11/10/2023 Decided to get the sweet and sour chicken and lemon chicken. However, I would recommend you getting the sauce is on the side because it makes the chicken soggy. The ham fried rice was pretty good with all the vegetables in there. It could have had a little more ham but it was fine. The pot stickers had no flavor and were a little dry. I would pass on those next time. The portions were generous for the price. There is only a few tables inside for dining. However, they have the whole inside of the restaurant blocked off with traffic cones and tables so you can't even get to the front counter. They only offer take out. I wish they had a website.

The food was really good. Was exceptionally surprised at the quality of the taste. Food was hot and freshly made. The service was quick and friendly. No indoor seating, pick up only. The area was blocked by cones. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 1 Recommended dishes Walnut Shrimp

If I could give 5 stars for service, I absolutely would. They were such nice people and were very friendly, but unfortunately, the friendliness can't make up for the lack of quality. I'm not sure if this is a Utah thing or if it was simply their ideas, but some things were too different for my liking. The ham fried rice was okay. I'm used to egg fried rice, so it was a little different eating ham fried rice. It also was missing a little bit of flavor too. It just seemed like boring rice really. We ordered a combo which came with 2 cream cheese Rangoon. Those were the spotlight of the meal. The egg rolls were not pork egg rolls. They were vegetable spring rolls and had weird water inside which made them really not taste good. I was really looking forward to those nice greasy fried egg rolls with cabbage and pork, but alas. The won Ton soup is less than stellar. It was packed full of vegetables which seemed good, but again, it had no flavor. It tastes like cabbage water. The worst of all was the won tons themselves. They were soggy chicken dumplings. They were not made of the typical won Ton wrappers, but more like bao bun dough and the meat inside was soggy flavorless chicken. The kung Pao chicken was really the only thing we ate aside from the crab Rangoon. They were heavy on the peanuts and veggies and it had a good sauce to meat ratio. Outside of that, I really can't recommend going to this place at all. Which I hate because they really were so friendly and made me think this food was going to be sooo good. I don't think Utah knows Chinese food though. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–10 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

The food was really good! However, their customer service was very rude and very uncomfortable. The guy who gave us the food was very unfriendly, impolite, and unprofessional. I'm 25 years old, I've been in Customer Service since I was 18! I never treat my customers this bad. My mom spent over 100 dollars on the food that actually leaked out, which made our napkins soaked, and it soaked through the cling wrap so our bags were full of liquid!! Not to mention their service includes delivery and literally told her that they do not do delivery (IF YOU DO NOT DO DELIVERY, THEN TAKE IT OFF). We hadn't ordered their food in almost 3 years, we are not coming back, I would not recommend this place!! So damn rude! I wanted to come unglued because my mom was very friendly and sweet to them. Do better!! YOUR FOOD IS NOT WORTH YOUR IGNORANCE. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

The food here is delicious, affordable, and the owners are super nice!! Their Bejing Beef is the best I've ever had! I ordered takeout here for the first time because they are super close to me. I was alone with my newborn and carried her in with me to pick up and they helped carry my food to my car. Such a kind gesture, I will definitely be coming back!

I been getting takeout/delivery from this place for years. Portion sizes are good and the food is good warm and hot. I keep forgetting to due a review on it, but if you want a place that's quick, has size, and makes the food right then this is it. Out of many years ordering here never felt like it's gone wrong!

Super nice people! The wontons are SO good! They don't ruin them with green onions 😂 sweet cream cheese and addicting I want more! The food is good too! We got 2 family meals and it fed 6 of us. We had sweet n sour chicken, general tso, house special noodles with beef shrimp and chicken, and fried rice. We took it to go and they wrapped the to go boxes with plastic so they didn't leak on our drive home! That was an amazing surprise! They also gave use plates and plasticware since we are traveling! So glad we went here! Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30

Went here for the first time this weekend... WOW! I was really surprised at how fast, friendly and how inexpensive the food was. Only $20 for about 10lbs. of food!!! I made sure to tip. Got the cashew chicken and the general cso chicken. Both were awesome!! I could NOT BELIEVE how huge the order was, like in heavy with all that food which was about 10lbs worth. I seriously do not know how they can make the cashew chicken without charging more. Cashews are expensive and there were nice huge cashews mixed in the chicken. I didn't even hardly put any rice in my food because the entree itself was plenty of food. The wrapping on the outside was really super nice too. So that way it doesn't tip over in the car. They put cellophane all over the styrofoam to hold everything together. I highly recommend this place. I will be returning next time I visit up north near here.

I just spent 113.00 on food for my family tonight. No delivery and very little satisfaction. The food was ok I guess. After picking it up, all my bags were soaked in sauce...very messy. My napkins were drenched and unusable. When we picked our order up, the young man who gave it to us was extremely rude. I felt like I was wasting their time. I will not be ordering from this place ever again. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Easily the best Chinese food I've had. Their prices are fantastic for the portion size and they are extremely quick with making the food fresh. Their delivery is almost always very fast and the same guy delivers it each time. He is literally the sweetest guy you will meet without actually speaking to you. I believe the restaurant is family owned which is really nice. The size of the actual dinning space is fairly small, but cozy, so it's best to do take out or delivery. If it's just 2 or 3 people you should be good to eat in. Almost every item on their menu has a alternative meat counterpart, which is great because everyone can get a meat that they like. I basically have only tried their chicken dishes because chicken is my favorite meat. -I love their Sweet & Sour Chicken which has chunks of cooked onion, bell pepper and pineapple in it. -Their Cashew Chicken is super flavorful and the best thing to order if you prefer salty over sweet. It has a lot of extra sauce in it which you can pour over the plain white rice and it makes the overall meal more filling. -Their Chicken Pon Pon is excellent, but costs a little more than the other dishes and I'm not sure why. -The Lemon Chicken is easily the best lemon chicken I've ever had and also comes with extra sauce at the bottom of the container which I put with my rice also. -Their Chicken Moo Goo Gai Pan is very savory and honestly reminds me more of soup. -Their Sesame Chicken is pretty good, but there are these little noodles at the bottom of the container that have an interesting texture and that soak up the extra sauce. -Both the Chicken with Broccoli and the Chicken with Peapods are very tasty, but I prefer the Cashew Chicken. -The Orange Chicken is different than any other orange chicken I've had before because it is shaped differently and thus it cooks differently. It is still tasty, but it's not my favorite dish of their's. -Their Chicken Lo Mein is the second best lo mein ever had and it is ordered with every meal. -The Chicken fried rice is a must if you don't like plain white rice. -Recently tried their Egg Rolls for the first time and they are very scrumptious. -The Fried Wontons are very plain. They are essentially a fried chip you dip into a sauce. They still taste okay, but the Cream Cheese Wontons are far better. -With every dish you order you get a good size portion of white rice and because we get so much extra white rice we haven't ordered the chicken fried rice in a while just to save a little extra. The sauces from every dish really come in handy.
