Diner Review β„–4

Great little restaurant hidden within a shopping plaza on the Southside. Great atmosphere with very friendly people. Elena the owner along with her husband are exceptionally friendly.
The food was fabulous and plentiful.
We ordered shrimp Egg Foo Yung, Chicken with Broccoli combination and General Tso's chicken combination and the Won Ton Soup. All were delicious.
And the atmosphere at Christmas time is fun with all the decorations surrounding the tiny place.
Will definitely be returning.

Diner Review β„–7

This is my favorite Chinese/Thai restraunt in Indy for 2024. They have consistently made great dishes and have the best egg drop soup of anyplace I've eaten for the last 5 years. Their service is fast and friendly, the atmosphere has to be seen, it's very well done. I hope to be a regular for 2025 and beyond.

Diner Review β„–10

I absolutely love it here. Very friendly and DELICIOUS FOOD!! The atmosphere makes me feel like I belong and if I’m having a rough day I come in here. πŸ’œπŸ₯ΉπŸ’• I had garlic sauce chicken with pork fried rice and 6 crab rangoons. WORTH IT.

Diner Review β„–11

Such a neat little restaurant. There's so many things to pick from! Fair prices and good portions.

Diner Review β„–14

Took the sesame CHICKEN meal to go and the meal came with literally a pound of rice, 6 small pieces of chicken and a few broccoli crowns. Totally shorted me on what I was buying. This is probably the smallest amount of protein I’ve ever gotten with an order of Asian food. I will not be returning.

Diner Review β„–15

Amazing food and even better customer service. Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met

Genuinely the worst Chinese food I have ever had, after eating it it left my throat feeling odd. The chicken was terrible. The fried rice was too oily and the shrimp was terrible

Chicken Lo mein was great, as was the chicken on a stick.

Diner Review β„–31

Diner Review β„–32

Stick with the Chinese dishes. The Thai dishes were so salty that we could only try to eat it by fishing out the vegetables.

Diner Review β„–33

The best food hands done everything on the menu is amazing and the friendly smile that always greets you makes it 20 times better

Diner Review β„–34

Diner Review β„–39

Mongolian beef is amazing! Great food.

Diner Review β„–40

I discovered online ordering for this place and it was a game changer. It could have been around forever and I just didn't notice though.

Diner Review β„–41

Always a great experience. Fresh delicious food that looks smells and tastes fresh. We live in Westfield but anytime we find ourselves on the south side of town, we stop and bring it home. One of our favorite places for carry out.

Diner Review β„–42

I always order the chicken pad tai, its always amazing. The owners are super sweet as well!

Diner Review β„–43

I got the mu shoo Vegetable which was ok, flavor was fine but it was served with flour Tortillas instead of rice paper pancakes as advertised which did not go together at all. Rice is not good. Spring roll tasted like it was fried in old oil and I'm not sure what sauce it was served with, it was something brown and weirdly sour

Diner Review β„–44

My family has been ordering from this restaurant for 18 years. We love the food and the owners are always friendly and welcoming.

Diner Review β„–53

Good food

Diner Review β„–54

Literally just called this place. The guy that answered the phone was rude when i told him website states delivery. Guy said, no it does not...i took it down already. Check this as a place i will never do business with.

Diner Review β„–55

Great food at a reasonable price. The couple who own it are always super friendly

Diner Review β„–56

I just spent $75 on dinner here and before she rang me up I ask about a cup of coffee. She didn't ring it so I said well I guess their throwing it in since I just spent $75 so I ask for a cup she said $1 well I'm not running my credit card again for $1 so I guess I'll do without! I WONT BE BACK!!!!

