It was the best Chinese food that I ever had. It was fresh and delicious. More than enough for one meal. I was really full and satisfied. I didn't take a picture of the shrimp egg roll that came with the shrimp Egg Foo Yung plate. It was delicious too. Everything tasted very very good. Gary Indiana's best kept secret.
I ordered the General Tso’s chicken, fried rice, and crab Rangoons. • General Tso’s Chicken: Very good! I prefer mine with a bit more heat, but it was flavorful and definitely something I’ll order again. • Fried Rice: Came in the cutest little container, and the flavor was spot-on. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. • Crab Rangoons: I could live off these things. I crave them constantly, and these did not disappoint. I got seven! Most chain places give you three tops, so I was thrilled. Five stars for those alone! I also ordered a Diet Pepsi but received a regular Pepsi instead. Not ideal, since I’m not really a fan of either—but I’m guessing they were out. No big deal; water worked just fine. Overall: Great food, generous portions, and I’ll absolutely be ordering again.
My new favorite Chinese Food spot! I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, I eat predominantly vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains with some eggs and dairy (only animal products I consume). I get the Vegetable Fried Rice, Vegetable LoMein, Vegetable Egg Rolls. The Food is always Delicious, Hot and Ready! They stay busy... I always call ahead and the food is ready when I arrive for pickup. I highly recommend this carryout restaurant.
I’ve had the veggie fried rice, chicken fried rice (no bean sprouts), veggie egg roll, chicken egg roll, and shrimp egg roll. All were to my liking. Also the peach smoothies are good!
Ordered in person because I was already at the plaza. Definitely order ahead of time. But the food was top tier especially for the price... a whole sesame combination with chicken fried rice was only $10 and some change. I highly recommend this place, you wont regret it.

Everything was delicious
This may be hands down the best Chinese food around. Inexpensive, tasty and quick. I've tried many places, I enjoy this place the most.
Food was cool. The toy machine music playing over and over would be my only critique.
