"First, I have to admit that this is a regular stop on the way home, perhaps because it is one of the best take-out places on the way home. Don't expect Golden Harbor, but it is good and affordable. Prices have risen recently, but still quite reasonable. There are better take-out places in CU, but this one has a great location and has a wonderful staff who treat us like family and are always happy, friendly, and efficient, \n\nThey have some excellent soups. My personal favorites are the seafood soup and the house special soup (a seafood, pork, veggie soup). My wife appreciates that they have the usual \"diet menu\" of steamed veggie dishes-- not authentic, but tasty enough if you use the garlic sauce), and my kids love the noodle dishes. \n\nThe menu is rather large, but in a way quite limited. \"Seafood\" dishes, for example, are almost exclusively shrimp. They have one or two scallop dishes and one or two fried fish dishes. Not being a fan of shrimp, I find this a big limitation. The fried fish dishes are quite good, but I'd like it better if they also had some squid, octopus, jellyfish, etc., or even more fried (or steamed? or broiled?) fish options.\n\nEverything here is tasty. I do like the bbq ribs and the pot stickers very much. \n\nLike most CU Chinese take out, this is not a place to go for ambience. They have a few tables-- basic chairs and formica tops-- like many other places. They have free tea and water for dine-in, and they have a cooler full of soft drinks for purchase. But we usually take it home, On rare occasion when they've gotten the order wrong, we simply tell them the next time and they have always believed us and made things right, usually by giving us the item free the next time we order it. They also often have coupons they give out, and these get you a free item (which varies depending upon how much you spend),.\n\nAll in all, we like this place. We patronize it often. As I said, there are better places in town, but this place always serves tasty food, is clean, and the staff friendly. Three stars for the fairly standard menu and because, if you are willing to drive out of your way you can find more authentic food. But this is American Chinese and it is worthy of your business,"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "1"^^ . "2013-07-31T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . . "3"^^ .
