  Having grown up in NY metropolitan area, the area with the best Chinese food in the US, I am always looking for a take out Chinese restaurant with a few basic principles that emulate the food I grew up with ( NY Hong Kong style, meaning freshest ingredients, with all lean fresh meats and shellfish, no gristle or fatty edges ever and well spiced carefully prepared sauces and above all not greasy especially even those things that are deep fried, still minimally greasy).
  In 30 years I have rarely found a restaurant in Florida that lives up to those requirements.  One was a place called Palace of the Orient which was nearly in Treasure Island (Closed now unfortunately) and then more  recently I  discovered this place and was blown away at how good the food was for a Crappy little takeout and staff that often reflected the NY attitude (which is undesirable, but you can get over it if the food is this good).  It was only a coincidence I found this all the way in Brandon, the opposite end of town.  I've been their patron for 3+ years now and have had a hit/miss experience where the food was not all those things I described once maybe twice... I'll allow them 3 times of failing to hit the mark and sincerely hope that this remains the rare exception to the rule.  So for now they still get the 5 stars.  This is obviously a competitive business and meeting my requirements is expensive.  Even though I would pay more for what I am looking for, not everyone feels that way and undoubtedly they face financial pressures, but as long as they don't cut corners they are still worthy of the benefit of the doubt .  Bring these people your business you won't regret it if you have any taste and any intellect.  If it misses the mark I'm sorry, but I believe in them enough to write this endless review and hope they will continue to succeed so that I can continue to enjoy their food even though I am way across town.  
  
  Make note that the reviews are all either 5 or 1...  nothing mediocre... think about what that means...

  Terrible service. Gross inside. Food was decent, which is the only reason their getting 2 stars, otherwise would be 1 for sure.
  
  Tried the honey chicken with white rice, it was good but nothing special. Cheese wontons were also ok but definitely not the best I've had or even close.
  
  I have no desire to come back here.

  The food was about as bland as the personality...its as if they didn't want me in there. I smiled said hello and they just looked at me. I should have read the reviews. No worries I won't be back.

  The service is horrible. Once i walked in said hello no answer back she took my order all quiet and serious like she didn't want me there. I even said thank you after cashing out and the lady just turned around quick and i can hear her say something "slick" to the cook that I couldn't understand but made it very obvious. Never buying food here again

  While I appreciate that they are available on Uber eats, the food has zero taste, and lacks any freshness.
