I ordered vegetable chow mein and spring rolls. It was a total of 19 bucks. Pretty pricey in my opinion. When I open my order I notice my dish was half noodle half fried rice. Flavors were okay wish my noodle dish actually had noodles and not half rice. Along with more vegetables.

I believe everyone in Lebanon, VA goes there for the yum yum sauce...15% automatic gratuity, not sure if it can be removed. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you receive
