    Shrimp & Vegetable Soup
    Jhamil W.

    I don't usually come here for their hot bar. It's good, but not my favorite. When I come here I love to get the Shrimp & Vegetable Soup. REALLY FRESH AND FLAVORFUL... PERFECT FOR FALL AND WINTER ! OR THOSE SICK DAYS! Give this a try! 10/10 in my opinion.

    This place is a hidden gem. If you're looking for a review to help you decided if you should order from this place - this is it! The food is incredible and you can't beat these prices! I got the chicken teriyaki and it's was very juicy and flavorful. The fried rice and chow mein were also very good. A small drink was included with my entree. All for $10. While waiting in line, the chef was bringing out new trays of fresh food. Nothing looked like it was sitting for too long and didn't look greasy or bland. If you're still feeling skeptical, just give it a try, you have nothing to lose with these great prices.

    Orange Chicken

    Been searching for my go-to local Chinese fast food place, and this, unfortunately, still isn't it. Overall, food was just OK. Not inedible, but wouldn't go here again. Pros: fair portion size; speedy service. Chow mein: 3/5. OK. Nothing to be excited about. Orange chicken: 2/5. OK. Not too sweet or overly sauced. I enjoyed the crispness. The flavor was underwhelming. Kung pao: 1/5. Although it did contain chiles, there was no spice to the dish. It was almost sweet. It was quite heavy on the celery, about as much celery as there was chicken, so it really overpowered the dish. It was not what I would have expected when ordering a spicy chicken dish. Spicy pork rib: 0/5. This one I couldn't eat. The meat was exceptionally dry and flavorless. There was a little juice at the bottom that I tried pouring over the rib to help but it was really just excess broth. The rib itself had very little meat, mostly bone. Fried rice: 1/5. Dry, bland, overcooked.

    2 Item Combo: Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, Mushroom Chicken

    One of the last spots where they fill your plate to the brim and it still comes at a reasonable price. The orange chow mein noodles are so nostalgic and the protein options are sweet, crispy, and tangy. Its really what you want when you crave chinese fast food.

    I eat here regularly, food is always very tasty, and the staff is just adorable. I love their mushroom chicken, they will fill your plate up, it always lasts me 2-3 meals out of one ~$6 combo with 2 dish choices + rice & noodles, plus a free drink/ eggroll. And, I love that it is a small business

    Kung Pao Chicken, Black Bean Pork, Mushroom Chicken, and String Bean Chicken.

    The staff is extremely friendly. The combo portions are decent but the chicken entrees have a awkward texture.

Today we were approaching hangry, and knew that if we ordered a lunch special, we'd get delicious soup almost instantly, and we'd have leftovers for dinner! My partner was craving the kung pao tofu which blends with the brown rice beautifully, as does my order, the Chili Chicken, so garlicky and tender. We were also craving the spicy green beans, the perfect blend of crunchy and tender, spicy with the perfect touch of sweet! Be sure to consider some of our other favorites: the hand made chow mein (noodles alive and freshly made), the beef is simply crazy tender and lovely, ANY of the vegetables and tofu, and all their soups are to die for. They make their own ginger ale; but if you are wanting to boost your immunity or simply avoid the sugar syrup, I paid for a ginger ale but requested just the ginger juice (super hot and strong), and drank half and chased it with my diet coke and poured the rest in my soda for a ginger diet coke with lemon (yum). So much parking, trader joes next door if you need groceries, family owned and run, and OH, by the way, it's all HALAL (i.e.,) no pork dishes

To the point where we almost walked out (we couldn't flag anyone down & no one looked our way). We ordered Mapo Tofu w/Crab, Xiao Long Bao's, Pickled Cucumbers, Scallion Pancake, Fried Dumplings. Everything tasted super yummy, my favorite was the scallion pancake bc it was on the crispy side!! We'd love to come back again and try and hopefully have better service. Bc the food is super delicious and made up for the lack thereof in service.

