    General Gaus Chicken; Best I have ever had !
    I frequent this place about once every few weeks for a quick lunch and have not been dissapointed with the food . Honestly I can't comment on much of the menu because I always order the same thing because it's so good, General Gau's chicken lunch special. It comes with a generous serving of pork fried rice and your choice of side. I get the fried shrimp side . The chicken is cooked perfectly, not all dried out as I find at other places and comes with lots of sauce.
    The place is really a take out restaurant with tables, so don't be expecting any fancy service. You order at the counter and they will bring food to your table , but it will be in a styrofoam container. You get your own plastic utensils at the counter.
    Oh yeah, and they serve free tea at the counter, that's pretty good too.
    I have never waited longer than 5 min for my meal.
    I don't think the girl at the counter sees many tips. I usually leave her a dollar or two and she looks stunned.
    Prices are very reasonable.
    Anyway I think the place is worth a try, and give the girl at the counter at least a modest tip, in this economy I like to recommend generosity with your servers.

    Their prieces have gone up and the quality of their food has gone drastically down. The last time we ordered crab rangoons there was less than a half a teaspoon I'll filling in them. And the person that delivered my food overcharged Me by $10

    I've lived in Winchendon for about 17 years. I became a Lucky Dragon fan long before this place changed hands. Now with Lucky Dragon closed, I thought I'd try this place. It's Ok, I only tried a few things. It is like fast food Chinese, I knew that as soon as I walked in and saw the pictures on the wall. Prices are a bit high, portions are ample. My pet peeve...pork fried rice was better than some, but not nearly as good as Lucky Dragon was. I would go back.

    Rude Staff
    Food is not the best at all but not too many offerings in town near central street
    Why would anyone go back?

    The only reason this place is getting 2 stars is because the staff was friendly.
    We ordered crab rangoons, chicken fingers, and General Tso's chicken.
    The chicken fingers had no flavor, the crab rangoons barely had any crab in them let alone cream cheese (it was pretty much just all fried shell), and the Tso's chicken was crunchy and bland. It's worth it to note that they do have a "white rice plate" section with Tso's but if you order the "Chef's Special" chicken it comes with no friend rice. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
    To add insult to injury the bill was a little over $30 for these three items.  
    Never again. Well, unless I'm drunk than once again with horrible regret later.
