Delicious Chow Mein

Best Chinese takeout that we’ve found. You nailed it again Unilocal!Food was freshly made. Tried the Kung pao chicken based on another review and it was On Hit y’all. Fresh, flavorful, nice and spicy. This place knows what they are doing. Food is similar in style to what you’d expect from other places, but it’s much tastier and fresher. Don’t let the strip mall façade scare you away.
The fried rice was definitely NOT made from someone else’s leftover white rice, like some places.
Can’t wait to try the sesame chicken and orange chicken — next time.
Get the spices & oil to go to add a little kick if you like.
We requested No MSG and they said OK. (Another Chinese place we had called down the road couldn’t do that, as everything was already pre made.) Not sure if it actually had MSG or not — my GI tract will kindly let me know in about an hour…
Lastly, my 6 year old said they didn’t give us enough fortune cookies. But I’m not docking them any stars for that. ;-)

This is my go to for Chinese. The sesame chicken and orange chicken are great! Prices are very good and you get a lot of food. Did have one time where some of my chicken was burned but I believe it was a fluke because I’ve never had that issue any other time.

I had beef and peapods and eggrolls. It was all good. Just what i expected. The lady that helped me was a sweetheart. Not fancy, just a small place to enjoy some decent chinese food.

Oh I so wanted to like this place. It’s close to home. It has chow mein in the name of the business. It’s close to home. Unfortunately, two stars it is. We called in a takeout order and the woman told me 15 minutes. I arrived 13 minutes later and was glad that we chose takeout. The place itself is small and only has a few tables. They were fine but had old torn chairs and would not be a comfortable place to sit and eat a meal. It also looked like the couple who runs it practically lives there. I spotted a pair of their shoes haphazardly cast off to the side in the dining room (weird) and boxes of fortune cookies, plastic ware and cups are stacked up on the edge of the room. Not very inviting or comfortable. On the plus side, the area where the gentleman was doing the cooking had white tile and it looked spotless. God bless them, I love a restaurant that keeps the cooking area clean.
Upon my arrival, the woman greeted me and told me it would be a few more minutes. There was one other man also waiting for his food. I offered to pay so that I could just walk out with my food and the woman seemed a little annoyed but did take my payment. Then I waited. And waited. The guy’s food came. Another guy arrived. I waited. 15 minutes of waiting (and double the amount of time that I was told on the phone) and my food was ready.
When I got home, the food was eh. We got eggrolls, which were OK but largely cabbage. But still good flavor and nicely wrapped and fried. We got fried dumplings, which were pretty good. I did like that they gave me (upon request) a little cup of that awesome chili oil that a lot of Chinese places have on the table. So good. The two dishes we got were just kind of eh. We got double cooked pork and pork with the Cantonese pan fried noodles. The pan fried noodles were not what I expected. They were more like those puffy rice noodles that were put in a deep fryer rather than the egg noddles fried in a skillet the way I think of. Both came in a brown sauce, and while one was sweet and one was more salty, they were practically identical at first glance. We honestly couldn’t tell which was which at first. Overall, the food was really salty. Like I actually stopped eating before my first plate was done because I felt like I ate a salt lick. Also, while some items were plenty hot, others were lukewarm by the time we sat down to eat. I think it was the net result of one guy trying to cook four items… he did one first and that was the coldest. I am not sure we will be back soon.

This place is great. Kung Pao chicken is the real deal. The lady that took the order up front was great. We will be getting back for sure!

Have been going here for years. Food is awesome and a great value. Wide menu selection. The biggest issue that’s turned me away is sanitation. I along with others have seen the cook wipe nose and grab carrots. Also have watched him cough and then work with food. Have found mold on the hot sauce on the tables. Forks seem questionable for cleanliness too. I have gone back since but a lot of my coworkers won’t go with me after they shared these experiences.

This place is the real deal. Everything is made to order. There are no steam tables here. Sesame chicken and orange chicken are always crispy and never soggy.
Not great for crowds unless you are a patient group because all items are made to order. Wonderful hot peppers in oil on the tables. Skip the appetizers and stick to the entrees. They are all good.

I finally found my go to Chinese restaurant. Excellent General Tso’s chicken, a better variation than many others. Mongolian Beef was spicy but still full of flavor (and they were happy to add broccoli at my request.) Looking forward to trying everything else on the menu!

Great mom and pop restaurant. I would suggest ordering for take out. I highly suggest the orange chicken, its super crispy, sweet and spicy.

This place is our Chinese go-​to in the neighborhood. Most expensive thing on the menu is about $ 20 for 4 servings, most things are between the $ 6 – 7 range if you do a dinner combo, and lunch specials are between $ 4 – 5. Much better than Leann Chins, Panda Express etc. and takes the same amount of time really. The food comes heaped on your plate, piping hot. The lady who runs the place is super nice, and her husband is the cook. He knows how to make some super delicious cuisine! They also have a take out menu so you can grab and go.
