  TLDR Bottom line: Fast, fresh, priced right, with friendly service and no MSG.
  
  Important plus: No MSG in their food. I’m highly reactive to MSG and have never had a reaction from any of the dishes I’ve tried from this restaurant. I’ve been to this restaurant dozens of times over the years.
  
  No MSG is going to mean that some of their dishes won’t have that generic Asian umami savoury flavour. Therefore, you may want to add a little soy sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, etc. to taste.
  
  That said, I find their soups, their noodle, rice and stir fry dishes as well as the egg and pancake dishes to be very fresh, well prepared and tasty. I really haven’t sampled the deep fried “combo plate” side of their menu much, as I don’t like those anywhere, so couldn’t be very objective about them anyway.
  
  We’ve never once waited longer than stated on the phone for a pick up order. Your food will take longer at peak times. Just like at the McFastFood drive thru. We’ve never tried their home delivery service. Can’t remember any significant screw ups on an order.
  
  Is this the best Chinese food you’ll find in the world? No, of course not. For well-priced take-out, 10,000 miles from Hong Kong though, it is very good. Based on their performance and my expectations for a small take-out restaurant, I'd likely give them 4.5 stars if half stars were an option.
  
  P.S. If you take the $25 paid cash free choice, go for the wings.. the other two choices aren’t overly enticing.

  This is a wonderful family run business. The chicken balls are the best in the city. Always enjoy the pick up experience and great staff. Always see return customers when picking up our order.

  Best Chinese food in Peterborough by far. Take out and delivery are always great. The staff are nice and helpful.

  They are fast but very greasy.
  Asked 3 times to substitute egg-rolls for the spring-rolls. They never did. I phones to complain and they told me to come back tomorrow we are too busy.
  Who the hell wants there egg rolls tomorrow.
  What restaurant is too busy taking new orders to fix your order.
  I would not recommend this restaurant to about.
