The food is delicious and is served in a timely manner. The staff are kind and super friendly. Tables and main floor are clean and easily accessible. My only problem would be that they only employee one server and so when the restaurant is slammed it takes a while to obtain your food. Overall a fantastic place to eat with a warm atmosphere. For anyone visiting make sure you fill out their book at the front desk!

Excellent service, very friendly. We came in 15 minutes to closing and they still served us. All of the food taste amazing and you could tell all the ingredients were fresh. I Would highly recommend to anyone. Will definitely stop whenever driving through on i70.

This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant! I love coming here for the Egg Drop Soup, steamed dumplings, sesame chicken, and all the appetizers, and you can't forget the Hot Tea. Yum! Ask and they can make it! The Lemon chicken or peking duck is delicious! There are also family dinner meals to choose from.

We stopped for late lunch on our cross country trip. Neat little sleepy town. On Main Street. Owner lady was very nice. Family owned for 30 years. Menu had variety, and a good family meal deal. I’m glad we stopped.

Food is really good and prices are not bad. Service is usually good and food comes fast. Egg drop soup served with the food is the best I have ever had.

While I wouldn't necessarily call it an "authentic" chinese restaraunt. The dishes they serve there and they way it is served as a family style sit down restaraunt is very great. If you go here with others around lunch, do consider the family option you wont regret it.

Egg drop soup was spectacular! Had to have a second bowl. Egg rolls very tasty. Highly recommend the General Tso,s Chicken.

Quaint, charmingly outdated and simple but delicious American style Chinese food. Step into the past. Clearly a local favorite and filled up quickly for dinner and catered a lot of take out meals.
