I've driven by this place over a 100 times and never thought to stop in. I decided to give it a go (without reading yelp reviews) and judging it for myself.
First, the place looks like your typical heat lamped Chinese fast food joint. There are about 8-10 different selections to choose from. I chose the two-item broccoli beef and curry chicken combo w/steam rice and chow mein.
The thing I noticed was that they pile it on. Enormous servings! The lady wouldn't stop ladling the food onto the plate (I even wanted to let her know it was enough, lol). So, at $8.25 after tax, you definitely get a good value.
The food left a lot to be desired, however. The broccoli was cooked al dente (good!), the beef was looking like jerky (not good!). The curry chicken was a little bland or lacking the strong curry flavor I expect. The chicken did seem a tad undercooked (slightly pink) so I decided to quit eating it. The rice was cooked just right but the chow mein was overcooked (too soft and mush).
The service was okay. Not much dialogue except for,
Him: "Cash or card?"
Me: "It'll be cash"
Him: "$8.25"
.......and no thank you after paying. The woman scooping the food was friendly though.
I will probably end up driving past this place like I've done a 100 times before but I don't think I will stop the next time. -

My family and I love this place. The owners are very friendly and personable. I've never had one complaint about anything. The food is always so fresh and delicious and cooked just right. I will be stopping by for some of their yummy fresh fruit bowls more often.

I liked the bbq pork a lot, they brought it out fresh and so was the chow mein. First time here, the guy was really nice and let me sample a lot. Been wanting to try this place, will be coming back.

The 1-star is because the place is clean. That's about as good as it's gonna get at this place. Prices are average but the customer service is vaguely ok at best. The lady just rushes you even though I was THE ONLY ONE there! But even worst, THE FOOD HAS NO FLAVOR AND THE MEAT IN THE BROCCOLI BEEF IS VERY SUSPICIOUS! At best it's the clippings that's about to go bad and they get on clearance, throw some sauce and broccoli and taddah!! If it's cow meat at all. ORANGE CHICKEN is bland .. literary tastes like nothing. FRIED RICE is bad .. just no flavor at all. Chow Mein is ok. Never going back to this place. I was looking for a decent chinese spot in the area but this won't be it.
