We got some takeout from this unpretentious and friendly neighborhood Chinese restaurant on a Saturday night a couple hours before close. I was in the area so I placed my order in person instead of calling in. The husband and wife that own the place where hanging out in the back at a table sorting/pruning vegetables and chatting. The lady was perfectly lovely and helped me understand the rice/noodle plate system versus al la carte dishes. They also nailed the order even with the specific no rice request for the Mongolian beef (which by default would have been served on top). We got Mongolian beef, orange chicken on noodles, and Mu Shu Pork. Plus a few glass bottles of coke. It was all ready in 10 or 15 minutes and was really tasty! Well seasoned, well cooked, great textures and hearty portions for the price. The Mu Shu had much bigger pieces of cabbage and pork than most places I've been which led to really hearty and filling pancakes with big tasty chomps. The four pancakes they provided was enough to eat it all with the packets of hoisin. Go here and enjoy their food! It's classic American Chinese and makes me miss the old spot in our home town that closed when the owners retired.
