I've been retracing my steps while I lived in Forest Hills so this is a long overdue review.
This was my go to place for Chinese food while I was living in FH. To be honest I never even tried any of the other places but I never really felt the need to do so. The food taste like Chinese takeout and I always felt that I got my moneys worth.
I have both ordered for pick up and delivery, and compared to a lot of the other takeout places I was always happy with their timeliness and service. For delivery I always had my food within 20 minutes, even during "prime-time" as I like to call it.
My roommates and I worked our way through the menu and we loved just ordering a bunch of different dishes, settling in in front of the TV and enjoy the food!
The place is clean, they seam to be using fresh food, it taste good, and the price is alright. I'm not sure what more you need from your local Chinese take-out place.

Had a sudden craving for cheap chinese takeout. I never and I mean never order chinese takeout on the regular simply because we never really had a reason to. So why did we? Just wanted to eat some cheap lunch specials out of the blue.
Kung Po Chicken – Saucy and gooey. Some of the veggies were hard and tough to bite into. Not the kung po chicken we expected.
Sweet and Sour Chicken – The pork fried rice was surprisingly okay. I ordered the sweet and sour sauce on the side. I tried the same lunch special a few weeks back when my friend ordered it from a different takeout store in East Elmhurst and it was pretty darn good so I wanted to give it a shot in Forest Hills. What kinda threw me off was that they charged an extra 50 cents to have the sauce on the side. The container was small and the sauce was very watery and unsavory. It didn't have the elements of being "sweet and sour". It tasted like a watered down sauce with plenty of food coloring. The bite size chicken pieces were barely filled with chicken. Every bite was just loaded with batter. Nothing really good about it.
Crab Rangoon (8 pieces) – Skeptical at first but turns out to be better than I anticipated. It wasn't over fried, didn't taste old and the cream cheese filling was soft and creamy. Not a lot of crab meat but for what it's worth, I enjoyed it more than the lunch specials.
Verdict – Lunch specials were $6.15 each. I personally didn't enjoy either of them. The amount of pork fried rice they gave wasn't much compared to other chinese takeout I've seen. The crab rangoons were decent but I wouldn't go crazy over it.
