    Good spot for quick carry out. It's the go to spot during lunch. Super clean and the employees are nice. Good for take out or eating in.

    Do not order from this place. Their menus change everyday. I ordered from a menu that stated $8.95. Upon calling, I was told it was actually 9.95 plus tax. I placed my order and told her to include the tip on the card.

    The delivery person was the rudest individual I have ever encountered. I have never seen such animosity towards a customer.
    He yelled for a tip in the lobby of my corporate building. I was told the tip was added when I spoke to the person placing my order. I gave him an additional tip so he would shut up. Nasty individual.

    Now as far as food goes, I could've made a better meal ! No Flavor, extremely greasy food.

    Buyer beware this place sucks !!!

    If you're unwilling to travel to another neighborhood and insist on Chinese, then Golden City on 9th & 34th is a better choice though only by the slimmest margins.

    I came here today for their weekday lunch specials (until 3pm) and got a choice of entrée w/ rice and soup (or egg roll) for $9. I went with the shredded pork in garlic sauce w/ wonton soup. A more accurate description would have been bell pepper with fatty strips of pork and dough ball soup. I've never eaten lower quality pork or more doughy wontons. The mixed veges with the pork was primarily bell peppers and mostly undercooked. I also got their "juicy pork buns" which is their way of naming Xiao Long Bao (aka soup dumplings) for $9. These were the doughiest versions I've ever had and I was provided no utensils other than a standard metal fork and spoon so it was a bit of a challenge on how to pick up and eat these.

    The service, prices, and space was ok but I definitely wouldn't come back when there's much better food in the area.

    Went there for a Groupon plus. Chinese people run the place (not surprisingly).  Thought it would be good.  Small portions. Biggest Mistake is how they charge u 18% tip for 2 PEEPS?!  2 entree but didn't even tell me!!  I was about to leave a tip!!  It's a small dinky place and not classy by an means.  You won't get water and you have to buy a drink.  Food is mediocre at best!  The worst is to charge u a tip?!! Cuz I used a credit card?? Why?!!
