I placed an order over the phone to pick up, which consisted of a Large Sesame Chicken and a Large Chicken Fried Rice. I was told about ten minutes. That’s a quick turnaround and I was excited to hear that as I didn’t feel like waiting. The Sesame Chicken was pretty saucy and it had sesame seeds sprinkled nicely over all the chicken. There was also broccoli in the platter, but I’m not a fan of broccoli, so I steered clear of it. The portion was good and I shared it with my girlfriend. We couldn’t even finish it together. The Chicken Fried Rice was awesome. It was cooked just right and the vegetables added flavor. The chicken tasted fresh and none of it was chewy. I can tell they didn’t cheap out on the quality. They also gave us a white rice with our order. It was fresh and tasted just as it should. Overall, the food here is awesome and I plan on coming back!

Update: have to lower to 4 stars. Vegetable tend to be a bit bland. The vegetable dish and beef and broccoli both had bland vegetables. The beef was ok, but nothing great. 2 stars for vegetable dish, 2-3 for beef and broccoli. Original Review: Option for Dinner Combos which include Veggie Egg Roll and Chicken Fried rice set this place apart from other Chinese Takeout places. Their Mongolian Beef was absolutely perfect and the best I've ever had. Very good food, made very quickly, not perfect, but I will be back. See below for more detail: Chicken wing appetizers - worst thing of what I ordered. Expensive, good size, but the chicken was over cooked, very dark exterior, tough, and lacking in flavor. However, still edible. I'd give 2 stars. J's Peapod wings are much better. Chicken Hot & Sour Soup - Best Hot & Sour Soup I've had in a while from several different places. Good spice, good tang, and I like the chicken rather than the standard pork, great, 4 stars. I LOVE that they have the option of Dinner Combos, which come with an entrée, chicken fried rice, and an egg roll. Most places only do lunch combos, so if you want an entrée and fried rice for dinner you're spending $16 at the least. I think this makes the value at this restaurant much better. But I don't think all entrees can come as a dinner combo, only the ones listed on the menu...but I didn't ask to verify. - 5 stars for just having that option! Shrimp Chow Fun Noodle - Delicious. The Shrimps are large, fresh, and most importantly, deveined! Good overall taste. The actual takeout looks just like the picture (on google maps reviews) No corners cut here! - 5 stars Mongolian Beef Dinner Combo - Very likely the best Mongolian Beef I've ever had. Just like the picture. Good cuts of beef, not fatty and chewy, but nice and tender. Onions and everything are perfectly sautéed. Nice amount of heat in the dish to bring out the flavors, well done! - 5 stars Sweet & Sour Chicken Dinner Combo - The battered chicken is what you'd expect from takeout. I don't order this a lot, but I was displeased with the sauce. I feel the sauce should be thicker, redder, and more flavorful...more sweetness and tang. It felt like a thin syrup. So my kids ate it without the sauce, and enjoyed it. They said it was like chicken nuggets (a good thing) and they enjoyed the chicken fried rice that came with it. - 4 stars Shrimp in Lobster Sauce (w/Pork) Dinner Combo - I got this because the picture looked so good. It was very good. I just wish I could get it without pork, but it looked just like the picture, and tasted delicious! Again, large fresh shrimp, deveined. - 5 stars Vegetarian Eggrolls (Included with the dinner combos) - Standardly Delicious! Good flavor, good crispy roll, my wife noted the hint of cinnamon (I believe it's the allspice, but I believe this is standard for egg rolls) - 5 stars. Chicken Fried Rice (Included with the dinner combos) - Good. Maybe could use more chicken, but I wouldn't complain. I enjoyed the flavor and texture of it, as did my kids. - 5 stars Keep it up, Ken King!

Bananas for you
