This is our go to Chinese food place on this side of town. My wife always gets the Broccoli Beef. She is very picky about the beef from Chinese restaurants, so that is a safe bet for me when I bring home dinner. I am not a fan of Cashew Chicken (I know...i know...blasphemy in Springfield) so I cannot speak to how theirs is. However I always either get the Sweet and Sour Chicken, or the Sweet and Sour Shrimp. This is the only Chinese restaurant I would even dare to get shrimp at. A few other restaurants in the area have taught me a lesson regarding that (diarrhea anyone?). Theirs is by far the best. The Crab Rangoon and the Egg Rolls in my opinion are some of the best in town as well.. The only drawbacks I see are the prices, which seem a tad bit higher than the other Chinese place around here. Also the wait time on certain occasions has been ridiculous. As to some of the lower ratings on this page, maybe I have just been very lucky. Although I have been here probably 40 times over the years, and have yet to be disappointed in the food.

Kung Pao was the sign's "Chef Suggestion" and the blonde non-Asian cashier/ waitress told me that I could make it combo. I heard an Asian language from the kitchen so I was not scared (I am not a linguist) The building has plenty of Windows and a tall ceiling, but has been rehabbed with Formica tables and faux steel around the columns. My Kung Pao very good and lots of vegetables which I like my companions General Tso was good and spicy. The eggrolls were surprisingly good. The crab rolls for the pinched kind (versus folded over thar seems to hold more cheese and crabmeat).

Had this for lunch. First time here. Mediocre at best sums it up. Limited buffet, not a lot to choose from. Crab rangoons lacking cream cheese and crab! Most of the tables had dirty dishes on them, seating was already limited. $6.99 for all you can eat buffet. You get what you pay for and it will serve it's purpose.

Had the buffet here today while I had my oil changed across the street. Everything I bad was pretty good and hot and the staff was friendly. I'm never really by there but I'd go back if I found my self in the neighborhood.

Disappointed at the quantity of food for the money; downright angry after I tasted it. I paid $5 for a sweet and sour chicken value meal. The restaurant had two menus displayed (an old-style menu board behind the counter and a display screen) along with a separate side "deal" flyer, none of which seemed in concordance. I didn't receive what I expected, but didn't have the time to hang around and inquire (it was the dinner rush). The amount of food was less than I would have liked; I'd estimate one cup of rice and one-half cup of chicken along with one each small egg roll and crab rangoon. Not egregiously stingy, but definitely on the smaller side of the fast food Chinese places in town I've been to. I also expected to be offered choice of soup or side, rice or noodles, fried or plain rice, all of which are either standard practice or were suggested by one menu or another on display. The pieces of (granted, all-white meat, as advertised) chicken were sitting in sauce that tasted like watered-down orange "fruit" drink. Entire contents of the entree. On the one hand, that means the chicken filled the small container; on the other, some vegetables could only have improved the flavor. The sauce would have been aggressively sweet had it been aggressively anything, but instead it tasted blank. It took copious application of duck sauce packets, soy sauce packets, and a generous shake of salt to make this chicken palatable. This quickly presented as a theme. The well-cooked white rice featured sparse flecks of egg as if it were in some early stage of evolution into fried rice, but delivered no flavor. (Not necessarily a detriment if you're a white rice fan, but I was expecting fried.) The egg roll was about the length of my index finger (certainly not one I'd pay $1 for a la carte) and tasted like fried wrapper around plain cabbage. It didn't seem to be filled with anything else. The crab rangoon filling was good, but lightly applied. I usually enjoy the crunchy, fried dough of the wrapper as well as the softer part in contact with the filling, but this was, yet again, plain tasting. I find myself wondering if this was a special low-sodium night and I missed the memo. Hey, well, on the one hand, if you need low-sodium Chinese food, looks like this is your place! Granted, I stopped by around 6:30pm on a Friday night, which is probably a pretty busy time for them. I'd be willing to give them another chance on the grounds that they gave a decent amount of chicken in their entree if everything hadn't just tasted so incredibly without seasoning. If I'm paying for a professional to cook me food, I shouldn't have to drown it in packaged condiments before eating.

I only gave this restaurant one star because there's no negative choice. For the average diner, this place is ok. BUT if your not the average diner and you appreciate a good meal, this place is crap. My husband and I ordered the cashew chicken, general tso and some egg rolls. Our food was warm. The fried rice was bland and my noodles, along with both chicken entrees, tasted of old fry oil. We could feel our mouths coated of oil when we finished. I recommend you carry on and give another restaurant a try, but if you must, go ahead and try for yourself. Provecho!

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
