“ Had this for the first time and the food was pretty good. Reminds me of a good spot but it for sure isn't in the good. Still trying out the rest of the places in my neighborhood before I pick MY Chinese place. But this place has a leg up so far. ”
“ Just got home and was looking for a place to try. We ordered the chicken wings and fried rice. The chicken was tasty and not dry.. very moist. The rice was flavorful. I will definitely order some of the other Chinese dishes. Delivery was quick too! ”
“ I was in the mood for Chinese food and came across this spot. I called in my order of curry shrimp and fried rice. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. My food was ready and I paid and left. When I dug in, the curry shrimp was good. They were just a little stingy with the shrimp. Wish there was more. The rice was very tasty as well. All in all, I had a good experience. ”

“ Since I've moved to Nutley this is my go to spot. Their fried tofu is the best in the area, hands down. The vegetables are always perfectly cooked and the sauces are delicious. As someone who doesn't eat meat, i am so grateful to have great food right down the street that is sensitive to my food allergies. Delivery is always quick, my order is always correct and the staff is very sweet and never make you feel rushed. ”

The food quality was amazing, the white rice was cooked perfect and the proper amount of sauce on the chicken ! Everything was fresh ! excuse my picture as i decided to take it after i mixed everything. ”
“ This is my family's go-to Chinese delivery restaurant. The food is consistently delicious and they have never gotten my order wrong, right down to the special requests. The portions are huge, and it is one of the few meals that is just as good as leftovers. Highly recommended! ”
