Love the orange chicken! Didn't like the brown chicken though.

Very good caramelized chicken. But not very friendly staff. Can be quickly expensive.

Ordered the noodles, bourbon chicken and general Tso' chicken at the Quincy Market. Very healthy portion and quite good! Would order from them again.

I don't understand why this place got many bad reviews. I had a combo menu of ramen noodles and chicken. The staff was so friendly and they offered us a piece of chicken to try. It was one of the most delicious chickens I've had by far. The sauce was great. İt was sweet and the portions were big. The price is also not that much.

This brings me back to my childhood. The best fried rice and general tsos I've ever had was at this place called China Wok in the King of Prussia mall. They closed down a good decade ago, and I've never had anything like it since. As of Saturday, I found the same fried rice and general tsos of my early days here. Never thought I'd experience that again. Ate my double combo in like 3 minutes. If I lived in Boston I would go here every week. My friend let me try some of the honey chicken that they had got and it was really good too. Thank you for letting me relive my childhood one more time.

I got a combo order of fried rice and orange chicken. It was the best orange chicken I've ever had. It was sweet, fresh, and the best part was the fried rice was soy free. It sat well with me despite my many food sensitivities. I wish I could go back again but alas I live in a different state. I plan to come back here when visiting Boston again.

It was good but pricey for the portions. Customer service could have been better!

A touch on the pricey side for what is received but so is everything else. After browsing the options their samples sold us. Our whole family thought it was very tasty and we'd return if we ever go back.
