  Tough review on this one.  Decor and atmosphere is one star.  Need to update just about everything, but it was closing time when I went in.  Maybe if the lighting was better I would have seen something different.
  
  As far as the food, I had the beef fried rice and won ton soup.  Rice was hot coming out of the kitchen and could have had more beef, but for the price it was right.  The wonton was not inspiring, but also very hot.  Food is three stars.
  
  Now the people.  I called 3 minutes before they closed and they took my $9 order and said they would stay open if I could get there quickly.  They could not have been more accommodating and pleasant.  Tired from a trip it was one of my only options being so close.  That is rare.
  
  Don't go expecting a culinary masterpiece, but it is typical Chinese "fast food".  If you stay at the Hampton Inn downtown then it is a 30 second walk.  Don't be afraid to take it.

  Perhaps I'm spoiled by my local Chinese restaurant. Staying across the way from this place thought I would give it a try.  Asked if they could make  Mongolian beef a  lilttle spicy.   She said no problem.  Got back to the room and opened the box... to my surprise it wasn't even Mongolian beef.  Wasn't impressed with the spicy beef dish so threw it out. Should have been called spicy vegetables with tiny slivers of beef.  Egg roll tasted like it was fried in old oil, and to top the cake the fortune cookie was inedible stale. (But that was not surprising as most are). Avoid this place, or at least check the box before you leave the restaurant.

  Food and service is very, very good/friendly.  I think it is the best in Louisville ... the atmosphere is no frills and plain but the food is fresh, tasty and the service is super attentive and pleasant.  My son and I love it.  We've had the buffet, dinner dine-in, and dinner take-out.  All very good food.

  I ordered delivery through postmates and I was overcharged, the food came in paper bags tied up together in a plastic bag, and the chicken wings tasted and smelled terrible. The only edible and somewhat tasty item was the eggroll.

  I ordered the #1 to be safe, lemon chicken, and it was good and reasonably priced at $5.25 with an egg roll and fried rice. I'll be back.
