I heard about this place and they call it Mike's. I was finally able to check them out and I have to say this is the one for some good Chinese food! They open at 6pm. I called ahead and my order was ready when I arrived. I had the shrimp fried rice and cheesecake egg rolls. They only accept cash so have your cash beforehand. I was in and out that's the best way to do it lol
