a takeout box with noodles and meatballs

The drive-in experience is incredible! It's a different kind of ambiance. The service is always quick and efficient at this drive-through. The food is generous portions for the price. This trip, we had to wait a little bit, but we received fresh food, so no complaints from us! This is our favorite because we can drive through and go home to eat.

This is based on just the noodles , I ordered just a lo mein , (I'm not a meat eater for 2 years ) and wanted to update my review, I think if you eat meat or sides with the lo mein it gives it flavor or the meats sauces are soo sweet that the lo mein has to be bland to balance it out?!?! Who knows , with that said this is the worse lo mein I ever bought!!! Store box lo mein would be much much better!!! There are no veggies , flavor , nothing , I had to take it home and fry to fix it!! It was just not good at all so I'd pass if your just wanting lo mein noodles quick .... The owners are very friendly!!!

Good food. Fairly long wait times for walk in service. Staff was friendly, and restaurant eas clean. We will frequent again. But will call in order to speed up delivery on arrival.

One of the great mysteries of yelping is the phenomenon of how your expectations of a place effect your eventual rating. If I have high expectations for a place and they aren't met, is that the reason I rate something lower? Is it really an accurate rating if I have expectations that exceed the ability to be met? On the other hand, should a place get a high rating because my low expectations were met or exceeded? Well folks, with those burning mysteries in mind, picture this: a chinese food joint that looks to be in a condemned building, surrounded by empty parking lot during the lunch rush, a partially handwritten menu, and A DRIVE THRU. DRIVE. THRU. What type of expectations would you have for this place? That the food be merely means to an end? The end being a bowel movement? A little higher? A little lower? Maybe you were expecting a fortune cookie, they can't screw that up, right? A spork, that most favored of chinese food eating utensils? I bravely sidled up to the drivethru menu, and ordered the "special combo" allegedly with general tso's chicken, fried rice, and egg rolls. After driving up to the window I noticed the sole patrons inside the restaurant were two women who seemed to be enjoying themselves, although I can't recall if they were actually eating or had not received their food yet. Most likely they were in some type of euphoric trance preceding death.I paid the nice lady and got my food in a lovely foam container to take back to my place and eat. I am one of those "purchase lookers", even though I know what I bought I still like to look at it once I get it within my possession, not to eat it, just to check it out and see what all is there. I do this with clothes, food, everything. My most favorite thing to do when driving home from the mall is to dump out everything I just bought in my car and rehash the shopping trip and discuss my purchases with my unwilling passenger. Alas, I digress. I resisted the urge to look at the food, knowing that if I didn't like what I saw before eating it, it would taint this very yelp review. I got home, immediately sat down, opened my box of food, and...You know yelpers, I would never lie to you, I may have delusions of grandeur, but I will never lie about food and/or services I review. So you will believe me when I say: ...this food was radioactive colored. Like nuclear waste colored. The lo mein was neon yellow, and the chicken was neon orange. My eggroll sauce literally seared my retinas with how bright it was. I am actually the type of person that gets really excited about things such as this, because I love telling stories about it later to impress my friends. For some people, it's doing extreme sports and then waxing poetically about being close to death... for me, it's eating questionable food and then describing the experience to you poor saps. I did not die after eating the first bite, or the second, or the third. The chicken was really tasty, the eggrolls were expertly fried, and the rice was edible. The nuclear lo mien left alot to be desired. The radioactive eggroll sauce was THE BOMB! (ha, see what I did there?)I wanted to write the review AS I WAS EATING THE MEAL... which would have been so amazingly hardcore. There is probably an award for that. But then I got to thinking... what if I die after posting it and now all of these people think that this chinese drive thru that just murdered me is a good place to eat? There would be no one to refute my story... I could not let this be. So I resolved to review the place EXACTLY 24 hours later, after all reasonable suspicion of death by chinese food were gone. This was by far the most exhilarating mediocre chinese food I have ever eaten, for reasons stated above. It's not fresh, it's definitely not healthy, but it's damn good and you don't have to get out of your car to get it. The drive thru thing should be reason enough to give this place a try and impress your friends with your extreme eating adventures.

Well I've eaten at this place for years, it's not always like super great but it's pretty subpar Chinese food and my 11 year old likes it, the boy loves processed food "insert eye roll" I picked this up today on the way back to work and always get an egg roll as in it's my favorite item, it was really gross slightly mushy and night crispy like they usually are. I ordered the special combo with 1/2 lo mein and rice and orange and sweet and sour chicken. The sweet and sour chicken was cold! You could tell they had been sitting for awhile. So I moved on to the orange chicken which was warmer but still pretty cool and could tell it had been sitting. Now to the rice it was hot and bland but enjoyable, I cook plain white rice for dinner a lot so it didn't bother me, the lo mein was discolored and super chewy and again not warm, it was very disappointing, I also ordered a large Pepsi, I always order extra ice everywhere I go and decided that I wouldn't this time as I've never had a problem with them putting ice in my cup, he handed it to me and seriously felt like maybe 2 pieces were floating in my cup, this left me sad and cold and deserted by a mediocre place that I usually can be left at least full maybe not satisfied and not sit here with remorse by what this is going to do to my stomach later.

I mean it's what you expect (except the very obviously not Asian man that seamed to speak the local language pretty well) pack the boxes high with chicken topping, and don't just load on rice like a lot of places, good local food.

It's your average Chinese takeout place. The large portions make up for the things it lacks. The variety of chicken options are hit or miss, half the time the chicken is soggy. When it's good, it's pretty good tho, which is why we go back. The one thing I'll never get again is their "lo mein". It's plain noodles with absolutely no sauce to them so they basically stick together. Stick to their rice.

If I could put a lower mark I would.Horrible food experience EVER.Bad Sweet and Sour chicken. Dry with no sauce. Tried to take it back because it tasted horrible and the lady behind the counter said "You ordered it, I refuse to give you anything else to eat unless you pay for another meal"Walked out with nothing to eat and money down the drain.I will never be back and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

I rarely ever do a review on an establishment, but this one deserved it. This place literally has no flavor on anything. They don't use seasoning at all, not even salt and pepper. The mushroom chicken literally looked like boiled chicken with zero seasoning on it whatsoever. The pepper steak was bland with no seasoning. The noodles tasted like straight flour and the rice was horrible, might as well just have been steamed white rice so at least you don't expect anything. This place is the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever tried. Threw the whole plate in the trash.

Food wasn't good at all, very bland! 10 mins after eating it my stomach began to turn and rumble, and now I'm quite sick to my stomach! Wouldn't recommend, go to the Chinese place next to the big jumbos on willow! Amazing food, good prices!
