Hole-in-the-wall basic Chinese-American food. Delicious, generous portions and fast service. The sesame chicken was perfectly crispy. The fried rice had a nice char to it. Veggies were limited to onions and green onions, (which I prefer).

The food is actually good . Service was great coming from a Chinese restaurant. If they tell you the food is going to take 26 min to get ready just add another 15 min on top of it .

I had the Triple Delight, along with hot tea. The meats were savory, the vegetables fresh and crisp. And the wait server was very attentive and pleasant. Prices are reasonable. The sole dine-in flaw was the to-go cutlery and serving container, which I can forgive as this restaurant caters primarily to to-go customers. I would definitely dine here again.

Flew in from CO and just experienced the best Chinese food I’ve ever had in the US so far. We were in the neighborhood and caught a delicious smell of Chinese food, so we wandered around until we found this place and man, the food was as yummy as it smelled! We had cheese wontons, egg flower soup, and chicken with broccoli. The wontons had a thin delicate crispy fry on them and were filled with cream cheese, the soup had a rich broth - one of the best we’ve tried, and the sauce on the chicken with broccoli was so flavorful and the broccoli was still slightly crispy. Not sure who this chef is, but this will be a must go-to every time we’re in Minneapolis. Nice work guys! Delicious food, friendly staff, clean restaurant, at a great price. Go check them out!

This is our go-to Chinese restaurant. We only ever do takeout, so can't say much about the service or atmosphere, but picking up is always easy. We love the orange chicken and vegetable lo mein! Very generous servings.

Great spot for that Chinese food from your childhood small town strip mall. The atmosphere is stark at best and be prepared for some off-putting smells. Grab your food to-go if this might bother you. That being said, the food here makes it all worth while. We ordered the egg foo young and the Szechuan tofu. Service was slow, but the staff here are kind and apologetic -great people. The Szechuan sauce was the perfect balance of salty umami with a touch of sweet, and heat that creeps up on you. The veg really was cooked to perfection. Cooked through, but still a nice crunch remaining. This was my first egg foo young experience and it was great. That brown gravy is special stuff. The best part of the experience after the food, is getting the check. This place is impossibly affordable. Two people can easily split one entree and still have leftovers. If you're looking for that old school strip mall hidden gem, this place will tick that box.

I had picked up some take out and the staff were really friendly. It was my first time trying. I got the lemon chicken with vegetable fried rice and my girlfriend got egg foo young meal! It was way different and better than she expected! And the lemon chicken was so delicious one of my new favorites. The only downside is that they put the lemon sauce in a paper container like they do the rice and it spilled all over my car and sweater lol! But it’s alright the taste of the food really made it worth it! Definitely will be back! And with a Tupperware container for my sauce

Yup, this place has the BEST fried rice around. We also enjoyed the cream cheese wontons because they didn't have anything but green cheese in them. Good orange chicken and Singapore noodles as well. The wonton soup was too overpowering in the carrots and peas flavor for me but the egg drop soup was good.