Diner Review β„–57

I just ordered a meal for my family. We sat down at the dinner table to eat and while eating the egg drop soup, I didn’t see the hair in the soup I ate. I had to pull the hair out of my mouth. The kids saw this and immediately lost their appetite. So it was a wasted dinner. I called and asked for a refund for the meal since no one would eat after seeing that. The lady that answered the phone told me she would give me a refund but she would be sending someone back to pick up the food. This was upsetting as we have gone to this restaurant for the last few years and only go to this Chinese restaurant. She acted very upset that I called and told her I had to pull a hair from my mouth. We will not be going back to this restaurant after this experience. Not because of the hair but because of the unbelievable customer service!

Diner Review β„–80

Been eating here for like 10 years. Never once experienced food poisoning.

I literally had to taste this garbage twice. Once going in and the second 15 minutes later. I've never experienced food poisoning this fast or intense in my life. Save yourself.

Diner Review β„–85

Diner Review β„–86

Delivery time was 55 minutes which they tell me would be an hour Food had good flavor if I was a vegetarian I would be in love but very little meat I ordered a beef dinner and a chicken dinner and had them delivered in ordered 2 orders of crabra goons because I love them so much and so disappointed with the half a spoonful love cream cheese with crab meat in it how much in a 1/2 a spoonful I hope it lets me take a picture of these so I can show everybody how these are a joke

Diner Review β„–87

Diner Review β„–88

Chicken Pad Thai is my favorite. Fast and friendly highly recommend.

Diner Review β„–89

I really loved eating at this place when i worked in the area.
It is family owned and family ran.
They are super nice people that deserve your business.
The place have great food; with lots to choose from.
Always cooked fresh to order.
Everything is very affordable for the portions.
I do believe they run a delivery service most days but I'm not sure if they still do that or not... i would just call and ask.
But anway I really just hope they stay open forever.
Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Diner Review β„–90

Diner Review β„–91

Diner Review β„–92

The epitome of Thai food

Diner Review β„–93

Ordered a bunch of food via DoorDash. It was mostly inedible. Chicken curry tastes like hot garbage.

Diner Review β„–94

Good ass food. Taste good.

Diner Review β„–95

This is only Chinese food in academic sense, it is food, it has meat, and vegetables, pretty much ends there.

Diner Review β„–96

I've never had a bad experience with this place, unlike other Chinese Resturaunts, and the people that run it are so friendly. πŸ‘

Diner Review β„–97

Food is great, staff could be friendlier, an they could have more consistant delivery times odd hours.

Diner Review β„–98

Diner Review β„–99

Best Chinese food in the Midwest. Not kidding...

Diner Review β„–100

For what it is, a Chinese Take-Out place, it's good, fast, and priced right. The owner is friendly to talk with and they always treat me right.

Diner Review β„–101

Diner Review β„–102

Spanish rice... soupy Pad Thai ?? Rude, don't communicate anything with you. Expect you to serve yourself drinks and get your own menu and highchair and stares at you for a half an hour before finally asking if your dining in ??? Idk about their Chinese take out maybe if I ordered in it would have been a different experience but ill never dine their again or order Thai food there. Weird... my Asian brother in law did t eat.

Diner Review β„–113

Worst Chinese food I have ever tasted. Bland, Plain, and the rice was absolutely disgusting. My wife's low mein was better than my hunan chicken, but still wasn't anything special. $30 I'll never live down for sure. First and last time ever going there that is for sure.

Diner Review β„–114

Diner Review β„–115

Taste was alright, but not spicy (as the menu was saying). Waiting time OK, but could be a bit shorter too. My colleagues "Singapore" style lomein had Indian spice taste ;-) (it was way off, at least). And he knows what he is talking about.

Diner Review β„–116

For a small take out restaurant it was good ! My food is always on time and fresh. I also love the people that work there. Make sure you look for the free add on sides.

Diner Review β„–117

Pretty Good! I will be ordering again, I wish their Thai fried rice had a pineapple option.. This is a little different take on Pad Thai & Thai fried rice than I am used to. But both had great flavor, the Thai rice is basically regular fried rice with a lot of curry. The grab Rangoon were a hit with my boyfriend!

Diner Review β„–118

Very disappointing. No effort, skill, or passion. Food was bland, tasteless, and boring.
