We found this little place one night and it has become our go to for Chinese food. The noodles are fantastic. We love the lo mein, chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and beef lo mein. The crab rangoons were a bit too sweet for my liking but they have a really high rating among customers. The orange chicken definitely packs a spicy punch as well if you're looking for a heated kick. Always friendly staff. Place looks clean and organized as well. Online you have multiple options for placing your order. Easy, quick and convenient. The do GrubHub, Door Dash and others. We use the Door Dash to place our order for free and just go pick it up. Location is easy to get to with plenty of parking.

Friendly service. Very hot food! Clean establishment. I recommend the Kung Pao Chicken. The meal portions are huge! Spring Rolls, tasted great. Don't forget the red sauce. The Hot Sour Soup, was out of this world... There is a few different options for Chinese food in this area... Anyone would be crazy to go anywhere else besides here. Especially that nasty place on Stellhorn..

We love the food! It's always amazing. The service is the best, they are always friendly and courteous. The food is consistently as good one time as it is the next.

Ordered delivery and our food arrived timely and still very hot. The hot & sour soup was flavorful and very hearty. The crab rangoon was some of the best I've had and the huge egg rolls were also good. We ordered two types of beef - Szechwan and Hunan - one with mushrooms added. It was impossible to tell them apart both visually and by flavor so I'm not convinced that we weren't given two of the same dish. After lots of digging around, one of them did have a few small mushrooms pieces but for $1.25 extra, I would have expected to have a noticeable amout of them. Both dishes were indicated as spicy on the menu but both really lacked flavor which was surprising since the soup and apps were great. Overall, everything was decent but we wouldn't order the beef items again.

The shrimp fried rice was delicious, and everything else was fine. Portion sizes were generous, and prices were quite fair. The restaurant was small, but clean, and the owners were understanding about the very loud children with us.

This is by far, the best Chinese food in Fort Wayne. Portion sizes are enormous and always served nice and hot and there’s always some left for lunch the following day. Prices are extremely reasonable as well.

I have never had a problem ordering anything or time issues. Quality of food is definitely top notch along with the portions. This place is one of my favorite take out places.
