Description

Choosing to pick up your order keeps the meal cheap, whereas prices climb on delivery apps. The kitchen turns out standard takeout fare, from pork fried rice to a General Tso's chicken that features more fried batter than actual meat. While diners often find the food filling and fresh, the experience comes with caveats: some report inconsistent food quality, including occasionally unwashed broccoli, alongside delivery service issues. If you grab the lunch special, it includes your choice of soup or a drink.
