Whether you are a local or a passer-through like myself, this place will have something for you and it will taste absolutely delicious.Picked this as a dinner travel stop as we head back home and was sooooo happy we did.Broccoli and Tofu was phenomenal. Service was so friendly and considerate. If I ever cross through this tiny town again I will most certainly be back.Thank you so so much!

Just got carry out sesame chicken and garlic pork. It was so good I usually feel any Chinese food with veggies is greasy but this was perfect and flavorful. And the sesame chicken has a wonderful flavor it was perfect!

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in a long time! Our waitress was not just friendly but had a great sense of humor! Our party of 5 enjoyed all of our food! Highly recommend to families as well since my youngest had Chicken & Fries. Will be back soon!

This photo is leftovers and it's even better the next day! By far the best Chinese food I've ever eaten. I moved away 10 years ago and the lucky Dragon is always my first go to when I'm in town. The crab Rangoon is like no other! To top it off the owners are the nicest people around. I've never had a bad experience here. Wish they would ship Togo orders
