We will definitely order from here again!!!! The amount of food was way more than enough to feed 4 people when we ordered just a combination plate each plus a spring roll each for two people!! The spring rolls were double the size we expected AND they were super crispy and perfect flavour!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I would wait hours to have this again, great prices as well for the amount of food!!

First time trying them for take-out. Person who took my order was helpful, order was ready on time. Food was good but not great . It was a little over cooked. I will try them again and write an updated review.

This is without a doubt, the worst place for Chinese food I have ever had the displeasure to eat! Not only was the young man at the counter rude and non communicative, the ambiance of the place is non existent. The food…. Don’t get me started. Egg rolls, sweet and sour shrimp, cantonese chow mein. So bad had to throw it out!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Make the trip to Inaka restaurant in Caledon. Worth your time and money.

First and last time buying food here. Overpriced and gross. The general Tso was ok. Singapore noodle had celery in it for some reason l. The noodles were over cooked and the flavour was off. Beef and broccoli was chewy and not good. The chicken balls were dark brown and had the tiniest little piece of chicken inside and the sweet sauce is brown not red. Looks really weird. Really regret the $80 it cost me.

I did my 1st take out last Friday. I ordered five dishes. The person told me waiting time is 50 minutes, what I understand. When you make five dishes and may be few of them from the scratch it takes time. The longer you wait the tastier some food. So, my order was tasty , fresh and was good even after couple days from the fridge. The price is okay to me. And variety is good.

May 2, 2024

Like the reviews said , food was not freshly made and tasted like it had either been cooked a few days before or over cooked. Fried rice was terrible and mushy! Never coming back again

Most delicious food ever! For New Years Eve totally worth the wait!! Even accommodated our Daughters shrimp allergy. Food was hot. Service was amazing 👏

★★

October 2024 update: the shrimp was mushy as if it were under cooked. Did not take the chance to eat the dish further. Pepper beef was good but was not peppery at all. Very under seasoned but staff was awesome

Kids answring the phone are very short & rude, sesame chicken is a hit & miss, sometimes fresh other times very dry & chewy

Have ordered twice from here - spicy dishes are right level - good flavor- lots of food so decent value. Vegetarian options: Ordered Shanghai noodles with vegetables- spicy and good!

January 22, 2024

Ordered a bunch of food and it was way too expensive for what you get. The rice was bland and mushy. The ribs were watery and grey and the portions are tiny.

June 11,2023, Picked up order for 6 senior group, having meeting dinner Sunday, the food was terrible, for all seems like refried food from the pervious day, will not order from there again, service was excellent when picking up that is the only comment of positive that we can share. Oblivious Orangeville is not the place to be ordering chinses food from this area.

Solid choice for quick Chinese food. Reasonably priced menu!

December 22, 2023

Got chicken balls, sesame chicken & lo main noodles. Chicken balls harder then steel. Sesame was okay & the noodles. Oh my goodness the noodles tasted like they were made 3 days ago & very undercooked. Dont recommend. Btw they also have the kitchen blocked off from anyone seeing back there.

Arrived at 7 pm and they closed at 8 pm Turned us away . Not even knowing what we would like. We found another place to grab something to eat that night. Considering we drove from Niagara Falls to Orangeville.

Always been happy with the food but last night was very disappointed. Pork was tough and everything was tasteless. Food was almost cold by the time we got it home. Shouldn t be that cold from 1 st Street to C Line

Great food, great portion sizes and a nice family operation. The variety of food is incredible and the consistency is appreciated. I can always count on my favourites looking and tasting just the way they should. Our go to dishes are General Tso chicken and the House Special Shanghai Noodles. If you haven t tried JB Panda yet you are really missing out on some great food.

Out of all the Chinese food restaurants in orangeville, I have to say this one is my favorite. Great portion sizes, good price, and a big variety of food to choose from. I highly recommend the barbecue pork. Keep a lookout on their hours during the pandemic though, they open a little later than whats posted.

★★
December 22, 2021

Pepper steak and onion lunch special had absolutely no flavour at all and very little meat and vegetables over a whole lot of rice. Not bad, had a little bit and gave the rest to my dog but alright in a pinch. Price is ok considering the lack of quality though.

Great food, my favourite Chinese food place in town. I never have an issue with the quality of food, and prices are very fair. Only didnt give it a 5 because the ordering process can be frustrating sometimes.

Best Chinese food I have ever had. Theyre consistent and it is always cooked just right. Always ready in a reasonable time frame. Its sad to see how many people complain about the customer service in their reviews. This is a family run business with different generations who work hard. Indeed a little quirky, but they are cute and do their best.

★★
December 22, 2021

Came for the first time to try out. They were hesitant to take cash, like I was spreading around a disease or something, which means I wont be coming back again. Businesses have to start realizing that not everyone believes in the fake pandemic with a virus that has never actually been proven to exist.

No taste no flavor I will never go back again

December 22, 2021

Me and my friends decide to go to this restaurant for dinner. We tried to use the online ordering that was offered on the website, however it did not go through. Upon arrival we asked the person working at the front counter if the orders had gone through and he rudely said, We dont have online ordering. We were confused as the website said they did. We continued to put our orders through. After getting our orders one of us found a DEAD MOSQUITO in our sweet and sour sauce. We returned to the restaurant and were accused of putting the bug in ourselves. Horrible customer service do not recommend.

They have a nice vegetarian combo meal. Most Chinese restaurants only offer their combos with meat so a vegetarian has to order a la carte and ends up with way too much food.

Service and food is fine but I wish the combos for one had another option than fried rice. There is nothing wrong with it but sometimes Id prefer to have noodles or mixed vegetables.

Hours on website and google arent the same I called the man was rude saying they were closed than why pick the phone up? Told them the hours say they are open he replied well we are closed maybe they should change the website and google hours when they close. clearly they are sad excuse of a restaurant and need to learn costumer service if I could I would give zero stars!

The food is usually good. I have had a few times where the chicken balls were dry,mostly batter. The rest of the food has been good. Its our go to for local Chinese Food. We have always done takeout as the place is not set up as a eat in restaurant.Give 20-45 to for takeout depending on time and day if the week.

Extremely poor and a dirty place .......overcharged by a hidden dollar, even when paying with debit, the place is hot and sweaty .....food not crispy, not tasty and poor presentations , extremely lacking in basics ....chances of food poisoning very high

Food was very good. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because when ordered for pickup was told 20 minutes and took 45 mins so waited in restaurant for almost 30 mins waiting for my food.

December 22, 2016

Ordered 6 hours early as a courtesy. Order was not ready and we were told it would take 40 minutes as we watched other customers walk out with their orders. Had to demand our order. No compensation for the mess up. Poor service. Avoid this place.
