    Was in the area and needed a quick lunch. Saw they offered lunch specials on weekdays until 3pm, everything was pretty much under $14, so said why not. For their lunch special, the portions are pretty nice. The lunch special menu has over 25+ options, from classics like broccoli beef, Mongolian beer, salt & pepper pork chops, etc. I went with the beer and scrambled eggs bc I have had it at another spot, and honestly while it wasn't bad, the eggs were too overcooked. I've had this dish at other spots, and it's been saucy/yolky (not sure how to best explain it), this one was more of an omelette. Had to add some spice and soy sauce to get any type of flavor. I definitely think this was the case of ordering the wrong thing. I saw other dishes that looked really good, so while I wasn't a fan of what I got, I do think the price point makes this an affordable option for a quick Chinese food meal.

    The Cantonese dinner for $16.95 per person was a great deal. Won Ton Soup - The wontons were great, but the soup flavor and veggies were pretty lacking. (The veggies consisted of a few pieces of cabbage and some green onions.) Egg Roll + Cheese Puff - This came out hot out of the fryer! No complaints here. Sweet and Sour Pork - Probably the best dish. The pork was tender and not dried out. Beef with Vegetables - Beef was nice very tender, but a bit on the salty side due to the oyster sauce. I liked the addition of baby bok choy. BBQ Pork Fried Rice - This was a great accompaniment to the meal. I took the leftovers home and got two more meals out of it. Service was attentive and quick. Will be back and would love to try out their reasonably priced lunch specials.

    Good soup and service . Small yet nice parking can be so so but overall good for the money you're paying

    Good home cooking food, thought my late Mom was cooking back there in the kitchen. Very nice service, prompt & courteous.

    I've been trying to find some really good Chinese food and my search is over. There are many in the area to try but this one is at the top of my list. The location is easy to find with plenty of parking nearby. The prices are about average for the amount of food served. There is inside seating with large tables for families. The food is not only plated nice but the flavor is what won me over. Fresh vegetables and cooked to perfection. Friendly staff and the food was served hot off the stove with little wait time. They have a good amount of to-go orders but that didn't seem to slow them down. Give them a try for authentic Chinese food.

    Woot!  One undercooked eggplant [$7.75, 1.5 stars]

    I was hangry, and Chinese food delivery was the way to go via UberEats. I mean, 4 stars on Yelp, this was a no-brainer. The menu looked solid, so I ordered a smattering of items fit for a king, unfortunately, that's far from what I received: 1. Garlic Eggplant Appetizer [$7.75, 1.5 stars] -- never have I been so disappointed. It was ONE 8" eggplant, split into 4 pieces lengthwise. Not cooked all the way, and overall, a very very small portion. #LOSER 2. Steamed Pork Dumplings [$9.15, 3.0 stars] -- Trader Joe's? No, but they were from frozen. Fine, but average at best. 3. Broccoli Chicken [$15.95, 3.5 stars] -- this was good, but very small portion and at that price, very underwhelming. A below average experience. Overall, a big NO for me.

    I personally don't like or enjoy Chinese food, so this is my boyfriends opinion... I had the Pork Won Ton soup as a meal. My boyfriend had egg rolls, deep fried beef in garlic sauce, & cashews chicken. Won Ton soup was very bland, so I doctored it up with soy sauce and spicy Chinese oil... My boyfriend completely finished the other 3 dishes. He was constantly making those Mmmm sound, enjoying every bite.

    Been to this place several times and it's probably because of the consistency of the food. Taste is ok and about what you come to expect from an average Chinese food restaurant. Prices are ok as well. Customer service is good and the place is clean. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if you need a quick Chinese food fix and your local, i would definitely recommend. Not to many people dining in these days but I do see many people picking up food for delivery.

    easily the best and most wallet-friendly for lunch! it's usually quiet and the service is always good. the only difference between ordering to-go and eating there is a bowl of sweet and sour soup. these two photos are two different occasions. 5/5 i go at least once a month.

    This place came highly recommended by a coworker who grew up in Beijing. We were talking about…read morePeking Duck and she said the best Peking Duck in the Bay Area is at Boijing Beijing. Coincidentally, some of my friends were also thinking of coming here so we made it happen on Sunday evening. We pre-ordered the big duck and shared the rainbow salad, bok choy with morel mushrooms, sweet and sour shrimp and sweet and sour whole fish. The Peking Duck was indeed the best I've had in the Bay Area (it's crispy, rich but somehow not greasy). You get the traditional crepes (as opposed to the Bao in most places) and accompaniments. They also made a great broth with the duck bones that served as an excellent consommé. The rest of the dishes were also good - I would order that shrimp and rainbow salad again for sure. Service was OK and the restaurant looks recently remodeled. There were five of us and we spent about $55 each - an incredible value for the meal. Highly recommended!!!

The place was busy by the time we got there, so plan in advance or get reservations. My favorite dishes were the black pepper steak, cumin lamb, and of course, the duck. I really liked how they also offer to fry or stew the duck bones to your preference after finishing. The duck was juicy and perfectly cooked. Parking is easy since it's the big shopping mall lot. I'd just recommend going early or getting reservations in advance. It seems like it gets busy a lot.

    The wife wasn't feeling well so in order to heal the soul, porridge is the way to go…read more I was recommended this place by a former colleague who mentioned their porridge was great. I don't eat porridge often, usually when really under the weather so I'm fortunate to not gone to get some in a while. I called my pickup order since I didn't see an online option. The store front is Ichi Ramen so it's confusing in case you get lost in the busy plaza. I ordered shrimp, fish and plain porridge (congee) along with beef chow fun. 4 dishes total. Total came out to under $60 and it was a heavy bag! The porridge has a nice thick consistency without being runny. It had flavor to not need seasoning and surprisingly large portions of seafood. The chow fun was decent but I've definitely tasted better. Kinda pricy at $18 though the beef slices were big. I appreciated it wasn't as oily as other chow fun I've had so easy to eat without feeling kinda gross after. Solid value, good food, and worth a rec for porridge. All in all, I'd definitely return. 4.5 stars.

    I like this place for congee and Chinese comfort food…read more This place stands out for congee because they serve it ripping hot (literally boiling in front of you on the table) in a clay pot. For some proteins, it is advisable to get an extra bowl to remove the protein as it will overcook in the crazy hot congee. The sliced beef congee comes out perfect so they must either add it to the hot congee rare or even raw so it ends up cooking perfectly. The friend Chinese donut was crispy and airy, slightly oily so fryer oil may have needed to be hotter and fry cook need to slow down and let oil temp recover. Place does get busy quick and may need to wait for a table though.

But I'm not upset at all about this impromptu decision as we had a great meal here. Our table of 6 ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious. the most notable items for me were the spicy wontons and fish in chili oil. The dishes were spicy but not so much so that you couldn't enjoy the actual flavors of the dish. For those that like the Szechuan tingling feeling, the chicken in explosive chilis was also quite good. We had also given the string beans, green onion pancake, and pork and shrimp dumplings a shot and all of them hit the spot. I'm usually a huge fan of braised beef noodle soup so decided to get that here too. It wasn't the same as if I had gotten this dish at a Taiwanese restaurant; compared to the strong flavors of the other dishes, this one was pretty mild. So it's something I would skip next time I come, but every other dish was on point. Our waitress was also great at taking care of us, bring out our food quickly and helping us to clear the other plates. Even after we finished our meal and overstayed our welcome by continuing to chat, the staff didn't make us feel rushed to leave.
