Food is bad, not good at all, the amount of celery you get is disgusting would not recommend. First and last time I get food from here.

We had a take out several years ago and we were unhappy with the quality and taste.We hoped that the food quality and taste would of improved since our last take out.The food is still sub par. The fried rice was bland, no eggs very little vegetables, the fried chicken wings were small and either refried or way overcooked. The meat was tough and not edible .Waste of money. The egg rolls were also very oily and filled with mainly cabbage. The chicken balls were good, but not enough to eat here again. .

Ordered the combo with rice, chicken balls, eggroll and chop suey. Portion great price worth every penny. My overall issue the rice was very oily with no taste like it was old and reheated.

ordered combo 3 the chicken fried rice and fried chicken were good! surprised by the big portions in a takeout container. fried rice was just yummy, not salty like other Chinese places. The fried chicken was great too, just the right crunch. I'd recommend it if you're in the east York area :) the space was small, looks like a family run shop

Wife should not answer phone! She unfortunately does not speak English and hangs up phone. Food is amazing and I still order but very frustrating. Her children are very helpful and I thank them. Three stars because of her children. I gave five stars for food!

Got C3 platter delivery. Very delicious and large portion. Great price for the amount of food.

If I was able to give 0 stars I would have. Fully overcooked and not pad Thai noodles with no vegetables and hardly any taste. No lime. No cilantro no peanuts. The soup was full of large chunks of raw mushrooms in it and large 2" large pieces of fake crab. Sping rolIs are so greasy that it covers up whatever the contents were supposed to be. I have never been so thoroughly disgusted by a food order in my life and I have lived quite a while. This place has some nerve calling themself a restaurant.

Was looking for crab rangoons in the city and found one not too far from our place. Wish there was more filling in them as it was all cooked out almost. But from what there was, it was quite flavorful and you get 8 for $6.95!! The best deal I found to date!

This is the closest Chinese food restaurant in my neighborhood, and when I decided to try it when I first moved here, I was not disappointed! They definitely give you your moneys worth and their sweet and sour chicken balls are all meat and very little bread unlike others Chinese restaurants Ive tried.

The food was cheap, and very tasty. We ordered spring rolls that were huge and packed with veggies. Chicken balls with sweet n sour sauce, beef black bean with rice noodles, and BBQ pork chow mein. Just wanted to say thank you for the food it was prepared very nicely. Our delivery driver was awesome and very nice.

Large portions for good price, tasteful. While different than other places, which Id hope for, their own style is certainly worth it.

This is our go-to take-out Chinese food spot. The ladies who take your order over the phone are always quick and efficient without being pushy. The restaurant in small with no seating, but the open concept means the food is cooked fresh in front of you from a fully visible kitchen. The individual combo plates will fill you up, and is actually enough food for you to pack leftovers for lunch the next day.

I used to really enjoy the fish & chips, its been a while since we ordered from hear, the chips used to have a nice flavor to them, now every thing is just greasy & now I feel sick.... They have lost two customers now.

Ordered today and was so disappointed by the food. The beef in the beef and broccoli was tough. The soo guy was terrible, didn t look like real chicken. When I called the restaurant they just said okay when I told them about the food. They called me back asked me a couple of questions and then hung up on me. Won t go back. $55.00 down the drain.

Got takeout a couple of times in the past week and was blown away at the quality of their food! We have tried chow mien, shrimp egg foo yong, kung pao chicken with fried rice, all were really great at affordable prices. The vegetable spring rolls were very fresh and tasty as well. Highly recommended!

Ive ordered from this restaurant multiple times. Every time the food is consistently well cooked. The prices are reasonable and affordable. And none of the food ever feels heavy after you eat it! This place is definitely going places if they keep this up. Not only that but, they have a heart healthy menue as well!

I cannot express my gratitude enough with the healthy diet options. For the sake of my husbands health I appreciate the no salt, fat, cholesterol and sauce on the side option. It has allowed him to enjoy a take out meal with us without having to be worried about exceeding his daily salt limit. And he says its tasty. Many thanks.

We always order from here when we need a quick dinner. It is family owned and the food is really good quality! The crab Rangoon is my favourite item to order. We always get Combo for 2 D, they are great with making substitutions so I would recommend getting their bbq pork fried rice, general Tao with the sauce on the side and their beef and broccoli! The egg rolls and spring rolls are fantastic and so is the shrimp with mixed veggies.

We got take out. Food was ready on time. Quantity is also decent. However chilly beef wasn t that great. Combo c5 was better on the other hand. No cutlery was given which was strange. Street parking is possible but difficult.

I used to order from this restaurant when they went by another name and just loved their food. They closed for awhile and I was so disappointed and couldnt find another place that made food even close to how good this place did. Was so excited to find they had just moved and changed their name. Their sweet and sour has just the right about of batter and it has flavour. I love their general tso chicken and the House Special Mein Feng is very flavourful. Their delivery staff is always very nice too.
