I absolutely LOVE getting my food and boba from here! You will definitely get more than you pay for at this restaurant! I have never encountered a bad team member since coming here for about five months. Sometimes the line can be long but it’s worth the wait! I always feel welcomed, food is GREAT, and the price is even better! Check my friends out! (Sorry the pic of my food isn’t so great)

Big plate filled to the brim for 14 bucks been going here for a long time since they opened and still love it here, flavors good value good everything good, wish more from them

Big huge portions of great food that's fresh and I usually get it from ordering door dash but still love it. It's worth it cheap!!!!

Purchased 3 trays of food @ $5.99 each thru TOO GOOD TO GO (APP let's you purchase end of day leftovers to avoid restaurant waste) and each container was filled to the brim. Each order had fried rice as the carb (the chow mein went quickly) plus some veggies (long green beans or mixed greens of cabbage, celery, etc) and a protein (I.e. batter fried fish, fried chicken wings or fried chicken nuggets)--see pics. Some earlier customers were lucky enough to get 3+ marinated boneless whole chicken thighs. WHAT TO EXPECT: Arrived exactly at 7:45 pm for beginning of TOO GOOD TO GO pickups and at least 10+ orders were already completed before I could even find street parking. Area may be on the Ghetto side but it's very busy. In other words, get there early to find nearby street parking and wait at the restaurant's indoor tables for best selection. Be courteous and wear your mask! The ladies behind the counter speak Cantonese with some simple English but they're nice and have an efficient TOO GOOD TO GO fulfillment assembly line. One person dished out the food into containers while the other behind the cash register verified TOO GOOD TO GO order #s, confirmed that patrons have tapped the APP for pickup and bagged the order with soy sauce, chili oil, plastic fork & napkins. (NOTE: Check that chili oil is sealed tight--mine leaked and spilled all over the bag.) Spoke a little Cantonese to the ladies and they gave me some upscale options like the fried fish and chicken wings instead of just the fried chicken nuggets. QUALITY & QUANTITY: Remember this is end of day leftovers so quality of food varies depending on when it was cooked. Don't expect fresh cooked to order takeout. Most of my containers were lukewarm so it's been sitting in the steam warmers for awhile but you can't deny the quantity. My 3 containers filled up a 6+ quart microwave container when I transferred them for reheating. Food was a bit salty but that's to be expected for restaurant takeout. REHEATING & CUSTOMIZING: Take a little time and thought for best result. Microwave the carbs with a little water to steam heat. To crisp the fried items, put them in an air fryer, toaster oven or hot oven to heat and restore crispness. To avoid overcooking the veggies, add them to the carbs at the end and only reheat for 1 min. To enhance your takeout, add your own custom touches like a sprinkle of green onions, a drizzle of sesame seed oil or Sriracha sauce, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, chopped peanuts or fried shallots, add a side of Kim Chee or even top with a sunny side egg and ENJOY! And if you have left overs, you can always add to some scrambled eggs the next morning for a great breakfast omelette.

This place is in the hood. But the food is plentiful and good! I will definitely come back for more but you gotta watch your back.

This is where I usually order delicious and affordable party trays for church meals and company meals. Can't beat the party tray prices.

Very delicious and affordable American style chinese food. I always get the 4 item box, every time it's packed full. For less than $15 you can easily get 3 full meals out of this option. Honestly almost 4 meals. They always have the options you want like noodles, fried rice, orange chicken, broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork... don't sleep on the sesame chicken either. The value here is pretty unbeatable in my eyes. Quality has been more than acceptable for what it is too. Service is always prompt and friendly even when busy, which it usually isn't too busy. Inside isn't much going on but there is seating. I always get food to go.

Everything you want in a fast Chinese take out place. Yummy food. Big quantity and inexpensive. My only complaint wish they put more char siu sauce on their bbq spare ribs but otherwise a very good restaurant.

You will not be disappointed with the portion sizes here. You definitely get your money's worth. It'd been a while since I'd had Chinese food and this place hit the spot. They have a ton of Chinese takeout staples and the food wasn't too greasy. Service was quick and the service ladies were nice. Would definitely stop by here again for take out

I'm really glad I tried this local place. I had the teriyaki grilled chicken, and the shrimp fried rice, and both were excellent. The chicken had more grilled color on it, and was less fatty than the Panda Express version. The portions were very generous. Probably the best fast-food chinese food I've had in a loooong time :)

Finding an excellent Chinese food place has always been very difficult for me out here , but not these guys you can tell the food is curated with passion and love. Everyone from the girl who attended to the cooks did an amazing job, thanks for feeding me and these big portions, so delicious. God bless

Decent food, very generous portions. Both quick serve as well as a-la cart options. Even if ordering ala cart, expect some pre-prepped cold items to be served straight from the display counters. Ambiance isn't much; better suited for a takeout.

The service is good and they give large portions. You get your money's worth, the downside is finding parking near the restaurant.

My boyfriend found a nice place to get some wonton soup for me cause I was sick. This was his first time coming here to get food. However the women working the front was super rude and had a nasty attitude towards him for no reason. We will not be coming back.
