My kids grabbed a Chinese food brochure for Mr. Cook's Chinese Cuisine from the door and insisted on takeout. Mr. C's is a small counter-service restaurant with limited seating. They have many lunch and dinner specials. We got a nice selection. Everything was pretty good and reasonably priced. The kids were happy!

By far the best Chinese place in the city, local owned, very fast, friendly service. Large portions for the price. It's a must stop if you enjoy Chinese food as much as I do. Their vegetable lo mein, delicious and spring rolls! Yum!

I usually order and the food is average, but they deliver but today I noticed they raise their prices again so I will probably never order from them again it’s good but not great and definitely not worth the price now we used to call fast cheap Chinese food now it’s over expensive Chinese food

If you’re looking for a good Chinese spot for a reasonable price, Mr Cooks is a great option. I got the Mongolian beef with a side of white rice. The beef was tender but the slivered onions tasted a bit sour but I could’ve gotten a funky batch but the rice was really good. Also got a complimentary egg roll on the side which tasted good! All in all a solid Chinese spot. On a side note, this is a mainly takeout spot with limited seating.

Not the place to eat in, but excellent quality food and great for pickup! Always get the order on time and correct.

My favorite Chinese takeout in the valley. I’ve been ordering here at least once or twice a month for years now and I never get tired of it. Have yet to try something on the menu I didn’t like, and the prices are pretty unbeatable.
