I'm sad that since the company was sold to a different entity that the "3 oz. bags sold at Puget Sound store has taken a different explanation of what an "Unfortunate Fortune cookie. These were sold in Safeway stores here in that dinky bag to what I should have done before I got them. The new interpretation is that these cookies are just filled with "misfortune fortunes!" I don't liooke it at all! What can improve m? I know I can go to the Tsue Chong store in the ID. Please offer then in stores on the Eastside again. read more

Tsue Chong - Unfortunately not "The "REAL" Unfortunate fortune cookies. The new owners seem to have lost focus. - Specialty Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Reviews not accurate. The retail outlet is there inside the warehouse. There is a open rolling door without a sign with 2 people selling retail and wholesale. There are wonton noodles for soup and stir fry like what the restaurants use. There are 2 versions of 5lb boxed noodles, one with egg and one without egg. 5lb box for 9$; less than 2$ a lb. About as cheap as walmart barilla pasta. The potsticker wrappers are fresher than the other brands at 99ranch. They are easier to push in filling with a wrapper which you can stretch when filling. Behaves more like fresh dough. 6$ for bag of fortune cookies. Difficult to find these in retail stores. Had to go to the factory outlet. read more

All I have to say is 5 lb bag of "mis-fortune" cookies for less than $20. They take cash only and it's in a very modest entrance- standard metal warehouse door and the food is on a shelf just to the right inside the "door". They have a fridge with noodles and won ton wrappers and some other food items. There is 30 minute parking for pickups and drop offs on the street and it took less than five minutes to grab and pay for the cookies. The cookies are VERY fresh and tasty. Years ago the same bag was less than $10 but just like everything prices have gone up. It looks like the business name is posted above fences and for lease signs but that isn't where the warehouse entrance is so disregard that part of the building. read more

My family has used the Rose Brand Chinese egg noodles for at least 35 years that I am aware of. We use them exclusively in a baked chicken dish that a family favorite. Wouldn't be the same without the Rose Brand Noodle. I buy them by the case at their store in downtown Seattle. read more

Rose Brand gets me the fresh egg noodles that I crave for when making noodle dishes like wanton noodles, and mee pok (al dente with lard, served with pork and mee pok sauce =P). I find that going to the store gets me fresher noodles than if I go to the supermarket. Those go out of stock in supermarkets rather quickly, which is good because when they restock, I know that it is relatively fresh. Update - 2023/2/4. Unfortunately the store is now shuttered with some construction company sign in front. It has been like that since COVID, and it looks like its not coming back. Anyone knows where I can get fresh noodles from the factory? I find supermarket supply / restock to be unreliable (e.g. Ranch). read more

Y'all, this place b lookin' old and run down but If you want some fresh rice noodles and become a chef star, this the place to be. You can make your own beef chow fun with gravy or without! Their pricing is great, their noodles are made fresh and in house and they're actually a wholesaler for a lot of other places so if you're feeling like you've perfected a recipe, try buying in bulk and making a party order or start your own biz? I love to cut the rice rolls up into little pieces and make my own XO rice noodles w shrimp, and for the cut rice noodle packs, I love to separate them all and make it with some soy sauce/hoisin and beef! Of course topping everything with green onion is a plus and asian staple The fortune cookie rejects are also great dipped in chocolate and with some toppings. GET TO EXPERIMENTING! read more

While the hours may be uncertain at times, this place is worth a visit to grab some fresh noodles. They have tons of varieties, and all for super cheap. Keep in mind that the noodles you see may not look like a ton in each bag, but they expand when cooked and will be more than enough to fill you up. If what you're looking for isn't in the fridge, ask the worker if they have some in the back. Meanwhile, check out all the fortune cookies and grab a bag or two. The ginger flavor is pretty good, although the strawberry wasn't my favorite. Come check it out. read more

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the fresh eggs noodles since the change of ownership. The noodles no longer have "crunch" to it. And before you say that I don't know how to cook the noodles properly; it's not my first rodeo. I've have purchased noodles here before, lots of them. The only reason why I didn't give them one star is because their chow fun, it is still okay. read more

Go on and walk through, ignore the barred exterior. The inside doesn't have much to show except some large bags of round ("mess up") fortune cookies and smaller bags of flavored proper fortune cookies with fortunes inside (almond, strawberry, ginger, vanilla) The cookies are light and crispy and so much better than ones you get from any panda express like places. Highly highly recommended!! I actually like the flat mess up cookies better than the flavored ones. read more

