Service was great but the food was horrible. To much oil and tasted like fish. We had Mongolian beef. No beef taste to it swimming in oil. Got an upset stomach that lasted all night.

Service Ok at best, even during an extremely dead time with only 2 other tables occupied.Definitly catering to older local clientele.Food and the ingredients that make it up are very poor quality & taste.If you want to play pool in a chinese restaraunt, and/or your tastebuds don't work anymore because you didn't want "the jab" then I'm sure you'll love it.But, I've had better chinese from a frozen $3 box.

My mother used to take me here when I was young and it was always my favorite Chinese food to eat. I came back recently for the first time in 15 years and everything was just how I remember it. Their recipes are fantastic and their staff is perfectly attentive. I cannot begin to express how delicious the egg drop soup was, as well as the rest of the meal. My girlfriend and I ate like royalty with enough food leftover for 2 more meals. We only spent $45! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for the wonderful meal, fantastic service and trip down memory lane. I look forward to returning soon.

This place is a hidden gem. We took my mom for lunch on lunar new year and we were the only ones in the dining room. The service was spot. The food is reminiscent of the amazing Cantonese cuisine you can get back on the East coast. Egg drop soup, sweet and sour pork, crab puffs and General Tso's chicken were stand outs. The restaurant's decor took me back to the late 80's early 90's, a total vibe. Mesa you're missing out. If I lived closer I'd be here all the time.

I was so disappointed that 'fried rice' doesn't mean what it used to mean at this restaurant. They charged me $1.50 to select fried rice over white rice, but there's nothing to it but a few drops of soy sauce added. I remember fried rice always included mixed vegetables and scrambled eggs. However, this is the second Asian restaurant attempting to save money and now fried rice DOES NOT include either but maybe soy sauce for a flavor. In the late 60's and in to the early 2020's, I used to be able to find authentic fried rice. This is not the case anymore. I will stop patronizing restaurants who cheat me out of what I requested.

I've been coming to this spot for over 10 years. The food is always hot and fresh, fast service open seating from booth to tables. Great place to stop in and try out some lunch specials or dine for dinner. Serving up family style portions. Vibe is very casual with a small bar located inside separate from dining area.

This is a great neighborhood place for fresh delicious Chinese food. I love the shrimp chow mein, egg drop soup and wontons. The dining room is traditional Chinese decor. There is a bar on the other side where you can listen to music, watch the game, play pool or darts. Nicky the owner/bartender is warm and adorable. She really makes the place welcoming. I love this place suey much!
