“ Good food , the restaurant very clean . And Karen she is very friendly and helpful . ”
“ The best Chinese "fast food" restaurant in the surrounding neighborhood. This was the second time I visited this location and this time it really hit the spot. I ordered a Szechuan beef with pork fried rice and a sprite. The ordering process was seamless and courteous. The food was super tasty. So good I had to post this review. Also they give fortune freakin' cookies!! Authentic. ”
“ Support your small/local businesses!! Been going here for the past few years, such an amazing place to grab something quick and also very filling! Portions are great for the price you are paying and the quality is really good. Could not recommend this place more, they also have a boba shop which opened not too long ago which is really great because this area NEEDS a boba spot. ”
“ Haven't tried their Chinese food but the boba place serves some pretty amazing boba drinks and smoothies. Recommend the strawberry smoothie or the classic milk tea with tapioca pearls. ”
“ I truly like their shrimp fried rice,pretty good flavor and prices. ”
“ Ok this definitely WAS the best Chinese food spot in the neighborhood. Huge fan. The last two time I have eaten there the chicken has been slimey and chewy and just plain gross. It would be a shame if the once great quality of this neighborhood gem goes down. I’ll give it another chance and adjust my rating then. ”
“ The food is amazing. Very generous portions. The General Tso Chicken is my go to dish. ”
“ I’ve tried almost every dish at this establishment. The food quality and taste is exceptional, everything cooked beautifully. I recommend the beef with bitter melon, always juicy and seasoned perfectly.I also recommend the chicken with tofu, always generously portioned and savory. The young lady Karen who works the counter is friendly and always greets customers with a smile.Communication and verification of delivery is top-notch, order is always correct. Utensils, napkins and packets of a variety of sauces is always included. Overall, best takeout in Queens. ”
