Dropped by here last night for dinner with my girlfriend, we were craving some Chinese food and found this spot 7 minutes away from our work!
LOCATION: Same plaza as Target and Chicken Maison off Bristol Blvd.!
PARKING: In a shared lot, so plenty of parking.
RESTAURANT: It feels more like a takeout spot instead of being your typical Chinese restaurant. There are no displays for you to pick your items, you'd have to order from the menu and they ring your food up for you.
MENU: They have a great variety of dishes; a lot are Thai or Chinese inspired dishes. I was really impressed with the selection. Everything is very affordable, you pick your protein to mix in with the entrees. Chicken and tofu start at $8.25 and if you want beef, it's an extra dollar. Not too bad, and they give out HUGE portions. They also have soup and appetizers on their menu as well!
Here's what my friend and I ordered:
Hot & Sour soup cup (5/5): For a soup cup under $5, they gave me a HUGE portion. The soup was loaded with so much tofu and egg drop, I love it. It's really delicious and fulfilled my soup cravings. Perfectly hot and sour.
Chicken Thai Basil fried rice (5/5): This is a MUST! This order was honestly enough to share between 3 people, they gave SO much food and the chicken was so delicious and nicely breaded and crispy. The rice was flavorful and I love the jalpeno slices that come with it. I'd recommend this to anyone!
Orange chicken + white rice (5/5): Huge portion, and the orange chicken tasted hot and fresh. The glaze tastes more citrus than other places I've tried, and I genuinely enjoyed this dish a lot. Definitely a staple!
Wonton in chili oil (4/5): I'm a huge fan of wonton in chili oil and would usually order it if it's on the menu. They gave out 10 pieces for about $8. I felt it was decent, I wish it was a bit more fresh because it was kind of warm when it came out.
CONCLUSION: I definitely like this spot over your typical Panda Express. I felt the food was actually really good for takeout, and the items came out in less than 5 minutes upon ordering! They give out HUGE portions, so it's great to share. I am definitely ordering pick-up for lunch from here more often, especially the Thai Basil fried rice!!!!!!!!!!!! -

This place is pretty close to where I work so I've gone because I've also heard recommendations from coworkers. It's good and there's a decent menu but mainly it's about how you can customize where you can pair a variety of protein with the meal so like chicken, beef, tofu, or others, along with either steamed or fried rice.
Some combinations work better together which they will recommend on the menu. This place specializes in spicy so if that is too much then maybe try and build a tolerance or bring a glass of milk.
The food comes out quick usually though the place is hole-in-the-wall type but still nice and seems to be repeat customers. -

Food is tasty consistently. Portion is quite generous too so I can save half for later.
They make food ready in few minutes so I can start enjoy very soon.
I like this place and will return many times. -

This place is the greatest hits of all Chinese food.
They list all the popular sauces: kung pao, black bean, salt + pepper, etc and you get to choose the protein. Depending on what type of protein you order, it can range anywhere from $8-$11. It's great. You also get a choice between white rice or white rice. Great. There are noodle dishes I'm unfamiliar with so I cannot attest to any of that.
I noticed that many of people phoned in their order beforehand.
I ordered salt and pepper fish + salt and pepper fried fish. It was delicious. It tasted like you were at a Chinese banquet meal - lightly battered, crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. I opted for fried rice in place of white rice.
I'll be back for sure. -

Quick like a fast food restaurant but it's a sit down restaurant? I'm not to sure what this is considered but I love it! You order at the front and whether you eat there or Togo they put your food in a Togo tray. They give huge portions for average Thai restaurant pricing. ($8-$10) each item.
Not even 5 minutes after ordering and they brought it to my table. I ordered the orange chicken and it comes with white or fried rice. I chose fried rice. I also ordered the garlic noodles with chicken. They put so much chicken and vegetables inside. I also got the dumplings in chili oil. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!
Even after I ate the workers were attentive and brought over a plastic bag Togo, without even having to ask. WOW. Will be back next time I'm in the area!
