What diners are saying
Diners offer mixed feedback on this takeout-focused spot, with some celebrating the General Tso’s chicken combo for being flavorful and not overly oily. While loyal patrons appreciate the reasonable lunch special prices, others feel the portions are small and the costs high for the quality provided. Several reviewers highlight inconsistencies with sauces, noting some dishes like the chicken and broccoli can be overly sweet or lack traditional flavors. Though service experiences vary, the restaurant remains a longstanding local option for quick Chinese staples.
