Went for lunch and it was delicious! Had the Kung Pow chicken and my wife had broccoli beef and both were excellent. The lunch portions were bigger than many restaurants’ dinner portions. Small dining area but no problem getting a table. Highly recommend!

Great place to dine in for lunch and dinner the service was excellent. Logan our server was courteous friendly and attentive. While the service and atmosphere is outstanding the food is made from scratch to perfection hot delicious and unique. The Sesame beef is my favorite made your way regular or extra crispy, broccoli beef is another item that we order comes with egg roll and fried rice. I will always keep coming back great place to dine I suggest you try today I am Tomahawk and I have spoken. ❤️💛💚

The food is always delicious! I haven't had anything that I didn't like... and I am picky about my Chinese food. Prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is a little small, but always clean and the food and service more than makes up for it!

Amazing Chinese food that I grew up on. It's probably the best for the buck but it does not taste like a bargain.

We walked in at 7:46pm, their sign says the restaurant closes at 9pm and dine-in closes at 8pm. When we got inside, the woman told us that they are no longer accepting dine-in. We told her that the sign said dine-in accepted until 8pm. She said yes, but I stop accepting tables at 7:45pm. We said oh, well even in that case it’s 1 minute past… and she said I know, so it’s past 7:45pm. I then told her we just wanted 2 plates, nothing more. And she said well you can get them through drive-thru. I don’t know if this woman is the manager, but in case she’s not, I wanted to leave this review so that the management could see that this is how she is running things at night. We’ve been coming here a long time, so this was disappointing. I have worked in food service and in retail for 15 years, most businesses accept customers within the stated business hours. It was clear she just didn’t want to deal with us dining in. She had no other customers in store nor in the drive-thru.

Very friendly staff. Came in around 2:40pm and it felt good inside with the ac blowing. It was extremely hot outside. Very well lit restaurant! You can tell this restaurant has been here a while...the interior is a bit dated. Ordered General tso chicken. Came out great with a lot of extra sauce. Is definitely worth coming out to. I'll try the mapo tofu next time.

First of all have been eating here for years. Very sad day for myself and wife. Ordered the chicken with vegetables, egg drop soup, and egg roll. Soup was delicious as always. Egg rolls were just there, but the vegetables with chicken was horrible. Tasted like chicken, vegetables, cornstarch and water. No exaggeration not one hint of flavor no white pepper, garlic, msg, chicken bouillon. My wife told the waitress and her response was it's a white sauce. Needless to say we will not be eating here again.

I stopped by today at 2:44pm for take-out. Met by a vacuum at the door, I entered knowing not to judge a book by its cover, open mind is always a must when trying new things. Ordered Szechuan Beef, Vegetable Lo Mein and Spicy Crisy Chicken. The Spicy Chicken was gooey and had a hint of fish aroma, which made it uneatable. The Vegetable Lo Mein tasted like it was made yesterday and the Szechuan Beef was sweet and had an unfamiliar taste. Asking everyone 'Does this taste funny too you?' Family vote - "Don't eat that" Good Chinese food does not exist in Corpus Christi, it's official. $40 flushed.

All the lights are off for the most part make it appear like it's closed door sign says drive-through only dining room is closed. Had to find somewhere else to sit down and eat.

My family and I had the house fried rice and a plate of sesame chicken with white rice. I had to write this review because it was so good and fresh. Chicken was soft and fresh, broccoli was easy to eat, not raw like alot of places in CC. This is my new favorite Chinese food restaurant

There were several lunch specials to choose from. I was very surprised how delicious the food was. Service was quick and the prices were very reasonable. I ordered the happy family lunch special and paid $2.00 extra for lo mein instead of rice. The food was served quickly with a smile and piping hot! I will definitely be back, they also offer dinner specials.

I had to Hunan Shrimp in Hunan sauce for takeout today and it was so amazingly delicious that I had to leave a great review. It had that spicy flavor down! The shrimp were plump and very large! The broccoli florets were cooked perfectly in the Hunan sauce! The lunch time dish and iced teas was like $10 before tip. So much better lunch than fast food. The staff was quick to get my order as a walk in and out the door w hot delicious meal! Thanks. Highly recommend.

The first time we ordered from here, the food was great! We loved it. Ordered from them again and the menu seemed different. I couldn't find the sweet & sour pork I had gotten prior but I ordered anyhow. The food we received was inedible. The chicken for the almond chicken and the chicken teriyaki was thin, boiled, rubbery and unseasoned. They seem to mix the same chicken with various sauces for the different meals. The Mongolian beef was a little better but still hard to eat. Won't be back. Huge waste of money.

New ownership. It's convenient but Just not the same. Not as good. I'm bummed. Hot and sour soup - not good. Sesame chicken - not good. No more four delight. No more spicy eggplant. No more chop suey.

Family was in the mood for Chinese while on vacation. Dinner area is super small. Restrooms are outside of the building. Overall the food was good and you get a lot for what you paid for.

Super quick, moments from Del Mar (hey students), tasty, and arguably the best moo goo gai in Corpus. I've never dined inside, but when I need a quick bite to eat, this is my go-to. Their fried rice is also really tasty. Despite how many customers they get a day, they remember me and it's really nice. Support this business, you won't be disappointed.

Such a disappointment considering this place used to be our favorite. Guess the owners got even CHEAPER now, more greedy. Lunch specials no longer the regular price of $6.50/7.25. AND soups do not come with soup wontons anymore!!!! Ridiculous. $2 for crispy wontons for soup. Just dumb. PRICES WENT UP, portions got small! Rude customer service, was told to leave because they thought I was done & there was a line. Oh well!! I'll get up when I'm finished. Also not open weekends. Won't waste my time anymore. Life long customer gone.

Always amazing this place never disappoints. All the food is very fresh and flavorful. The fried food is the best here. You can tell the use fresh oil every day. The fried rice is never greasy and very delicious. I have always ordered something different from this place and it's always good. This is the best kept secret in Corpus.

orange chicken had no flavor and was tough. fried rice is yellow steamed rice, also with no flavor. the egg roll had an ok taste clearly was not made in-house. big portions but since it's hardly edible, does it matter?

This place was actually quite good. Very home cooking meal to it. Kinda sketchy from the outside but the food was good. Nice size portions, waitress kept asking if we need anything and asked about the food. Dinner special were reasonable priced. Overall good experience, definitely will go back.

It is your typical cheap Chinese food. Nothing special and not really worth it if you have a choice.

Environment was ok. Very small inside. Had a small mix up with the order because of language barriers. Kitchen refused to fix my order so I didn't partake in the meal. My wife said the food was 'ok'. I definitely will not return to this location.

Good decent Chinese food to eat. Small place you must get their early before the lunch hour otherwise you will be waiting for a table. My favorite is the Kung Pao Shrimp & Scallops. It is so authentic the flavors just burst in your mouth. The egg rolls are really good as well. The server was really fast and nice. This is one of my favorite chinese places to eat! Come try it out! I guarantee it that you will love it.
