    Fried chicken wings

    They exist to pump out party platters of fried chicken wings. Be the hero at your next potluck. Bring the wings.

    I've been going here since I was a kid with my parents! Always the nice lady at the register. Food always hits the spot and great prices. I've never ran into issues with them and great for party trays also. Highly recommended

    Salt & Pepper Chicken Lollipops!

    I was craving some good wings and recalled seeing that this spot had lollipop chicken. I walked in shortly after opening and there was only one person waiting for takeout. The restaurant was a decent size with a good amount of tables. I saw that they also leave you a big ok thing off chili oil as well! I ordered the salt & pepper chicken lollipops & some potstickers. I wasn't in the mood for any carbs and was just in a finger food kinda mood. Weirdo?! lol Anyways, the potstickers were just whatever. They threw the plastic sauce container inside the Togo box with the potstickers. When I opened it up like maybe 7 mins later the plastic was all warped. The potstickers were just edible. It didn't stand out or tasted like they were freshly made, but rather premade and frozen. On the other hand tho, the star of the show did not disappoint! Man oh man! These lollipop wings were really good! You get 10 to an order and it's not on the menu, but they will still make it for you. Ask for a side of sauce. I def will go back and try some other dishes.

    Meat combination chow mein $12.95

    Classic Cantonese. Day 3 of no power at our house due to the winter storm. Tonight we trekked over to Little Hunan on Mission -- again in a part of town that I'm not used to. We got lucky with street parking just a block away and arrived to a very cold but spacious restaurant at 7pm on Tuesday. There's hardly anyone here but don't prejudge with first appearances. The boss lady is really nice despite limited English. It helps if you can speak Cantonese. She tries to be friendly and funny. We ordered our typical favorites: Braised fish fillet clay pot $14.95 Pork chop with pepper and salt $12.95 Mongolian beef $13.95 Meat combination chow mein $12.95 Fried chicken wings $13.95 Considering we just had Suily's yesterday night, we couldn't help but to compare -- both places are really tasty and you can't go wrong with either. Little Hunan is slightly more expensive but you also get a little bit more in your portions. The food is a little on the salty side though so I would advise that you can some rice to accompany your meal. I throughly enjoyed every dish, and it really brought me back to the 90's. I asked for the chicken wings to be extra spicy and man oh man did I love eating all that jalapeño and crispy garlic. Each wing was absolutely crunchy perfection without a lot of batter. Very similar to the salt and pepper pork chop! The braised fish fillet clay pot was another knockout but it does have a lot of tofu and Napa cabbage on the bottom so be aware if you're not into that. The always classic panfried noodles had a good portion of mixed meats. I rolled outta Little Hunan stuffed and happy! I liked that they accepted credit cards but no apply pay FYI

    This place is highly recommended by my good friends and I can't believe it took me this long to try them. Everything I've ordered has been excellent! Chicken and Corn Soup, Combination Fried Rice, Combination Chowmein, Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings, Mongolian Beef, Beef with Broccoli! Mama May is the sweetest, always smiling and very attentive and the restaurant is clean.

    I'm going to give this place a positive review. I went in on a Saturday afternoon. A few people picking up what look like big orders and only two people eating in. I was greeted by the lady and she was friendly, took my order and offered me to eat in if I wanted. The chicken skins are way better than what you would buy at seafood city or packaged. Generous amount. The salt and pepper pork chop is bone in which is what I like and it is good although the portion wasn't as large as I thought. The restaurant itself looks clean with plenty of seating. I'd go back if in the area.

Another guest was waiting for their take-out order. One server working the front of the house. Service was minimal but efficient at the same time. She brought us everything we asked for immediately. The menu is fairly large, but we still managed to order variations of dishes not listed on the menu. Most Chinese restaurants will accommodate a guest request so long as they have the ingredients and they know how to compose the dish. How they work out the pricing may be something else. At the table immediately behind my mom, I heard the guest ordering a Hot & Sour Soup, add Won Ton. One of my favorite mash-ups! We ended up having a very nice conversation over lunch. Of course, we ordered the same soup and the price they charged was a reasonable $16.95. I've had some places try to charge me for two soups which I think is ridiculous. We also ordered a Seafood Chow Mein and a Chicken Dry Fried Chow Fun with Yau Chow Sum. All three dishes came out nice and hot. The flavors were on point very satisfying. I goofed and didn't a picture of the Chow Fun because it came out last and I was already tucking into my Chow Mein. Mom enjoyed it so we'll be back!

Ordering was easy, the staff were genuinely warm and accommodating, and the food came out in about 10 minutes! No complaints on the service side at all. Honestly, the team here was a highlight. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. What I'd recommend: Honey Walnut Prawns: The clear standout of the meal. Well executed, good flavor, and the shrimp were a generous size. If you come here, get this. What I'd skip: Fujian Fried Rice: Unfortunately pretty disappointing. The texture was mushy and it lacked flavor throughout. Wouldn't order again. Deep Fried Flounder: Way too heavily battered. The thick coating of flour overpowered everything and there wasn't much flavor coming through underneath. Could be a solid dish with a lighter touch. Seafood Pan-Fried Crispy Noodle: Decent enough but pretty flat on flavor. Just okay. Deep Fried Fish Balls: The flavor was actually there, which was a plus, but they were a bit overcooked and came out harder than they should have been. Overall, the service genuinely saved the experience. The staff were great and the vibe was pleasant. But the food didn't quite land for me and I likely won't be back. If you do go, stick to the Honey Walnut Prawns and maybe explore some dishes I didn't try.

