I have been eating this Chinese food for over 25 years now. I could honestly say I was only disappointed once and that was when I pulled up on a Monday only to realize they were closed. That was the only time I love this place I turned my husband onto this place and he in returned turned me on to their shrimp egg foo young. I always order the chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli and 2 egg rolls, now back in the day the egg rolls were huge, they since then have gotten smaller but still the best. He now stay wanting their shrimp foo young extra shrimp, orange chicken and egg rolls. The service is always great has always been the same man for the last 20 years at the window. He's friendly quick and always polite. There is no need for ambiance when it's a to go place, they have their lunch menu on one wall and their all day menu right in front of you. They have a ball machine and some candy dispenser for the kiddos. You really don't need to much Will always stay returning to this place. Moved away and I still return not as much as in use to but when I was done real good made to order Chinese food this is my go to place. I have tried the rest and this is the best. The one down side is they are a cash only business, and I guess if it's not broken then don't fix it. read more

Pretty good Chinese food with solid prices, and the chow mein and fried rice were my personal favorites from this spot. Overall, I'd recommend it if you're in the area and craving some Chinese cuisine. read more

Oh my goodness I've been going here for 15 years, they food used to be so good now they slacking on a Pimpin. I guess economy is hard on them because they food it taste nasty. The rice is dry no flavor. Some people might still like it, but I don't I used to. But everybody taste buds are different. The guys that work there the owner he is so nice and so sweet always pleasant. read more

I don't know but this place was not good at all. Between my beef Mongolian plate and my Sister combo special, they were terrible. The egg rolls tasted like the oil was ransit. That was my fist and last time eating here. They were nice and friendly but the food was below par. The food has a sour smell. read more

Been eating here some years now... Food is off the chain. SBC rice and Chinese xpress Are my favorites. Very nice people with absolute great service. Always nice to me. Food is cooked to order... You watch them cook it, therefore, it's always fresh and hot. Love this place!!!!!! read more

Bomb just bomb egg noodles thin cant go wrong..shes super nice when i place my order over the phone my plate is ready within 10mins

Excellent service. Food is always fresh. Best egg rolls in town!!! Been going here for about 8 years now and they never disappoint. SBC rice is the best! Restaurant quality, but Take out only. Area is a lil sketchy so I always get in and get out. Will patronize as along as they're open read more

Staff is wonderful. Food is cooked per order very tasty highly recommend it. Highly recommend it

Super small hole in the wall but in my opinion, the type you should visit at least once and see what the fuss is about. It's hard to find but it between a Subway and Popeyes. Sketchy neighborhood but not enough to scare anyone thankfully. They prepare your food once you order it and you can see yourself how they prepare it. Honestly fresh and delicious and it's definitely a place I would consider coming often. read more

This is the quintessential hood chinese food you could ever ask for. Their shrimp fried rice will leaving you longing for more. They have the best prices in town considering you can get the best shrimp fried rice in South LA for under 7 bucs. Make sure you order ahead of time waiting for food in the hood is really annoying. Chinese express combo is my second go to! Can't go wrong with anything here pairs well with the popeyes next door. Thank me later. read more

This place is pretty good. And yeah, it's definitely in the hood (nestled between Subway and Popeye's Chicken). I've been coming here for years, but all I ever get is the Shrimp Fried Rice and egg rolls (which is why I'm only giving them 3 stars). If you like the NYC hole in the wall Chinese takeout restaurants...this is your spot. The food is made to order, unlike those "Combo A, B, C " Chinese spots, and very reasonable. The fried rice is some of the best you'll find in town (as far as fast food) and these people are very generous with the shrimp...every bite is a shrimp (and they're large). You can't leave here without trying the egg rolls (they're not on the menu), but they're huge, tasty, and cheap (but not amazing, lol). Yes, it's in Watts, and yes you'll come across people begging for .50 cents every now and then. But this is a good spot if you're in the area. *Lol, and it doesn't surprise me that I'm the first to review this place after all the years they've been in business. But hey, I'm a leader...maybe next time I'll take pics!! read more

