"Other places in town are OK but I prefer Lychee over them all. The service and people are amazing. They deliver, which is always a blessing for days I don't want to drive out. The food comes fresh and hot! They do their best to honor requests or special requirements and not overcharge an add-on. Prices are comparable to others in the area. Need I say more? Every box is check on my list of what I'd consider good eats all around."

"I’ve never had unseasoned Chinese food until ordering here…
The General Tso chicken tasted like it was frozen from the grocery stores, it was soggy and mushy… why is the chicken soggy?
The vegetables in the rice were raw which was confusing and there was no pork in the pork fried rice
Just don’t go here.
Now I understand why The other Chinese spot is called “Best in Town” because this place sucks."
Julio Alvarez
"This tonight was absolutely the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had and I have had many many different places across the United States. I’m not sure how they are still in business. I should’ve taken the 40+ dollars and thrown it over the side of the hill. It was almost like a joke. It was so bad. I’ve never tasted food that was so mushy and tasted like someone ran hot water over all of it with absolutely no taste."
