THIS PLACE IS AWESOME. The food is good and the service amazing. I have been going to this place for the past 17 years and every time I go the food never fails to please me. The walnut prawn is superb as well as the chicken salad. My personal favorite is the broccoli chicken, mongolian beef, and oh my the beef noodle soup. Just by writing this review my stomach is churning and my mouth watering. AND THE PRICE IS AMAZING. I mean come on, the price is fair and CHEAP for a very GOOD Chinese Restaurant. The service is amazing as I can perceive the waitress trying to check on us frequently. Never have I had to call for the waiter because she somehow always knew what I needed. HONESTLY THIS IS A MUST TRY FOR ALL FOOD LOVERS!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah I noticed on google they listed their operation hours as from 11 AM to 5:30 PM, that is a MISTAKE they actually open to 9:30 PM. SO PLEASE EVERY ONE SERIOUSLY GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. GREAT FOOD PERIOD.

One of the best Chinese food in the area. You are not just another customer here. The attendant is very kind and enjoys talking with you. The Singapore noodles is outstanding and the dishes are all Cantonese authentic!

I have been going here on and off for years. In all that time I haven't found a Chinese restaurant with any better food. Their lunch is well priced and includes a flower soup that is second to none that is provided with a unique fried won-ton. One of the things I measure a Chinese restaurant by is the rice. Both the fried rice and steamed rice are perfectly cooked every time. The service is unbelievably quick for quality food. Some of the other comments made here were obviously made by people who don't know what Chinese food should taste like or must be being paid by other less quality restaurants. Even the décor inside the restaurant is beautiful with orchids on almost all of the tables. Best in the valley by a long shot.

So friendly and very good food. We especially like the Mapo Tofu, but often like to try different dishes! We are never disappointed and the good is always hot and given within 10 minutes.

I've been going to this restaurant for over 25 years! The food is consistently great. Never greasy, always fresh and always served quickly. Portions are generous. The staff is very efficient and you're guaranteed to be highly satisfied with your meal!

It's not high end Chinese food, but there are times you crave that basic American Chinese food, and this is exactly that. The staff is very nice, my wife and I have been going here for a while. I was scared it was going to go away when the other building had problems, we were very happy to see it resurrected across the street from the old location.

Some of the best, if not the best, spicy beef noodle soup I’ve ever had. Beats out similar soups that I have eaten in Taiwan! Also good egg rolls and other foods. But would highly recommend the beef noodle soup.

This is the place that used to be on the triangle corner right across the street before it burned down years ago. I've been coming here for some time now and the quality has always been great! Try the Hong Kong style chow mein, they make an excellent version! If in doubt about the menu, just ask about their specialty dishes.

Even though this is just a tiny place and you can’t eat-in of course because of COVID, this place has big portions and is very good for Chinese food. Great prices too.

Lemon chicken was dry, fried rice good. Prices increased. All in all, no longer my favorite spot

Good food, awful service. They were impolite. I saw them loudly arguing with one another, which doesn't make for perfect atmosphere

Just OK in taste, quantity, and quality. Not bad, just not good. I can get same or better quality, much more quantity for same or less money a mile away. Friendly people and decent food, just no other incentive to get me there on a regular basis with many better choices in the area.

We ordered Chicken fried rice and orange chicken and beef and broccoli. Everything was bland, tasteless and very pricey. The worst Chinese takeaway ever!!

This is the worst Chinese food I've ever had and that's bad when you live in (basically) the Chinese Capital of the country. The chicken chow mein was absolutely flavorless, just a mushy mess. The chicken didn't have a chicken texture and was also flavorless. The garlic sauteed prawns were gooey and beyond spicy, which the menu didn't say anything regarding it being extremely hot. So, I just wasted over $30 on DoorDash ordering from this place because I won't eat the chow mein and I CAN'T eat the prawns, which I was REALLY looking forward to. VERY disappointed customer! 🥵🤢🤮

I see other people like this place but this is some of the worst Chinese Food I have ever had. Dry and stodgy and not very tasty. The quantity was good/plenty but I will be throwing this out. Food of very quality poor.

Make sure you pay attention to the check because they will write everything in chinese that way you can't understand it to double charge you for the order. I had to ask them to write it in English to understand it and I found out they were trying to overcharge me $25 by "mistake?.
