What customers say?

“ Yes, the restaurant itself is rough around the edges but that's what makes this place so much better than the rest. The food is amazing and some of my favorite Chinese food in Findlay and the price can't be beat! I will always support them when I can! ”

“ Their food is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Our family loves the sesame chicken, General Tso's chicken and lo mein noodles. ”

- Tina Matteson -

“ Excellent Chinese place here in Findlay . Food is ready promptly and generally fresh. General Tsos, dumplings and lo mane are yummy. ”

- Brent Johnson -

“ I unintentionally committed the cardinal sin of walking in shortly before they closed, but the lady was super friendly about it after I apologized. I ordered Pork LoMein, Spicy Szechuan Beef, and General Tso's Chicken. The General Tso's chicken is by far the best I've had in Findlay and possibly in my lifetime. Don't let the building fool you, it very well may be the best hidden gem in plain view in Findlay. 10 out of 10 new customer earned. I can't wait to get more off the menu. ”

“ I’ve been a loyal customer for over 11years. And my husbands family for over 20years. Id never go anywhere else. Even when we moved out of state , when we came back to visit we ate there. I’d recommend calling ahead to order because they make it FRESH every time. Sesame chicken is my favorite!! ”

- Terra Hixsterr -

“ Just ate here for the first time tonight. Some of the best Chinese food I ever had. I ordered the Princess Pork and my husband order the Sweet and Sour Pork. The pork was tender, the sauce was delicious, food was piping hot and the service was friendly. I will be eating here much more often. Always glad to eat at a Locally-owned and Family operated restaurant. ”

“ Live this privately owned business. The couple who run it, are friendly, courteous, and polite. I only gave them 4 stars due to lack of heat and/or air conditioning. I know it went out a few years ago and the cost to replace it is astronomical for this small business. So let's keep supporting small businesses in the Findlay area. Love this place. ”

- Shafer Produce -

“ Great food, friendly service. My senior citizen dad, who has some health problems, usually says he has no appetite. He and my mother shared a lunch portion of pork chow mean. He had eaten most of his share, then said, " I am full and should stop eating, but it is so good, I will finish it." And he did. ”
