I wasnt sure what to make of the restaurant when we arrived. The parking lot was empty and so was most of the surrounding area. I am glad my husband and I stayed. Our waiter was really nice, and the food was tasty. I try to avoid wheat so I tend to order dishes with white sauce. When I do have meat, (it’s a once a week tendency for me) I prefer poultry or any sea/ocean creature. The menu actually listed how the meat was cooked, the vegetables included, and the sauce. To be honest, I’ve never had a flavorful white sauce dish before, but this restaurant’s Moo Goo Gai Pan was delicious. My husband also enjoyed his General Tso’s chicken. I took a bite, and it was also very flavorful. I dont know what they do differently, but I prefer it. One complaint would be the iced tea. My husband didnt like it and said something was off. I took a sip, as well, and he was right. He ended up ordering a soda. Anyway, I was more than satisfied with my hot tea. As for the environment, it was average and clean. I took pleasure in seeing real plants used as decor.

While the outside might be a bit of an eye sore, there is more than meets the eye. Upon walking in the atmosphere was one that gave off s relaxing and friendly vibe. You were greeted and were able to find a table/booth of your liking. Immediately you are attended to and the waitresses help with delight. The food is my favorite part. Not only were prices good but the food for your money is an amazing value. To start the meal, you get the chose of 3 different soups. After you get a large portion entrée that is enough to last you At least a couple meals. Finally you are brought out a cookie for dessert and a fortune cookie for the road. This is definitely one of the best chinese places in Colorado Springs. It is quite a drive, but definitely worth it!

Dont let the exterior fool you. It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but its hiding a true gem. The service was first rate, the food was excellent, and the portions were impressive for the price. We got one dinner combo for two people and still had enough to take home lunch for tomorrow. The other thing we noticed is that its clean. Truly clean. No sticky residue on the edges of the table. Even the molding on the wall was dusted. All in all a great place. We just found a new favorite.

This is one of those little hidden gems that you can really only find by word of mouth. Do yourself a favor and go there. Especially good is the kung pao chicken. They made it extra spicy for me, and it very nearly burned my face off! Thats a good thing though. The service is also excellent. They all know me by name, even though I havent been going more than once every few months. Very highly recommended.

I love this place. We used to go to Overseas 101. When the owner (Joe) sold it we found this place. When we walked in we discovered Joe is waiting tables here. I have never had bad service from Joe. He is very friendly and treats everyone with a smile and a laugh. The food here tastes great, good portions and reasonably priced. Other reviews may say something else but, try this place and you will be pleased.

Great little restaurant, and very reasonably priced. Vegan/Vegetarian options, and whom I assume to be the owner serves you in a very timely manner, and is very attentive yet manages to be uninvasive, a difficult task. Five stars. This place serves as a great place to go alone, on a casual date, with your family, or even group lunches with co-workers.

I have been here multiple times and have never had anything short of an amazing experience. The building does look a little run down. That being said, the service is great, food quality is fantastic, and its almost never busy for sit down. We go here weekly. The lo mein is the best in town, sesame chicken is crisp and tasty!

Food was awesome and they have huge portions. Not too expensive either. Guy working the register (might be the owner) was very friendly and social. Second visit he gave me a free serving of Orange chicken just because they made too much. I recommend the sesame chicken, orange chicken and chicken rice noodles.

I had the crab rangoons and volcano shrimp and they were magnaninous! Will return, again and again. The sodas are canned, but refills are free for dine in customers. Dont let the exterior or location fool you! I dont leave many reviews, but I have been here several times and every time is amazing!

This is the best Chinese place in the springs! They are beyond affordable and offer generous takeout portions. I must also add ..the staff is extremely courteous and kind. My family frequents this spot..and I can feed my family of five for under forty dollars...with leftovers!

This is a cute little place in an unexpected part of town. Very reasonable prices with amazing portion sizes and delicious flavors. Way better than a chain Chinese restaurant and the best Chinese food Ive had in the Springs!

This place is amazing! The chef is an outstanding cook and the staff provides excellent service. Recommend Mongolian beef, peking crispy beef and cashew chicken. Although you will like anything you try there.

The food is the best Chinese food I have had in the Springs so far and is relatively cheap for what you get. The only negatives are the area and the building could use some updates.

The service was great and the feel of the place but that didnt match the horrific food that came out of the kitchen if you want Chinese food do not go there
