This is a reliable place to go get Chinese fast food. It's really good and they do have a lot of variety here. I've ordered here several times have never been disappointed. And they do a combination of things under one roof. It's really a Chinese/Hawaiian barbecue restaurant. The portions are pretty cool. You'll get filled up eating here. I like their chowmein combinations here. The House, Shrimp, and Seafood Chow Meins are all tasty along with the Singapore Rice Noodles and Udon noodles. I also tried the Wonton Soup and that was savoringly good as well. The Hawaiian BBQ is pretty decent here too. Had two of the Musubi combinations so far and no complaints. It's not a hit and miss item on the menu.
But one of my favorites is the Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings! For some reason if a Chinese spot knows how to make some great tasting wings, I really feel like that seals the deal for me. So what I'm saying is they've won me over as a fan! Overall you can't go wrong here. My only advice is that since this is Chinese fast food, to not rate it solely on their ready made items. You know like when you go in and order your combination plates?.Pick one of their speciality items out because obviously they're going to make it cooked to order. You want to really see what tastes different here rather than running into the same taste you may get when you order just another standard issue combination plate. The delivery speed has been very prompt. I open up the lid and I see the steam coming off and ready for me to dive in! Definitely a solid place to keep in mind for those chinese comfort food cravings. -

Been ordering takeout from here for almost two years, thought it was time for a review! Whether we order in person or through Postmates, the food has been consistently great.
We usually get the combination fried rice, the orange chicken, and the crab rangoons. I've also ordered the salt and pepper shrimp, mapo tofu, and Mongolian beef.
This place is literally a hole in the wall in the MacArthur Park/Westlake area. You wouldn't expect the Chinese food in this area to be legit, but it really is. Yeah, some dishes are what you'd call Americanized Chinese food, but it's so good and the people who run this place are very sweet. They've thrown in some free goodies for me time to time.
My SO and I crave this place every other week. -

Placed an order here through Grub Hub. 4 items; an order of Spring Rolls, an order of the pan fried chicken dumplings, the Tofu and Veggie Udon, and a combo plate (fried rice, noodles, broccoli beef, and spring rolls)
The dumplings and spring rolls were great. The rest of the food was so bad my girlfriend and I couldn't even eat it. The rice and noodles were undercooked. The tofu was dry. And the broccoli beef was extremely bland.
I called the restaurant to let them know about my experience, in hopes of an apology or some effort to make things right. The person I spoke to was very rude and not apologetic at all. Basically told me, oh well.
This was handled poorly. I will never order from here again. And my hope is that anyone who reads this review will avoid ordering from here as well. Partly for the quality of the food, and partly for the severe failure of staff when a paying first time customer brought a complaint to their attention.
Shame on you.
