Always delicious. Excellent portions. Reasonably priced. A small restaurant, across the parking lot from Stater Brothers, and family-owned I believe. They take pride in their food.Vegetarian options: EggplantCream Cheese Won TonFish (?)String BeansVegetable Chop SueyEgg Foo YongSoup optionsDietary restrictions: I’m able to avoid gluten, hot peppers, even red meat if I choose certain dishes such as their eggplant (very tasty), vegetable chop suey, mushroom chicken, green beens or fish patties (so good!)Parking: Excellent.Kid-friendliness: Nice simple atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: My observation is that it has wheelchair access.It’s a relatively small space though

Small decent fast Chinese food across from Fountain Valley Regional Hospital. My dad loved their Orange chicken and always wanted to stop by after a doctor's appointment. Crazy deal on Monday $2.99 for many a la carte items. Nice patient employees take the time to explain everything to my dad.

Ima business owner and i would never !

The food is great, portions are great. However when I came in one night, the cashier woman at the front was eating a bowl of food at the front counter... right over the displayed food in the trays that is served to customers. She wasn't even hiding it, and there were customers sitting down and eating there. If this is what they are willing to show the public, who knows what goes on in the kitchen (I peered through from outside door and saw the kitchen staff eating also). On previous occasions I have seen her on her phone and not wash her hands before serving us. While I have always liked the food, I can't risk coming back. That was gross.

Never coming back. 2nd time that i encountered raw chicken. Staff seems irritated and unfriendly. Not cheap and will wont risk getting food poison.

Not bad for simple tasty inexpensive Chinese food. $7.99 for 1 meat item with noodles or fried rice. Could be hotter if server stirred food in the steamer table more often but it was ok. No fountain drinks or iced tea, only canned sodas for $1.49

Generous portions of tasty Chinese food. Some of the items are not really Chinese food like the cream cheese filled fried wontons, but tastes good. The teriyaki chicken and broccoli beef are staples. Their catering trays are a good value if you have a lot of mouths to feed. They cook it to order. I get catering for church youth group and it's a looked-forward-to meal. Most people come for the point and scoop, Seems like a lot of food piled high.

If you're expecting to get a customary heaping Chinese fast food serving you will be greatly disappointed. This place used to be generous with their servings but it has really gone down through the years. The prices have gone the opposite direction though.The menu selections have remained the same. The usual favorites, sweet and sour pork, teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, pork barbecue, egg foo young are still available. There are items that are made to order also. No soup is not included with the combo meals nor egg rolls.I got the 1-item combo (A), fried pork with chow mein. Combo A is now $7.99. It was good but the food was not really fresh. I went for a late lunch, 2pm and the place was empty.I would say it is still a good bargain since you will probably pay the same amount going to a fast food. Just think, $3.99 for a hash brown at McDonald's. At least you wouldn't be sitting with the homeless hanging around at the next table.Vegetarian options: There are items on the menu that are "no-meat" items but I wouldn't guarantee it qualifies as vegetarian.Parking: Strip mall parking, very busy.

Overall, food is good but not great because it's really oily. Also, the older asian lady needs to put on a mask when serving food. I saw her accidently spited into the food while taking orders, please put on a mask if you can't control your spits while talking. The food is authentic chinese food since the owners are from China, however there are better Chinese restaurants nearby.

I came here super hungry after a nice walk at Mile Square Regional Park across the street. I was debating between Waba Grill and this place, so I opted for some legit local Chinese fast food. It's a tiny place with a few tables, steam trays of entrees and a small fridge to buy drinks. While it's cash only, be prepared to have at least a $10 bill to satisfy one meal or have a few 1s or 5s in hand. (For party tray orders, have your 20s ready). It's fairly cheap because it was a little over $8 for a two-item combo. I opted for their Combo B (two items): Chow Mein with Orange Chicken and Chicken with Mixed Vegetables. Despite their busyness, the owner's son was still very attentive to their customers. They were busy in the kitchen preparing party tray orders and filling up the remaining food on the steam trays before they close for the day. In terms of their food, their portions were generous for a full meal. I am fond of their chow mein because it was flavorful and not too greasy. I really like the sweetness and crunchy texture of their orange chicken. Thankfully it was not spicy (unlike Panda Express) and it was not too sweet. The chicken with mixed vegetables was kinda cold (probably because it was sitting there for an hour or so) but at least it was still savory and satisfied my vegetable fix. I will come back here again, especially if I'll be craving some quick and tasty Chinese fast food.
