    Chow mein, beef and broccoli plus fried rice and orange chicken

    Already started eating when I thought of Yelp. Got dinner here tonight. Very good food. Extremely clean location. Will be back. Orange chicken, beef and broccoli plus fried rice and chow mein. All very yummy.

    Char siu, fried rice, shrimp

    They changed their team, food under the new team is awesome! They have really solid char siu which is easy my favorite. Approved by authentic Chinese Northerner(me)

    You get a huge plate of great tasting food for a low cost. I loved the vegan options that they had available. A huge plate came to $10 that I shared with my son. A homeless woman came in & I bought her a meal. The staff even let her stay inside and eat the food I got. They had amazing staff and I am very happy that I was able to have such a great meal. I highly recommend

    2 item combination (broccoli beef and orange chicken) with half chow mein and half fried rice

    Great cheap Chinese food! Since I'm new to the area and there are so many of these chain restaurants around, I decided to give it a try. Prices are reasonable for Chinese food. Great portions. I got a 2 item combo and both entrees were flavorful. The chow mein was good. The noodles are a little chewy, which I like. The fried rice could use a little of work though. It's pretty white, as you can see in the photo. Missing some egg and flavor. Could also be fried a little bit longer as well. According to the pictures, seems like their fried rice is inconsistent. I would skip on the fried rice if it's white like this next time and get all chow mein or half steamed rice.

    Best sushi I've ever eaten. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. 10/10

    Food is overly greasy and does not have a good flavor. Prices are cheap but not when you throw half of it away.

For this AREA this is a 5. For California GENERALLY, this is a 4, due to lack of menu options. I'm giving a 5 because comparatively, very few Chinese places offer soup let alone this authentic. Also due to the grape tea I got and the 10pc dumplings. Overall, this riverside-corona area is sparse and is moreso filled with Korean food than Chinese or Japanese. If you're in the area and need a good place to eat & chill, come here. My wait for inside was 1hr, went outside and got seated in 5 minutes. Make sure to spray for mosquitos and prepare for summer humidity. DO NOT COME IF you expect this to be Panda Express and you just want a personal platter with a whole Chinese cuisine. DO COME if you want authentic Chinese soup & dumplings with a side of rice or shrimp and quality time with others.

    I'm going to be so forreal, this place is over hyped. I was influenced and was disappointed. When I…read morewent in let's start off with the service - nobody greeted me, hello you're about to take my money the least you can do is say hello, tell me to sign my name and you'll be right with me... No, instead I asked ppl who were waiting in line "am I supposed to write my own name? After waiting and nobody acknowledging me for a good while. Their response was "we did" There was an empty seat that I could've just sat at because I went by myself and started eating sooner but because their lack of acknowledgment I waited 15 mins ... I really wanted to hope for the best that's why I waited. Then after being told to sit where I knew I'd sit, then my server was kind, but took a while to check up to see if I needed anything (I'm a sauce girl so I ask for eel and chili sauce at any restaurant that has it) instead I asked another server because mine was no where to be seen. Now, the food..... the tempura was delicious but for the price wtf is 3 pieces...????? Like EXCUSE ME???? 12 bucks and 3 pieces? Come the f on - You have a huge restaurant I'm sure you can afford one or two more pieces - okay those were good - probably my favorite thing I got. I got a fruity iced tea that was good x Now the dumplingsssss BRUH I got the beef and onion because I asked what were the best dumplings. They tasted like Trader Joe's dumplings man, I've made better dumplings at my home reheating them. I give the dumplings 4/10 with eel and chili oil and paste I give them a 6... but really good dumplings shouldn't need all of that. Needless to say, I happily won't be making the out of the way trip for this place ever again. With how busy and popular this place is online I guess I had expected better. Anyways if you want dumplings better than this get some at Trader Joe's cook them lightly on water with eel sauce to make a nice broth or used chicken / beef broth to heat them up. Youll save yourself the $50 of going out and waiting on yourself and disappointing dumplings.

High quality food made to order-- she was so sweet and kind. I felt so bad not being able to help keep her open.

She travels everyday from LA just to open her restaurant. What a commitment and so sad to know it won't be here for much longer. Upon entering the location was nice with ample parking in front they had plenty of seating to dine in or you can order to go.

I hope anyone reading this can help support her before she goes or does one of those viral videos that help blow her up one last time!

I picked the 3 viands and got the orange chicken, broc beef and some chopsuey. They serve it with half noodles and half fried rice. I was lucky since i arrived and everything were freshly made. The uncle was nice and the service was good. The inside was like any fast food joint. It's basically an eat and run place but it would be better to just go for takeout. Also pay with cash. It's cheaper. Also.... Also, they sell trays.... so you could get some for your party. :)

However, I recently read their reviews and laughed that they give straight peanut butter as a dipping sauce for their spring rolls. That is a big no-no. Anywho, I was going to do takeout and drive home to eat because I had my dogs with me, but after I ordered I saw there was a table outside so I decided to stay. I ordered their salmon special with garlic noodles, spring rolls, and a vietnamese coffee. Total was $33 and I was able to split the portions for lunch and dinner. When I entered I did not speak vietnamese and neither was the employee in the front aware I was viet. After I paid and didn't leave a tip, she said something in vietnamese about either giving me a smaller portion because I didn't leave a tip or just complaining about not receiving a tip. Once I got my food and said thank you in vietnamese, the employee in the front got real quiet. Lmao I sat outside with the fur babies and enjoyed my salmon. It was flavorful but noodles were kind of dry. The spring rolls came in 2. They add avocado, tofu, and jicima in addition to other ingredients. This isn't your traditional spring roll. I can also confirm that dipping sauce is straight peanut butter with not even enough water mixed in to make the texture smooth. Its like getting a cup of peanut butter that is watery on the top and dry and chunky from the middle down. A sauce like this will not be acceptable in the vietnamese community down in Bolsa. Haha! The coffee was also only okay, didn't finish it. I dont think I would drive out of my way to eat here.
