If You Want Real Crispy Orange Beef This Is Your Place
It had been a few years since I'd eaten here. Its in a somewhat odd spot, that is the edge of the downtown area.
I decided to try something new this visit, the Crispy Orange Beef., it was pretty good, kinda over the top on the orange flavor, with tons of orange peel cooked into the sauce, giving some of it a bitter flavor. I actually started removing the chunks of orange out, as chewing on them was overpowering.
We also ordered the tempura shrimp, which was pretty good. Nothing overly amazing, but just decent fried shrimp.
The prices compared to other places made the meal a good deal. If anything I would return just because the food is fair to good, and the prices are below average. Service was decent, food came out quick, and portions were well sized.— Paul

General Chicken Was OK, Portions Are Good Sized & Prices Are Cheap.
I'll start off by saying this is my first time dining here. I've passed the location many times and after a friend saying the food there was decent, decided to stop in for a meal.
The place was pretty busy with people coming in to pick up orders, and it seems to be the neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Not only drawing in those from surrounding nneighborhoods but also from businesses in the downtown area, since it sits on the edge of the highway, not in touristy part of downtown, but more in a commercial business area.
I ordered the General Chicken, which was ready and at our table in about 10 minutes. The serving that came out was decently large for the price. The general chicken had decent flavor, and while not up there in the best I've had, It was easily worth the price. Not an item Id come here specifically for, but not an item Id avoid ordering again. The crab rangoons that came with the plate were decent as well, not overly chewy or dried out like some places, but not overly flavorful either.
I saw a decent number of lunch specials advertised, and I would consider visiting again, maybe dto try some of those.— Paul
