I was here twice, once with a group and a few weeks later with the hubby. Upon entry we were warmly greeted by the staff. The menu is rich with many choices of Chinese cuisine. My all time fave is a sweet and sour protein plate. Here they have pork. Had this scrumptious dish twice and it was still amazing even as leftovers. Check out my photos-- chow mein, scallops and veggies, sweet and sour pork, and even the complimentary dessert of tapioca. All tasted awesome! Big portions! The hubby was wowed at the generous portions of good looking food that was brought to us. Our servers were the sweetest, so attentive and kind. Even though they were masked I can see their warm smiles in their eyes. They are closed on Tuesdays but open all the other days of the week. Excellent Chinese food and service. 5 stars.

Tonight I ordered the egg fried rice and the orange chicken. The fried rice, which is always on point, was too oily and had too many green onions in it giving it a weird flavor from what I remember. I could have lived with that, but the orange chicken was god awful. The meat they use is so fatty and when you are chewing on it, it's like you're chewing on an oyster or a snail. It's incredibly rubbery due to all the fat. My 6 year old took one bite and refused to touch it. I ate a few pieces but every one of them was a struggle to get down. 1/10 meat quality, actually gross. Will not be retuning after this experience.

I was reluctant to leave this post in hopes of keeping it a secret, but it's time to share this treasure. The same family from the 70's owns this restaurant which is now in their second generation of family owners, their children. Their cooking tastes like it's always tasted, extraordinary. No other ethnicities are in the kitchen cooking. To me, that says a lot about the continuity and quality of food. Trust me, this is not Panda Express with high school kids.... lol. This restaurant is authentic. Food: 5/5... my favorite is their Mongolian beef, peppered pork chops, and orange chicken. They are the best I've tasted (and I love eating Chinese). They have an old school menu with plenty to choose from, nothing disappoints. All is good. Service: 4/5... there are time where things get busy, this may cause some delays. But for the most part, food comes out hot and their family servers are working both kitchen and service. Price: 4/5.... They offer a family dinner special that serves 4 people.. two dishes, fried rice, chow mein, eggrolls, wonton soup, and fried wontonsz. A lot of quality food, for an amazing price. Rest of menu is decently priced. Food 5/5: here it is, the best in the South Bay. Hands down. Pick anything on the menu.. I'd say orange chicken, pepper fried pork chops, or Mongolia. However their sleeper dish is the "three meats king pao". All fire. Ambiance 3/5: No frills, or fluffs... basic Chinese restaurant seating. Nothing special with the ambiance... it's the food that counts. You won't be disappointed.

I couldn't believe I had to have an attitude with your Manager, she was so incompetent in the situation and her best response is "I just work here" took absolutely no ownership in the situation, and was so uninterested on helping. She didn't know how to process an exchange and redo the order., and if your phone line was only working so I can call in to tell them to remove the onions, none of this would've happened, You should empower your staff and give them the authorization to do things when you're not around, so this kind of screw-up doesn't happen again. I'm irritated, This is not how I wanted to spend my weekend.

There was eight of us, and we ordered a lot of dishes to share. I'm gonna break them down, but I have to say that nothing we had was not top quality. I haven't had food like this in years. First was the Kung pow chicken. Wow, it was just a perfect blend of spice and the chicken was perfect. No gristle. And that is the theme of this entire meal. I hate gristle, this Kung pow was sublime. Sweet-and-sour pork. I basically given up on this dish because no one gets it right, and it's always an excuse to hide gristle and fat. Not in this case. It was super tasty and for the first time I can remember there wasn't 1 ounce of gristle in this meat. It was just crispy tasty wonderful. Hong Kong style chow mein with pork. Another dish I haven't had in years, and this place nailed it. Reminded me of my old China house restaurant in Alameda. I mean it was really good. The pork was awesome, the gravy was perfect. What a great dish. The fried rice was excellent. Not greasy at all. I believe we got a combination fried rice and man was it good. Shrimp with lobster sauce. This was excellent, God this dinner was just so great, and this dish was right in there with the rest of them. I can't wait to go visit family again so I can eat at this place. It was spectacular. Oh and the last thing, the hot and sour soup was amazing. Again haven't had this type of food since I left the Bay Area. I give this meal a triple wow!!!

We ordered the xiao long bao, broccoli beef, beef rolls, and chicken chow mein. The xiao long bao was excellent with a good amount of soup in each dumpling, and the beef rolls were probably my favorite item, especially dipped in a mix of black vinegar and soy sauce. The broccoli beef had a nice flavor, though I wished it had a little more meat. The chicken chow mein was the weakest dish for me: the noodle texture was great, but the overall flavor didn't stand out as much as I expected. Ordering was easy and the menu was very approachable thanks to the pictures. The restaurant is on the smaller side, which actually made it easier to get a server's attention when needed. Food also came out pretty quickly. The ambiance is straightforward and comfortable -- nothing fancy, just a solid neighborhood restaurant. Because it's small, you may have to wait if it gets busy, but tables seemed to turn over quickly thanks to the fast service. One practical tip: the portion sizes are bigger than they look. We had a table for two and ended up with dishes crowding the table pretty quickly. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and will definitely be back.

I've had a consistently good experience with this authentic Chinese restaurant. Their lunch specials are a great value--generous portions, fresh ingredients, and full of flavor. I also really appreciate that they offer healthier options clearly labeled as "Weight Watchers," which makes it easy to enjoy a meal without the guilt. Another thing that really stands out is how family-oriented they are. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, especially to toddlers, which makes a big difference when dining with little ones. The only downside is the dine-in atmosphere--it could definitely use an upgrade and feels a bit outdated. That said, where they really shine is in delivery and takeout. Orders are always accurate, well-packaged, and still hot when they arrive. Overall, this is a solid go-to spot for quality Chinese food, whether you're dining with family or ordering out. read more

Do you not trust these people when you order by phone they will charge your credit card have you sign a receipt for a balance and then a few days later call you sending that the card number incorrect I didn't charge you to change the amount that was originally supposed to be charged without authorization so in other words they charge you 10 they charge you again and I'm wondering how in the hell did they do that if they don't even have my credit card number unless they're writing it down manually, And that's after I found a roach in my food don't ever order out from these people read more
