  Definitely some of the best take-out Chinese food I have found in Tampa. Tonight, I decided to order the PuPu platter, a good size sampler of various finger food, often used as appetizers. This one consisted of Chinese glazed ribs (I actually got 2.5 ribs, lol!), 2 eggrolls, 2 wings, 2 cheese wontons, 2 fried shrimp, and two chicken teriyaki skewers.
  
  On a 1 to 10 scale, ribs were 9, eggrolls 8, wings 9, wontons 8, shrimp 6 and the chicken teriyaki a 3 (dry and hard). they also provided a bag of rice crackers that were pretty stale.
  
  We also ordered some soup (I ordered Hot and Sour, and got Eggdrop, lol!), and my girlfriend ordered wonton soup. We traded, because she likes the eggdrop more than i do. Wontons were huge and tasty, lots of meat (did have some gristle, but the Chinese actually like gristle and tendon... (for texture) and that doesn't bother me. My girlfriend said the eggdrop was good also.
  
  Have I had better takout, yes! Have I had better takeout in Tampa, sadly no! Luckily I also like to cook a lot of Chinese dishes, when I am not being lazy! And that is an unfair comparison probably, since I can make like I like it!  :)

  This place isn't bad. Not amazing though. I feel like the flavors aren't very developed in their sauces. Yes, they use the same "velvet" chicken across their dishes, but the sauces should taste unique and have enough flavor to make the dishes taste good.
  
  I've tried the sesame, general tso, and orange chicken entrees, as well as the beef with broccoli, egg rolls, wonton soup, and pork fried rice. Everything is pretty average. The last pork fried rice I got was very fresh and had big chunks of pork in it. That's probably been the highlight so far.
  
  The chicken chunks are small-medium sized. The broccoli tastes fresh. The beef isn't sinewy and chewy but meaty and tender.
  
  The wonton soup is actually pretty good. The broth isn't too salty, and the wontons are firm and decently sized. But I guess those aren't made in house, so that's to be expected.
  
  I'll likely order from here again (not regularly), because they're close to where I live. I just wish the quality were a little better. Still a solid choice when you don't want to cook. I recommend getting the "A" family meal deal for simple meal planning. If I'm not making dinner, chances are I won't be making lunch for work the next day either! Chinese all week!

  I hate to leave a bad review for a new restaurant, but I need to do that.  This place needs to find another line of business to get into.
  
  We literally threw everything in the trash except for the fortune cookies.  Orange chicken was not spicy and served with fried rice instead of steamed.  Chicken wings (buffalo) were not spicy at all but rather seemed like they were covered with honey.  Ordered healthy option of broccoli with chicken for my son and got fried with honey.
  
  Delivery was an hour late.
  
  I get this is their first night delivering to an expanded area, maybe that's the issue.  I just don't see us ordering again from this place with better options closer by even though they are more expensive.

  So because of the other reviewer's, Laura, raving post of the yellow curry, I couldn't not try it. And let me tell you... not only was it some of the best Thai yellow curry I've ever had, overall it was some of the best Chinese I've ever had! The pictures surely don't do any justice since I had eaten half of it before I took the picture. Everything was so incredibly fresh and the shrimp were huge! They gained a very loyal customer today. The donuts were also some of the best I've ever had even comparing to eating at a restaurant. You have to try this place!
