The best chinese option I've found so far in the greater Hazleton area and their lunch menu is probably the most reasonably priced thing left on the planet. They don't take cards, though.

Best Chinese in the area. I go out of my way just to grab takeout from here. Also, it's the only place in the region that does general Tsos right (I ask for x x spicy). Try the garlic sauce with the pan-fried wonton as well. It goes with everything

Employees were kind and inviting, food was timely made and wasn't bad, I put mustard on it without thinking before I took the picture it was light on the chicken n broccoli sauce but the broccoli was beautifully "extra cooked" upon request. next time I will be asking for extra sauce on the chicken n broccoli but they did give me plenty of packets of sauce after i asked for them. I read allot of bad reviews but still gave this a chance, I do not regret it. Lunch under 10 without a drink or egg roll though no biggie. Pork fried rice has plenty of meat pieces as well #satisfied

Good, little stingy with the sauce packets not gonna lie, gotta tell them 3 times " EXTRA HOT MUSTARD" then when the girl only puts two in you gotta say "I ordered 80 worth of food, I'm gonna need a few more" that might just be a me problem tho. But yeah nice people & good super fresh food

The food was excellent. I had shrimp and broccoli, my friend had combination plater pork lo mein which comes with pork fried rice and a egg roll, my nephew had general so's chicken combination plater no spice, both said it was very good. Also had chicken noodle soup and friend had wonton soup.. It was all very good.

We order from here often. I have a very large family and feed anywhere from 10 to 15 people daily. Our orders are always perfect and the food is always delicious
