“Small, take out only, mom and pop dim sum hidden gem!! Good prices, super fast service, and the best dim sum i’ve had in the SGV so far. All of the items had HUGE fillings-the biggest and fattest shu mai i’ve ever had. Chive dumpling had the thinnest most see through wrapper. Loved the egg tarts they were super soft, flakey, and the filling was still soft and jiggly but set perfectly. The pineapple egg yolk buns were incredible too. Everything seasoned well. You can tell they know what they’re doing. The only minor comment is that the shrimp rice roll wrapper was a little thick but not honestly a big deal. 5 stars absolutely must try if you love dim sum!!!

Bring cash!! They accept card but charge a small fee.“

“Last minute stop for a burrito. Initially it was a bit hard to find but it’s a small restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic. Asked them if they were able to make a breakfast burrito in the middle of the afternoon. Great service. Chorrizo burrito was a decent size. Set me back $14 and came with a side of chips which was a nice surprise.

The only thing I would say about this restaurant that kinda sucked was the parking. Looks like they share the parking lot with an auto body shop. Other than that, the food was as authentic as it gets.“

“Great food and selection, at an amazing price!
You can’t beat this place in terms of quality & value. More of a “hole in the wall” place, but also a nostalgic retro throwback to the “good old days”, when you can still purchase a decent Pho Noodle soup and/or a Banh-Mi meal (with a boba milk-tea or coffee drink) for a reasonable price; reminiscent of the pre-covid, pre-inflation and (sadly) pre-governmental tariffs of the current peculiar times.“
