“Not the best Asian food you'll ever have, but definitely a cut above the rest in the world of delivery Chinese.”
“It is by far the best option in the neighborhood for Chinese (and I live around the corner from Chinese Musician, yuck!).”
“Now to the hostess/co-owner: Stephanie is such a sweetheart!”

This place is not terrible, but is the quintessential americanized chinese food take out place. Super greasy, salty and loaded with MSG. This may be the only chinese place in the area and for that, I was forced to try it. Trust me, I won't be making that mistake again. Why have crappy chinese food when you can have exceptional food of almost any other cuisine?
Also, I felt compelled to write this review because of another review comparing this place to eat-in places in chinatown and Flushing. It's not even close. I eat in either Flushing or Chinatown at least once a week and this place pales in comparison. I was appalled to read that. I really struggled to understand where that statement came from and would love the chance to understand where she was coming from. And yes, I'm Chinese as well.
They had a really cheap lunch special. For $7, you get soup, a spring roll, and then rice with a protein. I got myself a General Tso's tofu dish. Admittedly the food is just okay, and the General Tso's sauce had this slightly off-putting non-Newtonian fluid quality about it, but I'd come here if I were jonesing for some cheap Chinese food, I guess.
