I ordered takeout from this restaurant on July 31, 2009. First, at around 6 pm, the restaurant was empty. I should have known then that I was entering dangerous territory. The waitress that took my order was very terse and rude, and did not seem to want my business. After a long look of the extensive and well priced food on the menu, I decided on pot stickers and chicken lo mein. After placing my order I was not offered a place to sit, nor was I offered any water, which is contrary to the service that I am accustomed to in most Asian restaurants. The food arrived promptly, and the waitress saw me off with not so much as a good-bye. Five minutes later, in the comfort of my living room, I ordered the two take-out boxes that I was given. Six pot stickers were stuffed in one of the boxes, leaving what looked like a jumble of meat and mashed potatoes. I managed to salvage half of one sticker, and nearly gagged after chewing for two seconds. The sauce used for dipping was nothing more than soy sauce--cheap stuff at that. The dough was INCREDIBLY gooey, and the meat was rubbery and tasteless, except for the massive amount of salt and MSG used to flavor it. I tried one more pot sticker, but ended up throwing the rest away. Next, as I dipped my fork (the restaurant didnt provide utensils by the way) into the lo mein, a wave of sour stench hit my nostrils. Reluctantly, I took a bite of the mushy noodles, and will be sorry for the rest of my life that I did. The sour taste masked most of the rest of the disgusting mess that I had just placed in my mouth, but not all of it. The chicken was dry, cold, and bland. The vegetables were obviously old or canned, and the noodles were horrendously over cooked and sour. I threw away the meal after two bites of pot stickers and one bite of lo mein. This was a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE meal. Please, for the love of God, do not go to this restaurant.

First things first... This is easily the CLEANEST restaurant around. It was the first thing I noticed when I walked in the door. The people that operate this restaurant obviously take pride in their establishment, and as I found out, in their food as well. They easily have the best Orange Chicken in Tucson (out of the 10 or so different Chinese Restaurants Ive tried, not including the shopping mall chains). We also tried their Sesame Chicken and Broccoli Beef and both were excellent. Their Egg Drop Soup is delicious, and their Egg Rolls are handmade and perfectly cooked. I dont know why anyone would go up the street to the panda express and get food thats been sitting under a heat lamp for hours when this is really just a block away, incredibly fresh, about the same price (maybe less) and about 100 times better. Im not really big on Chinese food, I get it to keep the peace in my house. I have never cared for it because Chinese restaurants are very hit and miss, and I like good Chinese, but I HATE bad Chinese. This place has me LOVING Chinese food for the first time in my life.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT! My husband and I have been looking for good Chinese food on our side of town (Starr Pass Area) and had almost given up. We have been looking for GOOD sesame chicken, good chow mien and egg foo young. We were very happy to find that this little place fills the bill. When we walked in we were greeted by very friendly people. Ling was our waitress, Philip is the cashier and greeter and his brother Tony is the cook. They have been open for 6 days and are very nice and eager to please. After ordering our egg foo young and chow mien I asked about the sesame chicken and to show us how it is, they brought us a sample of both sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Both were very good and the all of the sauces that we tasted were great!. Very tasty egg drop soup and the egg fried rice was good and the crab wontons too. Please consider this a new restaurant and try it...youll come back!

Veeeeeery mediocre food. We took carry out, and while they were quick, the food we got was boring and a rip-off. The Roasted Pork with Snowpeas is 70% Veggies (Mostly cold Waterchestnuts and carrots) 20% actual Pork, and 10% watery sauce. Im serious. The sauce went up to a little under half the carton. The Beef Fried Rice was soooo blaaaaand and lukewarm. Parts of it were straight up cold. Id expect it to be steaming hot, too hot to even begin to eat as most places seem to make the rice, but not here. Everything was so bland. Even after eating it I dont have a taste in my mouth. Not even a bad taste or anything. It was very disappointing. But then again, its is your corner chinese place, so I dont know why I expected much. Anyone who rated more than 3 stars needs to love themselves.

Large Wonton Soup: the broth was very bland, the cabbage had brown and black spots, the meat/noodles were okay. Chicken and Broccoli: again incredibly bland, but this is what confused me: the plate itself was incredibly hot, the vegetables were warm, and the chicken was lukewarm and some pieces straight up cold. Chicken also had a mealy texture. The service is fine but I definitely wont be coming back here. Other patrons (2 eating in and 2 taking to go at 5pm on a Saturday) seemed to like it. Overall incredibly disappointing.

My family has been eating here for all 23 years this place has been open. If you want very delicious asian cuisine at a very reasonable price, this is the place to go. The owners are always extremely friendly, and the restaurant always has a peaceful mood. If were wanting asian food, this is the only place we come! Keep up the good work! Hopefully you have many more years to come.. I couldnt imagine eating anywhere else! P.S. This nasty review on here is bogus! She must have been having a bad day before she walked in!

I have been going here ever since I moved close by, in July 2016. I have had a number of their entrees (Chicken Chow Mein, Curry Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Shrimp Lo Mein, Chicken Cantonese Chow Mein) and have loved most, if not all of them! Their Chicken Cantonese Chow Mein is my personal favorite, but my roommate is loyal to their incredible Orange Chicken. Super friendly mom-and-pop restaurant at which I always look forward to eating. Its definitely worth a try, to say the least.

Worst place ever to eat, the owner was very rude, and the service was not good. I had a horrible time trying to order food. As that I am in the military and have not a lot of time to move around and get something to eat, this place will never again have the service from me or anyone else I know.

This is the perfect casual Chinese Restaurant. I would recommend this to anyone. Just really good food that tastes very fresh and is well prepared. Very affordable as well with excellent service and portions. Quick tip: Get the potstickers. Theyre pretty epic.
