Gross. We ordered 50$ worth of food. Combination fried rice, chicken fried rice, fried chicken, egg rolls, pan fried noodles and chicken and black bean. Greasiest food Ive ever had it was literally leaking out of every box it came in and stained the table. Even my can of Pepsi had grease on it. The chicken fried rice had under cooked chicken and some of it was brown. The combo rice tastes like its microwaved and the shrimp tasted like powder, also under cooked. The pan fried noodles were burnt to a crisp and flavorless, also had a nice long black hair in it. The egg rolls were out right nasty. Nothing was authentic in the slightest sense of the word. My mom took one bite of the chicken and bean and spit it out. The ONLY reason Im giving 2 stars is because the place refunded most of our money. I would never recommend to anyone!

I wish I could give less!!! We ordered our food an hour and a half ago, as I type this we are still waiting! I called at 11am to order and was told 45 minutes. I called at 12:09pm and spoke with Peter, he told me 10 more minutes for the driver. I called back at 12:27pm, Peter said that he does not know when the driver is going to deliver our food. He said he doesnt want to give me another time and the driver not show up....THIS IS RIDICULOUS! How do you not know when the food is going to be here??? This place should not be in business with Customer Service like this! I asked Peter for the manager and he said his manager is not in, the Managers name is Po.

We ordered our food at 5:50 on a Thursday evening and they told us one hour. It was here by 6:15! The food was hot, and full of flavor. My husband had the Shrimp Egg Foo Young and really enjoyed the gravy and I had the Chicken Curry which held its own against other take out places I have tried in VA and PA. The only thing we were surprised by was the Sweet and Sour Chicken. My kids usually love this but here it was already mixed in the sauce and loaded with pineapples, onions and carrots. One kid loved it, the other hated it. All in all I give this place 5 stars. Give it a try!

I ordered delivery and was told 45 minutes 1hour and 15 min later I called and was told it was on the way. When it finally got here, not only was it cold but was inedible with the exception of the dumplings and rice. The sweet and sour pork was all breading and too sweet and wings were horrible skin wasnt even cooked and gave me indigestion the rest of the day! Do not order from here unless you have no other options. HORRIBLE FOOD.

Hands down, the best Chinese food in the Gaslamp/Downtown/Harbor area. This hidden gem is easily overlooked, or completely missed, sandwiched between a bar posing as a restaurant and a clothing store posing as an art gallery. Service is always great, the ONE wait is always polite and never lets lets your glass go empty. If youre looking for a bougie place to eat, not the spot. You come here for the food, period. They also deliver. :-)

I just ordered General Tso, Potstickers and Fried Shrimp and the entire order was absolutely horrible. The egg roll filling was old and fishy tasting. The shrimp were over-battered and sweaty. The chicken (Tso) lacked flavor, was not fried well, all around bad. The best thing about the meal was the canned soda. Save your pennies and go elsewhere. Very low quality - the worst Ive had anywhere.

I just love when someone reviews a restaurant and then bashes the town they are in, jnolen16 can go back to what ever hell hole they lived in before (see I can do it too) China too has great food, yes it takes awhile to get it but its fresh and hot still Never had a bad order from here, their delivery area is hugh, you pay extra for del outside the downtown area but they will do it

I wish I could put 0 stars. I had them deliver teriyaki chicken to my hotel room and first off, all of the teriyaki juice... yes juice, not sauce... was spilled all over the bag. The chicken looked like rabbit feet, and was totally disgusting. The rice tasted like it was a week old and had an awful smell. Just overall disgusting and a complete waste of money.

I work downtown and this place delivers. The delivery guys are always very friendly and deliver on time for the most part, or even earlier than expected, which is a plus. I usually order the wor wonton soup with noodles. It is delicious! The broth is tasty, the veggies are cooked to perfection!!! 6 bucks for a large 24 oz cup!!! LOVE IT!!

This was by far the worst thing I have eaten claiming to be Chinese food. My food had a FLY IN IT. NOT 1 BUT 2 FLIES. ONE IN THE BAG FOR THE WONTONS AND ONE IN THE TO GO SAUCE! The wontons had literally NOTHING inside them. It was just fried batter. I threw up all I ate before seeing the flies, which wasnt much. Terrible TERRIBLE DISGUSTING

Not bad, typical Chinese food fare...We failed to notice any distinction for "New York style fine Chinese Cuisine"...posted food service inspection rating of "A" was reassuring but incorrect. Visited today for lunch...steamed mixed veggies and chicken with white rice. Chicken was undercooked and pink, too risky to eat. Very dissapointed.

Horrible service. We had 7 people in our group.... The waitress was being such an ass that didnt allow us to sit together..... She didnt want to move 2 tables so that we could sit together.... Even said "well are you going to eat or not"..... I wouldnt suggest this place at all even when reading the reviews.....Be NICER

This place is mushu good! The man owner is kinda scarey cause he yells at everyone, but I think that is why the food is so good! Some people cook with love...this guy just scares his food into leaving his restaurant! Shock treatment hot to go!

The Szechuan Chicken was acceptable, but the General Tsos Chicken was awful. The meat was horrible, I am not sure it was even chicken. Flavor was terrible. I mean even the fried rice tasted terrible. I will say that the dumplings were good.

The general taos chicken was disgusting and didnt taste like chicken. The pork fried rice had something in it but I wouldnt call it pork. Ended up throwing 90% of both away. Would avoid this restaurant if you want a good meal.

I ordered orange chicken and found a large box staple in it. When attempting to simply return it and get my money back, all I got was laughter and they hung up. I strongly urge everyone to avoid this dump like the plague.

The service was terrible. The waitress was rude, she refused to give me any advice. The food is horribly dry and salty. Most importantly, the waitress put a tip on the check herself and I just have to pay it.