I was born in the 206 before moving to California and I must declare this place has been around for a long time. I remember my aunt taking me here to buy some of those broken fortune cookies because they make a good snack. It wasn't until 2018 that I returned here to buy my own asian goods. I must say the quality of the fortune cookies still has that taste of what I see in a californian Vietnamese or Chinese restaurant. It really surprised me that even one of my ex girlfriends even know of this place and she actually showed me a personalized fortune cookie that she got from here. I never told her I'm from Seattle. If you own a Chinese or Vietnamese restaurant, order from these guys because they are top quality next to San Francisco. If you are lucky or know someone who works here then you can see how the fortune cookies or noodles are made. If you are not from the 206, do stop by. read more

Highly likely you have seen Tsue Chong's products if you have visited an Asian supermarket. Though they are named Rose Brand. Tsue Chong is essentially a noodle factory and I visited the retail store in which they offer their goods. Prices here are a little cheaper than elsewhere, but not worth it unless you are already in their area as their hours are a bit short as they close at 2 pm. They are not even open on Sundays. In addition to noodles, Tsue Chong is well known for their ubiquitous fortune cookies found all over town at Chinese establishments. Generally, I find fortune cookies to be a bit tacky and untraditional. Though they taste good. I have not visited any places in SF, Vancouver/Richmond or in Hawaii that actually do. Fortune cookies are truly more indicative of Chinese restaurants in the area following what everyone else is doing. Other than fortune cookies, you will find dried noodles in 5 or 10 pound boxes as well as a refrigerator case with stir fried noodles, udon, wonton noodles and wonton/gyoza wrappers. They also offer rice noodles, though it is hard to tell if they have them or not since they do not display it really. Gotta ask I guess. If you are in the area when they are open, Tsue Chong is a great place to pick up some fresh Chinese noodles. read more

A fortune cookie factory that is just a stone's throw away from......a food bank for the less fortunate. It was strange. Very strange to arrive here to see a huge line up that starts on the underside of the I5 overpass on Weller Street and runs halfway down the block because of people lining up for the food bank. Original owners are from Toishan, a dialect that I can't understand. That's what granny spoke to me with her accent. I couldn't understand most of it but someone else who spoke it, translated it to standard Canto for me. Anyhoo, I got a few bags. The original flavour. Nothing fancy. That's all I needed. They're much, much tastier than anything you can get in Hongcouver. Go figure. The store is old. Four generations old, but they still push out the best cookies I've tasted. $9.95 for a 5 lb bag of the less fortunate variety. Aka, broken and chipped. $3 for 1 lb bag of the regular stuff read more

Tsue Chong - My bag of goodies - Specialty Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've bought fortune cookies (broken seconds "mis-fortunes") from Tsue Chong Company for the last 50 years. I've made day trips from Portland just to buy mis-fortunes, buying as many as 20 bags at once. The flavor and quality varied; sometimes the best I've ever had; other times just OK or average. But in the last 2 years, the quality is terrible. The flavor is unremarkable and they are over-cooked and hard. They have become so bad that I threw them away rather than give them to friends as gifts. I think that the quality was lost in the transition to the next generation. read more

Love fortune cookies?! This is the freshest and best there is! Literally! They make fresh flat or folded fortune cookies and they're always so fresh - beats the stale ones you get from the restaurants! There's nothing like it in Houston (even with such a large Chinatown) so I had my dad buy me some and ship them over to me cause I miss them so much!!! He use to get these and the Ho fun fresh and we'd go to town! The Ho fun is the soft rice noodles you can buy whole sale and take it home and add some meat or veggies and make it a meal! Can't re-iterate how fresh this place is! Totally worth the shipping costs!!! My bf loves fortune cookies.. well he's in for a Xmas surprise!! read more

