Solid late-night americanized chinese food in Waltham. Open the latest on weekends of any area non-fast food joints. I order from here monthly and the delivery is always fast, or sometimes I get pickup within 10-15 minutes of ordering. Accurate read-back of order by phone. Competitive pricing, staff are busy with loads of orders but always happy to lend a hand. I recommend the donuts when available, like sugary chinese fried dough pieces. Crab rangoons are by far the tastiest in the area in my opinion with the perfect mix of cream cheese and imitation crabmeat. Vegetarian options: You can get dishes with just vegetables or seafood and you can always ask to make sure the broth or sauce does not have meat or meat-stock. Dietary restrictions: You can order from the diet/healthy menu with no sugar or salt or msg added and usually it's steamed instead of fried. You can always ask if what you crave can be prepared more health consciously. Parking: Street parking is limited, especially at night when you compete with delivery drivers and the post-bar crowd.

The reviews are too harsh. Solid spot for late night chinese food. General gaps chicken and crab rangoons were good. Fried rice was a bit soggy but ok

I am writing this AS I am eating from them for the first time. They are an an absolute disgrace. Never order from these people. Even the drunk people around me are complaining. First, they are the first Chinese restaurant that gives NO rice. Doesn't tell you. I would have ordered it if I knew. Second. Every single dish of the four I ordered was dissapointing garbage. The f'ed up both general gou/tso chicken AND lo mein. How do you f up noodles?! They did it. They don't even look right, much less taste right. Imagine someone made lo mein using cheap spaghetti. I'm positive that is what is happening here. I ordered the shrimp in lobster sauce. There were 5 shrimp swimming in a quart of sauce. That I have no rice to pour it over. In this place, there is neither a chef, nor a dragon. Only frauds. Never eat here. Never order from here. You have been told, and warned. These frauds sell garbage that they pretend is food. Don't fall for it! There is a non zero chance that this place is a front for drugs and sells bad food on purpose so people won't bother thier money laundering operation. Their food looks like diarrhea in the BEFORE pic. And I am afraid what an hour from now will feel and look like. Dietary restrictions: You have a good chance of feeling sick after eating food here.

The food was not terrible but the pork fried rice legitimately has no meat or pork whatsoever. They filled all three sections with rice and a lousy piece of spare rib. Completely unsatisfied this business should be ashamed of themselves for robbing their customers gave us two pieces of tiny squares what the call napkins for two entire meals. It was tissue paper and these tiny cups of sauce and not even having the decency to fill it. They are cheap do not waste your money here. When I told the restaurant about the issue they did not seem to even care.

My favorite is singapore rice noodles & boneless ribs but the prices have increased incrementally over the last year. It used to be $17.34 for my order, june 2020, and in December 2021, it's now $21.33. Proportions of meat and noodles seem to have changed a bit and quality of cuts of boneless spare ribs is lower. Still pretty good! I am happy the support this good local business but i dont think they were affected by covid since it's all take out, more or less... In 2023, there's also no seating anymore and parking can get crazy w greek pizza next door
