Huge portions well done. Passed this place several times until i noticed it was a Chinese restaurant Chinese restaurant with a southern type name was but mislesding but this is a great little place. The egg roles, tempura, and cream cheese rangoon (pictured) were all battered/rolled perfectly (not too much not too little) and cooked to a perfect crisp. Big Mama's Special (pictured) was a huge portion and everything tasted good. If you're looking for good Chinese at a fair price, that will definitely fill you up... This is the place.

Súper fresh food. Tasty. And super friendly staff and owner. Orange chicken a bit bland but perfect for kids and for someone who doesn’t want too much sweet or sour orange chicken. Love their wontons, fried rice, egg rolls, I have come 2x in these last few weeks. It’s the best I don’t mind the drive. I love it will become a regular.
