Came back 6 years later and still taste the same. Best orange chicken I’ve ever had.

Don’t believe the negative reviews! First time getting pick up. Ms. Lucy was quick, to the point, and nailed my order and pick up time (10 minutes from phone call to take-out). Will 100% be ordering from here again! General Tso chicken, pork fried rice (no onions), and egg drop soup is perfect!!!

Got the combo with 2 sides - orange chicken with white rice , sides were crab rangoon and an egg roll . A fortune cookie was included . They gave me sauce for the rangoon , and when I asked , they had my favorite packets of duck sauce ! I paid around $13 with tax . Very similar to the food of The Golden Bowl in Barrington , RI which unfortunately closed , recently ( this post written 11/11/25 ) . SO tasty . Orange chicken was crunchy , tender , and sweet , crab rangoon was the perfect amount of sweet , crunchy , and some crab flavor to frying perfection , egg roll had nice , umami flavors in it and a nice crunch ( eat it quick or it loses some crunch as you let it sit ) . If you ask , they'll give you extra sauce , napkins , and plastic utensils . Left over food reheated well the next day . Plenty of parking . Yes , lady who helped me had a thick accent and too the point , but that's how you know the food is good ! It's a takeout Chinese food place - don't expect a glorious atmosphere cuz it's not supposed to have one . NOT gourmet food , this is QUALITY TAKEOUT FOOD ! Very delicious takeout !! Would recommend .

I ordered in person for a lunch special with Pork Fried rice and Orange Chicken. The pork fried rice has small pieces of pork with yellow rice while the orange chicken is more on the sweet side. They give a good amount of food for about 10 dollars. The crab Rangoon is good like all the Rangoon’s crispy with cream cheese inside.

Quantity was large. We ordered dinner combo with veg low main. The portions were big. We could not finish the food. If you are really hungry go for this place. We ordered sesame chicken, Schezewan chicken, General Tso chicken from combo menu. We also order mei fun. All food was good. Reasonably priced. lady in the cash register had thick accent and at times it was hard to understand.
