  I've been to many Chinese takeout places in Naples but this place located in the Strand Plaza is by far the best tasting that I've experienced.  The place isn't fancy at all inside and the decor is very basic but, what they lack in in appearance they definitely make up in the quality of their food.   There is plenty of parking in the plaza and they have vegetarian options.  
  
  I always order the Fried Chicken Wings or Lo Mein combination because they cook it really well!  The Chicken Wings are so crispy and flavorful while super tender inside.  The Lo Mein noodles have good texture and not to soft while having some nice crispy char from the high heat wok.  Super tasty and not overly salty.  They serve fried rice with the combination dinners and like the Lo Mein, the rice isn't mushy and has good texture and some charred ends.  The rice is seasoned perfectly with a nice rich color and not bland compared to other places in town that make the fried rice bland and tasteless.  
  
  The service was good and they have very affordable lunch combination for less than $6.00.  I definitely recommend this place for its good food at affordable prices and great taste.

  It's a no go from me. The rice was 100% left overs from Saturday night. I literally saw her take it out of a container and reheat it on the wok, what a bummer! For "fried rice" it only contained egg and rice. No veggies at all - that was very odd. The orange chicken tasted really weird, the sauce was super thick and tasted extremely sour.
  
  Let's not talk about the egg roll that smelled really really bad. It was full of veggies which is okay. I love veggies. I'm pretty sure the egg roll was no longer good and should've been tossed instead.
  
  This place isn't fancy so I wasn't expecting amazing quality food. But common... when you think Chinese your mouth instantly waters. This place was a huge disappointment.

  This was the best general tso I've had in 15 years. The chicken and rice were perfectly cooked. Flavor was fantastic.

  Ordered this food for the first time tonight. I had hot and sour soup. Very unusual. Sweet and strange ingredients. Not typical. The Mongolian beef was inedible. Gritty and the meat what little there was( idk maybe that was a good thing) so though the dog didn't even like it. I ordered the pork fried rice which may as well been just rice. There wasn't much pork in it. Great egg rolls and pan fried dumplings. Over all I won't order again.  Not worth it.

  We ordered takeout from here. Very little food for what you pay. We ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken and Beef and Broccoli. The rice was tasteless. The beef from Beef and Broccoli was the worst quality meat I've ever tasted. I live so near to this restaurant but will never order from here again.
