I ordered 10 buffalo wings and they gave me wings that were cooked earlier in the day and recooked them instead of cooking them fresh. I could not bite into the wings because they were so hard. I should have checked my food before pulling off.

Not exactly Panda but reasonably priced, convenient (Suitland feds) and adequate carry-out Chinese restaurant with large selections that take time to explore and find perennial favorites like sweet-sour chickens, mongolian beef, wonton soup, momo gaipan, etc. No-contact transaction was smooth and adequate customer service. Edgy area so be mindful of your surrounding and time of day when ordering. This was my first time lunching at this family run establishment so I don't have any previous experience (ie, previous owner) but will update review at other times in the future future.

Every time I go here, I get my orders within a minute or two, it makes me happy because I don't have to wait, I can go with my other orders immediately, thank you, contact the manager.

This place has the best steak and cheese egg rolls that I have ever had. The egg foo young was tasty. My white rice was cooked well and delicious. The shrimp egg roll was good too!
