This Chinese restaurant may not be the fastest around, but the food is always incredible! I always but in a pretty large order, and it is worth the wait. They have the BEST crab rangoon, and the shrimp fried rice is always loaded with shrimp and veggies. They have never gotten my order wrong or left anything out. This is my go-to spot for amazing Chinese food. I have been coming here for 10+ years, and I will forever be a customer!

Food was really good and fresh. Except the egg roll, is was well well done and dry. Probably just forgot about it cause they were busy. But everything else was hot and really nice spice to the General Taos chicken. Might wanna ask for extra sauce cause mine was like just enough to cover the chicken and none to mix with the rice like other places. But overall really good taste and flavor to everything. Will definitely be ordering again soon!!!

Called to place a to-go order. The lady on the phone said it would be 20 minutes and it was. I would say probably the best fried rice in Lyman. The beef with broccoli and general chicken is pretty basic nothing special. This would be my to-go spot for take out for Lyman.

Really good food takes a while but the food is fresh and they will call to let you know it’s ready. I had the fried chicken and house rice. Both a 10/10. House rice is definitely my fav!
