I Love his food & it always taste fresh & he usually says 10 min & it’s usually done close to that!
Unless you eat it there it may take longer ,but that’s okay. He only takes cash & that can be a pain , but that’s okay with me if I want it bad enough I just go to the ATM 😊 I’ve never got sick either after eating here.

Wonderful small town Chinese food restaurant with a varied menu for anyone’s tastes. I like their tofu with vegetables.

SPENT $60.00. They do not accept debit cards or check. Food is mediocre taste wise. I found a metal shaving in my food. Don't think this will be our go to place.

Took the order to go the restaurant looked clean but had no decorations. Some menu items can not be subbed for dark meat but others can. Cash only, was not informed of that over the phone and the online menu had the wrong prices. Was told the oder would be done in 10 mins and it was 30 mins later I got my order. My order was General Chicken with a side of sauce, Rice noodles with chicken, cream cheese ragoons, and chicken dumplings came to $47.95. The food was perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of salt but had zero flavor, calling it bland would be an overstatement. The Medium General Chicken sauce had no spice at all, it was ordered for my husband and I don't like spicy food but I tried a bite and a pinch of pepper has more heat, it tasted like beef bone broth that had been thickened with no seasoning besides salt. The rice noodle dish had no special sauce to speak of and again tasted like it was only seasoned with salt not a hint of onion, ginger, garlic, soy or any other flavor. The chicken dumplings seemed to just be a mixture of chicken a little soy, and a tiny bit of green onion the brown sauce might have been related to the beef broth sauce on the general chicken but had a slightly different color. The cheese ragoons were cream cheese only and likely the best item we got.

This was the second chance we gave this restaurant after trying it maybe 5 or 6 years ago and we will not be giving it a 3rd chance.

Ordered 4 combos and everyone’s was right except mine and we wanted extra crab ragoons which they did want to do and didn’t even put any in the combo that was wrong. First and last time going here.

Given this place many chances and finally have to give a review. Food itself isn't bad, but it's not great especially for the price. The owner is never friendly, and don't expect your food in ten minutes when you call it in. Seriously don't think they start cooking in until you get there and pay, then have to sit and wait twenty minutes for it to cook. Everyone loves freshly cooked, but it's ridiculous when you're expecting it to be ready when you get there. Maybe only dine in here.
