larger cut sizes, veggies are always fresh tasting and the presentation is better than most (if that's even a thing in a take out box?). They have some of the most flavorful Lo Mein and their food appears and tastes a notch above the competition in both quality and...
Read moreI usually get either general taos or sesame chicken that comes with the plain or stir fried white rice and an egg roll. The price is amazing for the quantity you get. I used to get crab ragoons every time I visited but after they started putting less filling in it I stopped ordering it pretty much, though the filling is still really good. I've been coming here for years and I highly recommend. I've had the ribs here a couple times and those are decent too. Also bring cash, that's all they take. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait time and it may take a little bit before you can even order if you...