Quality: I like their thin wonton pi. Haven't used the bag of noodles I bought yet. Service: Lady who answered the phone was very helpful. Normally the other times I've been there, the guy or a lady were helpful as well, making sure that I got what I needed. Girl at the front desk, not so much. I went to pick up the noodles and asked for 10lb of the steamed noodles like the lady on phone told me to do. She went into the back, another customer came in, she came out. She decided to help that customer instead. I got a little upset because she and the other lady decided to have a little chat as well while I was still waiting and my husband was in the car waiting with the baby. No idea what they spoke, it was Cantonese. She then asked if I wanted the box of pan fry noodles. We eventually worked it out and I got my bag of noodles. I wish they had pictures of the noodles though. I'm used to the noodle factories in Hawaii, so I'm not familiar on what the equivalent types are here. read more

This place has been around for a long time, and yet still produces the same high quality cookies and noodle as I remembered 25+ years ago. Every time I am in town, I have to pick up a bag of 5lb cookies for snacks. It's not only tasty but bringing me fond memories. The fresh noodles are also a must try, they are always delicious either cooked with soup or stir fry. It's a shame that they had to board up the windows on their building but I am glad they continue to serve the community by keep the door open. read more

These guys totally make the best fortune cookies and noodles! Hell, they have been doing it since 1917 and still going strong! My earliest recollection about their fortune cookies was when my father brought home this gigantic, clear bag full of unfortunate fortune cookies (flats). My sister and I were beside ourselves and totally gorged on them; and later getting in trouble with mom because we weren't hungry for dinner! They still sell those 5lb bags of unfortunate fortune cookies for $6.30. They also offer different flavors of fortune cookies. Flavors like: strawberry, lemon, cherry, mint, mocha, cinnamon, apple, blueberry, chocolate and pina colada. These flavored fortune cookies run $1.15 for a 4oz package (16 cookies). If you have some special occasion to celebrate, you can also have them do custom flavors and fortunes for you! I do stop by every once in a while and pick up their fresh noodles. They have 19 different varieties to choose from, though they don't have all of them stocked in the refrigerator case. If there is something you are looking for that isn't there just ask! Fortunes in fortune cookies have changed over the years. These aren't from Tsue Chong, but when I was growing up fortunes weren't so politically correct: Boy, wouldn't it suck to get this one: _______________________________________________ I I I DEATH AND PAIN SURROUNDS YOU I I______________________________________________ I _______________________________________________ I I I YOU WILL MARRY IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS I I______________________________________________ I What? I was 9 years old! Fortunes evolved and got a little silly: Front of fortune: _______________________________________________ I AVOID I I TAKING UNNECESSARY GAMBLES I I______________________________________________ I Back of fortune: _______________________________________________ I YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS I I 4 8 15 16 23 42 I I______________________________________________I What I would like to see: _______________________________________________ I I I OH CRAP!

I heart unfortunate fortune cookies, nuff said.... Pick up a nice size bag on the cheap, one of the better deals in the ID!! You need noodles? They got'em! In my youth we'd open the fortune cookie and add the words "in bed" to the end of each fortune, for giggles..... I.E. "You like Chinese Food....in bed." Duh! "You will find great fortune in the near future....in bed." OMG! I might have a new career!! "Accept the next proposition you hear....in bed." Sorry honey, cash only.... "You are a happy man....in bed." Like duh! Where's the remote... "Happiness is found when one is not looking...in bed." Honey this is Abby. Abby this is... "You will be the guest of a gracious host...in bed." SCH-WING! YEAH BABY! Ala Austin Powers.... read more

I'm lining up too! Everyone always calls this the fortune cookie place, but they have the best egg noodles, too! You buy em by the 5 or 10 lb box. Take 'em home and make the chinese version of pho! read more

One of my childhood favorites. I cannot believe I've been coming here for almost 30 years (moved away from Seattle as a child, was visiting for the weekend)! My mom was happy to hear they are still going strong as well. The storefront is on the corner of King and 8th (don't go to the listed Yelp address since that's the business side). You can get a giant bag (either 5lbs) for ~$7-8 of "unfortunately cookies," which are basically rejects. I got a 1x bag of flat chips for $2.25 and they have some smaller bags with fortunes that are sealed and good for sending as gifts/omiyage. You can also get fresh made noodles in the fridge off to the side. While the noodles are also tasty, I am just in awe of how great the cookies are. Cookies-wise, the taste of freshly made original/vanilla fortune cookies is amazing! Their ginger is also great and full of wonderful ginger flavor. Seriously, I cannot recommend trying these enough. After one try, you too may find yourself seeking them out years later. Sometimes the best things really don't need to change and I'm thankful that these cookies haven't!! read more

