Excellent customer service she was very informative very friendly and made us me and my family feel welcomed. I love Chinese food my favorite food of all but this made me Love Chinese food even more if that's even possible. Really nice atmosphere and would definitely come here again.

The employees are very cordial and efficient. The food is very good and never had a bad meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for great Chinese food!

Take out. 15 minutes total ordered via Yelp app. Szechuan Chow Mein Noodles - think pork chow mein with chili. The portion was huge! Thank you for that. I enjoyed the crispy parts of the meal. Can tell they used a good wok. I've never had Szechuan style chow mein before so not sure what to compare to. Just really enjoyed the portion size and the flavored pork.

Delicious food abundantly served. Visited with my mom and we ordered the dinner for two. It was enough for 3 meals!

Good orange chicken, veggie chow mein, potstickers, and really likes the fried chicken wings

We ordered takeout for our first time here. I would say the portions are nice we got sweet & sour chicken and Mongolian beef! Everything was tender and veggies were cooked nicely. The only think I would like in the future is if they don't substitute the chicken for so many pineapples. We will be trying this place again for their dinner menu.

I was in the area and wanted to try something new and found this place looking at google maps list of food places near me. I ordered 3 $11.95 dinner specials. The first was orange chicken with chow mein which was really really good. It had a sligjt sweetness to it, the breading almost taste like funnel cake which was yummy. The second special I got was general chicken. It also had a really good flavor and wasn't spicy like other general chickens I had. The last special I ordered was sweet and sour pork with pork fried rice. I'm not a huge fan of rice in general but this rice was still pretty good. The sweet and sour pork was tender and had a good strong flavor. I split the plates with someone else and they loved everything but the general chicken was their favorite. As for me, I liked all 3 and can't decide which one was better. I would get all of them again and they all had such different flavor profiles it's impossible to choose. They have the best chow mein I've ever tried out of all the Chinese restaurants I've tried in Antelope, North Highlands or Rio Linda. It has a char flavor to it that sets it above the rest. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know I normally order a few things to see if I should even come back. the first thing is Salt & Pepper Chicken or Shrimp. It's one of those dishes that sounds easy, and it kind of is if they know what they're doing. and also at least one other dish from the menu that's like a lunch or dinner special. This place has an interesting twist on Salt & Pepper Chicken, they added Asparagus. Yeah, this little addition made it SOOOO much better. everything was crisp and crunchy not unlike a tempura. The spices could have been kicked up a bit. Normally this dish adds Szechuan pepper to make it interesting but I didn't taste the telltale buzz of the ground Szechuan pepper and the usual sliced almost carmelized onions were missing as well, maybe because of the asparagus. Overall it was good, MUCH better than most of the other mediocre Chinese restaurants around Sacramento. (yeah I said it again, Sacto has a dearth of decent Chinese joints!). The other thing I got was one of their lunch specials: Mongolian Beef with Chow Mein. For a cheap lunch special, it was surprisingly good! The Chow Mein actually had lots of flavor and there was lots of it with plenty of veggies and BBQ pork. The Mongolian Beef is normally something I avoid, but I'm SO happy I got it here. The beef was super tender and flavorful lots of beef and other veggies. . I like this place and will come back to try other dishes and see if it's good enough to be part of my regular rotation of places to grab a bite. A solid 4 stars for this meal.

First, Cindy was great. very professional taking my order and answering questions. I hadn't been here before so had a few re: MSG use, use of low sodium soy if possible. Next, I was CRAVING POTSTICKERS. I found theirs to be superior. They are deep fried, that's a first. Their dipping sauce wasn't very salty, a hint of sweetness , snd very tasty. I also like mine spicy, so had requested chili oil and was given a 2oz container (same size as the dipping sauce). Perfect balance. I dumped both on the potstickers, and they sucked in the mixture. OH! SO! GOOD!! To accompany this I got a house fried rice which had chicken, BBQ pork & beef. So very tasty. Lovely pan bits from the stir frying, the scallions obviously in towards the end of the cooking process. YUM!!! I can't wait to return and experience other dishes. Their menu looked pretty extensive. Sadly, my photos are not very good. My rice photo didn't capture.
