Oh do I have a gem of a Chineese restraunt here, I actually thought about not reviewing this here cuz I hate to see it get busy, like a few other places I did. I like alot of meat and less vegetables in my Chineese. I asked for just that and this awesome restaurant did just that folks and wait until you see what my normal plate looks like only for like 10.00, you will not believe it! So the size is unbelievable, and now the flavor. This is actually what got me coming back, this sauce actually looked heavy for me, until I tried it, then I was treated to a flavor that I only tasted in some of my favorite Chineese hangouts where it gave me the taste for some of these hidden gems. I'm telling you all right now, if you like CHINEESE FOOD get over here. Make a small trip out if if you live aways away, there's a tractor supply across the street so you can go shop and get some lunch.Promise you all, you won't be disappointed. Tell them Chris sent you!

I love their food . It's a great family owned business. They are always very nice and the food is always really good. Fast friendly and I've never had a problem. Been ordering from them for years. The Fried Dumplings, Terriyaki chicken on a stick, oh and salt & pepper shrimp are so good!

I Love this place. I used to work in Harvard and would get lunch there twice a week. I recently moved to the boarder of Kenosha and Racine in Wisconsin and now drive 50 miles each way to get my Chinatown food a few times per month. The food is Hot, tastes great and actually looks like the picture on the menu. Enjoy!!!

This is the best chinese I have had experienced here (I’m a frequent visitor from NY). For those of you looking for crispy, not mushy, delish plump pork and/or shrimp rolls that are also NOT swimming in unidentified oil- this is the ONLY place that I have found from Rockford to Chicago ( and in between) that delivers. Amazing little gem in the middle of a small country strip mall. This includes the chicken fried rice and the pork mei fun- perfect! Cannot begin to be able to explain the diff between NY style chinese food and what seems to be the norm in Illinois. For those locals that are interested in finding out- it’s worth the trip.

Walking through the front doors give an urgent sense of Chinatown. Staff are quick and cordial, while providing any assistance with the menu that is needed. The cuisines are better than any buffet you could drive out to. Extra sauces and chopsticks are a nice plus

The best Chinese food around! Friendly staff. They never make a mistake. However, I did on our last order - I forgot egg rolls! When I got home, egg rolls were in the bag. We're regulars, and they knew I made a mistake, so they added them. Egg rolls, Cashew Chicken, Schezuan Chicken or Beef, General Tso's Chicken - all are great! Best Chinese food anywhere.