Been coming here since I was 10yrs old. The Kung Pao chicken is the absolute best. Have not tried one better. I get it extra spicy and throw over steamed white rice. read more

One of my favorite places in Watts to get combination fried rice!! Super fresh and not stingy with the shrimp love it

When I'm in LA, I love stopping by here for some quick Chinese food. They close at 7:30 tho. So make sure to get here before then. Their portions are always gracious and the man is always friendly. If you're in the area get the SBC special it's on point! read more

I have not been here in quite some time but quite honestly good food great customer service well recommended

Don't come here!!!! I used to LOVE this place but I bought some food yesterday and they changed all their ingredients. The food lacked flavor, the changed the meats, it was watered down, the broccoli was too mushy and I also bought two egg rolls which I used to love eating in the past. So these egg rolls were smaller and they were expired!!! Without even tasting it yet, there was already a funky smell to it. I thought I was being paranoid but I bit into it and it tastes just as bad. The egg rolls was the first thing I ate before I ate the Chinese food so that for me was already a bad sign. The egg rolls were expired, the food lacked flavor, it was too watery, they changed their ingredients and their protein and they raised up their prices for cheaper quality... its not the same as before. I won't be coming here anymore. read more

The reason for the 3 star is because I must say in all my decades of eating Chinese food I've honestly never seen nor had orange chicken like CE served. It was dry way over battered and the taste was indescribable-like a mixture of ginger and red dye. On the flip side the rice was yummy-I get mine w/no eggs n extra green onions-extra shrimp (about $2 bucks-not a few cents) as stated by another reviewer. The broccoli n beef had good flavor. I tried this place because I was near by and read the yelp reviews. Would I eat here again-probably not. read more

If I can give this place 20 fkn stars I would. Ima hood female and I love good ass food. This place if fire as fuccccccck omg yessss I love it. Egg rolls bomb as heckkk. I can jus get 2. Special rice good too‼ If u want fresh good food but don't mind being in the hood pull tf up. I wish they were open today. I would definitely go. Closed on Mondays read more

Very amazing taste. Takes a while but because everything is fresh. The egg rolls are huge they are to die for.

I liked the fact they make your food on the spot when ordered, also the prices were reasonable. I didn't even mind having to stand around in the inside while it kept filling up with costumers. However I was not too impressed with the taste of the food. I ordered shrimp fried rice and the orange chicken lunch special. It wasn't any different from any other Chinese food places I frequent. I was happy I was in the area and didn't drive out of my way. It was not nasty at all, but it nothing stood out about besides the orange peel I found in my orange chicken. It wasn't anything special and won't be my first choice for Chinese food. read more

Today was my first time here I heard so many good things about this place. I ordered the combination fried rice & it came up to $7. Not bad the food was pretty good but not as good as I thought it be. id come back again though wasn't bad or anything it was a bit too salty for my taste that's all. & it was a lot of food so that's always good read more

Been coming to this spot since I was a kid. Everything is pretty good, but I most of the time get the Shrimp Fried Rice with Extra Shrimp for few cents more. It's very good and they hook it up with the shrimp. This spot is in the hood in Watts, but it's not dangerous. I am from the area and go there a lot. It's right between Subway n Popeyes. read more

granted I've only ever gotten the spicy shrimp fried rice, but it's the only other place ever i'd eat it at. it is just so tasty and one order can be split into two ppl.... but I'm greedy and will order one for myself. you can order for more spice on the side and soy sauce. cash only. read more

When I first came in the first thought was Get out of here because I originaly thought this place was those typical chinese spots where all the food is laid out and you choose what sides you want etc, but then I saw all these people coming in to order lunch so I thought wth it must be good, boy was I glad to stick around and order! It was so delicious! I ordered the chow mein With beef , the portions are huge and comes with a side of rice , so far thats all ive ordered because is that good but next time ill try something different ! read more
