It’s a small eatery in a store front with huge flavor. It’s convenient in and out, has a drive thru and if you’re in a rush just call ahead. The spot is always clean and the service is always friendly. The food is made to order while you wait but still comes out in a timely fashion. I’m a fan of their broccoli chicken and egg drop soup. Condiments are self serve and everything is always well stocked. They’re located next door to Pizza Hut. Give them a shot. You can thank me later.

Ordered some egg drop soup but got a pint of lemon sauce that was meant for my husband’s lemon chicken other than that the food was good. Really love the rice.

Was really tasty, I ate here twice! It’s walking distance from the truck stop if you’re stuck here. Food is made to order and there wasn’t a long wait both times I walked in. House fried rice was solid along with the fried chicken wings first time. Following day I had the House lo mein with the pu pu platter. Average size containers, priced a little high I feel. Definitely will eat here again if I’m in the area

Update: hot and spicy beef was very good. New favorite. Pretty decent Chinese take out. I drive the 12 min from work to go here vs other places close by. Huge portions every time. Today I got the black pepper chicken and its the best thing I've tried from there. Chicken was a little chewy and too much sauce but their noodles are my favorite and the spring rolls are always super crunchy and hot.

Good food, huge variety of dishes made fresh, and prepared quickly. The pricing is very good and portion size just right.

My first time trying out this place and wow! It was incredible! I ordered the Mongolian Beef off the lunch menu, and a pint of lo mein noodles. The food was delicious! Even the fortune cookie was good. Even though it was crushed and didn’t have a fortune inside. Definitely will be returning!

Best Chinese food in Alabama! Mostly take-out. Convenient drive up window. I've been a customer for over 20 years. I used to live ~2 miles away now I stop whenever passing on I-65.

Excellent food, fast service,and reasonable price. What more could you ask for? I have eaten here multiple times and the food is always fresh and hot. You will alsonoften see one of the employees cleaning or chopping fresh vegetables. There is adequate seating for 10-15 people at 4-person tables, or you can grab your food to do. This is one of our normal stops so we will be back soon
