Provided by YP.comI eat here all the time. What other reviewers said about the rice is flase. Im eating some right now and its full of Pork and no fat. The Onions are sweet. The rice itsself is so-so.
The lady at the front does not handle any food except that which is thrown into the Deep Fryers.
I usually get the same thing every time, which is the Teriyaki chicken, egg roll and fried rice. The Chicken is kept in a huge bowl marinating in the stuff in the fridge, on sticks. They throw em in the deep fryer and its delicious. Deep fried Teriyaki chicken sticks.MMmmm.
I have also tried the Chicken and Broccoli and it was good. I also have had the General Tso's Chicken and while it has a good flavor, the sauce is to thick and rich from what I usually like.Their Lo Meins are good and so is their Singapore Rice Noodles.
For the location its in and the price, $4.35 lunch specials, you cant beat it.

Provided by YP.comDon't be fooled by a few stars. Listen to me. Want to waste money, in this poor economy?? On a weekend night, we ordered nearly $60.00 of food for home delivery. "Just trying out a new place for us to get Chinese food." What a surprise!! The worst pork fried rice ever. Just white rice, browned with whatever they use, and a few pieces of pork, including pieces of diced FAT! The house special fried rice was a bit better, with some extras thrown in like, small shrimp, chicken, and pork, with some vegetables. However, the fried rice had NO TASTE! We also ordered honey chicken, but asked to have a lot of garlic added. No garlic and just a hint of honey. Otherwise, just plain old breaded chicken chunks, again with NO TASTE. Get this, we ordered 4 egg rolls as an appetizer. They had basically nothing in them! Just cabbage, with a hint of some kind of small bits of meat, probably pork. Sweet and sour chicken was just hard pieces of over fried chicken, with some sliced carrots and green peppers. Again, same taste as the other dishes. NONE! Sliced pork with string beans was good because it had a brown sauce covering it. Same thing for the Pork Egg Foo Young. The gravy was the saving grace for this dish. They must know the non-flavorful food they offer. They included (no lie) 35 packets of soy sauce and duck sauce!!! Get my drift? Stay away. I am not disgruntled, just VERY disappointed that I didn't order from the usual JOY LUCK restaurant. Not the Joy Luck Cafe, but the main restaurant on Dunlawton, at Nova..

Provided by YP.comI have ordered 4 times from this place as they are next to where I work. Each time I was disappointed.
The meals lack in actual substance as they are mostly rice and onions. Any other ingrediant is sparse. I ended up throwing most of each meal out. I feel I gave them a fair chance by trying 4 different items.
Even a simple egg roll was bad.
The service is less than freindly. The girl that usuallu works the counter is usually too busy eating and I noted that she handles food directly with bare hands right after handling money and everything else with out stopping to wash.
The view of the kitchen area is dimly lit and not my idea of clean either.
I will not dine there again.
The times I did was due to desperation as there are not many choices near my work.