Parking can…read morebe a bit challenging depending on when you arrive, but there are nearby lots you can use. Just check the signage for parking restrictions. We arrived a little after 10am on a Saturday morning and were able to get seated soon after. The restaurant was busy when we walked in but there were multiple open tables. The dim sum menu is quite extensive with several options along with a list of specials that you can order. My go-to options are generally the har gow (shrimp dumplings), siu mai, and the rice noodle roll. My partner often likes to order the beef tripe, chicken feet, and steamed spare ribs. He enjoyed each of those items and thought the quality was great. Each item we ordered was made well and tasty for the most part. We opted to try this multicolored version of har gow which had different flavors, and I did not enjoy it. I should've stuck with ordering original har gow, but am glad I tried something new. Some staff walk around with carts of various dim sum items and I noticed a mango pudding dish, but didn't have a chance to try it. We also ordered an item with flavored clams and a soy pudding dish, which tasted okay. I will say customer service was reliable. We enjoyed the jasmine green tea and asked for a few refills, the staff that assisted us were friendly & courteous. I am curious about visiting their new location at the nearby mall, which will open at the end of the year. Overall, it was a good dining experience and I would recommend visiting Koi Palace for dim sum with family/friends.

No water, just pure concentrated flavor. The restaurant gets its name from simmering, one of the essential Chinese cooking techniques, and you can taste that philosophy across the whole menu. The Dry Pot lived up to the hype, but the real surprise was the skewers. Beef, lamb, and chicken, intensely flavorful and rich. I can't stop thinking about them. The potstickers were also way better than expected. Usually a throwaway order at most places, but here they were juicy and packed with flavor. The beef pancakes were fantastic. Golden and crispy on the outside, juicy flavor bomb on thes inside. Both crunchy and a little chewy (in the good way). Came back a few weeks later with friends and ordered the whole grilled fish, which I'd been eyeing since my first visit. It looked magnificent, but it didn't really pop the way the other dishes did. If you love fish it's worth trying, but the dry pot, skewers, beef pancakes, and dumplings are the stars here. We also got a few veggie dishes which were all great accompaniments...but nobody is here for the veggies. A few practical notes. They have a beer tap but it doesn't work, so if you're into beer, they've got a few options by the bottle. Parking is easy since it's in the Serramonte Center, and you can combine it with a trip to Jagalchi, Target, or whatever else you need. Both times I came there was plenty of seating. I'll be back soon, and next time I'm getting the dry pot with their handmade noodles.

    The staff here were very kind. Unfortunately, the quality of the food did not live up to the…read moreservice. Things started okay as we ordered a few lamb skewers as an appetizer which were a little tough, but had a nice cumin and spicy flavor. However, the main course was the biggest disappointment. We ordered three noodle soups and beef chow mein, and they were all extremely bland. In particular, the two fish noodle soups tasted almost identical despite one supposedly having green peppercorn and the other having pickled vegetable. Both were very under-salted and had very little flavor. The chow mein was equally bland, and the noodles were also very mushy and overcooked. I have never found myself reaching for the soy sauce at restaurants, but I did this time, not that it helped much. Overall, the meal felt very unsatisfying. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong items (maybe we should have tried their signature dry pots?) but after this experience, I'm not keen to give this place a second chance.

They are located in a strip mall near several different food places, bakery, and a bowling alley. This is a solid dim sum place, with no frills and reasonable prices. You order off a printed menu that's in Chinese with tiny English subtitles. You can also order off their regular menu if you want to supplement the dim sum dishes. Their food is very good, and some dishes were excellent. The service was pretty quick, and before we knew it, all our dishes were out with almost no room on the lazy Susan. The standouts for me were: + Steamed custard buns (piggy buns) - I ordered these for the kiddies, but dang they are so good. The custard filling is so velvety, it's almost like pudding. I think I detected a hint of coconut too - yum. + Beef chow fun - this had a really good wok flavor and the noodles were less wide than most. The noodles didn't clump either, and the bean sprouts were still crispy. + Roasted pork belly - the skin was so crispy and the pork was juicy. We ordered most of the basic dishes like har gaw, sui mai, noodle rolls, turnip cake, stuffed eggplant, chicken feet, etc. and they were all above average. My only complaint is if you don't read Chinese, the menu is a little hard to navigate. The English subtitles are so small that if you're looking for something, you have to scan the front and back of the menu trying to find the item. I was looking for sticky rice in lotus leaf, but found sticky rice roll and thought it was the same thing. It wasn't. The sticky rice roll was not bad, but I found the rice drier than when it's in lotus leaf. We ordered a few things by mistake because the English subtitles were not that descriptive. Overall, a great alternative to more popular places like Koi Palace. The menu may not be as creative as Koi, but you don't have to deal with the lines and you still get great food.

The service was efficient, the portions generous, and the food solid. Great spot if you're looking for dim sum that delivers on quality without the usual weekend chaos.
