Good, reliable American Chinese takeout. Excellent wonton soup (a quart gives you 10 wontons, which is generous and most appreciated). I had gallons of this while I was down with COVID in January and I think it sped my recovery. I tend to get pork or beef dishes here because their chicken has an odd texture -- much too soft. I think they over-velvet their chicken (a technique used to tenderize meat that uses either egg white or a small ampount of baking soda). But the roast pork is great. My go-to selections:Wonton soupYat gaw mein soupSteamed dumplings (thick wrapper with good texture, juicy pork, and the best dipping sauce anywhere)Egg foo youngMoo shu pork -- better than most in a sweetish brown sauce. Excellent pancakesRoast pork mei funRoast pork with mixed vegetablesNo one should expect gourmet food from a neighborhood takeout joint. This isn't G58. But it's good, hot, tasty, made with care, and inexpensive. A family-owned business worth supporting.

I recently moved to NC from out of state, so I'm always on the lookout for good food. Someone I met told me this place had such good Chinese food.I'm here to say it does NOT. I went for the first time tonight, and this is how it went:We arrived at almost 7pm, there was no one inside, but right as we ordered, a line began to form. We placed our order and waited. After 10 more people came in and ordered, it was crowded, so I thought, "This place must be good!" The food is not good.Customer service was terrible as well.We watched the person who took orders, cooked with one other person, then bag food, and gave it to people who walked in and ordered more than 20 minutes after us.Unacceptable! These were not call-in orders.I asked if our food was ready, and she said yes and handed someone else their food.We waited almost an hour to receive our food after watching several people walk in, order, pay, and then receive their food. Our order was relatively small.Terrible service. (Strike 1)After we finally received our food, we drove home to eat our broccoli and beef, chicken fried rice, and a few other items.The rice was not good, and I'm not accustomed to yellow rice as fried rice. (Strike 2)Finally, the beef was pink in some spots inside, and some parts of the chicken inside the chicken fried rice were raw ( Strike 3)I don't know if this was because they rushed and were overwhelmed by the influx of people - but this was the worst I've had in years.I'm very disappointed in how we were treated and how the food was served.Now, there were only 2 people on staff, so obviously, they need help, but this was a first-time experience that will never be repeated.I only gave 2 stars because the fried chicken wings were cooked, and the crab ragoon was mediocre.Otherwise, it would be a '0'We did not like it, and this place was packed. So now I think people don't know that there are indeed much better options, and they simply must be accustomed to this place.But never again. Very disappointed, and if I wasn't so tired, I would drive back and ask for a refund and give them their food back.

Tl;dr: Tasty American-Chinese food and hardworking staff. BE NICE TO THE STAFF. Also: GREAT CRISPY WINGS Visited on a Sunday and expected a wait because they were not answering their phone, and by the time I got there, the line was about three customers deep. The worker at the front spoke English well, but some of the customers had a hard time understanding her, so they marked their order down on the paper menus that they had at the front. This is a very clever way to avoid miscommunications, however the customer seemed annoyed at it. By the time I got to the front, I had decided. We ordered the pineapple chicken, veggie lo mein, egg drop soup, and chicken wings. The worker was very nice and helped me answer some other things I had questions about such as: "Is the szechuan chicken crispy?" to which she answered that it is not. The order took about 30 minutes to come out, which seemed to upset some customers who probably weren't expecting it to be busy (give them a break, please, you're deciding to order out food on a weekend night). The pineapple chicken was a breaded a fried boneless chicken dish, tossed in a rich and sweet gravy seasoned with a veggie mix and pineapples. This is a good very mild alternative to their sweet and sour chicken or any of its variations. The veggie lo mein was great. Tender noodles stir fried with chow mein sauce and vegetables. The vegetables were a standard mix, but its flavor was good, and it came piping hot. The egg drop soup was mildly flavorful, with a lot of egg ribbons in it, but was way too thick. Some restaurants prefer to serve a very thick egg drop soup, but I think there was too much cornstarch slurry in this one. I have a secret: My favorite place to get chicken wings are at chinese takeout places. They do a fantastic job with seasoning and tenderizing their chicken so that when it's fried, the batter is crispy while the insides are tender and fall off the bone. This place did it well. There's a reason why a lot of people had chicken wings in their order here. Visit here if you're craving Chinese takeout food, get their wings, and be nice to the staff.

I love mom & pops Chinese restaurants. It could either be a hit or a miss. This one was a special hit! I was quite impressed! I was craving simple Chinese takeout and this place did the trick. I ordered some shrimp and broccoli, which came with a side of white rice. The portion didn't seem a lot at first but once I poured it on my plate, WOW! Shrimp & Broccoli - The sauce complimented it just the way I like it. There was just enough sauce to give it a kick. The shrimps were huge! Most places cheap put on the shrimp. The broccoli also had a nice bite and crunch to it. Dumplings: Must have! Not your typical dumplings. Super flavorful with a nice texture to the wrapper. It also came with a special sauce that was out of this world. Overall, good customer service! Constant traffic during dinner time, which means that it's good!

Food was very oily ...and extremely deep fried. Pork fried rice was very basic (was more like yellow rice with a few pieces of roast pork) Egg roll was a standard pre frozen piece.. ...and then refried again to reheat. The chicken in the general tso was overly fried, which makes me think it was pre fried and just reheated over and over again. Was a bad experience for this type of food. They need to really focus on more their customers, time management, and quality control.Really ws hopeful after seeing some reviews, but in the end, the food did not live up to expectation. I think the garbage saw more of the food than my stomach.

In search of another pleasing Chinese restaurant, we ended up here. The ambiance is good. The service was courteous. We ordered Cantonese Chicken, and Roast Pork Egg Foo Young The Cantonese Chicken is made with frozen chicken (like from Tyson's), it seems to spoil the texture of the dish, as well as the blend. The white rice is cooked perfectly as well as the broccoli!The Roast Pork Egg Foo Young was burnt, gravy was so-so, you don't get a full container of gravy, it tasted like salmon for some reason (the eggs). I would not order this again from them or the Cantonese Chicken, however, we are open to try again; something else from here.

Slow as molasses. Will not give you any estimate for pick up that is reliable. Not sure what happened. They were reliable with pick up time and also much quicker with prep. One thing is, phone orders I noticed will be finished once you are in store and anyone placing order in person will get their food prepped ahead of phone orders. Food quality is still the same and amount is still reasonable. We usually get lunch special to save money and a large soup - which is plenty for two meals for two adults. But because prices went up so much, we now order wonton soup instead of hot and sour soup. The fried wontons we save as snack for the evening movie.

I would not recommend this restaurant. The soy milk tasted like water with A BUNCH of sugar. There was no flavor and even if there was, I didn't like it. I did not like the food. The service was slow but the staff was pretty nice. What really disgusted me was when I saw the staff sweeping the floor and then (with the same broom) sweeping the chairs! The atmosphere was not great. The table was tilting and my chair was wiggly. The restaurant was also very dirty. Again, I don't recommend this place.
