"I grew up coming here. Nothing ever comes close, no matter where else I go. It’s always the first place I go when I’m visiting my hometown. It’s more than just nostalgia, although that is part of it, but it’s also just the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I will be genuinely devastated if this place ever closes. It’s a part of my childhood."

"Tasty food! If you don’t already know, you can get ANY dish with vegetarian meat substitute. I eat meat but my family does not, and this place satisfies all of us. My favorite from here is egg foo young, egg drop soup, and the sesame tofu. They also give large portions with free cream cheese wontons of varying amounts as you order over $30 in food. They are fast, affordable, and good for fast food. Dine in is a bit bland, so definitely don’t go here if you want ambience. It’s definitely a pickup and take home place."

"This small restaurant is an amazing find in Collegedale. Orders are freshly cooked so the vegetables are hot, slightly crisp and have not been sitting under a steam lamp. My shrimp lo mein was loaded with shrimp and the lunch portion was enough for two meals. The dumplings were just as I like them, crisp on the outside and steaming hot on the inside. Service was very fast, even though they had a steady stream of take out orders. The price for a lunch portion of lo mein, which included a huge portion of fried rice, was $7.70. They have a wonderful menu of meat alternatives, too. This is worth a repeat visit."

"You would never guess it by the appearance, but they have an entire vegetarian/vegan menu! Pretty exciting to find. The people who work there are incredibly nice as well. A surprising little find outside of Chattanooga."

"Unfortunately only after moving away did I realize how delicious the food is here. I have tried hard to find a comparable restaurant but it is impossible. There is only one China kitchen and their staff have always be great to work with."
