It appears to be one of those Chinese restaurants that have been around for a long while, and it has. I ate here previously a few years ago, and it was because of that experience that I decided to have another go. This experience turned out differently because I ordered something other than what I had intended. Because they had Sambal Oelek and soy sauce as condiments, I noticed they had an old favorite on the menu – BBQ Pork with egg over rice. Let’s just say that for me, this is a winning combination, and it worked well in this case. Although this dish is common, many places usually don’t have sambal oelek, or chili oil, which can liven up any plain dish. Otherwise, this place is a nice, small Chinese restaurant that serves good food.

This is a place you come to for convenience and decent food. It’s not one you make a trip from crosstown to eat. The food is cheap and good. I live in the neighborhood and this is the place I go to when I have a craving for Chinese food and don’t want to travel far. I usually order the beef chow fun. They have a buffet style display for combination plates. There is seating for Dine-in as well. There isn’t much of an atmosphere. It’s your hole-in-the-wall kind of decor but it’s clean. Street parking is usually available.

Have ordered here since the old owners. The food prices are the same, don’t know why everyone is complaining about the food price. And they are doing special events for dry-fried ribs recently which I recommend personally. The new owners did not change the price and the menus on the board.

Been coming here for years and the prices have definitely gone up too high for the portions and quality of the food you receive. Chicken fried rice used to be one of my favorites but it’s skimpy on the egg and veggies and chicken is in huge chunks that needs to be smaller and the same thing for the chow mein. I ordered fried prawns and OMG they were twice fried and was dry and horrible. Basically they didn’t sell them earlier and when I ordered them they fried them again EWWW!! I didn’t notice it till I got home. I’m gonna be looking for me a new Chinese food spot.

First visit for take out. I’ve driven by this place for years and always think “I wonder how the food is? It’s my kinda place. Not fancy, mom and pop, take out only. There are not many close by options in the neighborhood for good Chinese food. PF chang’s is great but $20 for an order of fried rice? Pfft.
