I think most of these reviews are old. I love this place. It's quiet with great food. If you eat in, your meat and vegetables are served separately with your rice. So you know what and how much meat and vegetables you are actually getting. They aren't hiding in a plate of rice. This is my go to Chinese restaurant. Try it. You won't be disappointed in the food.

First time dining inside. Lady that runs the place, is very nice. Homemade wonton soup was very good, as was the homemade egg roll. I like that they give you a squeeze bottle of hot mustard and duck sauce for the table. Ice tea was delicious. Lady told us the fried dumplings (pork) were homemade, and a favorite for the guests. Our General's chicken and Szechuan beef were good. Not great, but good.

($1.25) It was a little on the small side, but it tasted pretty good. While I was waiting on my order, the lady at the cash register asked me if I lived in Galax. She was very friendly, and invited me back in the future to try the buffet.

I love this place, the food, and the owners. No frills, old school Chinese restaurant with great flavors. Service is wonderful. I hear it's been around for 30 years and I'm not surprised if this is true. We come here every time we're in Galax. My faves are the crispy beef, pork fried rice, and Hong Kong chicken.

Very clean place! Ordered the garlic chicken and it exceeded my expectations. Service is fast and friendly.

Do not go here and waste your money. Went to get dinner for our family and ordered multiple items. We couldn't tell the difference between the orange chicken and general tso', except that they were both gross. The Broccoli and beef was rubbery and the mu shu gai pan was blan and the chicken if you can call it that, was very disappointing. the lomain tasted like grease, the "fried rice" looked like white rice was tossed in a pan with no add ins or flavor. Despite the externally small portions the nine of us didn't finish any of the items. We took one bite of the sushi and tossed the rest. A waste of $100.

This place is an old-school gem that I often stop at when in Galax, Va. I don't know the history except it's been around a few years, is family owned, and we often have the same server at night. Inside you will find a time capsule. The food is always good and fresh, and they clearly care. Places like this are going out of business for many reasons, so enjoy it while you can. It's not PF Changs. It's Asian-Americana and I am glad I tried it, and I am glad it's in Galax. Also wanted to add that they have good mixed drinks!

This restaurant is one of those that I didn't really know about until I searched online for Chinese food near me. I decided to try something new and went with my mother. The outside is decorated nicely with eye-catching lights with parallel parking in front of it. The interior is very attractive with many decorations and well presented seating. The tables and dishes are clean and the staff are very well-mannered and polite. As for the food, I'm not at all disappointed. It's delicious. The dumplings are divine with the duck sauce, by the way. The soup is homemade, I can tell. The Peking chicken is amazing and the waitress stayed on top of our drinks and made sure everything was well at perfectly timed intervals. This is a gem of a restaurant and I will certainly be visiting again!

We love the Canton. During college I went to one in Radford which is their uncle's. Same great Chinese food and for a unusual twist an awesome cheeseburger too. Service is top shelf.

WORST MEAL EVER ! WORST SERVICE EVER! Read my comments BELOW...
I have been here several times and the food was OK most times, this time it was a disaster! My dinner companion ordered general chos chicken and started eating and found the spoon that was sitting in the dish was covered in MAYONAISE! Informed the owner she made excuses that someone was making a sandwich in the back and must have put it down on the plate... What? Then my order comes.... I ordered sweet and sour chicken as I usually do, she serves me general chos chicken style with sweet sour sauce... What? She said it comes this way.. Excuse me I have eaten here on numerous occasions and it never ever liked like this as a matter of fact if you ever order sweet and sour chicken you know what is is supposed to look like.. Not like the chicken with general chos... We paid or bill of 24.00 and since all the owner did was make excuses and my companion was sickened by the mayo in his meal and the owner never opologized or did anything to correct our issues only trying to lie and make excuses... We will Never ever eat there again.. We use to go at least two times a month and spend a nice chunk of change.. My advise... Go somewhere else.. PeriodHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
