• The egg foo yung's are very good, even better than the salt and pepper chicken!
• The waitress are umm but the food is great.

“The salt and pepper is outstanding, I have not had Chinese food this good since I left Chicago. If you love good food that is full of flavor this is you place. If I had to describe the taste of the food in one word it would be" Wonderful." Most restaurants that serve great food, may not have the best looking decor. If you want really good food and a really good price this is your spot. Guys, you take your lady out and still keep it affordable. Parents you can take your children out and have a great time, because the food is slamming.”

• Salted pepper chicken wings & Orange Chicken.
• Too crowded restaurant is too small.

“I just recently tried the restaurant out, and I loved the food. They have the best Orange Chicken and the best Salted pepper chicken wings I have ever tasted. There beef and broccoli is also really good and tasty. I just wished the restaurant would be a lot bigger because it tends to feel pretty crowded in there. For those who are just on the go you should definitely call to order first.”

• Great food served by people who act like they appreciate good food.
• Too many people coming and going through a small entryway.

“The absolute best salted pepper chicken wings anywhere. I used to work nearby, but I still drive over 20 miles just to have those wings. The catering is great, and the service is always friendly. The atmosphere is ok, but with the volume of people coming in for great big trays of wings and other specialties, it could never be described as "romantic." I have eaten here dozens of times, and I have never had a bad bit of food. Highly recommend. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.”

• Food is great.
• Line is slow.

“Best BBQ in national city! They could definitely work in speeding up the line. They could use another register. I've waited up to 20 minutes, but the food makes up for it. Kind of dark and dingy in there so take your food to go unless you like having deer heads watching you while you eat.”
