There is only one place our family goes to for Chinese food. And this is it. It's also a quiet place to eat for easy conversation. A TIP; call ahead and get a take-out order, then enjoy dinner at one of our local parks or bring food back to the apartment to enjoy. Our favorite is a #10 (mandarin chicken and fired rice) or a #13 broccoli chicken.
