"Flavorless! #5 Bbq pork lunch special. No bbq taste, no seasoning what so ever. I taste the veggies that’s about it. Yes, it’s a lot of food for $10 but I ended up heating up my Healthy Choice steamer to get some flavor with it."

"There’s Not Too Many Good Suburb Chinese Take-Out Restaurants. This One Is Actually Pretty Good As Far As Pricing && Taste. I Ordered The L-08 Sweet and Sour Chicken Lunch Special with My Rice Fried Spicy && the Sweet n’ Sour Sauce Placed On The Side. The Portions Are A Good Size For All (Chicken, Rice, && Sauce). Everything Was Fresh n’ Hot. As Far As Customer Service, The Lady Who Answered My Call && Prepared My Order Upon Arrival Was Quiet Yet Pleasant. Everything In My Order Was Correct && Prepped The Way I Requested It. As For Atmosphere, It’s Very Clean && Quiet. You Can Only Here The Clicking n’ Clacking of The Pots && Pans. There is Only Seating Available To Wait For Your Food && No Options To Dine In. Which Is Okay Because I’d Still Order From Here Again."

"I don’t like giving bad reviews but honest reviews are what I look for. I ordered the pad Thai with tofu for dinner. Only one size for dinner was the large. It was $12 which was a great price in the times we’re living in for the amount of food received. Upon entering the business, the employee at the front was less than friendly. I did arrive about 30 minutes before close, so I’m sure they were tired but there was no interaction at all. The food smelled yummy and was hot but was completely flavorless. These was absolutely nothing but a ton of noodles, a few small slices of tofu, a few slices of white onion, a few sprouts, a bit of crushed peanuts and 2 small lime slices. No other veggies at all (scallions, carrots, etc). I wasn’t expecting incredible but I would give the pad Thai a zero. The only reason for the 2 star review for the food is due to the price not being sky high."

"When I ordered Shrimp Lo Mein I was expecting udon type noodles, but got the type of ramen you buy from the store..I even asked for extra spice and it wasn't spicy at all nor was it good. The noodles were partially burned and it was very dry. There was no flavor. The crab rangoon also lacked flavor."

"Great portions and reasonably priced! I appreciate the cleanliness and simplicity of this quaint establishment. They're carryout only, quick and easy to order, and a wide selection of options. It's too bad other individuals find their food flavorless...it's because its prepared with no msg and aiming for that less salt flavoring. At least in our opinion, the food was absolutely delicious and very grateful they chose to really pack in the food. As you can see from the photos tagged, they do not cheat you with the amount of food you paid for. **Best to call and order ahead**"
