    Order pick-up order wasn't ready at the appointed time, but the wait wasn't excessive & the food tasted good.

    I think it’s very unprofessional for a delivery driver to ask for more of a tip just because it’s a holiday (New Years). He said we are busy and he got mad over the tip I gave. On a regular day this wouldn’t happen. Food was a bit cold tonight too but I expected it to be. Please tell your delivery driver never ask for more money like that to a customer. Thats how you lose business.

    This is the worst Chinese takeout I have ever had. We got rangoons, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, and Mongolian beef. None were good. The beef tasted like gross old beef, was super fatty and thick for some reason. The orange chicken literally tasted like fake orange. It was nasty. I didn't try the kung pao because it's not my fav but my husband hated it. Oh, and the rangoons didn't come with sauce and were mediocre at best. We spent $60 with tax and I didn't even want to eat the food. And we had been drinking so our bar was very low to begin with. Will never order here again.