Tsue Chong - So worth eating gluten for! - Specialty Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love this place and have been going since I was a kid in the late 70s. My mother would stop by here for fresh noodles (my favorites are the "pig intestine" rolled noodles (literal translation from Cantonese - no pork involved), wide egg noodles, and the Sha Ho Fun (name on package, wide rice noodles, literally Small River Noodles) and wrappers for wonton and sui gow. When she wants to make her famous dried fried beef noodles (literal translation), this is where she gets the noodles. Although my parents think fortune cookies are Americanized, I knew fresh fortune cookies are the bomb and bought a bag home. Well, guess who was munching away on them once I took them home? Mom and dad. With the thin wonton wrappers, we made pot stickers using Alton Brown's veggie potsticker filling. Do note that they're on the delicate side for pot stickers but it worked anyway. read more

Five-star fortune cookies? Hell yeah. We bought a one-pound bag yesterday and it's almost gone today between three of us and our friends. That's how good they are and I usually throw away the cookies that come with takeout. They are so good that you should take them home to your friends as a souvenir from Seattle. They're are good for when you have the munchies. For when you have a good friend over. Great with tea. Great for late night study sessions. Bring them to a party, everyone will love you. And guys, I'm just talking about the disc-shaped fortune cookies that never made it to the fortune stage. The reject cookies are THAT GOOD! These cookies have the crisp snap of a gingersnap and a delicate flakiness, reminiscent of French pastries that shatter in your mouth. It smells and tastes like a freshly made waffle cone only much better. We picked up a one-pound bag thinking it would take us a long time to eat through (ha!) so I would definitely err on the side of more is better. The five-pound bag will run you around $8. We also got a bag of the lemon-flavored cookies and I'm pretty sure it's the flavor of lemon oil that shines through. It makes the cookies taste like the best lemon cake in the world, Sansa Stark would be a fan! They also make fresh noodles and wonton wrappers! read more

What snack do I bring to a staff meeting? Fortune Cookies. They're fun because you can share the fortune statements with your co-workers. I buy my fortune cookies at Tsue Chong Co. because it's cheaper at their warehouse rather than buying the same brand at Uwajimaya. I'll smell the sweet aroma of fortune cookies baking as I walk closer to the building. I enjoy looking at their ugly chipped flat cookies. Sure the bars on the windows and door look unappealing but don't let that keep you from walking in. It's an adventure. Go for it. read more

Tsue Chong - Specialty Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is perhaps the best kept secret in Seattle. Only true Seattlites will know about Tsue Chong. When you roll up the place looks closed, there are bars on the doors and they keep the light pretty low inside. Even if you venture inside, the shelves are half empty. Don't let this fool you, you are in for a treat. Tsue Chong factory produces a number of different items but really matters are their fortune cookies. They have two different types of fortune cookies for sale, they have flat cookies and the traditional cookies in various sizes at an absolute steal. The larger 1lbs bags will only set you back a few bucks. They sell the small traditional cookies in the packages that you will see at Uwajimaya various flavors such as almond and strawberry for under 2 bucks. I went around the holidays and they even had a gingerbread flavor. If you don't care about the shape of your cookies, I would recommend buying the "damaged" cookie bag where the broken cookies all get bundled up and sold at a ridiculous steal. These fortune cookies are on a whole different level. They are crisp and with each bite you get a punch of fragrance that isn't overpowering but just right. They have a slight sweetness to them but not overwhelming where you cant stand to eat more than a few. I can easily power through a 1bs bag. A few things to note: - They take both cash and credit with no minimum. - Be aware of their store hours as they have random closing hours and days off. read more

Nobody makes better fortune cookies (it's an American thing, funny) and rice noodles than the freshest place ever... Tsue Chong!!!! Yay! Not only do I love this place, but, well, I love this place!! I have been here on a school tour when I was in middle school--or was that elementary school? And we got to see how fresh everything was made. I love it and I appreciate it! I don't know who the heck invented fortune cookies in America, but they are darn good and these are the BEST. I refuse to eat cookies elsewhere! These also have the best fortunes lol. Their rice noodles are deliciously fresh/warm when they're made. PERFECT! Just the way rice noodles should be made. They make other noodles too, include the wonton ones I believe. They have minimal hours, I believe 10-5 on the weekdays, so make sure you come early. Definitely cheap, and worth every bit of your money. Noodles for a pack are like $2 or so. Their bag of fortune cookies are like $3... I can't remember. They also have the messed up fortune cookies for super cheap (a huge bag), like under $10 or about so. I've never had their other flavors, so I wouldn't know. But definitely something to keep in mind! Such fresh quality, and fresh all the time and super cheap. yay! read more

Tsue Chong - Ate them on the way home. - Specialty Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is old and run down but don't judge it from the looks of it. Besides that, This is my favorite brand of fortune cookies. I go here often with my mom when I'm in china town.

