I recently tried a local Chinese food spot, and overall, it was a good experience! The seasoning was on point, with flavorful dishes that hit the spot. I ordered the broccoli beef and kung pao chicken, and while both tasted great, the portions leaned more toward veggies than meat. The rice was slightly overcooked but still worked well with the dishes. If you're looking for quick, cheap, and satisfying Chinese food, this place is worth a visit. It may not be perfect, but it gets the job done for a casual meal. The staff will serve you so quick if you need quick lunch.

I've been coming here for lunch for a while and I think it's time to share. They are your typical pick rice or chow mein and dishes process, with one significant difference from the others. Freshness and great taste. Plus, for you spice lovers, multiple dish options! For me it's the fresh taste! Others have bland veggies. Here, so good. Fresh crunchy noodles too. Worth your time!

I was staying down street attending a conference and without a vehicle and searched for food within walking distance. I too was skeptical but gave it a try. I'm glad I did! Food was tasty and was happy with the orange chicken and black pepper chicken. I would definitely go back. Plus, it was quick and easy to order...like Panda Express but more authentic Chinese food.

Came in after a LONG day of travel. Kept reading about reviews and I was skeptical about a ready to eat Chinese to-go post but I was completely proven wrong. There is parking, during the day it must be a complete disaster since there's a few other tenants in the plaza, including the USPS. Anyway, I got my food to go. There is a .25 surcharge for using a card, no problems there. I got a combo b, which is your choice of noodles/fried rice (or a mix of both), and a choice of two entrees. Having read all the raving on the orange chicken I went with that and the beef and broccoli. You'll be able to see, the portions are enormous. You will not go hungry. For the price, this is a great deal. The orange chicken was still crispy when I got to my hotel. Delicious, the beef and broccoli was ok, I get annoyed when the stems aren't trimmed because that's just truly not easy to eat through. Regardless, they give you a small container of hot sauce which I didn't use. Good stuff here, I enjoyed it and you should support small businesses.

Convenient and great at its price point. Portion size was big and filling and I got the Combo A, which was one entree and a side. I paid around $8 and something, so less than $10 which is a steal! The atmosphere was great. The store was very big and had plenty of tables and chair. Also loved the big fish tank it had. The service was friendly and fast. Definitely recommend coming to try this place if you are in the area. Went because it was right next to the post office.

It's been a long time since I've found a Chinese food restaurant that makes me dream about a particular dish, and I mean a loooong time, but this place here...WOW!! My favorite Chinese food restaurant was Yee's on Slauson in LA. Making the drive out there was a mission, so to find a place close to work that impressed the hell out me...I'm speechless! I literally thought about this place all weekend. I came here for the first time last week with a coworker who tells us almost everyday she's going for Chinese. Of course, we were thinking damn, everyday? Maybe she was a little nuts...I mean how good could it be?? Could she have actually found a gem in the middle of Santa Ana? If so, I'm jealous, because she beat me to it. There can't be a place that good hidden over here, could it?? Off we go, talking shit, giggling and all and she kept saying, "Mmmhmmm, you guys just wait." Well damn did we eat our words! Now I can't vouch for everything they have, but walking in there, you notice that the line stays poppin. You see them consistently adding fresh food and most of all, you will be amazed at how they pack the plates! No one could ever say they skimp on the food and I mean never! I had to tell the girl not to put so much rice and chow mein. So you may be wondering what gives this place 5 stars...the ORANGE CHICKEN! That's what! Their orange chicken is probably the best that I've ever had! Yep! I said it...BEST! I was in shock when I took a bite. It's crispy, but chewy like chicken should be. The orange sauce...**internally screaming** OMG it is good! Like I wanted to leave work and go get more type of good! I also got their broccoli and beef and the flavor of that...I mean damn, I wanted to cry, it was so good! It honestly reminds me of Yee's back in the day! Im not in love with their fried rice and chow mein, but that's not why I'm there and truth be told, I think it was too bland for me, but the soy sauce spiced that right up! Fast forward to yesterday, I grabbed another plate with only orange chicken for both sides and **confession time** another side of orange chicken and side of broccoli and beef and **covers eyes** their sides are not "Panda size." They're rather large. This time I shared with another coworker of mine...God knows I had bought enough. I told her to prepare herself. She took a bite and said the same thing I did. Instantly she was hooked on both the orange chicken and the broccoli and beef and she made her way over there to grab some on her lunch today. She literally came in this morning and told me that she thought about that chicken all night. And there you have it...now several of us are addicts! You can only guess where we are going tomorrow, lol! Hope you enjoy it like we did! Sheesh!
