Love this Place !! The Best EggRolls Ever!! Family Business Can Use Support right Now The Offer Take out only Right now Check them Out

This place is our go to neighborhood Chinese takeout spot. The best thing on their menu is probably their egg roll it tastes almost peanut y and is unlike any eggroll I 've ever tried anywhere else. The food is always piping hot when we get it to our table (except one time with the cream cheese wontons . This is where you go if you 're wanting more 'authentic ' Chinese dishes you can find cropping up around the Metro area (thinking places like Grand Szechuan in Bloomington or Magic Noodle out in St Paul . It 's straight up American takeout saucy, usually on the sweeter side of things. But it 's good American takeout... we usually do get the spicy szechuan [beef, chicken, pork] and I like like their curry dish and lo mein. They happily accommodate if you ask for red/chili oil and or extra sichuan peppercorns. Like everyone says, no cards cash only. (There is a gas station with an ATM across the road in a pinch. . The one thing I wish is that there were more photos on their site of their dishes... :

This is my go-to spot for takeout! Your order will be ready in just 15 minutes, making it a quick and convenient choice. The shrimp fried rice with additional shrimp is absolutely delicious, and if you’re unsure what to choose from the extensive menu, the lemon or orange chicken are reliable favorites.

We asked the waitress for recommendations and didn't regret it. We ordered the Beef Chow Fun and Cream Cheese Wontons, as well as either fried or steamed pork potstickers. You definitely need to get the beef; the flavor is amazing! The orange sweet chili sauce they provide at the table is incredibly delicious! I haven't tried many other dishes, but this combination is great every time. Just a heads up, they only accept cash, so be sure to visit the ATM beforehand. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is always hot and fresh.