Tsue Chong - They have so many kind of flavors. Like vanilla, mocha, chocolate, strawberry, Pina colada, and ginger. - Specialty Food Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is amazing! They helped me customize some fortune cookies for a special occasion and it worked out absolutely perfect. Super super nice customer service. I never liked fortune cookies before until I tried one of these. They have their own unique flavor and even make different flavors!! I tried the Strawberry and Pina Colada. Both amazing! It's crazy how trying a freshly made fortune cookie would be so damn good. Highly recommend this place. Even if you don't like fortune cookies I think once you try this place you'll change your mind about them.. for sureee! read more

Tsue Chong's unassuming store front houses a well-known and highly reputable fortune cookie and noodle manufacturer. Plenty of people have given you the gist of the business - the cheap cookies, the seconds, over a dozen types of noodles, etc.; so I will give you my testimonial: My grandmother always used Tsue Chong's "Rose Brand" noodles for her pansit with great results and I still use them today. As much as I love those noodles, I am even more in love with their chow fun. Go here to buy them because they're the freshest and they keep them room temperature (which is key). A tip: you usually have to get the chow fun "speakeasy" style by asking for them at the counter. They're not always on display. Cheap - a pack runs about $2. As others wisely note: go early. They close before 3. read more

I spend a lot of Saturdays in the International District (ID). On a typical Saturday, I will pack up the family, pay for all day parking in a lot, and walk less than a block away to Tsue Chong. Yes, I make excuses to park nearby, whether it's the all day parking lot or the 2-hour street parking, I find a reason to get there. No matter what I'm doing in the ID, I always try to steer in that direction. I always try to go to Tsue Chong Co BEFORE I grab my lunch. I have learned that waiting until after lunch will cause any number of things to happen such as: - My parking will run out and I don't have time to stop. - Everyone else will have gotten there before me and bought EVERYTHING I wanted. - I will look at my watch and see that it is 2:03 PM (they close at 2:00 PM on Saturdays). I tell you the sins of my soul so that you may avoid my pitfalls and achieve fortune cookie enlightenment. Plus, if you get there in time, not only do you get fantastic fortune cookies, but also great noodles for dinner! read more

Came here after hearing about it from my guide at the Wing Luke museum. The place has bars on the outside and looks closed, but is likely open, so definitely check it out. It's nothing fancy, but the place has a lot of history. The people who work there (not sure if owners) are also incredibly nice. I only bought a single bag of mocha fortune cookies because I was traveling light, with only a backpack. Just tried it for the first time after landing back in DC and definitely wish I bought more! The cookies are thinner than ones I've had before, but have a much better texture because of it. It's also the perfect amount of sweetness. Doesn't get cloying. Definitely recommend checking out and buying some for yourself and for others as an unique, edible souvenir. read more

It's a factory, a factory full of fortune cookies. My mom used to get the flat cookies from here when we were little. We didn't care for the fortunes, mostly because I already know that 'I Like Chinese Food', and that 'Someone Thinks I'm Special'. They have the best fortune cookies ever, whether it's with fortunes or without. read more

$7.25 for a 5 pound bag of reject fortune cookies. Yes, you read that right - $7.25 for FIVE POUNDS of delicious (yet imperfect) fortune cookies! This place rocks!! My boyfriend and I have been munching on fortune cookies for weeks now - so addictive! This was easily the best purchase we've made in the last month. I highly recommend it. However, word to the wise: cash or check only at this place. I learned that the hard way! read more

