Here I present this mouth watering delicious tradition food from China!! It's called "Dry Hotpot Spicy Shrimp", the common ingredients are: * Fresh jumbo shrimp * Chili pepper * Sliced potato * Short ribs * Scallions * Garlic Very flavorful, all the spices are coated on every ingredient!! They are normally served in a hot pot, hearing all the sizzling as they are brought on your table. If you haven't tried them, let's gooooooooo. They only open for to-go now and no dine-in ever since Covid. But I used to dine in here quite often and I appreciate their tradition Asian decorations in the spacious dining room with tables and booths. Dear parking lot can park properly 8-10 cars, pretty enough.

I've never dined in, but heard they do a daily to-go combos which consists of 3 items for a set price. Menu choices change daily and they post it on social media. I only hear about them in a local foodie group on another platform. We tried them for the first time about 6 months ago, and did not like any of the dishes. I recall it being pretty bland and underwhelming. Recently, their combo came with 3 items that I'm familiar with and like, so we gave them another try. Beef in satay sauce: Flavor was decent, veggies were good but the beef was tough and overcooked. String beans: Good flavor but the beans didn't have the crunch other places have. Spicy fish (Szechuan, I believe) No heat at all, and the flavor was definitely on the mild side. Orders are usually placed the night before. I'm not sure how many orders they limit it to but they do post on social media that they're sold out. For me personally, I feel the food is just OK and probably won't crave it any time soon but still, they seem to be quite popular. So give them a try if you like, and support a local business.

Although it is not open for internal use due to the epidemic, it will not affect the quality of the meals at all, and the price is affordable. Whether it is rice or noodle dishes, they are all very authentic. Several signature dishes are delicious with meals. I often call first Make an order, and then come to pick up the meal, hoping to have the opportunity to resume dine-in

We have been eating their food every week for a few years now. Whoever the chef is here is truly amazing. I think he's the owner too. The food even tastes good as leftovers. We order the to go combo with a smaller size rice. So many things are delicious. It's only to go, so don't expect to eat here or care about service or ambiance. Just come, give cash, and pickup. Parking is easy. Most importantly, the food is amazing and I still wanna eat it every week.

Since pandemic this restaurant has been online order via LINE messenger apps for weekly preset menu for now. Great seafood , Pork Shank and variety of vegetables dishes . To avoid sold-out situation highly recommend order in advance.

They charge $2 to use credit card and don't take Apple Pay. Also there is no seating so this is just a take out place. The info on Yelp is incorrect or misleading. Otherwise their food is decently priced!

Worst Asian restaurant "ALL AROUND"! Don't waste your time trying to call! Bad attitude over the phone. They must think: Customer will die without eating or ordering from their restaurant!

Does anyone know who owns this restaurant? They should be aware that the woman working the front door discriminates and is very rude and flat out lies. I would give no stars but you have to give one to post a review

I hate to be the person to post a negative post but I saw this place while working and it caught my eye. Looked it up on Yelp and saw mapo tofu. I've been looking for this dish everywhere. I tried ordering online and was not available at the moment, I drove to restaurant and got there an hour before closing, I walked in to try and order and there was a language barrier. Three Asian ladies were there and they were very rude, not even trying to provide service. One lady was even choking shooing me away. More than upsetting, it was saddening to experience that, I felt humiliated. I will not be going back to this place.

I have gone to this place 3 times to place a to go order. The first time I was told it would be 30 min before she would even take my to go order. Second time she flat out told me they were closed even though I arrived at 1:30p and closing time was 2:30p (all the while loading a van full of food). My third and final attempt, she again said it would be a long wait which she could not tell me how long. Not sure how they stay in business but I'll take my business else where.

We used to come here for dinner before the pandemic and were happy to learn that they have been offering prix fixe menus at $30 (weekdays) and $40 (weekends). They've been doing this since the lock down over a year ago. We've ordered many times but I always forget to take pictures. Today I remembered to take pictures before we started eating. The menu choices are usually 3 dishes consisting of one meat dish and two vegetable dish, a canister of soup (32 oz), plus two small containers of white rice. Good portion for a family of 4 people. The owners are very thoughtful when they are designing the menu. They post weekly menus in social media.

I should really give them one star, but people seem to like the food, although I don't think I'll ever know. Yesterday I went to order and at 1:30 they said they were closed, even though the door was open. They said they had too many orders, but they don't close until 2:30. Finally, she agreed to take my order, but then said they only accept cash and I didn't have enough with me. Today, I went earlier, 1:00, and had cash. They said they'd take my order, but it wouldn't be ready for over an hour. So I asked when is a good time to go. They said they're always busy, but maybe I can call. But they don't have any to go menus and they barely speak English. Not sure how that's supposed to work.
