I would give this place 4/5 . Food taste fresh, chowmein was tasty and my first time ordering spicy orange chicken was good. Price was similar to other Chinese restaurants. We went around 1:30 so no lunch rush hour . Ambiance was normal for fast food Chinese place.

The food here is delicious!!! And the ladies are amazing! We came here about 3 weeks ago and got the whole family combo plates. They must have thought we were crazy because I sure did when I saw how much food they stuff into the plates. We ordered 5 combos and were able to feed 6 pple for lunch and dinner.

This place has been around forever. My mom used to get me chinese food from this place once a week when I was a teenager. Anyways, many years later, I decided to stop by to grab dinner. I was helped right away, and went with combo 1, chow mein, fried rice and 1 other item. Everything was delicious and portions were huge and plentiful for the price.

I LOVE Chinese food, and this is a great spot in Moreno Valley if you're looking for some to-go Asian cuisine. Walking in, I was a little confused as to where was ordered. There was a small sign for Grubhub showing where to pick up orders but no large "Order here" sign like most places. I was promptly greeted by a young lady who asked me what I'd like to order and that cleared up my confusion. As soon as you walk in there's a break in the sneeze guard where the line would typically start (there was no line when I walked in). I ordered a 2 item with half and half. For my first item I decided to go with my typical broccoli beef. I was having a little trouble deciding between orange chicken and mushroom chicken so I asked the lady helping me and she informed me that the mushroom chicken was one of their top items and I should probably try that. She said she doesn't care too much for mushroom chicken but she loves the mushrooms here and the sauce everything is cooked in is delicious, so naturally I went with the mushroom chicken. After that was plated, she said I should also try one of the beef egg rolls. I was originally planning on ordering my typical spring rolls, but who am I to argue with someone who works here and can tell what I like? Out the door with a 2 item and 1 beef egg roll total was $11.85 (59¢) card charge. Let's get into the good stuff: -Broccoli beef. This place has my absolute favorite thing, thinly sliced beef that is so tender it almost melts in my mouth. And the sauce is an almost perfect blend of sweet and savory. The carrots and broccoli could have used just a tad longer to be cooked, but the overall flavor was great. -Mushroom chicken. WOW. The flavor really was great on this, truly one of the best servings of mushroom chicken I've had from a takeout place. The mushrooms are amazingly cooked and don't give me that "mushy" texture I don't care for. And the sauce really was a great savory, almost curry like flavor that paired well with the zucchini and the tender chicken. -Chow Mein. Relatively standard for chow mein. I would say it was a little heavy on the pepper, so beware of that if you're picky with your pepper (I am talking black ground pepper, not Jalapeños or anything spicy). -Fried Rice. Also fairly standard fried rice. A tad dry but I didn't expect anything grand. I usually soak mine in soy sauce and leftover sauce from my items anyway so this was still great. -Beef Egg Roll. Some people might not care for these as there isn't a whole lot of beef. I'm not sure why I was expecting a Filipino Lumpia, but that's not what I got haha. Picture more a large spring roll with bits of ground beef throughout. That's pretty much what these are, and the flavor is great with their sweet and sour sauce. All in all a great experience, and I can't wait to be back to try some orange chicken!
