  It appears that others are having a few consistency issues here, this is not something my family has experienced, and we put it to the ultimate test about a month ago.
  
  We had some family from New York City in town. These are folks used to getting the best of the best when it comes to Chinese take-out, and they would let you know if any of it was not good in a heartbeat. It was their last night here, and in total, we numbered up to 16 people. We didn't want to fight the crowds for a table that large at any of the restaurants in town, and we had gotten sick of pizza. I suggested chinese take-out, and though I was met with skepticism, I convinced this rowdy crew to give it a chance.
  
  We ordered a ton of food. I mean... people just started circling stuff on that menu, all over the place. When we called to place the order on the phone, there is a chance the owner might have been in a little bit of shock at the sheer size of it... In total, we got just under $250 worth of stuff. To me, a lot of money, to a New Yorker... chump change for such a large order. When we went to pick it up, they were still preparing it, so we had to wait a short time. Happy to do so for fresh food. When it came out, we had to load two large boxes into the back of the SUV and carry a couple bags. We basically had ordered our own miniature chinese buffet. The owner helped us get it all packed in and was very thankful for the business.
  
  Once we got it all laid out back at home, the delicious smells filled the air, and all the food was piping hot. Everyone dug in and was very happy. The fried items were crisp and warm, the spicy items had a little bite but also great flavor. The Lo Mein was firm but flavorful, just a little spongy... to me just right. The stand-bys all tasted great, like the General Tso's chicken, the Chow Mein, the Kung pao Shrimp, etc. Some of the more interesting dishes we got, things that I would never really order normally I enjoyed as well. I wish I could recount all of those things, but half the time I didn't know exactly what I ate... just that I enjoyed eating all of it.
  
  In general, the NY crowd was satisfied, and even very complimentary of certain things. That must mean those guys did well. I certainly enjoyed it, and would recommend this tiny place to anyone in town looking for good Asian take-out.

  As a previous Yelper wrote, this is not a place you go to for atmosphere but the food is what you expect at most Chinese takeout places in NC. We ordered Garlic Beef which came with white rice, and Crab Rangoon both of which were served right out of the wok and fryer and were very hot. The food was plentiful and good and filled up two of us for under $12. We will be back when we are in town.

  Not terrible, especially if this is what you're craving. My meal was fairly priced and I called it in for take-out.  I probably won't be found eating at the location, I would prefer to eat it at the house.  But, take-out in Southport area .. this is where I go.

  The previous review had me convinced I was going to have a great supper but I was very disappointed. The atmosphere is stark and at 6:30 on a winter Friday night only two people were eating in. I ordered an egg roll- it was fine. The crab Rangoon was piping hot but unusually sweet and the Lo Mein tasted very strange-not all at like lo mein I've had anywhere else or Charlotte, Boston or New York.  Lots of take out orders - I may give it another go without the Lo mein.

  Ah - okay is the assessment. Fried Rice would have been great but the overly chewy pork chunks had to be spit out. Sweet and Sour chicken had good promise but grisle snuck in on a bite. Dumplings were solid but lost their luster after a few. But hey- if an emergency this will do the trick.