Screw the misfortunate cookies I splurged and went for the real fortune cookies. I wanted green onion pancakes from Szechuan Noodle Bowl the other day; I found a parking spot not even a block away, SCORE! I step out of my car and am accosted by this sweet vanilla-y scent that all of a sudden made me want a waffle cone instead of green onion pancakes. I refocused and head into the Szechuan Noodle Bowl to place my order to go. My green onion pancakes are ready I head back outside and again I'm overwhelmed by the tasty smell of sweet vanilla I have to find out where it's coming from. I put my food in my car and look around; lo and behold I'm parked right in front of the Tsue Chong Co store this is where the yummy smell is coming from. I walk in and it's dark, hmm is it closed? I look around, not much in there, not even a person behind the counter. I check out the refrigerator section and see all kinds of fresh noodles but in 2 lb packs. Now I love me some fresh noodles but there was no way I could buy 2 lbs and eat them before they went bad or I got sick of them, please make smaller packages available Tsue Chong. Than I saw them fresh wonton wrappers. While I was home dying of the flu I watched one too many shows on the Food Network and saw where someone made ravioli using wonton wrappers and while on the couch decided one day I was going to try my own. So I grab a package of wrappers from the refrigerator and than grab some real fortune cookies and headed to the register where someone magically appeared out of thin air. The cookies were great so fresh and vanilla-y and tasty, loved them and full of fortunes some even came with two! The ravioli came out great and I have some left over wrappers so that I can make my own crab ragoons just as soon as I figure out how to fry them since I don't own a deep fryer. read more

If you've been in Seattle long enough and have had Chinese food, you're more than likely to have seen Tsue Chong's fortune cookies with their rose logo on their fortunes at the end of your meal. The retail shop is at the corner of S. King St. and 8th by the Wing Luke Museum. It's covered in bars, but don't let that deter you! Inside, you'll find delicious and cheap fortune cookies and freshly-made noodles! A small 4 ounce bag will run you nearly $2 and a pound of won ton wrappers will be not much more than that. I've used the won ton wrappers to make a crispy gau gee with ground pork, ginger, and water chestnuts, and it's just plain delicious! They also seem to have a steady supply of chow mein noodles, sui mei wrappers, and chow fun noodles. I think you can also customize your fortunes for the cookies if your heart so desires! The fortune cookies come in all different flavors: apple, pina colada, ginger, lemon (my favorite!), and mocha. Great snacks for Seahawks games! Credit cards are OK! read more

Do not be intimated by the metal bars that wrap around this sweet spot! Tsue Chong Co. aka Rose Brand also cranks out chow mein noodles, won ton and assorted wrappers that the local Chinese restaurants use. I do a drive-by and pick up a sack of the saucer "mistake" fortune cookies. Cash only, of course. I eat it like senbei. I don't need the actual fortune, for my recreational snacking. It is stupid cheap! No need to go buy it at Uwajis, unless you're traveling and need that plastic tub container. The strips of fortunes only get in the way, and itemizes how much damage I caused. I think a jaded employee snuck a special fortune in one I got recently said, "you won't be laughing when you get the bill." ?!? ...Awkward. read more

Don't get confused - they often LOOK like they're closed because of the bars on the windows, but they're open most days. The wholesale business entrance is on the corner of King & 8th, but the average customer entrance is on Jackson. Tsue Chong is the best place to buy fortune cookies and noodles - they're cheap and always delicious. They also sell "unfortunate" cookies (the flat ones that didn't make it) in 5lb bags for a super discounted price. I sometimes pick up a bag and they last as a snack at the office for weeks. read more

"Your ideas will be totally acceptable." I hope so, because my idea today was to pick up 5 lbs of unfortune cookies. The cookies are fresh and light, and great for noshing on with a big mug of tea, for when it gets chilly out. I like that they sell these for cheap instead of just getting rid of them. They don't go to waste, and they satisfy the cravings for people who decide that they need 5 lbs of deformed fortune cookies in their life. read more

Stopped by here when I was in Chinatown this afternoon. It's only $7.25 for a large bag of the unfortunate fortune cookies, and $2.25 for the small bag. Keep some at home for yourself and bring the rest to work. Go for the bag with the darker cookies for the most flavor. Love their fortune cookies! read more

My mother took my sister and me here as a treat when we were growing up. Nothing flashy, but it's not supposed to be. All the love is put into the cookies. Fresh and reasonably priced. Secret Squirrel tip: When the shelves are empty, they may have rice noodles in the back room. Just ask. read more
