“ We have our favorites that never disappoint-- Mongolian Beef, Black Bean Chicken and Princess Prawns! The egg rolls are very good too! ”
“ I'm pretty sure this business has been there 50 years. One of the waitresses has been there 30 years!! My wife and I go there for date night. The food came quickly and was hot. Well seasoned and the portion size was appropriate. The staff is friendly, as always. The only thing I can say to the negative would be that the interior needs paint and the brass work needs polishing. That won't keep us away though. We'll be back. ”
“ My wife and I went on a whim and we were very pleased with our experience. The food took just a bit longer to arrive than I am used to but the portions and flavors were absolutely perfect. Value wise 50 dollars for two was (for me) Abita high but we are definitely going to go back. Service was great and so polite and kind. ”
“ My favorite Chinese in town. They have a huge menu, so whatever palate you have, you can find something here. The inside is rustic and the ambience transports you away from Rockford and into a little slice of Asia. The owner is friendly and so is the staff, and there are also video slots available if that's your thing. We love coming here to dine in and carry out! ”
“ I hadn't been here in a long time, and I knew that the owners were different, but I wanted to try it again. We were seated and had water, drinks and orders taken right away, early Friday evening. We had twice cooked pork, which had always been a favorite in the past, and hunan beef. The pork wasn't as good as I remembered it. It had some heat, but mainly from the peppers, not the sauce. The beef was large chunks of grilled beef rather than sliced beef, but I liked it, and they brought steak knives out when serving it. My only objection there was that it had more sweetness than heat. Over all, I enjoyed the meal. It was good, not great. ”
“ New customer after my teenage years and I am impressed. Hot food hot, cold food cold. Service was comfortablely fast. The dinner socially and quiet only well behaved children in the resturant. ”
“ My wife had a taste for Chinese food, and found this place in Rockford that we wanted to try. It's on State Street, and is on the north site, with parking in front. We dropped in after church, and the place was COVID quiet. There were several tables occupied, and it was easy to maintain social distancing. My wife ordered the Rainbow Peking Noodle dish, and I went with the General Gan Pong Chicken. Both came with large portions, and tasted just fine. The tables were large and comfortable. The service was good. The price was good. No complaints. ”
