This is for delivery only. My favorite items here are the wonton soup, all the soups are so good, . Orange chicken. Moo shu chicken, chicken and vegetable. If you live in the area, delivery is fast and everything arrives Very hot and delicious. I recommend it for delivery.

I accidentally ordered from here a second time through door dash by mistake and once again I have paid the price. Do not believe the 5 star reviews on Yelp, they are dead wrong!! I can't believe this place is in business. The king pao chicken is sweet and meat is rubbery, yuck!!!! After 20 minutes of eating the chicken I puked my guts out entirely. I am shivering cold and sweating trying to recuperate. I just puked my guts out ordering from Here. It is the most disgusting food I ever had from any resturaunt. Don't make the mistake of reading the Yelp reviews and then make a decision to proceed, don't do it!! Don't waste your time!! Run for your life!! My pain your gain. You have been warned.

I used to drive all the way to Torrance to go to this restaurant called Seafood Port but daaaaaaaayum! This restaurant blew me away! First off, the place is super clean, chill vibe. The food was impressive. The salt & pepper pork is a must try! I'm so stuffed and it won't cost you an arm and a leg like other Chinese restaurants. The service was exceptional! Yuliya is the best! She went above and beyond! Looooove this restaurant!!!!!!

Service is great and food is even better. Generous on the portions too. It's really nice to sit and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant off the BLVD.

Ordered to go. Chicken was inedible. Threw entire order away. Chicken was very tough, with no flavor.

Good food, great sweet and sour soup. It wasn't too busy the past few times I went there. I like it busier

Mainly I want to have a taste of Chinese food here, and occasionally I miss the taste of my hometown. I don't know how to share or comment on it.

The food was very very good, but not quite perfect. 1 regular portion was enough for 2 decently hungry people. Our waitress who served us was extremely polite and checked up on us multiple times to see if we needed anything. The food came much quicker than I expected. The Thai Tea they had was amazing and I’m not sure if I’ve had any Thai tea that was better. Overall a great location, a little bit hidden but still very good.

This place is my favorite Chinese restaurant in LA, food is delicious, service is great, ambiance is clean and the decoration is so fancy and beautiful. I am a DIM SUM lover, their dim sum menu is verity and I had tried all types of dim sum, dumplings are the best of the best. After you try it out, you gonna love it. No doubt! Highly recommended!

What makes this Chinese Restaurant better than all the other Chinese Restaurants in the Valley area of Lake Balboa is that this Chinese Restaurant has DIM SUM!!! Lots of Dumpling varieties. This restaurant also has a lot of Variety in the Menu too. My favorite dishes are the Chow Mein, I like how you use the thin noodles & do the Crispy "Bird Nest" style to those Chow Mein. Restaurant environment: plenty of room, good parking space, excellent service. Now for further suggestions to improve your restaurant, since your menu includes Dim Sum, could you please do like a "Traditional Chinese" Dim Sum serving way? In other words, server with cart with those Dim Sum Cylindrical Steam Plates & do it during "Traditional Dim Sum Serving Hours" of morning until Lunch period. As for Dim Sum, please also include Chicken Feet in your Dim Sum Menu. It's great to have a Dim Sum place in the valley, that way I don't have to commute & stuck in traffic all the way to Alhambra or Chinatown to get Dim Sum. Though, I feel the Dim Sum could have been better in terms of able to compete with the Alhambra Dim Sum or Chinatown Dim Sum by try to make it more "Traditional Dim Sum" if you can. Overall, great Chinese Restaurant. Definitely will be returning in the future for more. 4/5 from me.
