Not the best fast Chinese food we’ve had - but definitely not the worst. The potato chicken and orange chicken were good; the black pepper chicken wasn’t bad, either. I also tried the barbecued pork, which was decent. However, the chow mein and fried rice were bland and needed salt; I added soy sauce to mine, which helped a little - but the chow mein noodles just weren’t great tasting at all. Ended up throwing the noodles and rice away.
Service is very prompt and while not overtly friendly (I think it’s mainly a cultural thing), it was efficient and fast. The gentleman ringing me up did say to have a happy Christmas, so that was nice - nicer than many other employees we interact with this time of year.
The dining area is clean and plain - nothing fancy but nothing ghetto or gross. We got our food to go, so we didn’t stay and eat.
Would we go back? Honestly, probably not. But would we tell people to avoid this or go elsewhere? No. I’d say just be wary of bland chow mein; stick with the fried rice and add that soy sauce.
The prices were low - so no complaint there. I guess in this case, you get what you pay for. Quick and simple fast...

My husband is a picky eater, he loves the orange chicken and the beef broccoli I pick for him. I tried the egg drop soup, I love it. They also have dishes that can be cooked as you order it. They also do party trays. I will highly...

because of the sheer volume of ppl coming thru this place & how much they give, the turnover of food is quick so we found the terriaki chicken to...
