    Pretty good and cheap chinese food for under $10! The combination platter was a nice satisfactory meal during my lunch break. The service was fast and attentive, I got my meal for takeout in under 5 minutes so it's good for when you are on the go. The combination platter gives you a lot of options but I chose the chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce with egg drop soup. I've had better egg drop soup before, I feel like it was pretty bland (could use a pop of sesame oil) and were a little skimpy on the egg. The chicken and eggplant however, was delicious and reminded me of how much I miss some chinese food. The eggplant to chicken ratio was pretty 2:1 but I didn't mind because I love eggplant anyways. The pork fried rice was really good too, I would recommend. My coworker did mention, she wishes they had an option to choose between soup and egg roll and have a soda instead of having to choose between the three to complete the meal. In essence, I would come again if I were craving some chinese food for a decent price. PS: SERVINGS ARE  GENEROUS!

    Food delivery review: the delivery was about 10-15 minutes early!

    The veggie lo mein was delicious. It needed just a bit of extra hot sauce which I had in my kitchen.

    The egg drop soup was exactly what I needed on a cold NYC day. This is going to be my go to spot for when I'm sick and need some soup

    The broccoli in garlic sauce was off, almost sweet. My hot sauce wasn't enough either. I wouldn't get this fish, but everything else was great!

    I bought crab sticks from this place in the past and they were decent. However, today I ordered Jumbo Fried Shrimp. ...BIG MISTAKE...HUGE. I had already devoured one shrimp, when something told me to open up the shrimp. To my unpleasant surprise the shrimp had a full black line ( the intestine) FULL OF SHRIMP SH!T. I went on a rampage, opening up all the shrimp, to find that they were not cleaned at all. The shrimp was SH!TTY... SH!TTY I TELL YOU! Avoid this place at all cost, unless you eat SH!T.

    Customer service was excellent, very nice lady at front counter. Food came out in reasonable time. 4 stars because the food was just okay, the rice was kind of dry. But! Combo comes with rice and an egg roll, soup or salad!

    It's not awful......but it's not good. This is your typical, "affordable"
    Chinese restaurant that usually would be in a low income neighborhood, smack in the middle of midtown. Pictures on the wall, French fried served etc. I actually usually enjoy places like this but this one is pretty mediocre and slow to boot
