We happened to be driving Highway 15 at lunch, and thought we would try some Chinese food for lunch. We had pork egg rolls, Hunan chicken and Szechuan pork. Both were listed as hot and spicy which is just what we wanted! Delicious! The owner was very personable and hospitable. We will be back!

This was our first time ordering take out from here. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We had Chicken with Broccoli and Orange Chicken. The orange chicken is listed as "hot & spicy" on the menu, so we requested that they tone it down some. It was perfect for us. We look forward to ordering again in the future.
