I just moved to the area. Second time ordering delivery from this restaurant. I get the combination fried rice, its $18. There is barely any chicken, beef, shrimp, pork or eggs. Its mostly all rice and veggies.

Chicken lio mein aka Carrot lo mein. No veggies just carrot and a few sparse pieces of green onion. Orange chicken was white sugar, sweet and without spice. Food was fresh and ready on time. Would not go back again.
