“ Best restaurant in the food court! Super kind people and portions are big. I highly recommend! I have always had great experiences here. ”
“ I got the Combo 2, which is two entrees with either fried rice or lo mein. So I ordered the orange chicken, chicken with mushrooms, and vegetable lo mein. It is great! I highly recommend all of the dishes. Chicken was tender and flavorful. There was enough sauce and marinade so it wasn’t dry. I also ordered cream cheese wontons. The service was very fast, and also friendly. Definitely stopping by again! ”
