Service was wonderful! Speedy service and authentic Chinese food! Highly recommend

I came in for an early lunch and the food was so fresh and delicious. I noticed I was only charged $.35 for a credit card use so that’s a plus. A price of an orange chicken bowl with chow mein was under $10. It got me really full, so I’m really satisfied. If you’re craving Chinese American food, you won’t be let down here.

The Best shrimp Fried rice. I must say it’s not the traditional way it’s made but I still like it. It doesn’t have the oil. It’s a healthier version of shrimp fried rice, nice size shrimp has the green onions. It had egg in it if you want healthy shrimp, fried rice, this is the way to go. It’s very tasty.

Very friendly place. Parking shouldn't be too mich of an issue. Food was great. The orange chicken had that lovely crispness we all love. Rice had a good taste and the noodle was fresh.

Chicken strips and shrimps was taste. I want to try a few other dishes there. Can't wait! This might end up being my new Chinese food spot!

One of the most delicious restaurant I've found for the price in LA.. I've eaten here so many times over the years.. never been disappointed. The Chinese food side and the Fried chicken is amazing. I don't know how anyone could dislike this place, I do delivery so I don't know how the service is in store.. but they always listen to my every request during delivery and that means a lot to me! Again, I don't care what anyone says, if you don't go here because of some shady reviews.. at least once .. that's sad. I'd just avoid the curry chicken, because it doesn't really go well with the asian flavor vibes I think.. and also the chicken while delicious may not be as crispy if you do delivery, due to ventilation issues with the bag.. but that's to be expected. I've been eating here for years and will continue to do so.. thank you!

Hands down one of the most cost effective places in the V.. officially tried everything and they don't dissapoint. Bang for your buck withth out compromising for flavor. Definitely a go to for many locals and the plates are always stuffed. Must try if you live in venice.

I was driving by and decided to get something for lunch before my 2 jour drive. I ordered the 2 item combo, half fried rice and noodles with beef and broccoli and chop suey with shrimp (cabbage, vegetables and shrimp) this caught my eye because the shrimp were large 16 count shrimp almost prawn size. The food was tasty and generous portions. The dining area is small but clean. While I was there, several people ordered food to go. I can definitely see why. I will definitely return.

Very friendly and fast service! Food fresh! They give you lots of rice and veggies but not so much chicken. Paid $8.97. I ate one other equivalent sized piece that would be missing from the photo. Received one small teriyaki sauce to go with it that wasn’t enough so I asked for another. No fortune cookie. :(

I carried out because it was so beautiful out, but the food was ready fast. Other than the non-fried rice, it was good. Like the portion size. I’ll just get double chow mein next time.

This place never disappoints! You get the most bang for your buck, and the staff is always very friendly. The only negative thing I have to say is more of a personal preference. I'm not a huge fan of their fried rice. It's prepared differently than other places I've tried. I usually stick to double chow mein, and I leave happy every time.

I ordered a bowl of Lo Mein with Shrimp and Cabbage. The way my bowl was full of noodles but only 3 shrimp made it into the bowl as the Shrimp and Cabbage was served over rice for $9.29. As a home chef, I often feel robbed so I don’t usually eat out but $9.29 plus tax for a bowl with exactly 3 shrimp and full of noodles, I doubt I’ll order a bowl there again. The cabbage was good, still crunchy and not over done. The 3 shrimp were cooked perfectly. The Lo Mein was your standard and tasted decent. I may try the chicken next time because they have Louisiana Fried Chicken as well. I bought 10pc Shrimp and Fries and they were executed perfectly.

So glad I found this cute spot but I was hoping for more (quality)— all I will say is that after the first two pieces of hair I found I was like OK imma chill it’s not that big of a deal but the third one I was like OK I have to write a review about this. I was going to give them a call and not do this, but maybe this will inspire change.

All stars giving is for the over priced slightly dry but tasty chicken wings. The shrimp fried rice was not at all what I typically expect of the dish. There was no egg, I could taste what seemed to be brown rice not fried rice. It was a big pile of brown rice garnished with vegetables and seven pieces of shrimp on top. Maybe the stuff on the line is good. From what I could see they give pretty big servings but I couldn’t tell you if it’s any good. Will not be returning.

Styrofoam containers keep getting smaller & smaller! Then they “pack” it full so it makes you think you’re getting a good portion. They purposely haphazardly throw rice or chow mein (whatever you pick) in so that you get less of your “entree”, there is always noodles or rice underneath! Anything to cut costs & maximize profits smh

Ordered online I came at the designated time. Saying my order was ready and when I show up they told me it was never received. Until they called someone THEN THEY SAID THEY RECEIVED IT. ON MY BREAK 30 MINS BREAK TOO FROM WORK. ITS BEEN 45+ PLUS MINS WAITING HERE. WORST EXPERIENCE JUST ORDER IN PERSON if you want your food right away. Don't order through the online system. They did apologize for the inconvenience though and gave some extra egg rolls but still. I'm late back to work. Unhappy customer, I don't know if I'll be coming back.
