Ordered on Door dash and it was the best Asian cuisine at have had in years. I will order from here again! We had house fried rice, house chow menu, broccoli beef and appetizers for two. We always order staples the first time and then dive into other dishes if they are good. We will definitely be trying other dishes soon!

Sometimes the hole in the wall joints make THE best food; and sometimes, you kinda wish you hadn't stopped.
I am always in search of great Chinese food, and despite trying some of the same places over & over out of convenience, I still havent found what Im looking for.
Villa Fat was that off the beaten path discovery that I was totally excited about. We ordered take out, and crossed our fingers.
The inside was average, not much to write about. It was also devoid of people and good food smells. My number one rule is that with the exception of 5 star, white linen table cloth restaurants, most great food joints should smell like good food is happening all around. If you dont smell goodness, leave. Really. This is a proven theory that the food will taste like what you smell. I hate when I'm correct like this.
We ordered mongolian beef with light onions, chicken chow mein, and orange chicken. The to go boxes were sizable, and I had asked for chop sticks for four. They only gave us two sets go chop sticks, and two stale fortune cookies. The prices are around $10.00 per entree.
The thin plastic bag could barely hold the food, and I wondered why they hadn't used an additional bag. The chow mein was overflowing with noodles, and some chicken. The mongolian beef container was sparse, and while my pics look like some good eats were about to be enjoyed, the blandness was enhanced by the same blandness as the noodles. Look, when you have to add any sauce to a meal, all you're doing is covering up, or trying to make your food taste like something. Soy sauce shouldn't be given a star rating. We let the beef sit in hopes that it would soak up the juices, and taste like something good. Meh is all i can say.
Do you believe in miracles? Well, nows the time to start! The orange chicken was DELICIOUS! Don't ask, because I dont know how its even possible, but the orange chicken was tender, did not have that overly fried coating that was greasy. It had a light orange flavored sauce, that just balanced the light coating, and juicy chicken. I loved that they added two large slices of fresh orange, as well as, some chunks of orange. It was one of the best orange chicken dishes that I have had in a long time.
I might go back if im craving orange chicken, and if youre daring, you may want to give it a try. Maybe their other dishes are better. Maybe not.
My fortune in my cookie said that I would be making new discoveries that would bring me happiness. Even my cookie knew that this wasn't one of them. -

Everything is very good and they make everything fresh. Great service. We are becoming regulars here. The dinner family special is a great value.
