Heard about this place on Instagram. Had to stop by and try the salt and pepper wings. Delicious. Got some noodles too and they gave us some rice.

Nice people, good food, great customer service. Restaurant is clean. 5 stars.

Went there for the first time tonight and it was amazing! The portions are HUGE so prepare for an entree to work for 2 people! We got hot and sour soup (the medium size was a LOT for being medium but worth it!) The salt and pepper wings were awesome and had a wonderfully crispy skin and we got orange chicken and sweet and sour pork 10/10 :)

I've grabbed food from here a few times. I think even for West Coast standards, the food is just not great. I've typically ordered the same things each time I've gone and it's almost always cooked differently. Staff is very nice though and the food comes out quickly
