Food good. Service good. Ambiance good. However, don't look in the kitchen when walking to the restroom.
Came here on Christmas Day with group of seven. It was my first time and the place was big with many tables and booths. The service was good and friendly. We ordered: - Chinese Green in Supreme Soup - Salt Pepper Pork Ribs - Salted w/ Tofu - Fried geoduck - Geoduck veggie mix - Lobster w/ garlic noodles
My favorite was the salted chicken w/ tofu - perfect savory sauce on rice. The day was going great until the last moment. As I made my way to the restroom, which was not the greatest cleaning, kitchen is open to look when walking down the hallway. Lets just say I am on fence to go back here after seeing that kitchen. While most of us are not surprised since traditional asian restaurant, kitchen could still be better. Now I'm curious whats really salted in my favorite dish...

Found this gem of a restaurant on Christmas for dinner. We ordered the chicken in black bean sauce and the pan fried lamb chops w basil. Both were outstanding. The lamb chops tasted as good as rack of lamb at a high end restaurant. Smothered in tasty onions and basil for a subtle burst of flavor. The chicken was smothered in black bean sauce with red and green peppers. Delightful!

This place has the Trifecta of low prices, big portions and zero as ambiance. Come here if you want decent food at rock bottom pricing. It's loud, crowded and lacks any elegance, but if that's what you want, this place delivers. I came for lunch and they served my black bean fish quickly with unlimited rice, and a huge bowl of broth.. too much for a solo lunch, but at $11.00, it was as cheap as a Mcd's value meal!

Weirdest experience...I think I was a victim of discrimination.
I was seated but ignored. Everyone else who walked in was serviced - they were Asian.
The food was ok - nothing to be missed as I won't return.

The parking lot is tight and can get packed during peak hours. Where cars coming out are stuck as cars trying to find spot are in a gridlock. The lunch special is a great deal with lots of dishes to choose from. Portion varies, some dishes are super generous, some dishes are small, some are dishes are average in terms of portions. Since the lunch deal is very affordable we tend to order a few extra dishes instead for more variety. This restaurant can accommodate large groups or big tables so sometimes smaller group will have to wait longer. This is mainly because the larger Chinese group also have seniors most of the time with mobility issues, so the waiting sequence is not always first come first serve. The soup of the day is generous in portions and piping hot. Most customers will take the to go boxes and plastic bag themselves in the shelves with drawers instead of asking for the waiters. Overall, the service can be slow as the number of waiters versus number of tables ratio is quite overwhelmingly understaffed. Even the cashier/manager is working on the floor during peak hours. So be very patient.

Food is good, price is fair with very unstable portion size. They sometimes serve you at regular portion size while they sometimes do XS. Don't expect them to deliver what you order even when it is not at peak hours, don't expect them to assist you to be seated before another group of the same or similar size who come later than you do. The only point of dining here is really just having fairly tasty food, which is not anything better than elsewhere around the area, for an affordable price.

Ordered Ginger Scallion HK Grouper and Crisp and Salty Trotter. Turned out the grouper had only leftover scraps and fins that tasted fishy. Trotter was not freshly roasted; had to have undergone secondary heating.
Lodged complaint with management. The answer was that customers have to bear with random divisions. Did not pursue the matter and left without tips.
Realizing there was no tip, the receptionist had the guts running out and catching us up for tips. We explained, and were sure he knew the reason. Astonishingly, he argued that the kitchen and management were two separate entities. There was no fault on the part of management. Hence management deserved tips. The audacity and sickness!

Food quality is good. Price is just right for a family style eatery when all others raised theirs. Noisy !

My wife and I popped in MJ Valley Restaurant on. Weekday for lunch, a popular Chinese restaurant with a curious name and a long line to match. Their lunch specials are incredibly affordable, with over 100 dishes under $13. My personal favorite is the fried whole fish — crispy on the outside, tender on the inside — and the stir-fried string beans with minced pork, a comforting classic done right.
The wait was about 30 minutes, and while service was fast, it wasn’t especially friendly — pretty typical of many traditional Chinese spots. This location has changed hands several times, but hopefully, this version will last. It’s not a huge place, but it seats about 100 and delivers great value for the price. A satisfying reminder that even in a simple meal, there’s grace to be found.

The food prices are great here, but the service is horrible. We asked for to go boxes. Instead of giving them to us, they gestured to the wall. They didn't even look at us. We asked for help to take pictures, when 2 workers told us they didn't have time for that. The food was OK. The mapo tofu had this spicy sour taste.

The beef in szechuan spicy was ok. It did not seem spicy, but it was ok. They do not have drink options here. Only water and soda☹️. I got a Sprite and a water with ice drink here.
