I need to start by saying that this place legit makes food fresh to order! That is so rare for fast food places. The food: The beef with broccoli is the best I've had from a fast food takeout. The meat is so tender and the broccoli is fresh! The chow mein was just okay. There are wayyyy too many celery pieces in there which actually gives a taste of mint which has no business in chow mein. The noodles are NOT made fresh to order but I can tell that haven't sat out that long. The cream cheese wontons are NOT good. They taste like there is zero sugar in them so they are almost tart. They also do not have any green onion. The vegetable egg rolls are amazing! They too were not fresh but yet they were warm and still crispy! Since I have a mild obsession with wontons I likely won't be back but if that's not your thing, definitely worth a try! The man who helped me was super kind and the place is well kept. Drinks are only cans, no soda machine.
Orange chickens my favorite. Definitely a spot worth driving to if you live in Down Town Riverside
Found out that our favorite Chinese food spot had a change of ownership so came over to check it out. The lady at the counter was very nice and gave all my kids some twist cookies. We ordered two 2 item plates. The first plate was orange chicken & sesame chicken with noodle. The meat was very very good - and the noodle were definitely decent. The other plate was black pepper chicken and jalapeño chicken with rice. Again - meat was on point and my husband said he could eat it all day every day -- the rice however was on the dry side and seemed to have been sitting out too long - borderline crunchy. We also ordered chicken egg rolls which were on point and cheese wantons....again I loved this place for their unique wontons which were so much better then other places but it looks like the original owners took the recipe with them because these were not what I was use to. Truly heartbreaking- and if you've been here and had the wantons you know what I'm talking about. Over all we will continue to give our business here and support our local non-chain spot. I'm hoping the rice is better next time though!
