    Not at all like the Michigan road Yen Ching (Now Gone). I had Sesame Chicken, was full of broccoli, carrots and a sprinkle of chicken. Taste was OK. Lunch had no soup or egg roll. Left no tip on Credit Card receipt. Was going to leave cash but forgot I had none in my wallet. Thought I'd leave double next time. After I was all the way to my car, waitress ran out side yelling, YOU NOT LEAVE TIP ? YOU NOT LEAVE TIP?

    My favorite restaurant of all time! My family has been going since the year I was born. I'm now 33 and it's still my favorite. The house beef is amazing. Garlic chicken is great any the pot stickers can't be beat!

    So I ordered some delivery from them a few days ago and it was a somewhat mixed result. I love their location on the northwest side so thought I'd try this one since it's close to my house. I ordered the appetizer sampler, general tso chicken, and Mongolian beef. The Mongolian beef was amazing just like I had remembered it being at the other location. It was melt in your mouth fantastic. The General Tso's was also very good tasting. You may be wondering if everything was so good why I'm only giving 3 stars....well here's why. The chicken wing for the appetizer still had little feathers on it. I get that it's a chicken and they are covered in those in life, but either the supplier messed up and didn't thoroughly pluck them off or someone at the restaurant didn't. Point being I'd prefer my dead birds to be all tasty skin and muscles only without the feathers. Anyway I'll still come back because the rest of the food was awesome! Just whoever is in charge of plucking feathers should be a bit more vigilant about it!

    The food is great and the owner is wonderful, but the server is extremely rude to minorities. I've been going here for 20 years ad will continue to order carryout so I'm not subjected to the awful server.

    Driven by this place SO many times, but have never stopped to eat as I live on the north side. Girlfriend informed me owners are retiring later this year, and all her friends rave about this place, so we have to give it a try. Traditional Chinese decor inside. Very low lighting which I guess adds to the ambiance. Menu was very diverse with items I haven’t seen at other Chinese restaurants. Food was great, but when I asked our server some curious questions as to ingredients and what various sauces were for, all I got was what I interpreted as “you are stupid” laughter. Never answered any of my questions. Give em a try before they retire and close down, cause the food is very good. Customer service from my perspective needs some shine unless you’re a regular.
