Leong's operator identifies its cashew chicken with Springfield's local food tradition and lists this West Republic Road branch. Its current linked pickup menu separates Dinner, Appetizers and Chef's Signature Fare; the selected meal uses those sections, alongside named vegetable noodles and roast duck options.
Build an order. Choose Cashew Chicken $16.79 from Dinner, Pot Stickers $13.65 from Appetizers and Veggie Tofu Stir Fry $18.89 from Chef's Signature Fare. The pot stickers are described as homemade pork dumplings that are steamed and pan-fried, with chili-soy dipping sauce; no title count or soup-dumpling identity is supplied. The tofu dish names tofu and mixed vegetables in sweet-and-savory sauce. Lo Mein (Vegetable) $15.25 is another named vegetable option. The Dim Sum Platter $20.99 is an assortment including egg roll, rangoon, ribs, pork and pot stickers rather than an individual headline dumpling portion.
Before you go. The operator lists Sunday 11:00 AM-5:00 PM, Monday-Thursday 11:00 AM-8:30 PM and Friday-Saturday 11:00 AM-9:30 PM. Its website offers separate pickup and delivery links; the selected pickup menu said no ASAP times were available today and asked for a time. No time was accepted and no order was submitted. Confirm service, charges and sauces by phone; the website's featured-menu advertising is not a substitute for these current pickup prices.

Corner 21's current operator site and linked MealKeyway menu agree on the East Republic Road suite A branch and phone. The full menu lists cumin lamb, Yang Zhou-style fried rice, Sichuan-named dishes, braised meats and vegetables. This is the current Republic Road branch, without borrowing a menu from an older Sunshine Street location.
Build an order. Choose 18.Cumin Lamb w.Cilantro $20.49, 42.Yang Zhou Style Fried Rice $15.99 and 49.Stir Fried Bok Choy $17.49. The menu also lists 68.Steam Pork Bun $16.00; neither that title nor the fetched item list identifies broth inside the bun, so it is not called a soup dumpling. Prefixes 18, 42, 49 and 68 are inventory codes. 1.Dry Fried Green Beans w.Minced Pork $15.99 and 32.Tofu w.Shrimp & Mushroom $20.49 explicitly name meat or seafood and are not used as meatless alternatives.
Before you go. The linked menu verifies Friday, October 9 pickup hours of 11:00 AM-9:00 PM and displayed pickup starting at 11:00 AM while currently closed. The operator website's Business Hour field says Comimg Soon; other days were not established. Confirm other days and bok-choy preparation by phone. The read ordering route offered pickup; no delivery partner or terms were verified.

Cashew Station's own website identifies Chinese food, a drive-thru and carryout format, and a Chef's Special & Korea House Favorites section. It says some dishes were adapted from the family's other restaurants. The selected meal combines the named scallion-chicken dish with ordinary dumplings and the vegetable choice under lo mein.
Build an order. Choose Hot Scallion Chicken $8.99 from Chef's Special & Korea House Favorites and Dumplings (8) $7.49 from Appetizers. Lo Mein $9.99 is specifically the listing under Chicken or Vegetables; choose Vegetables for the vegetable version and confirm the sauce. The same posted menu names Mandu (2) $4.99 separately, without treating that Korean-named item as a Chinese dumpling subtype. Dumplings (8) supplies eight in its own title but no soup-dumpling, har-gow or siu-mai identity.
Before you go. The operator lists Open Tuesday-Sunday, 11:00 AM-9:00 PM; Monday hours are not listed. It describes drive-thru and carryout with an outdoor picnic area, rather than a full indoor dining-room service. The menu explicitly says Prices subject to change. Call or visit for current pricing. The posted fixed prices have no issue date, and no checkout was verified. Ask about the vegetable choice and sauce before ordering.
Hot Scallion Chicken $8.99 · Lo Mein $9.99 · Dumplings (8) $7.49

The page gives no menu issue date and warns Prices subject to change. Call or visit for current pricing. No ordering-channel price was verified. Checked ; before tax, tip and fees. Prices can change, and delivery-app prices are often higher than the restaurant’s own.

Lucy's operator lists three separate branches; this meal uses Springfield's South Campbell address and its matching linked Genius menu. The read online menu lists chicken lo mein, chicken fried rice and egg drop soup. A separate posted menu names a vegetable choice under Lo Mein and ordinary pot stickers.
Build an order. The current linked online menu lists Chicken LoMein $11.50, ChickenFriedRice $11.00 and Egg Drop Soup $4.00. The literal joined spellings are retained from the ordering page. A separate operator-posted menu image names VEGETABLE under LO MEIN and POTSTICKER under SIDE ORDERS; those are vegetable and ordinary-dumpling evidence, not a claim that they appeared in this limited online view. No soup-dumpling or dim sum subtype was established, and sauces and soup ingredients still need confirmation.
Before you go. The operator website lists Monday-Saturday 11:00 AM-8:30 PM for Springfield; Sunday hours are not listed. The linked Genius page instead suggested Today at 10:30 AM for Pickup, earlier than the website opening. No complete weekly ordering schedule was established. Keep that suggested pickup time separate from business hours and call before an early pickup.
Operator-linked Genius online pickup ordering menu. Read 2026-10-09 at Lucy's Campbell with the matching address and Pickup displayed, before starting an order or accepting the suggested time. These exact item prices come from that online view; separate posted-menu sizes and combo prices are not substituted. Checked ; before tax, tip and fees. Prices can change, and delivery-app prices are often higher than the restaurant’s own.

