Favorite Chinese food in the local area! Frequent here often! Visited on 1/20/2023 and it was the best take out we've ever received from them! Still super hot when we got home and were a 20 minute drive away!

My husband and I came in for dinner yesterday. We enjoyed our food very much. We use to eat there when we lived in Highland years ago and it was very good then. The service was great. Our server was so very nice and friendly. Very welcoming. We enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely come back. It was worth the drive.

Such nice people, service is always great. Today I left my wallet at the restaurant and didn't even realize until one of the workers showed up later that night with nothing missing, and they wouldn't accept money for it. 5 stars

Been in here since I was a kid. Honestly my favorite place to eat every time I try to eat Chinese anywhere else. It just don't taste as good. Truly the best place to eat in highland and honestly for a good hour drive around

My favorite Chinese restaurant in our area. Sauces are thick, portions are nice and the food is delicious. Owner's changed a few years ago and the food has gotten even better. I did have a disappointing delivery experience once but that was the old owners, so I can't comment on that now. Their crab Rangoons are delicious. They aren't "cheap" but cheap Chinese usually isn't good. We usually carry out dinner specials and they give you a ton of meat. Update: Still love this place! They have a lunch special that's 6 or so.
