"Unfortunately, they've had issues retaining delivery drivers, so they no longer offer that service. However, their food prices are fantastic for the portion sizes—probably some of the best deals around. The food is very good overall. Their rice is decent; it's the usual yellow, fried rice that most Chinese restaurants in the area serve, often lacking in vegetables and eggs. What sets them apart is their extensive appetizer menu, which includes some Spanish options like boquitas and fried sweet plantains. My go-to dishes include their bourbon chicken, chicken wings, soups, fried scallops, spare ribs, chicken fingers, beef teriyaki, various broccoli dishes, and egg rolls. I usually request extra bourbon sauce for the bourbon chicken to prevent it from being too dry; it's flavorful and grilled just right. They make their own egg rolls, which I like to order in large batches to snack on for a few days. Unlike many places that serve frozen, store-bought egg rolls mostly filled with cabbage, theirs are made with plenty of cabbage and minced BBQ spare rib meat. I also enjoy their fried sugar donuts, which remind me of tiny fried dough bites, but softer. Their fried apple sticks are great when they’re crispy and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, although I once ordered them and they turned out chewy, without any cinnamon sugar, tasting quite doughy. Most of their lunch and dinner combinations are solid. Overall, I highly recommend giving this place a try. My rating reflects the quality of the food rather than the dining area or its location."

"After seeing this restaurant being mentioned on a neighborhood forum I decided to give them a try. I ordered R3 pork fried rice, Pad Thai chicken, H1 triple delight, and two A3 spring rolls. The triple delight was very good. I had to stop myself from eating it all in one sitting. The R3 pork fried rice was a meal in itself and I should have ordered a pint of it instead. The A3 spring rolls were good and we got a bonus as one of the spring rolls was actually a shrimp roll. It is because of the Pad Thai chicken that prevents me from rating this restaurant 5 stars. This Pad Thai chicken was the closest so far to being like what we used to get from Amarit Thai in Palm Harbor, Florida. It is because of the undercooked noodles that kept it from being really good. I will definitely will be back as I feel the undercooked noodles was just an anomaly. The triple delight was a delight along with the spring rolls and pork fried rice. I should mention that as of 1/27 when I placed my order the dining room was closed and pickup orders are placed on a table in the lobby by the front door. When I arrived the front door was wide open and my order was indeed sitting on the table by itself. I understand they are trying to protect their staff from Covid but if I hadn't arrived early I am concerned the cold temperature might have affected my food or someone could wander in and take my order before I arrived. I have not seen any other restaurants handling to go orders in this manner."
