  I am on vacation in Kissimmee. I was looking for a somewhat decent Chinese Restaurant to have lunch.
  I was on my way to a bulk foods store and stumbled upon this place located in a strip shopping plaza anchored by a Walmart.
  I was a little skeptical since I did not see anyone going in and from the outside the windows appeared dark.
  At first I sought out Yelp reviews and found none.
  I approached the place. The menu was in the window. Prices looked good with lunch, dinner specials.
  So I went in.
  This is not a restaurant but a takeout with about ten tables to dine in but there is no wait staff.
  I ordered chicken with mixed vegetables just the way I like it...no cornstarch and light oil. It came with choice of soup. I opted for hot and sour though it was not listed as a choice yet they gave it to me plus an eggroll. I washed it all down with bottled water. They do not have an alcohol license.
  The food was just simply delicious.
  Portions we're huge. Two people could share it. Everything I ate was full of good flavor.
  I am not an eggroll lover but this was very good and not only.
  I would come back here in a heartbeat but unfortunately my vacation is coming to an end.
  When I come back to the area, I will be sure to eat here.

  Stopped here on the way from Orlando to Miami for a quick lunch with the family.  Simple interior, relatively clean, with both paper menus and a "photo" menu.  Could use an update to the wallpaper, but you're not here for the decor.  Lunch specials are six days a week, which is a nice touch for those on a budget.  My son's sweet and sour chicken (sauce of side) came out hot and he said "very tasty."  Plenty of chicken inside, crisp breading, and no grease; a nice surprise.  Dishes served with plenty of pork fried rice, which we also enjoyed.  Wonton soup was well made and flavorful per my wife.  My wife asked for only a little sauce on her kung pao chicken, and they prepared it perfectly.  Other chicken dishes also full of crispy vegetables and flavorful.  The food is not gourmet, and it's not five stars, but it's a solid three stars for "good" food.  If you're hungry for Chinese food, feel free to stop here.

  So I've been to most of the Chinese restaurants in Kissimmee and this isn't the best by any means. I ordered pork fried rice with ribs and it came out to 6.20 for their lunch special. To sum t up It looked and tasted like if I had made chinese food on my own. And I'm not chinese nor efficient in making it. Staff wasn't welcoming but most chinese places around aren't except Puerto Chino. But yeah if u need cheap food and don't really care this is the place for you.

  Not impressed at all... the chicken and broccoli had no flavor and the chicken was kinda slimy and fatty.
  
  The sweet and sour chicken was all bread no chicken.
  
  And the chicken lo mein was also terrible no flavor at all.
  
  I ate the white rice and thru out the rest couldn't eat the meal. I definitely won't order again.

  Went here based on overall star rating and was pretty disappointed. The general tso chicken that my boyfriend got was pretty good but the chicken lo mein I had was VERY disappointing. I also got the wonton soup and it was really bland and overall was lacking flavor.
  The lady at the front was very nice though and is the reason I'm not rating this place lower.
