    The owner is chill and totally chats and laughs for a new York minute.

    I know it's not the most beautiful upkept restaurant bit it's certainly a great ma and pop place. The food is made fresh on thee spot, all there dishes are great and not heavy, because i get an upset stomach when i eat at fast food restaurants, who still does that anyway. the kun pow here is my favorite. The owner will come and chill and have a conversation while our food is being prepared. Please come by and support these good ol folks. They deserve it This is still a good chineese restaurant.

    I have been looking for a good Chinese food restaurant and I FOUND IT Food was FABULOUS I had the shrimp fried rice, black chicken bean sauce, shrimp in oyster sauce, and noodles. Perfection!! Service: it's a family style restaurant so it's small but owner was really nice and attentive. Go try this place!

    Everything was good! Me and my family always order from here, customer service is great now!

    My absolute favorite other than my Mom's wonton soup.

    A small, hidden, modest gem, that deserves much attention! I have been ordering take out from this restaurant for the past couple of months and I have yet to be disappointed. Made to order. Fresh, well prepared Chinese food. From the wor wonton soup, to the fried rice, to the cream cheese wontons...everything has been so delicious and hit the spot on the dot! Service has always been friendly and efficient. Price point and portion sizes are perfect for a very hungry one or for two to happily share.

    Its kinda hidden in the plaza towards the back.

    Its bomb here. And not expensive. Its always fast and affordable. Id recommend the beef chop suey. And house special fried rice.

Taste of MP now allows ordering lunch special to-go too? New boss lady/manager is on top of things! Monday lunch after 1pmish, she offered to even give us tupperwares of soup since they said they'll be tossing after lunch is done. I feel soup is usually not allowed to-go even if there's leftovers from dining, and definitely not when ordering take-out. Soup and rice are usually dine-in benefits. So given soup to go was really nice! What we got this time 5/11/26 Monday 1pmish visit: (After Mother's day) -- #1. Pan fried string beans with lunches pork and pickled olives $12.99 #3. Eggplant and minced pork with garlic sauce $12.99 #18. Beef and Tomato $13.99. Maybe not for us next time. #23. Sauteed Chicken with Bay Leaves $13.99. We've visited several times. Old notes for self -- New Year Day, and certain holidays have no lunch special. The SO did like these dishes before too. #26 Sauteed squid with black bean sauce. #57 Preserved vegetables with pork intestine. Jellyfish cold appetizer is decent from here too.

And the price is extremely reasonable. The beef noodle soup is one of the best I've had around here. Really flavorful dark broth but not too salty or heavy on the soy sauce. Chewy thick noodles. Softened bok choy. The beef was a hit and miss, some pieces were tender and juicy and others was a bit on the drier side. Also their popcorn chicken literally felt like twice the size of any other place but at a cheaper price. It's everything you want a popcorn chicken to be. I like that you can customize the spiciness too. I am excited to return, and I hear a lot of their other items are fantastic too.

You could order take out by skipping the line and going straight inside. You order through a paper and the server will come and double check that it is everything you ordered. Inside was clean and they have a restroom in the back. I got the popcorn chicken, sesame noodles, and mango tea. Can never go wrong with a popcorn chicken. This was my first time trying their sesame noodles and it was delicious! It was nutty, chewy, and perfectly sauced up. I was even dipping the popcorn chicken in the sauce. The teas always come in HUGE cups. The mango tea is my favorite. I would say their tea is usually on the sweeter side. Safe to say this place never fails me.

I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.

    We come here for the low price wonton noodles, steamed spareribs on steamed rice, and the beef rice…read morenoodle rolls. We also order their HK style lemon iced tea. It's pretty good here and they have complimentary refills! They're known for their rice noodle rolls here and you can order them, along with their small dim sum menu, all day long. The wonton noodles here were just $13.98! They come with 5 large wontons and vegetables over wonton noodles. I always recommend adding chili oil. The steamed spareribs on steamed rice have some bones, just like the ones you find at dim sum. But there's a lot of meat in the steamed rice bowl for a single person. Free parking in rear parking lot. Entrance at the front on Garvey Ave. They have 2 entrances in front now. Left door for to-go orders and right door for dine-in.

The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived, there were only a few tables. It's a small restaurant. The owner (I think) and waiter were both very welcoming and friendly. They gave us complimentary cups of chicken vegetable broth. We decided to try some items that we regularly order at other restaurants and some new items. Chicken vegetable broth: 5/5 - I thought this was the best dish we had. Very umami broth. Beef burrito appetizer: 3/5 - This is more commonly called a beef roll at most other restaurants. It was okay, they don't fry the wrapping like some other restaurants. Braised pork rice: 3/5 - Good portion size and reasonably priced. The flavors are less Taiwanese and more Shanghai. Braised beef noodle:3/5 - Compared to other beef noodles soups we've had this was just okay. Braised intestine rice noodle: 3.5/5 - they were nice enough to make mine without peppers. I enjoy intestines and wanted to try this dish. The owner suggested I have it with vinegar which I tried and after eating maybe a quarter of the dish I felt nauseous from the vinegar. The vinegar does enhance the dish but at the same time you can only have so much of it without feeling queasy. I would rate this place 3.5 rounded up to 4. Food wise I thought this place was just okay. But I really enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and might come back again in the future to try new dishes.

I wasn't expecting much from it. However, I noticed I kept eating it hahha The lemon iced tea was a let down. Even though they offered refills, but there were white stuff flowing around. The staff didn't even have an explanation for it. He even mistakenly took it for some passion fruit drinks and said it was some sugar they used. Right when I told him it was lemon iced tea, he said let me change it out for you. He came back, but the drink still looked somewhat weird. I took a sip and toss the whole cup. Seating could be a bit dirty. Will return for the ribeye hehhe hopefully the quality will be the same or even better
