this place is a gem has great reputation. The location is great for pick up right in the center of the busy city. I love there general tso chicken and sesame chicken combo dish called double dragon. I basically lived off this Food for the past couple of months. they get very busy and I definitely gave up trying to place orders over the phonebecause the owner and kitchen manager is very busy it's almost easier to go in person. If you live right nearby like I do, she's sweet and works her ass off. I respect her and the crew don't miss out.

Honestly this is the best Chinese food I have had in Delaware. Pretty much a hole in the wall.... but impressed with their fried rice , lo mien and general Tao chicken ! The wings where good but probably wouldn't order ago ... the green plantains are surprisingly good! Overall would highly recommend!

I, my family, and friends have all been coming here for years! We all believe it's the best around. The food is always delicious, fresh, and hot. The ladies there are nice even with how busy they are. Don't be discouraged due to the location. I moved out of Wilmington and I still travel back for my Chinese food.

Pretty good as far as "hood" Chinese takeout places go. -I think their tostones (fried green plantains) with garlic are superb, I usually get those with chicken wings. - I also really enjoy their house special fried rice, it's not as greasy as others places like this and they are generous with the meat and seafood they add. -Their dumplings are pretty doughy but still taste good. -I've have other dishes like tofu and mixed veggies (not on the menu but ask for tofu if you don't eat meat) and chicken broccoli. While tasty, I like to ask they ease up on the sauce because it can get to greasy for my taste. All in all, this is a solid takeout place with most dishes under $6.
