Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

I wanted Chinese on a Sunday because I was too lazy to cook. Sadly Fu Leen’s Palace is closed on Sunday. So, I tried the next option with the most reviews. I’ll start by saying that I’m from NYC, so I’m picky when it comes to Chinese food. The general tso’s wasn’t too bad. The fried rice didn’t have much flavor. But I specifically asked for the fried wontons NOT to be fried too hard and well, they fried them too darn hard. They were very small too and they were skimpy with the sweet and sour sauce as well. The driver came to my house and was a little disoriented and not what I expected for a delivery driver. I was confused at first. I had to keep asking why he was at my door via the camera because the food wasn’t visible. He didn’t know my total and told me he had to go back to his car for it and didn’t want to. He kept leaning over and deep sighing. Then kept asking for a tip. It was a weird experience. I’ll still to Fu Leen!

No gloves or hairnets are used by the employees. They go from touching the phone and computer to touching the chicken and other food items with their bare hands. Maybe I'm just dramatic but I couldn't even bring myself to eat the food after seeing how it was handled. You dont know if they wash their hand after using the bathroom or pick their noses etc. As cheap as it is I'm not really sure it's worth the possible contamination risk. If that doesn't bother you, good on you I'm kinda picky so I can't. Thank you.

I ordered through Uber Eats so I don’t have feedback on the physical restaurant. I love Chinese food, especially wonton but the wonton from this restaurant is an off color, taste and the noodles are chewy. Also I ordered chicken lomein and I am still not sure what kind of meat was actually in my meal. I order Chinese often and haven’t gotten any like this before. Even the egg roll wasn’t that good. Not happy with it at all. I would not recommend this establishment.
