Super delicious Chinese takeout! I loved the Mala Beef, it’s perfectly spicy. Everything came super quickly and was packed in an insulated bag so it stayed hot. Would definitely order again.
August 07 · Lucy Barrer-Tozzi
Ordered Delivery - Dan Dan noodles, Beef with Broccoli and an egg roll.The noodles were not only way too spicy and overly salty but the container was only 1/3 full. Picture shows the container before eating.The meat Beef and Broccoli was tough and chewy. The accompanying fried rice, tasteless.The spring roll was soggy and tasted like it had been microwaved.Will not be ordering from here again.

I picked up the order and was surprised by the fact that it was a ghost kitchen, but was pleasantly surprised by the Dan Dan Noodles! They were amazing! Most other places are flavorless and dry, but these were everything but that. Great portion, amazing price, and great flavor!

My current favorite Chinese takeout! Everything is super flavorful, tons of options to choose from, and quick delivery. Everything is packed nicely in a bag that helps keep food hot.

I always order the 5 Spice Wings, but lately they just haven’t been the same. I was a bit disappointed. They’re noticeably darker and slightly soggier than before, missing that crispy texture I used to love, they just don’t hit the same. I also consistently request “all flats” by phone and in the order notes, but never actually receive all flats. I really miss the old style wings that were golden brown and perfectly crispy. Bring those back!!!
