    Wow!!!  What a fantastic  place.  The food was beyond delicious and fresh. We randomly picked this place and will be our go to place when we visit.  We chose to eat in and knew we picked the right place when the flow of people was non stop coming in.  Most people do get it to go but we wanted to stay in. Food was so fresh we had to wait for it to cool off. This probably why people get it to go. Staff was friendly even among the throngs of people and phone calls that never stopped.

    After seeing the good reviews and ratings my coworkers wanted to try this place out for lunch.  I don't know what place everyone else went to, but we definitely did not have the same good experience.

    The place looks like the decor is from the 80 or early 90s. The color scheme was like hanging out at the Max from Saved by the Bell. Wobbly tables are propped up with pieces of wood, torn seat cushions were repaired with black duct tape and the carpet was definitely a little sticky.

    The food is average at best, but the fried noodles and duck sauce that came as an appetizer were pretty good.  The tea we ordered tasted off, as if it was brewed in a moldy pot. They brought my one coworker the completely wrong thing and had to send it back.  Part way through the meal something from the ceiling dripped on my boss.  Thankfully he was already done eating.

    Service was lacking. One us asked if the entire table could get water so they only brought out one glass.  The same thing happened when we wanted chopsticks.  Apparently everyone person has to ask individually to get anything.

    The last thing I did was try to use the bathroom.  I wish I did this first because I would have walked out immediately.  The toilet had a ring in it as if it wasn't cleaned in months. I looked at the sink and it looked like it was covered in filth. I could only wonder what the cleanliness in rest of the place looked like, especially in the kitchen.  I regretted eating anything since I now doubted the quality of the food.

    I am never coming back here. If you are in the area, you're better off going to Hong Kong Kitchen on Easton Ave.

    Nice place for good Chinese Food, they take good care of customers and also they went over and above to make chicken hot & sour soup without pork for me. Nice food, nice people, nice & clean place.

    How could I have not reviewed this place. What ! This is my childhood ! I grew up on this Chinese spot. I absolutely love it. They have been so consistent over the years, no doubt my favorite Chinese place. I love coming for lunch and sitting in the dining area because they give the wonton chips with duck sauce. Which can be finished in two minutes and they don't mind giving more. They have lunch combos for a reasonable price. My favorite meal here is wonton soup to start and beef and broccoli combo with pork fried rice. The wonton soup has pork pieces and scallions in it. So tasty and not salty. Put the wonton chips in there to really enjoy it. The beef and broccoli combo is definitely enough food for two meals but I always have it in one. The beef is small pieces and drenched in the beef sauce they make it in. It's tiny bit oily but mix it with the rice to soak some of it up. Their shrimp with lobster sauce is also really good. Shrimp toasts appetizers are good but ooze with oil sometimes.

    Chinese food here is ok. Not the best but also not the worst!

    Fried pork dumplings were too doughy and not crispy enough. Boneless spare ribs and chicken with broccoli were pretty good!
