“ I’ve been in NC for 6 months. The Chinese food in NC is relatively terrible...until we came here. Everything was great! Excellent flavor. Short wait for food. It was so good, I called my husband mid-meal, because I was so excited that we had finally found a place to get good Chinese! Definitely recommend. I’ve already been back!!! ”
“ Great place, CASH ONLY. Make sure to order shrimp sauce and make sure it's in bag. It's kept cold till your food is ready so it's easy to forget. Good large size portions. Like the dinner menu because those plates comes with egg roll. Some say the lady is rude. She doesn't speak English well. I think they misinterpreting her. Numerous orders coming in. She doesn't have time to pet your little feelings. She's working to get food to everyone fast. ”
“ The 1 star reviews on here don’t seem to understand what kind of place this is. It’s a “hole in the wall” Chinese takeout place. And one of the very best I’ve ever had. General tso chicken, egg rolls, chicken wings, and lo mein are all delicious and a great value. I don’t recommend dining inside. It’s never been remodeled or repaired. But the food is delicious and affordable, and portions are great. What more could you possibly want from Chinese takeout? Oh, and I’m not saying it’s impossible, but in all the years I’ve been going here, I’ve never once been given an incorrect order. Keep it simple, state what you want, hand over the money. (Cash only.) Enjoy your food. This isn’t Applebees. ”
“ I’m a regular customer and have always been pleased with the service and the quality of the food. ”

Best Chinese take out in Morganton no doubt. I've ate alot of Chinese food in different areas this is my go to when I'm in the area. I wish them many many more years in business to come!! I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FREE PLATE OF ANYTHING I WANT FOR ADVERTISING SERIOUSLY. WHAT YALL THINK? ”
“ Me and my family have been coming here for at least 15 years. Best Chinese in Burke County and it isn't expensive. Always the same staff, and the food is the best. We are lucky to have the best Chinese in this county let alone state. Doesn't matter what you order or how much of it, everything is always 10 min and the order is always ACCURATE! We always get ours to go, and they always package it so well, that it's still HOT when I get home half an hour later. If this places ever closes, our family will take a day of grievance. ”
“ Never been here, but I ordered sweet and sour shrimp along with two shrimp egg rolls and a soda. The darn egg rolls were magnificent and the size of the shrimp were incredible and delectable. Rice had no vegetables but I'm not complaining it was delicious regardless. It didn't take too long to get considering I was there ordering it and walking out in the span of 15 minutes. It doesn't appear anything was twice fried so I'm not complaining once again it was absolutely phenomenal the whole experience and how quick it was so I'm happy... I will return!!! ”
“ Have been eating from here for more than 12 years and they make by far the most delicious Chinese food around. Quality of the fried chicken is unmatchable. Their lo meins are amazing and their fried rice is to die for. Don’t take my word for it, try their food and you’ll see that they mean business. I love them. ”
