TL;DR: Finally, a normal, good Chinese restaurant. Most of Chinese in Charlottesville is either bougie Chinese or tastes bad. Very typical Chinese, affordable restaurant. The restaurant is a little run-down but the people were nice. I will be coming back, at least for pick-up. Specific Foods: Spring Roll: 7.7/10 Chicken and Broccoli: 7.2/10 Chicken in Garlic Sauce: 8.0/10 Special Attention: No bathrooms, at least ones that were obviously accessible. General Wait Time for 1/2 dishes: 15-20 min Room For Improvement: The restaurant could use some renovation.

I have eaten at every Chinese restaurant in Charlottesville, literally. These people are BY FAR, the BEST I have ever had (and I am a very picky and particular eater) They were extremely fast with FREE delivery (so I left a nice tip!) and very generous with their portions!!! I had the Amazing Chicken Lunch Special and Shrimp Fried Rice, Egg Roll and Fried Cheese Wontons. I am very pleased! My new and only GO-TO for Chinese from now on

I like to hit up their lunch special because the price is right, and it fills me up with leftovers for dinner. The lady who's usually there remembers me and my order of the Asian spicy chicken lunch special with no celery. Absolutely ! Always a friendly face when I'm there, good prices with delicious food, and I love their cream cheese won tons.
