“ The worst thing about this place is that it's closed on Mondays! I felt compelled to write this review after reading a few one stars. I havent been here in a few months and hesitated to order because of those reviews, worrying that the quality of the food had gone down. Nope! Still the best Chinese in town! Every time I move I have to find a new "favorite" Chinese place. I have tried every other Chinese in Clayton, but I specifically make a 15 minute drive to this place because it is hands-down the best. They only do orders over the phone or in store, and have no delivery, but its worth it. I've lived here for 6 years and the quality has always been on-point and has been consistent. Keep in mind this isnt a fancy restaurant so if thats what youre looking for, go to Sushi Iwa down the street and fork out almost 100 for a couple of dishes. This is a typical hole-in-the-wall type takeout restaurant with the owner's kids sitting around doing their homework and the Asian folks in the back screaming at each other in mandarin. I was going to post a picture of the food, but I ate it too quickly and oh man was it good!! ”
“ Best place around. Food is always so much cleaner tasting (and looking!) than anywhere else. Fried rice isn’t soaked like other places, very nicely seasoned, not overbearing. This is hands down our go to! Other reviews mention about their service... we’ve always has great service, then again, we’ve always been nice and talkative to them ;-) ”
“ Consistantly great food. I go 3-4 times a month. It is always the same, delicious. Friendly ladies that run it and the sanitation grade is consistently at 96% or higher. The fried dumplings are addictive. ”
“ Please update your menu prices on your web site. If you offer a item on the menu. You should have it. Otherwise remove it from the menu. If a customer spends a certain amount. A free soda should be offered, or something free. My suggestion, love the food. ”
“ This is my go to for Asian food. Delicious ”
“ Sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. It was really good. Will definitely go back. ”
“ BEST CHINESE IVE EVER HAD I travel a lot and have had many many Chinese places around the U.S. this is by far the best. I just love it is very close to home. Some comments say the staff isn’t very talkative or welcoming, they are not mean to me ever but I will say they are very busy and they stay that way. I’ve been going here for 5 years, they have never once got my order wrong, and that’s something to say about a restaurant these days!! When family is in town we order 10 meals and they are all correct, always. Don’t miss out on this place it is amazing. ”
“ We love the chicken wings and chicken on a stick. Lo Mein Chicken n Broccoli They are our family favorites ”
