Price 39.50 (3 Meals and one appetizer) Very disappointed. A very busy place would give you some hope that it is a decent place. Unfortunately, there was only one server for the place of about 12 tables. Took her almost 15 minutes to come take our order. When she did get to our table, she was distracted by another customer complaining his food was cold. She failed to get our drink order and never once came and asked if we needed anything. Took approximately 15 minutes to receive our order, mind you that is not that bad. Concidering the table that order after us received their order before us. The food was very bland, nothing to give you a wow factor. The sauce on Genral Tso was not at all spicy. The chicken tasted like it was processed and the beef was quite tough. We had to go to the server to get our check because we were tired of waiting for her after ending our meal 15 minutes prior. Overall this was a very disappointing place to dine at and I would not be able to recommend it to anyone, as I will not return.

Been ordering take out from this establishment for the past four years. It was - up until recently - always terrific food. The past few times I ordered it has gone way downhill. General Tsos - to my knowledge is spicy. The order I got was dry, flavorless and terrible. I threw it away. Today I got the fried shrimp and chinese vegetables. The vegetables are great as is the rice but the fried shrimp is obviously left over from at least a day ago. It was obviously microwaved to heat up and again - worthy of the trash barrel. The quality of the food since the remodel of the restaurant has seriously gone downhill. I wont be returning any time soon.

I tried to call in an order for new years. I got screamed at for no reason by the owner and then hung up on. I simply wanted to order food for my family. I asked for the price and she told me she was to busy and that she was the owner and I could either order or not she didnt care and hung up. I tried calling back and she hung up again. How is this place still in business? Lady is a complete nightmare and the food is not even that good

I eat here about once a week for lunch. The food tastes great, the service is very good, and the lunch specials are priced very well. Dinner prices are way too high though. Lunch specials run about $8 before tip. Expect to pay $20-25 for the same meal at dinner. They do give a larger amount of food at dinner... but the lunch portion is plenty. I would prefer to get the lunch portion at dinner time and save the money.

We placed our order on New Years Eve at 2pm. We were told the order would be ready for pickup at 6pm... Others had a pickup time of 5pm and still waiting for their order like us. It is 7:41 pm and still no order. This is unexceptable and everyone that had to wait should get their meals for free or at least a coupon....

Ordered some Curry Chicken and Some Lo Mein. Fantastic. Just as I asked no water chestnuts and came very quickly. The staff has been super nice every time Ive ordered from them and Id highly recommend. My only drawback is that they are a little pricey. Highly Recommend.

This is my go to for awesome lunch. I think its fair to say its one of the better options in the northern Portsmouth area. White meat for her general tsos and sesame chicken won me over.

My wife and I were driving home to Maine and googled Chinese restaurants, what luck to have found this one. Food and service were spot on and extremely clean.

A bit more expensive than other take outs, but well worth it. Fresh, authentic, not the Mickey Ds of Chinese food like that other HK express place!

Best Chinese food in Portsmouth. Standard americanized dishes but done well and at very reasonable prices. Great lunch combos too.

Excellent experience despite an abbreviated new years Eve menu. Excellent general gao chicken, no super deep fried, very fresh.

Orange flavored chicken great - large pieces of white meat. Light batter. Rangoons were okay - wife liked the egg rolls.
