I ordered a wonton soup and beef veggies. They turned out much better than I expected. Foods taste fresh and not light. Definitely will come back.

Not many of these little family owned fast Chinese food spots left in this area. They were welcoming and quick to serve me food. Highly recommended! Way better than Panda Express.

10 out 5 stars! It's crazy that this place doesn't have a better rating! The staff is SUPER friendly. The food was fresh, they were bringing it out freshly made. This Chinese food is so much better that any Chinese takeout in the Bay Area. It tastes fresh, not at all oily, has great flavor! The chicken is perfectly breaded and savory sauce for the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork! Aside from this, the restaurant itself is super clean! Would 10/10 recommend!!

Good place. I didn't eat the standard items that were in the daily menu, but ordered a kung pao tofu off menu for pickup. The man was so sweet, asking how long I wanted it in, bc he wanted to make it fresh, and not sit around and get cold. It is a small business / I like supporting places where I can feel the hard work, love and passion of the people. Since I have work in the area for the next few weeks, I'm going to make it my go-to spot.

I love the place and the price is affordable and they give a good portion of Wonton, chicken, and bbq pork. It is like I had before in Hong Kong before I move here! The owner speaks Cantonese which is awesome and he is so nice! The environment is great and quiet.
