Chef is amazing at cooking Cantonese Dishes and keeps his prices low for customers. No MSG. Makes special dishes too at request. Hole in the wall spot; though someone please give him a renovation!

Ordered Peking Duck and Snow Pea leaves for take out. The Peking duck is super flavorful and comes with mini steamed buns. It was also presented well for take out. The whole family really enjoyed both dishes. We will be back when we come to town again.

You know how I know this place is good? When you go in and nobody in the restaurant is speaking English. They offer really good, authentic Chinese cuisine in a no frills environment. Do not come here if your idea of Chinese food is chicken named after a General. Do come here if you want a more genuine experience, and perhaps to try something new. Enjoy!

Best Chinese Food is Southbay hands down. Prices are very reasonable and food healthy and tasty. The chef/owner does an amazing job of providing quality food at such a reasonable price. I sort of don't want people to know this place so I don't have to wait (it's that good). Wonton Noodle soup is sublime. This isn't some hole in the wall fast food chinese restaurant. The owner cares about the quality of his food.

A small quiet restaurant. I like the portion and the taste of all my orders. A party of two can try three to four dishes. Nice for small family dining as well

Excellent bbq duck and pork (charshiu). Our family sometimes just ordered half a duck and a plate of bbq pork, steam rice. Yummy.

Best authentic BBQ duck in California. So fortunate to have them right in our neighborhood.

This place is one of my family's favorites and, in my opinion, a hidden gem in the South Bay for authentic Cantonese food. The chef is an older gentleman who miraculously cooks by himself for the entire restaurant. The eggplant stirfry, beef with green onions, and hot and sour soup are some of my favorites.

This is a local Cantonese yum cha type of restaurant. I just tried the ma po tofu and it was quite good. I should have asked them to make it using ma la spices to make it authentic. Will try other dishes soon. Lunch special prices are reasonable. Normal dishes are +$16 per entree. There is plenty of parking. In this strip mall. This appears to be a small Asian cuisine operation which we should support these days of bland chain restaurants.

The worker is so kind and has a good energy. The duck was good and I would like to go back.

Tiny mom and pop Chinese cafe in Rolling Hills Plaza, just around the corner from Trader Joe's. Great home-cooked taste. We especially enjoyed the mapo tofu and duck. The walnut shrimp and garlic eggplant were also quite tasty. The portions are generous enough that we were able to take home enough for another couple of meals. We will be back to sample other dishes!

Food was just ok. Service was not very friendly. Lunch menu says it comes with soup, but no soup came. When I asked if soup was coming I was told “no soup.” “Well, the menu says the lunch special comes with soup.” “I know,” the waiter said.

The food here is not bad but not great. I did enjoy one of the beef dishes (maybe the beef with pepper, not sure), but in general, the portion sizes are very small for the price. The service was not great but fine: the woman at the front counter was on her phone most of the time and didn't seem to be helping out much.

Paying $15 for Full box of steam rice, Feel stupid to order this, total 7 pieces of "finger meat" mostly is bone, even chicken wing they cut in 3 pieces, the total meat is less than 3 chicken nuggets, I DO NOT recommend to anyone who has brain.

Maybe the food is good here but I never got to try it. They really need to update their hours. I’ve tried coming here 3 times now and they never seat me despite getting there 1-2 hours before the posted hours. It’s become a real inconvenience. If you can’t seat someone two hours before your closing time something’s wrong. Maybe one day I’ll get to try the food to update this review but for now I’m annoyed.

This place is DIRTY, the soup was like gelatin and the honey shrimp... not sure what it was cooked with. Wish I could post the pictures

I've had delicious food there, but the service was extremely poor on both occasions.

First of all we finally tried this Chinese food there to go & were very disappointed. I don’t understand why you would make sesame chicken skinny like McDonald’s French fry’s & have the chicken battered & deep fried making the chicken tough & hard to chew also the shrimp in lobster sauce only had 9 shrimp per order. I have never had Chinese food & not had leftovers, but this place the portions were so small this place must be hurting to do this & sell there chicken like shoe strings onions. Needed to give a warning to other first time customers. 👎
