Don't know because it surely isn't #1

I was here for lunch in Nov 2022. The door was either jammed or locked and without the open sign I might have assumed they were closed.The sign caught my eye driving down the street as amusing. Everyone always claims to be the best but few put it in their restaurant name. It amused me enough to give it a shot.Despite the restaurant sign, I don't see any Japanese food on their menu. The name here (and menu name) do not say Japanese so I assume their they had it and it went away or they are not motivated to change their sign. That's probably a big deal to anyone driving by who sees the sign and stops in but wasn't for me.Their menu is pretty diverse but standard "American" Chinese fare. Ended up getting Sesame Chicken, Hot and Sour Soup, Beef Chow Fun, Walnut Shrimp and 2 orders of spring rolls.Without specifying, the Sesame Chicken came as a lunch portion (which makes sense, I went at lunch and didn't say, tho I wanted dinner so it was a surprise). It was (also) a surprise to me that came with fried rice which I generally don't care for but my SO said was good. I actually think they may have done this because I said Hot and Soup Soup which they assumed was a combo. My SO also said this was good.Walnut Shrimp (at home advertised as Honey Walnut Shrimp) is probably my favorite American Chinese food dish but not all places carry it. This place did not disappoint. They only had a few pieces of brocolli but no-one orders Walnut Shrimp for the health value if they know what it is :PThe chow fun was good (for those uninformed it's like lo mein but with wider noodles - also not carried everywhere).The sesame chicken was average (but the last sesame chicken I had was terrible so it was a welcome up trending change :P).The spring rolls were not well cooked but on reheat they were perfect.As far as the place itself, it was pretty empty. I'm honestly not sure if they have dine in or not. There was a side room with tables but there was a big curtain which made it look inaccessible. There are 4 wooden padded chairs for waiting. The staff is friendly though I was struggling to understand the person who took my order and I'd say I'm decent with accents. But all ended up well.Ultimately, I would recommend this place if hungry for Chinese and in the area but it definitely was not #1. But perhaps in that area it is ;)

The wonton soups were good. My sons chicken lomein was also good.But my pork fried rice was not very good. The rice tasted dry and over cooked. Not sure if the rice was even fresh. Not impressed.

In town on a business trip and stuck at the motel. I hop on Yelp and find this spot that also delivers! I ordered vegetable lo mein and general tso for delivery to my motel. The food arrived in less than 20 minutes, was hot and flavorful. Nothing special but not bad either. The driver was friendly and my order was correct, even with the extra pair of chopsticks. If you're in the mood for some affordable take out Chinese food, this place seems to hit that spot.

I think most chinese is like a 3.2 but this place just tastws cardboard old and slapped together for sure. Lychee is better. They are unique in the bean sprouts but hard to get past that.

For what it is, it's my favorite Chinese place in town that has delivery - of course it's the Americanized typical Chinese take out menu , but for Altona can't ask for much more - their veggies r fresh and crispy and they give good portionsThey are super duper fast for delivery - I would order more if I could order online though, I hate calling - anyplace where I can order online I order more often - they used to use beyond menu online ordering but stopped and I'd say I order about 3 times a year now whereas before I ordered at least monthly

Auuuughhh... I liked this place until my second visit. First, it's in a weird location. It's in a strip mall, but you can't access it from the rest of the mall, only the main road.Like Michael L., I love that they have General Tso's Tofu! It is the only tofu item on the menu, though, which is a shame--kung pao would be really good. Still, it's more variety than some places in the area.Why two stars? Last order, my date and I ordered a tofu dish and a chicken dish, but somehow we ended up with two chicken dishes. As a vegetarian who lives 30 minutes away, this was about as disappointing as it can get. We were the only people in the restaurant--the cook actually took our order--so I can't see where the confusion could have come from.Check your order if you go here! :(

Ordered a Szechuan chicken lunch special to have at my office for a quick lunch. When I went to eat it there was not a single piece of chicken in it. I ate my rice and couple pieces of broccoli and realized there wasn't ANY chicken in it. I called over and explained what happened and the lady said that it did have chicken in it and she didn't believe me and said I may have eaten it and just said that. I order there often and was surprised at how rude and argumentative she was. She said I had to return the meal in order to replace it but I only have 30 min lunch. I will never order here again or anyone at the office after her accusing me of lying about the chicken

This used to be a favorite of ours. Biggest disappointment is the last two times we've ordered- no fortune cookies! Today I wrote on the order "don't forget the fortune cookies" but still didn't get any. So I called and was told no more fortune cookies unless you ask-which i had done. Come on--a 75 dollar order and you can't throw in a few lousy cookies????
