This restaurant serves very nice cantonese food. Enjoy all the dishes which I ordered, especially the fried pork intestine (炸猪肠) which is highly recommended.. Do not know that this restaurant has a long history of more than 50 years in service. Will come again next time when visiting Mexicali. Cheers!
Their service is excellent and their food is delicious; highly recommended.

Excellent food, excellent service, 5 stars
Very rich and good prices
Traditional Chinese food, the real deal, the best in town, original ingredients, excellent price and even better taste.
Good food Excellent quality
It has an excellent mural on its exterior
A place steeped in history, located in the very heart of Mexicali, next to the Cathedral. The food is incredibly delicious, there's a wide variety of steamed dishes, and the prices are fair. I'll be back.
Yes I liked the food very good service
Very good!
A place with history, the food is good and the service is attentive and friendly. Definitely try the steamed fish with Forum sauce. While it's not a trendy or elegant place, it's still a good spot. There are hardly any people, which makes you feel comfortable.
The access in the surrounding area is in very poor condition, as is the furniture inside the place.
