This restaurant is humble, but clean. I had the cashew chicken combination plate with Egg Flower soup.
My soup came out immediately. It had a good consistency and a nice taste, but definitely needed salt and pepper.
My meal was delivered to me right before my soup was finished, which I always consider to be a mark of attentive service. And the portion sizes were huge.
My cashew chicken tasted very good, full of fresh vegetables and a hint of fresh ginger. The sauce was tasty without being overpowering.
The pork fried rice was average and a bit pedestrian, slightly bland but perfectly cooked and tender.
The BBQ pork was excellent, it did not have the creepy red dye #5 on it like so many places do (I don't know if they do but it just don't seem natural). This pork was obviously marinated and slow cooked because it was tender and the meat had a good taste throughout.
The fried shrimp had a good tasting breading that tasted lightly of honey, but overall it just seemed average and the breading was a bit under-cooked in the middle.
The service was friendly and very attentive.
My meal was reasonably priced for under $11. I would totally come again to try some other dishes. -

With so many Chinese food places to choose from, I'll cut to the chase: best orange chicken I've ever had. I could just end the review now. :)
When I was in high school, my parents used to order take-out from this place all the time, and I wasn't that excited about it. While in town visiting my mom a few weeks ago, she suggested we eat here; she still goes all the time and raves about it. It was actually my first time dining in there, and I wasn't expecting much.
Let me tell ya - the food has most definitely improved. I had the aforementioned orange chicken combo plate, and we ordered crab puffs for the table. It was all fresh, fantastic flavor, there was so much of it, and the combo plates come with more than just fried rice. The hot tea was very flavorful. I ate until my pants needed to be unbuttoned (but don't worry, I didn't do it), and still had enough for a full lunch the next day.
The staff were so friendly, knew the regulars by name. I'll be looking for nights to get down to visit my mom so we can go eat here again! Given that my mom eats here regularly, I know my great experience wasn't a fluke! -

I was introduced to AB Chinese a long, long time ago.
General Tsos: Deep fried, sauced nuggets of chicken. Tangy, zesty, slightly crispy. After all these years it is still the best I've ever tasted. -

Not the greatest selection of Chinese foods but definitely has all the common dishes that people usually enjoy. The food was okay, as I was not blown away by any means but cannot complain either.
That being said the food is very reasonably price and the place has fantastic service. The people are very friendly.
I would return again. -

The food is cheap, abundant and very good! A hat trick that eludes most places. At least one of the three is usually sacrificed. We were three for lunch today. Our grandson, Drew Thornton, who has the appetite of a voracious tapeworm, was with us. Given this, I didn't think take-home-boxes would be necessary, but they were. We all ordered off the Lunch Special menu. All dishes (General Tso's Chicken, Beef with Oyster Sauce and Sweet & Sour Pork) were an amazingly reasonable $5.75 ea. We all chose Fried Rice as our side. They arrived at our table family style which allowed us to sample each other's choices. We all walked out stuffed, even hollow-legged Drew. Oh, and the Tea was much better than the watery stuff most Chinese places serve. Almost as an afterthought, I will mention that selecting the Egg Flower Soup is recommended. It's good. The Hot & Sour Soup, not so much.

Cheap, and lots of it. If you like fried food, this is a good place for you. Service was good. Food just wasn't what I like.

We love this Chinese restaurant! This is definetly our go-to place for food that is tasty, cheap, fast, etc. I would absolutely recommend for both take out and dine-in (we have not yet tried delivery). For take-out bring your own plastic container for free soup :)
