  Let's be honest. You either like it or you don't. No inbetween. I personally like it. I've been coming here for years since I was a freshman at Lowell High. I remember it as the place to go for cheap Chinese on half day Wednesdays. And it still is the place to go for cheap Chinese.
  
  The prices haven't changed much. Their all-day-specials are the deals to get. Actually it's the only thing I order from there. All are under $6. You get a ton of food in a Styrofoam to go box and so much so that they have to staple the opening shut so it doesn't spill out.
  
  Now let's discuss the food. It's really either a hit or a miss. Sometimes it's piping hot off the stove or fryer and other times it's warm and let's just say, the opposite of fresh. My experience is if you order near their closing time, you'll get the latter. So make sure you order during the day. Don't forget to ask for extra duck sauce. It goes with everything especially the crab rangoon. Yum.
  
  Let's not forget the interior of the restaurant. The counter and tables are still light pink and chipped. The floors and walls are still sticky icky and grimmey. Just as I remembered it as a freshman in high school. The interior hasn't changed, much to my displeasure.
  
  While the food and interior of the restaurant hasn't changed much in regards to taste or quantity (which is a good thing) the service has. It has surprisingly gotten better. The women who take the orders are genuinely very nice and they smile which is a plus. You don't get a lot of pleasant service with Chinese fast food anywhere.
  
  All in all, with all the other Chinese restaurants in Lowell, I think this will always remain #1 in my heart for cheap Chinese.

  The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. They have lunch specials for a ridiculously low price (about $5) and they do NOT skimp on the portions! I regret not discovering them when I lived in Lowell. Because of the proximity to my office and the speed and cost of the food, I eat here pretty frequently. I can call in an order and walk over to pick it up in about 10 minutes. Pretty great when I have a busy schedule! The food is never too greasy and always flavorful. I'm particularly fond of the sweet and sour chicken and the general tso's.

  I always go here when I wanna save money or eat alot of General Tso's Chicken. Out of all the downtown lowell restaurant, their general tso's has the biggest quantity.
  
  My advice would be to order ahead of time because it takes a while to prepare, but it'll be slightly warm after a while. On the other hand, it's very very hot when you order and wait on the spot, but this tends to kill half of my 45 min. lunch break.

  This place is great. The prices are insanely low! My favorite hot and sour soup ever and a Large which is the Pint size is only 3 dollars and change! Great all day specials. My favorite is the Crab rangoon, chicken fingers, and pork fried rice. That with my pint of soup always comes under $10, and easily is 2 meals.
  Great go-to chinese! Family owned.
