Shrimp/chicken mixed veggies are so good for a savory balanced meal. Veggies are always bright and fresh, shrimps are consistently jumbo and plump. If you ask for extra garlic & extra spicy, you really can't go wrong. This family business never fails to disappoint.
I get takeout from here about once a month or so. The food is always great and it's never a long wait if you didn't order ahead.
We drive from Ithaca for take away. This is the freshest, tastiest Chinese food just like the previous comment says “in the Finger Lakes” we happened to be in The cCortland area hitting Tag Sales& Thrifty. My husband is ordering our dinner as I type. We are vegetarian & Love the sesame tofu & Buddhist delight!! Crisp beautiful veggie eggrolls. And our food is still HOT when we get to Ithaca. I just wish they had garlic eggplant!!
The staff is always super nice and really quick. The food is super good too! It's a little pricey, but what isn't nowadays.
Let me just say this... The chicken and broccoli was divine and the crab Rangoon was outstanding 👌 😋 🙌 👏 😍
I ordered 15 lunch specials for a 92 nd birthday party. They took the order quickly and happily! It was during the Saturday lunch rush but that didn’t slow them down! Great people! Great food!
This is a very good Chinese place to eat in the area. The food is 95% of the time consistent with quality and taste . The employees are nice and willing to work with you a bit if it’s close to closing time and you want to order still . Overall an amazing place especially being located in a small town where there’s not a whole lot of restaurants . The prices are also very good for the amount of food you get . Go check it out !
Best lo mein I’ve ever had. The noodles are perfect and they stir fry with real garlic!!
Tiny, unassuming spot with the best homemade flavor! Moo Shu veggies (served with square spring roll wraps-my preference, not the round flour tortilla style). Flavor was excellent, veggies were crisp and perfectly done. Mei fun was just right, not too oily!
Delicious lo mein. Best sesame and general tso’s chicken! Price right. Service is always fast and friendly. My favorite place to get crab Rangoon! We also, LOVE garlic green that they accidentally gave to use one time! What a happy mistake!!!
