I ate at this place 4 times during the week I visited Charleston. They do NOT use MSG in their food. And the food is excellent! They were very accomodating of my vegan diet. I ordered the tofu w/vegetables and they used an entire box of tofu in the dish when I ordered the quart size. The sauce was great & lots of vegetables. I had ordered the food as take out 3 times and dined in once. They have a big sitting area in the back of the restaurant for dining in. The only con is it was warm in the restaurant with a fan for dining in. When I had take-out they delivered my order 100% correct as I had specified. The food tastes great! They will substitute, remove, add different veg/meat to suit your tastes! Very friendly customer service. The young man who takes orders at the front counter speaks good English and communication is smooth and easy. They also have very easily affordable prices. They offer the food in two quanitities: one pint (approx $5) and one quart (approx $7). They give generous portions of food in the order. They dont put your food in styrofoam containers, which are unhealthy for you. They put your food in plastic containers which done leak the sauce and the rice comes in the traditional paper containers. The restaurant is family owned and authentic Chinese cooking. For those of you staying in downtown Charleston, they have free delivery which is really convenient. I stayed outside of downtown so I had to park on the street, which was the only inconvenience but the food was worth the parking. After 6pm parking on the streets is free. If you go before then, a quarter gets your 20 minutes at the parking meter. Give this place a try and you wont regret it! I wish they had one of these restaurants in North Carolina.
Pros: NO MSG in food, big portions, vegetarian/vegan friendly
Cons: have to park on the street (free parking after 6pm), warm in the restaurant
