Listen... Gave atmosphere a 2 because this is an authentic hole-in-the-wall... And you know what they say about that hole-in-the-wall! The food is absolute fire! At the counter you can actually see the cooks freshly preparing your meal. Never had an order mishap, cheap, give you a ton of food, and damn well down right delicious! There's a reason I've been ordering from them for the last 5 years. Get you some!

It's not fancy, mostly a take out restaurant, but the food is good and the service was great. It was a quiet and calming place to relax and enjoy our meals. Some of the menu items are different than other places in the area which is nice. Portions were large enough that we all had some left to take home.

Despite being a small corner located restaurant I found the food and service good with more than I could eat and got a take-out box to finish later at home. I give the atmosphere a good rating also because this restaurant is similar to many oriental restaurants Ive been in. I had a lunch special 8.95 (Shrimp Lo Mein) which included fried rice and an egg roll.

Philly cheese steak egg rolls are very good. I absolutely love the customer service. They do water down the yum yum sauce I don't like that but other than that my food is always hot, fresh and good.

Delicious food, generous portions, and really nice employees. I didn’t catch her name but the young lady working the register was really sweet. She made the whole experience wonderful! We will be back.

Drove through AL on a road trip. We ordered dinner here and the food came out better than I had expected. Cashier was very attentive and made ordering easy. The food came out real quick and tastier than I had imagined. Definitely the best Chinese take out in comparison to the other places on this trip.

Ordered the General Tso Chicken (white meat) via DoorDash and it was perfect. Fresh and spicy!
