The staff is very polite, the portions are generous, and the food is consistently hot and delicious!

We made a stop here for a change of scenery during our I-95 road trip. The restaurant is located in a strip mall next to Food Lion. Ordering is done at the counter, and while most customers opted for takeout, there were a few clean tables available for dining in. The friendly staff brought our food to the table as it was ready. The dishes were hot, fresh, and served quickly—definitely a nice surprise in a stretch of South Carolina that doesn't have many dining options.

The food is alright. Doesn't taste like your normal Chinese food. The crab Rangoons weren't crispy or sweet as most would expect. I got the orange chicken and fried rice. The pork fried rice was good but the orange chicken was lacking in flavor even though it was smothered in a sauce. It looked burnt as well. The orange peels were black. I will probably go back and try some more dishes but it's not on the top of my list given how mid the food was this time. The service was good though and the prices are a little high given the quality.

The outside of the restaurant has a horrific SEWER smell since they opened. Was told they have been confronted multiple times and do nothing !
