I saw this place had mixed reviews, so I was a little concerned about ordering it. But it was great! I got the MooShoo with BBQ pork and the hot and sour soup. I liked the MooShoo a lot, especially because most places don't have the option to get it with BBQ pork. And the soup was very tangy and flavorful. Both dishes had lots of wood ear mushrooms, which I love. It even came with crispy noodles, unfortunately no sweet and sour sauce though so I didn't eat them. No biggie though.
It seems like most of the people complaining didn't like that the food was served with cheap dishware but that's not a problem for ordering in, and hey if it keeps the prices low I would prefer to eat on paper plates because the food itself is still just fine.

Ordered online. Worst Chinese restaurant I tried. Rice was salt less, dumplings had too much dough, I had no desire to finish it after eating the meat inside, which was average. Orange chicken is not crunchy. If you need a CHEAP Chinese food, even Panda Express is much more better.

Very flavorful and a good amount of food for the price. The chow mein was very aromatic and as a garlic lover it became a favorite. The fried rice was also very good. The chicken was ok not bad by any means just wish it had a little more tang and was a little crispier. Will order again.

I love this place. The pricing is incredible for the amount of food you get. I love that they have vegetarian options. The food is consistently good and they deliver very quickly.

The orange chicken is spongey and the texture is disgusting. I've had cafeteria orange chicken better than that.. We couldn't eat it at all. Would not order that again. The egg drop soup and wonton soup were great along with the dumplings.
