I absolutely love this place. The quality of the food is one of the best in town. The Amazing Chicken and Cashew Chicken are my two favorites. And 17 for food I can get two meals out of is just a bonus. The lady at the counter is always so friendly. I will be back many more times.

The food was really good! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I got the mango chicken which was impressive. Prices were reasonable as well. We'll be coming here again.

This was an absolutely amazing place, excellent service, and awesome food!! Will definitely go again!! The last review wasn't accurate and I wanted to reply to it but it wouldn't let me reply to reviews. The woman (Melissa Gemmer) bought a small combo, which included chicken, lo mein, and a drink. It was upgraded which is why it was 20. The cashier was very patient, kind, and professional. When the woman asked why she received a small portion the cashier explained why, the woman rudely told the cashier to stop yelling at her and that she wasn't being professional. The cashier seemed a bit confused bc she was calm and wasn't being rude in any way. The woman said that the cashier was being very rude and disrespectful (when she wasn't) and told others to mind their business when they stood up for the cashier. The cashier was nothing but sweet and friendly

Food was outstanding. I had Wonton Soup and the Vegetarian Delight Combo. Great. Service was fast and efficient. Ambiance was very nice. Soft music in the background. Very soothing until a Door Dasher came in and talked on speaker phone at the top of his voice. All in all a great place. I highly recommend this place. They do have Vegetarian/Vegan options.
