I recently visited on February 12, 2026 and tried something different. I ordered the Hot Braised Wing combo and was not disappointed! It came with 6 wings, pork fried rice (choice of rice), and two wontons (choice of appetizer) for just under $10. Since I called in my order, it was fresh and ready upon arrival. The wings were crisp and the sauce was good. The rice was also cooked just right 👌🏾 I think I’ll try the Sweet and Sour wing combo next 😁

This is some of the best rides that I have had in a long time. I tasted it to see if I needed to a red pepper and soy sauce and I wound up eating it without adding anything. The Egg roll was crispy with great flavor. The cabbage inside was cooked just right. I hate soggy cabbage. This might just make my favorites list if they stay consistent
I had a whole order of shrimp and ham fried rice with no vegetables and added an egg. And 1 Egg roll. Wish I had ordered more.
