Food was delicious and alot of it! The owner was very nice and super thorough in describing menu items and making sure that we had everything we wanted and needed for a wonderful lunch while out of town , working. Service was quick, too. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend for everyone to eat here , if they happen to pass by this out of the way town , in Central Washington!

Rare is the review from me that is a take-out experience, but these nice folks are still stuck in scamdemic mode, like it's 2020. Their choice, so I will just shake my head and press on. Regardless, their Chin-Amer fare is absolutely fantastic. One look at their fried proteins will tell the tale. Those are hand-made on the spot, Cochise. Yang Tze Pork had great char sui flavor, and the sides were robust and delicious. We ordered from their 'family style' menu, and for $17 per, it was one helluva lot of food. Wifey kept trying to order some other items, and I had to tell her we were already going to get pounded with the amount of food we had comin'. The leftovers in my fridge will testify to that little factoid. This little town in the middle of nowhere is quite fortunate to have this famil

Stopped on our through town. They only serve take out and there is a small waiting area in the entrance. The old dining room is blocked off and full of boxes and kids things. There are no restrooms for customers. The portions are large and the prices reasonable. The food tasted more homemade than most Chinese restaurants - not as salty or greasy. As others mentioned, the sweet and sour sauce is thin, as is the almond chicken sauce. The pork did appear to be chopped up and formed into meatball type shapes before battering and frying. But, the result was tender and delicious! The chop suey and fried rice were very mildly flavored, almost bland, but very fresh tasting. The chown mein noodles had a good wok hay flavor. Overall, the food was satisfying and didn't leave a heavy feeling after e

Love Mei Lings!! It's clean and the staff is always friendly. The food isn't too greasy or heavy. I especially like their uncomplicated lunch buffet. It's quick and the food is always hot. They don't over stock the buffet but instead keep smaller fresh batches coming out. I also enjoy their regular menu in the evening. The cooks always try to accommodate requests and substitutions.
