(It doesn't need to cook all of the way through, it will cook completely when combined with the sauce).4.

Ever since Covid, the prices have gone up and the food quality has gone down almost like they have their kids cooking the food. My problem is the inconsistency. Sometimes the shrimp is freezer burned sometimes the boneless bbq sparerib is too salty In my opinion. Sometimes the rice is clumpy like it was made in a bag, but 40% of the time you can get some really good food . Not many other Chinese restaurants in the area so visitors should try a pizza place or KFC instead.

It was okay. We felt it was your average Chinese food, nothing to write home about.Our favorites were the crab Rangoon and the boneless spare ribs. Both were cooked to perfection.The fried wontons, fried dumplings and sweet and sour chicken were all barely warm and chewy, when we got home we had to re-heat all these. They almost tasted old. General tso was okay. Flavor was good but chicken needed to be crunchier, and we found numerous bones which was just unappetizing.Although we didn't hate it, there were good parts, we will be trying out other places in the area first before going back.

Been ordering here for years, but sadly been noticing lately food is not how it used to be. Lomein is literally dry noodles with pieces of beef and cabbage no carrots no scallion nothing else no flavor. General Tso chicken tasted like overcooked breaded rubber. Disappointed, I’ll be going elsewhere.

Good enough food at a good enough price. I can't complain.
