As a regular here (a couple times a month at least), I will say that I highly recommend this place. 95% of the time, the food is outstanding! My family typically gets the egg foo young (pork or chicken), general tso chicken, or boneless spare rib combinations. The food here beats out all the others in the local Lake Mary/Sanford area (I know because weve tried). Im really particular about egg foo young gravy; their gravy is thick (not runny) and flavorful. Not sure if thats what everyone likes, but I love their gravy.Once in a blue moon (5% of the time), we will get egg rolls that are a little doughy on the inside wrapper. We are a big fan of the krab rangoon as well. I did try the lo mein one time and was not impressed. It didnt taste as flavorful to me, kind of bland. However, it was my first time trying lo mein, so I have absolutely nothing to compare it to; I may not be a big fan of lo mein in general. The place is a little run down looking like you expect Chinese takeout to be; however, I have discovered that those are the places that typically have the best tasting Chinese food. Dont discount the appearance! The people who work here are very friendly. Yen and Jimmy (I hope I spelled the names correctly) are the two of the primary people who are at the counter and are very kind. Prices are outstanding in comparison to others in the area. Dinner combinations are around $8 for dinner size portion of food, rice and a pork fried egg roll. They do have cheaper lunch specials as well. Typically, it takes about 10-15 min to receive your food. Pretty quick - probably about usual. You can call over the phone and then pick up. If theyre absolutely swamped on an evening, it may take closer to 20-25. Bottom line, this is a hidden treasure near the Walmart off Rhinehart. Quality, tasty Americanized Chinese food at reasonable prices. Cheaper than other places in the area for food that wont taste as good. Give it try! Final Note: Best tasting general tso in the Lake Mary/Sanford area.

Ive eaten at this restraint many times and the food was great! How ever it has been a few months since I last ate there, and im not sure what happened with in those few months, but its bad. The food last night was terrible, food was dry, the rice was burnt, the chicken was mostly gristle and had little to no taste, the egg roll had almost nothing inside it and was also tasteless, I was very disappointed. The only thing that decent was the Wonton soup, at least that was still good. At one time I absolutely love eating here, but after last night, I would not recommend it. I certainly wont be eating here again.

We moved to Sanford about 6 months ago and had given up on Chinese take out places. We tried this place based on yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. The food is great, they cook everything to order and the food is packaged well. We often have left overs and can reheat the food in the package. The Krab Rangoons are amazing!!! We tried these tonight for the first time and they are awesome! We usually order honey chicken and general tsos chicken, both are great.

DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER EAT FROM THIS RESTAURANT. NOT ONLY IS IT DIRTY, BUT I FOUND HAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF A PINT OF RICE AND THE MANAGER TRIED TO DENY ME A REFUND AND TRIED TO SAY THAT IT WASNT THEIR HAIR. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I THREATENED TO CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, THAT HE RELUCTANTLY GAVE ME A REFUND. THEY DONT WEAR HAIR NETS AND THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES.

Just a heads up, their food is precooked all they will do is drop the cooked food back in the grease. When it comes out it will be soaked thoroughly with grease. I stood there watched the lady drop my cooked chicken BACK in the grease. When I asked about it she said its still cooked fresh but they drop it back in the grease about every 30 minutes or so.... thats not fresh and NOT COOKED TO ORDER!

Standard Chinese food menu. Wonton soup on several occasions was rather bland. Hot sour soup was spicy but veggie blend was not varied and no wood ear mushrooms. Sweet sour sauce was very bland. Not very sweet but no sour. By the time I thought to add my own vinegar, I was over the food. Nothing spectacular. Not as salty as Panda Express near by.

While Ive only been here once, Id definitely prefer this place over where I usually go. I paid a little bit more (less than a dollar) for boneless spare ribs than where I usually go, but I got nearly twice as much food for the price. The taste is similar, as well as this place giving more sauce on the food than where I usually go.

Ive given them multiple chances and tried different meals and am disappointed every single time. The chicken chow mein is nothing even close to what chicken chow mein is supposed to be. the rice is tough every single time too, curious how many days old it is..

This was my favorite place for takeout for the past five years but this year there was a change in ownership and the food is nowhere near the past. Dont know why the old owners sold it but new cooks just dont live up to the old ones

I enjoy the food here, Ive had the shrimp & broccoli, sweet & sour chicken, and the general tao chicken. The chicken is always cooked real good and the sauces are very tasty. General tao was not very spicy but it was good though.

This is my third time ordering from there and they messed up my order every time I ordered a side of Beef fried rice instead I got shrimp fried rice and the peas in the rice was hard as rocks just not right a waste of my money.

I eat here usually once a week with coworkers. We take out our food and its always ready in "10 minute!" Love the quick service and the price is not bad at all. Their $5.55 lunch special is worth it if youre on a budget.

The food is okay, nothing stands out as amazing and the way they present themselves is pretty close to the quality of Chinese food you will get. Its good in a pinch though however I feel its overpriced for what you get

The vegetable eggs rolls are the best! My favorite thus far. I tried the Krab Ragoon and its basic like so many places....nothing to scream about.

My favorite Chinese in the area. The food is always good and the folks are very nice. My advise is to call ahead because they are usually busy.
