_ PART TWO: I wrote Part One of my review (below) the same night I stopped in and bought the food. It took two days before I felt well enough to sit at the computer to come back and revise it to include Part Two. I see from other online reviewers Im not the only one this happened to at this restaurant. I have been sickened on bad food a few times, but I rank this among the absolute worst episodes Ive ever encountered. I had extreme nausea all night. I was finally able to heave everything up the next morning -- quite a relief. But I am still out of sorts more than 48 hours later. You folks had better take a serious look at your kitchen area and cooking staff. ------------------- PART ONE This fairly new little place is clean, with a polite and friendly staff, and the service was very fast. But as for the food, about the best I can say is that it was a tad better than going hungry. My take-out consisted of two egg rolls (none included with any entree that I could find on the menu), and an order of General Tso chicken, which came to just a few pennies shy of 15 bucks. I live exactly three blocks from the place, and this happens to be a cold winter night. But even so, I cant imagine the egg rolls getting so stone-cold so fast. They had to go into the micro first thing. Unfortunately, that didnt help much. I ate about two-thirds of the first one, and tossed the rest. Sub-par egg roll. Grade "D." As for the chicken dish, Id give it a grade of "just adequate, but no more -- C-minus." Although a few of the pieces were fatty, most of it was lean; it was reasonably hot temperature-wise; and the breading was fresh/not soggy, compared to what you usually get with a carry-out of any breaded dish. But it may as well have been made with fast-food "chicken tenders." There was nothing in the way of the usual Chinese spices to give it any zip. Boring and bland. I dished up about half of the boxed portion over rice, and "cleaned my plate" of that much, but I tossed out the remaining half. That sounds like a comment in itself, but Im not trying to say it was terrible -- just that going back for seconds held absolutely no appeal. And warming it up as next-day left-overs? Forget it. If you can imagine McDonalds putting Chinese food on their menu, that about describes it: I basically had a General Tso Quarter Pounder. For what I paid, Id call this pretty disappointing.

The BBQ pork Fried rice is second to none! Also, the egg rolls dont deserve the hate they are getting, they are actually pretty good. Plus the food is fast and relatively inexpensive. It beats so many other late night eats - I highly recommend it after a night out!

Wasnt impressed. Food was relatively cheap but tasted weird, and not in a stylistic fashion, but in a "this is not how food is supposed to taste way". in short I wouldnt advise anyone go here unless you have a stomach of steel, and even then with caution

Best Chinese in the area. Cheap, decent food, fairly fast. They dont open until 4pm, which is strange, especially on weekends, but its a small family running things. (You dont get food poisoning after 2 hours.You just dont.)

My food tasted good and was really hot. And then the stomach cramps came. Nice staff, but I will not eat here again because of the way it made my insides feel.

If youre looking for traditional no-frills Chinese food you wont be disappointed. Fast delivery and the food was very hot.
