"This is the best Chinese food around! Seriously, I'm not joking. There’s no indoor seating; it’s just a takeout place. If you let them know you’re eating in your car, they’ll even provide utensils. I absolutely love this spot. The roasted rice is amazing, and the crab Rangoon is delicious! All the soups are fantastic, and the Mongolian beef sets the standard for others. The General Tso's chicken is brilliant and reminds me of orange chicken. I could rave about this place endlessly. It’s a cozy little hole-in-the-wall, but it’s exceptionally clean. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. The staff is super friendly, and my food stays hot! We drove an hour to get there, and when we sat down to eat, the food was still steaming. If you're ever in the area and crave hot, delicious Chinese food, I highly recommend this place!"

I remember the Jumbo egg rolls being…JUMBO. Not so much any more. Just slightly larger than a normal one. Huh

I've been coming to this restaurant for years. Even after moving about 30 miles away, it's still my favorite spot for Mongolian beef! I highly recommend it to anyone. View menu

Gilbert’s Kitchen aka Gilbert’s Chop Suey is the best Chinese! I honestly recommend getting nothing but her Jumbo egg rolls with her sweet sauce! It is always better than a linker for whatever reason! But the stuff hits!

The food here is amazing. But the lady that answered the phone was very rude and unpleasant. I had 2 questions about the menu and she was very frustrated that I had asked any questions. When we picked the food up you could see the displeasure on her face. We'll keep this in mind when ordering out next time.

This might just be the best Chinese restaurant in modern history. There aren't enough stars on Google Maps to adequately rate this place. If I had to choose between a heavenly feast and a cardboard box of Gilbert's BBQ pork, I'd pick the rice without hesitation. Next up is Cozy Inn Chinese in Janesville, Wisconsin. View menu

Woman at the counter was rude. Didn't want to sell two large white rices, she said they were running out and doubled down by saying she just didn't want to. Even if I'm paying??!!! With that said, I bought a rice and soup so I could pay via credit. Soup had no flavor. I frequented this restaurant years ago. I moved , came back and must say I'll never return again. It was empty and she was rude. That told me everything I needed to know.

I use to love the food but I guess they changed owners. Egg roll much smaller and insides didn't taste good just a bunch of mush. Chicjen Efy was ok but Gravy was watery with no taste. We we're not sure what happened to the bbq pork fried rice but it wasn't right. Last was the sweet and sour chicken. The chicken was great but the sauce had such little pieces of the vegetables that it was just sweet. Well, even though I use to love this place no more. We will not be back.
