The orange chicken was great! Super delicious. I really liked it because of the spicy flavor it had. Just perfect. The steam rice was good. The soup was very good. The ice tea was great as well. I like the seats here very confortable to eat. This is a nice place to come eat with friends or family. The single private restroom in here is in good clean condition. I appreciate the way they keep their restrooms clean.
