This is my new hot spot for Chinese, Not only is it cheap but also better then anything else I've had south of Toronto. (note, I rate that based on non American Chinese food.) If you're looking for a basic Chinese place that serves stuff like Orange chicken or sesame beef... that's not real Chinese food.

Note that the place is in the middle of an army base town, it's not the best of area and the store isnt the best looking VS some of the larger restaurants, do not let this keep you from going there.


I rate this a 5/5
