Neither the outside or inside look like much but that kitchen has wizards in it. This is THE BEST Spicy General Tso’s chicken I have ever had. It pushes more towards heat than sweetness. The flavor is indescribably deep. 100% urge everyone to find and...Read More

Happened to be staying overnight in downtown Springfield. Thought to myself "Wonder if I can find good Springfield style cashew chicken"? This place is not fancy but the food is delicious and the price is right. Highly recommended.

Hands down the best Chinese food in Springfield. The food is always fresh, the chicken is perfectly crispy, and the crab rangoons and egg rolls are outstanding, all at a great price. The staff is incredibly friendly too. Definitely worth a visit!
