The worst place to eat among the many places in commons, the beef is hard to bite, the chicken and ribs have an odd smell, and the chow mein is always burned. The portions of food are also very little. No wonder why there is always few people there. If you don't believe me, you'll know when you try it yourself.

Literally the definition of quantity over quality. Portions are amazing and cheap however the quality not so much which is completely fine.

I'm writing because I got the Mapo Tofu there for the first time in a long time and they have changed the recipe to one I like better. Now it's spicier, meatless (afaict)

That aside, it is basically what you expect from a cafeteria style Chinese restaurant. 12 items you can pair with rice or noodles, 11 bucks.

If you're starving and looking for a place to eat on campus, this place offers the best bang for your buck.

That said, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here if I wasn't on campus. Their lunch special comes out to $11 and change, for a similar amount of food that you get in a lunch special at other Chinese places.

The food quality is okay. Nothing fantastic, nothing terrible. There are a few more authentic options that are less commonly found in Chinese take-out restaurants, such as Mapo Tofu. The quality of these though are a bit disappointing; they don't really compare to how it would really be made authentically.

In the last week the serving size was cut in half. Food is still great, but the price shot up coupled with a reduction in size makes the value too low.

Decent Chinese food at a very good price for amount of food. They have the food in trays and they serve you what you want. The lunch combo is very reasonably priced just above 10 dollars for a lot of food. The food is sometimes hit or miss though with some days the food being not that great.

Something changed here. The girl that is up front is rude because she doesn't even know a bit of English and gets mad when you try to talk to her like it's your fault. Been going for 15 years. Always average. Last week it honestly tasted like the beef was rotten. I had to spit it out. Just saying, it's changed.

Staff are very friendly, but Food is too oily and the Chinese boss is freaking rude to the workers.

Every time they gave me extra servings and I’m so happy. I’ll enjoy the delicious meal now.

Terrible experience. Avoid 11.30am-1.00pm no sauce no napkins. I ask for it she just ignored me.

The taste is above meh grade but for the money can't complain. My appetite is below normal but the $7.50 combo easily lasts me two meals, and I think it's their most popular offering. Choice between fried rice, lo Mein and plain rice, the lo mein is probably the most filling but their fried rice is also really tasty. Not a fan of the General Tsos, it's a little too chewy for my taste but most of the other meat offerings are pretty good.

Unlimited soy sauce, duck sauce, hot sauce packets!
