They have a drive through and have just opened back up for indoor dining. Their food is really good, the inside is very small and there is usually a wait. I would recommend ordering ahead.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Emporia, they are a local favorite. As of June 1, 2021, I’m not sure if they are open for dining in yet, but you can order and pick up to go. My favorite is the pork lo mien!
