Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No - it's counter-service takeout with minimal seating. Save this for casual solo meals or family dinner pickups, not romantic occasions.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Not applicable - this is primarily takeout with maybe 2-3 small tables. Call ahead to place your order for fastest pickup.
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely - kids love the sweet orange chicken and generous portions. Perfect for feeding picky eaters on a budget. No high chairs since it's takeout-focused.
How far in advance should I order party trays? Call 24 hours ahead for party trays. They need time to prep the massive quantities, especially on weekends.
Is the food authentic Chinese or Americanized? Fully Americanized - think orange chicken, sweet and sour, fortune cookies. If you want regional Chinese cuisine, look elsewhere.
Best For
Better for: Best for massive portions at rock-bottom prices when feeding a crowd or family. Unbeatable value on party trays. Friendly service from owners who remember regulars.
Skip if: You want authentic regional Chinese cuisine, upscale ambiance, or a sit-down dining experience. Also skip if dietary restrictions are important - limited accommodation ability.