I wanted to find out if this spot was as good as I had remembered it. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I was practically disappointed by two out of the three dishes. Two of them that should've been the best. I'll start out with the Mongolian beef. There was plenty of meat and onions and green onions, but there was no kick to it, not the greatest flavor either. It was also a little watery, which was a major letdown for me. I was really looking forward to enjoying it with the white rice that came with it. Next up was the chicken chow mein. I was expecting to have long noodles in its to go box but when I was eating it, it was small noodle cuts. That was a bit shocking for me. It also didn't have a lot of great flavor, and again I was let down. I did get vegetable fried rice, because who could actually screw that up. It was the best dish out of the three. Not a ton of flavor in it but enough for me to actually enjoy it. I tried using the leftover chow mein by putting it in a skillet and adding a few spices and oils. It improved it just a little bit, but not enough. Clearly, I can't go back here. It's like they say: buy cheap get cheap.

She did not let me down as we walked in and noticed how truly authentic it was going to look. Chinese decor on the walls and boxes of restaurant supples in the corners. Just as it should be. The bonus was that they had a TV showing the NBA Finals when we arrived. Pretty nice touch and in the back of the restaurant so as not to distract everyone. We went with a couple of our favorite dishes to run along and the Chicken Lo Mein was pretty good. Crispy pieces of chicken and soft noodles and veggies to go with it. We chose to get Mongolian Beef and it was absolutely fantastic. Crispy celery, green onions and decent sized pieces of meat in a terrific sauce. I would love to try to replicate that. My wife wanted a shrimp dish so she ordered the honey walnut and it even looked good to me when they brought it. She loves egg rolls, so she got a four piece and said they were pretty good. My biggest wow of the visit was their vegetable fried rice. MY GOD. I dont know what they season or flavor it with, but every fork full of rice that i ate, it was this sense of flavor that reminded me of butter or something else. I really loved the sensation i experienced from this particular dish. I am really curious on what it actually is. I will definitely be ordering out or coming in for Chinese because that reminded of many other places that put out fantastic dishes.

To be honest, the fried rice was a nice way to break the monotony of just plain ole white rice. I'd you like a good value, the entrees are also proportionally very generous. I thought both were quite good. You get plenty of protein and each dish tasted exactly how you'd expect them to taste. Highly recommend L V if you're in the mood for good ole Chinese food.

There's loads of amazing Thai places in Long Beach but you tend to go you the ones you like. I been to a good amount where they're highly rated but something about them isn't what I'm looking for. Some tends to be very Americanize, others are just whatever but people love them. I like what I like and this place is one of them. Like mentioned, whenever I'm in Long Beach a visit here is always a must. The service is amazing as all the staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The place isn't that big but a fairly decent amount of seating on both side. They do have a table out front but it's only one. Menu has pretty much a good selection of Thai dishes. I like what I like and tend to go for the same items as they are one of the place that makes it the way I prefer. And why is it some Thai places don't offer their classic dish, the boat noodles. I've been to a few and they don't offer it while some places, it's not that good. Here, it's alway consistent and very flavorful. That a must for me and alway ordered. We also love the papaya salad which you can have Thai style or Laos style. Depending on what your preference is. Their larb is great as well. Very flavorful and tasty. Of course our main items we tend to get here, the boat noodles which I love as it's flavorful, broth is perfect and all the extras added. Also all their curries are excellent. Lately we've been getting their massaman curries which the flavors is really nice. Whatever protein you like. The curries do come with a side of rice but an extra order is alway needed. Love it to have with the papaya salad and larb. All their dishes are great and very flavorful. Spice level varies on what you like but I tend to go with medium and add all the extra spices for myself with their sauce selection. We tend to alway be full even before being asked if we wanted dessert. The food is always amazing and the staff are always friendly and sweet. There's two restaurants that's a door apart and both are great but this one takes the cake for me. It's always a must when I'm in town as I know the food will alway be delicious. Highly recommended. Heads up, parking in the area is a bitch. It's all residential so people tend to stay in or else they're going to lose their spots. Just a heads up.

The fried rice was next level good. And the tom kha soup was excellent as well. I didn't love the drunken noodles themselves but the bbq pork on the dish was delicious. The fried pork belly was a little too tough to eat but the sauces it came with were both great. And the basil eggplant was solid.
