"Lion city is the best for takeout."

"The Tan family at lion city have the best hot and sour soup this side of the Pacific, hands down. Everything else is delicious too."

"While I love Nine East...I have to throw my vote for Lion City. Anthony is correct. The Tan family has been serving very consistent & high quality food for years. I would always get quarts of the Won Ton and Hot and Sour soups when I would start getting a cold. Their stuff is medicinal I tell you."

"Moon Star!!! Moon Star!!!...Moon Star!!!!"

"As far as takeout goes, Gourmet Wok is the freshest and healthiest! They used to offer brown rice instead of white, I wish they would do this again..."

"Yooki yama has exceptionally good food at a great price."
