    Egg drop soup
    Wendy C.

    A new place for us to try! The interior is a little dated and dark at the back where the restrooms are. However the restroom is very nice, clean and modern. We were greeted immediately, and shown to a table. We were given menus, and chose drinks. I chose Beef Chow Mein, which is the specific reason i had wanted to come here - i see Lo Mein at many restaurants, but I've not seen Chow Mein at too many. Husband ordered Combination Dinner R, which consisted of Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Mongolian Beef and Chicken Chow Mein. Within 3 minutes, the cheery server came out with 2 bowls of egg drop soup. We hadn't expected them, though they're often on a set menu, mine was definitely not supposed to come with soup, but she gave me one anyway - so kind of her She was LOVELY! The egg drop soup was very nice - plenty of egg and cabbage, and the perfect temperature for eating. She got her eye on my Asian Hair Pin, which has a light up tea house thing on it, so we chatted about that briefly, whilst she admired it. Honestly, she has the happiest smile, i was very impressed with her. Within a few moments of finishing the soup, out came the main courses. Absolutely HUMONGOUS plate for my husband, and i knew there was very little chance of him finishing it - he was looking at himself the other day sadly, and announced he had moobs, so he's now eating less, and this is an absolutely massive plate of food. Then came my Beef Chow Mein, again, it's a huge plate, and i know that i can't finish this. Both plates are bejeweled liberally with the tenderest pieces of beef I've had in a while, and crunchy veg. Bean sprouts, crunchy noodles, lots of onion, and green (maybe zucchini?) along with a bowl of rice. Mine had a lovely dark coloured gravy/sauce too, it was very yummy. I did my best, but of course i had to get a takeout box, and it's full. I would definitely go back. I've never had such speedy and happy service in a restaurant before. She seemed genuinely delighted to see us, and i really liked that. Excellent service, and good food.

    I don't live in anchorage anymore, but when I do come back for a quick visit, this is the first place I stop by. It is quite expensive and portion size doesn't make up for it, but the taste does. A meal for two can get up to $50 plus a tip. Make sure to get the hot chicken wings!

    This is by far the best chinese restaurant in Anchorage. They serve huge portions and tons of rice. The staffs are very friendly and welcoming. We've been going here for years and no other chinese restaurants can compete. We always order the same dish. Spicy mongolian beef, spicy kung pao chicken and korean sweet and sour beef. Yummy!!! *they even have a korean menu :)

    Jajangmyeon: Korean noodle dish topped w/ thick chunjang sauce (salty black soybean paste), diced pork and veggies, and seafood.

    The staff here are always very nice and courteous, they have a decently priced fixed lunch menu and the food always comes out fast and hot!

    A hidden gem worth the hunt!…read more Be careful with Google Maps. It might lead you into a small alleyway that's easy to miss. Keep your eyes peeled! Also, note that Dim Sum is weekend-only. The menu is concise but high quality. Since everything is made fresh, they do run out of items quickly, so get there early! Highlights for me, - Rice Noodle Rolls: Perfectly chewy and soak up the sauce beautifully. - Shu Mai: Classic, savory pork satisfaction. - Egg Tarts: Delicate and not overly sweet. This is a family-run spot that prioritizes tradition and warmth over flashy decor. It feels like a home-cooked meal.

    We came here on a Saturday around 4:30pm. We wanted to try their dim sum, only on weekends…read more We got two BBQ pork belly bao buns, they were really tasty. We also got steamed bbq pork bun, Chinese pork sausage steam bun, Xiu Mai, and the red bean paste steak bun. If I came here again I might try some of the other main dishes you can get on the week day but I would definitely get the red bean paste bun and the pork belly bao buns. The meat portion is really two bites and you get two in an order. We also got egg tart for dessert. They were out of a few things including the seasame balls which we would have tried. It was pretty empty when we came, only one other table occupied. The outside kind of fools you because you just park wherever and they also share the building with other tenants. Overall the food was not disappointing, and especially so because you basically can't find this food anywhere else in town.

    This place is truly an odd duck. They have two specialties and they couldn't be more different:…read more 1) Chinese food. 2) Big steaks. I've only ever gotten the steak. The steaks are very good and properly cooked. The salad that comes with the steak is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. It's a mountain of ice berg lettuce, dripped with white vinegar (not vinaigrette dressing, actual industrial vinegar), and augmented by 3 cherry tomatoes. So, I would HIGHLY recommend that you get the soup instead! For the other side, I subbed veggies, and it was absolutely worth the up charge! The veggies were fresh, crisp and NOT boringly steamed like so many other steak places. The interior is not fancy and beat down. If you want a "nice steak" come here. If you want a "nice restaurant" to eat it in, this is a tough one to recommend. I haven't had their Chinese food, so I can't comment, maybe next time.

    Little place, decorated cute, and the food was very good. I did not give it four stars because we…read morewere not crazy over the soup. It was some sort of egg drop soup but it did not taste good plus had an awful lot of different things in we didn't care. So besides that everything else was great. We had the egg foo young and Mongolian beef. The interior was cute, our waitress was nice and it was priced reasonably. Not bad Chinese.

    We have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. We have done birthdays, anniversary,…read morecelebrations of life, and Mother's Day just to name a few. We have always found the service spot on. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. They have always treated us well. Tracy has always treated us as part of the family. The food has always been fresh and plenty of it. There has always been a good variety of food. There is always something for everyone. There are their soups, the sushi, which has a good variety of choices. They have a decent salad bar, and a good selection of desserts. They even have a soft ice cream machine. The entrees they offer can satisfy anyone. They have fish, beef, chicken and more in meats. They have rice and noodles. They have tampora as well. If you are not interested in the buffet, you can order from the menu. The also offer spirits. If you seek to host a party. They can handle most request. They have a smaller dinning area as well as a larger one. As I said, I have coming here since they opened 20 years again and never tire of the food or the people. I feel at home here.

    There were a lot of choices but the food was just mediocre. There were soups, sushi, chicken, pork,…read morefruit, etc. The avocado roll was decent. The avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy. The Mongolian beef was alright. The meat wasn't tough. The tempura shrimp could have used a touch of salt. I had too many other items to list. The waitress was very friendly. I don't think I'll be back unless I hear the food has improved.
