This place should be called crispy fish
There's a dish that I have been ordering here since the place opened almost 20 years ago called Crispy Fish. It's a deep fried whole grouper (I think...) in a brown ginger sauce with little vegetables that is A M A Z I N G!!! Comes with rice - brown or white. We've tried to order it elsewhere and it's a waste of time - no one else seems to get it just right. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare but it's worth the wait... I usually order it on my way there and I make sure I'm there before it's ready because you want it freshly served... Trust me! And don't have it to go... The humidity in the bag messes it all up. Everyone that I have brought here for it loves it and always come back. And get the side order of broccoli with fresh garlic (not in the brown sauce) - it's really good and will make you want to fight people off so you don't have to share... :-) (I can't tell you about anything else because I've never ordered anything else... ever...) Happy Eating!

fast but blech.
This place delivers lightening fast - I placed my order and felt as though I had barely hung up the phone before the doorbell rang with my food. I should have known that was a bad sign. The dumplings were pretty much lumps of soggy dough and filling. The General Tso's Chicken was black and tasted far too strongly of soy sauce. The only passable dish was the lo mein. I'd rather wait longer for actually decent food. Never again!

Best Brown Sauce
I like my different chinese food restaurants for different things, and this place has one of my favorite brown sauces. Their lo mein is really great too, as is their fried rice. But really, everything is great!

Fast and good
We order take out probably once a week. We love it generally, recommend it highly (although - full disclosure - we've had nights where the food was not as good as usual.) Always fresh ingredients. Extremely fast delivery.

SERIOUSLY?
alright, so I decided to order in and referred to menupages to help me find some good chinese food in the area. I usually order from another place, but they let me down last time so I thought i'd try something new, with better reviews. I ordered a sesame chicken combination platter with white rice. THE SESAME CHICKEN WAS TASTELESS. seriously? not even the appropriate sauce and not only was the sauce bland, the dish itself was dry. and the white rice? come on. I don't think i've ever had bad rice, but this rice was gross. I'm so dissapointed. I also had a vegetable roll, which was good, and the egg drop soup was alright, but my main course was left uneaten. 11 DOLLARS WASTED. don't waste your time here, ignore the positive reviews because that was my mistake...

These guys get the job done!
I am of chinese decent, I grew up on chinese food, and this is pretty much the only decent chinese take out in the area. I have ordered or eaten at pretty much ever chinese restaurant in a 1 mile radius of this place, and I have yet to find anything that tastes better. They're not the best I have hard (far from it), but they are the best in this area. I'm not going to name names, but there were a few places that were better, but lately they have all gone way way WAY down hill. SD's delivery time is pretty average, between 20-40 minutes for me. not too fast not too slow. I have never had a problem with them and they are very nice on the phone. A big place is that they pretty much understand ever word I say, which seems to be very hard to find these days. What more can you ask for when there is nothing else in the neighborhood?!
