This place is amazing! Phenomenal food and very friendly staff! Their egg rolls are great and I've loved everything that I've ever gotten there. Best Chinese food south of the cities for sure. Thank you East China

This is the only Chinese restaurant I go to anymore. When the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious tasting at a very affordable price....why would I go anywhere else. The husband and wife that own this place are very friendly. I eat here about once a week. I almost always get Chicken chow mein which is beyond reasonable price. 12 of chow mein will feed two people. Chicken curry is real good too.

This is exactly what I was looking for, in comfort food. They have good selection, ordering online was simple, and the food was prepared quickly. Within two minutes I was home again, enjoying a succulent Chinese meal, and I got quite a lot of food for 25.

Has to be the best Chinese food in Apple Valley. Hot sour soup is top notch, same with the wonton. I got sweet n sour chicken the first time and it was really good. Chicken Lo mein the 2nd time and the flavor was great, I just didn't like the noodles (I prefer Aldente). My Wife loved the tofu dish too. Spring rolls were really good. Fresh, tasty and the price is just right.
