This place has been around since I was a kid. The lady that ran it forever was such a kick. Think her son owns it now. This place has the best egg rolls I've ever had. Crab Rangoon's are amazing also. Meals and soup. I'm not big on egg drop sorry so I don't get that. The Sizzling Rice soup is so good though. Best soup for colds. Big portions. Great textures. I've had a lot of the different dishes here. Big ones for us are staple stuff probly but it's best in town. Mongolian beef. Garlic/princess chicken. They've got a really good spice you ask for if like spicey. Been awile since I ordered it but there's a dish that's number #69 there. It's a mixed dish with everything in it. Pork/beef/seafood/mixed veg with this great sauce and they bring it out in this fryer with rice. Anyways I think it's one of top Chinese places around. The owner is a good guy. Try to pay cash. All these restaurants are getting screwed over by cards.

The amount of food lasts my family for a couple of days which is a good thing because it costs around $50 for 3 of us. But the quality and quantity of food is superb. The last time I was there, it was super busy. I've tried calling them in the past, not sure if I had the right number or not. So now I drive there, order my food and then go in to get it. (We Live in Iowa).

Simply the best Chinese in the Quad cities since Yen Ching the one by South Park before they turned Japanese. They have the best fried rice and Mongolian beef. Make sure to try the sizzling rice soup too. Mouth watering just writing this review now. We moved away so we tried to pick it up every time we come back to the area.