Asian Hut's exact Sunshine Street operator menu distinguishes regular Chinese dishes, lunch and dinner combinations, and sushi sections. The selected chef listing describes Hunan Triple Crown with lobster, scallops, jumbo shrimp, squid and mixed vegetables in black bean sauce; the named tofu dish and ordinary dumplings complete the meal.
Build an order. Choose S10. Hunan Triple Crown $17.95+ with 109. Mixed Vegetables with Tofu $12.95+ and 6. Steamed Dumplings (8) $8.95. Preserve both plus markers as starting amounts; no modifier was selected. The Hunan chef dish describes lobster, scallops, jumbo shrimp, squid and mixed vegetables in black bean sauce. The Vegetarian Dishes section also contains Broccoli with Oyster Sauce, so the section heading alone does not certify a meatless sauce. The dumpling title states eight without a requested specialty subtype.
Before you go. The operator business and carryout schedules agree: Monday-Tuesday and Thursday 11:00 AM-10:00 PM, Wednesday closed, Friday-Saturday 11:00 AM-10:30 PM and Sunday 11:15 AM-10:00 PM. The website links its own Menufy ordering menu but does not publish a delivery service or terms on the pages read. Ask about the starting-price options, tofu sauce and any other delivery route; no checkout was submitted.
Operator Menufy regular online ordering menu. Read 2026-10-09 from regular CHEF'S SPECIAL, VEGETARIAN DISHES and APPETIZERS, with no item modifiers or fulfillment selected. Both $17.95+ and $12.95+ are starting amounts. Lunch/dinner combination listings and the separate sushi menu are not substituted. Checked ; before tax, tip and fees.

China King's selected operator Menufy site gives South National Avenue suite E and a phone distinct from the city's Republic Road China King. Its complete menu separates regular Moo Shu, Vegetarian Dishes and Appetizers from combinations and lunch. This meal uses the vegetable moo shu listing with tofu and steamed ordinary dumplings.
Build an order. Choose 62. Moo Shu Vegetables $13.99+, 107. Mixed Vegetables with Tofu $13.99+ and 6. Steamed Dumplings (8) $8.99. Both vegetable main-dish amounts are starting prices; choose options and confirm sauces. The Moo Shu section describes snow peas, eggs, shredded cabbage and mushroom with hoisin sauce and five wraps; that section statement is not a serving count appended to either item title. Broccoli with Oyster Sauce also appears under Vegetarian Dishes. The steamed dumpling title states eight but no specialty subtype.
Before you go. Business, carryout and delivery schedules match on the operator site: Monday closed, Tuesday-Thursday 10:30 AM-9:30 PM, Friday-Saturday 10:30 AM-10:00 PM and Sunday 11:00 AM-9:30 PM. Carryout and delivery are explicitly advertised. No delivery address, minimum, fee or fulfillment was tested. Use suite E at 4301 South National rather than the separate Republic Road branch, and confirm the starting-price options.

New China's own Chinese Menu Online site identifies the North Kansas Expressway suite 112 branch and publishes full pickup hours. Its complete regular menu has bilingual item titles and separates Chef's Specialties from combinations and lunch. The selected meal uses the explicitly described twice-cooked pork, steamed ordinary dumplings and vegetable lo mein.
Build an order. Choose S15. Twice Cooked Pork 回锅肉 $14.95, 10. Steamed Dumpling (8) 水饺 $8.95 and 27. Vegetable Lo Mein 菜捞面 $9.95. The pork description names double-cooked sliced pork with cabbage, bamboo shoot, black mushroom and green pepper in brown spicy sauce. The dumpling title states eight and uses 水饺 rather than a soup-dumpling, har-gow or siu-mai name. The Special Diet section also names D 4. Steamed Mixed Veg. 蒸蔬菜 $10.55 with sauce on the side. Ask about sauces and any preparation charges.
Before you go. The operator publishes pickup hours Monday-Thursday and Sunday 10:30 AM-9:30 PM, Friday-Saturday 10:30 AM-10:00 PM. The early-morning page showed Closed and opens at 10:30 AM; that is a current browse state rather than a closure claim.
