I work near by and this is a great place to get a good meal for the right price. Service is fast and you get a lot for your money.

The food is decent and you can't beat the price! Their delivery times are a bit long but the food is always hot when it arrives.

I stopped in there last week for takeout and ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. The food was average. Not good. Not bad. Its amazing. Sometimes the food is delicious and sometimes it is terrible. Its never consistent. I went to the men's restroom and the light was off...very dark. I found the light switch. When I flipped up the switch I felt something rough. The light came on and I suddenly realized my fingers brushed against a light switch with many months of grime and buildup. Absolutely disgusting. I looked around and grime was on the walls, the floor and toilet were dirty...the kind of restroom you have to decide if you really, REALLY need to use right then or can it wait til later. I immediately washed my hands a couple of times. Just gross. Their rating from the health department is posted as a 97 with the last inspection 3 months ago. Health inspections in NC are sort of a joke.

So. No one there cares or takes responsibility to ensure a clean restroom. They should at least clean the light switch wall plate. I should have taken a picture.

We stop here every time we're in Raleigh! The soups are to die for and the shrimp is lobster sauce is the best I've ever had. The staff is very accommodating

After years of not finding a place that offers
SIZZLING RICE SOUP we found this small
but great place in Raleigh, N.C.. We lived in
California for about a year and loved the
foods there. One thing we loved was this
soup. It is not so common because it is one
of those soups that takes a lot of time and
effort to make. That's the reason we didn't
make it at home. Easy ingredients but the
preparation is very time consuming. It isn't
one of those meals that does well when
reheating. It's served very hot ( watch your
tongue ) but is delicious !!! This small cafe
has very good Chinese food and is worth
our travel to get there but the sizzling rice
soup is a must. Can't thank the owner
enough for offering it !!!
