The food here is alright, not exceptional, it's more like the kind of food you would order for take out but instead of take out, you're eating in.I know it's customary to tip in the US but my gosh our server really urged us to tip her. Was kind of a turn off. Other than that, everyone was nice.

This eatery is hidden and old school. Besides the dodger nostalgia and the great customer service, food was okay.

The parking lot is very small. The Chinese Food is the best that I have ate in 40 years. There are a lot of people that place orders in person to pick up and come to place orders in person. You may ask questions about the different dishes and the waitress will answer. The portions are large and delicious to eat. The booth was comfortable to sit in. The atmosphere was average. I was to impressed by the delicious food I was eating!!

Been going to this restaurant for over 40 years and telling lots of people about in the past, but just the other day I went and got there at 5:45 which is 1/2 hour before closing time. The first thing the waitress tells us, after bringing the menus was, “you better hurry up and order because we close in 1/2 an hour” The only reason I didn’t get up and leave was because my friend really wanted to go eat there since she had not been there for a while. They shouldn’t serve people after 5:30 if they’re going to hurry you up or not let you in after that time. Service has really gone down hill

Came shopping to DTLA with my sister. We didn't even know that we were heading into a Chinese restaurant. Their tea was good, not too bitter, soup was a little bland but pleasant. Ordered the house fried rice and Kung Pao Chicken both were decent. Would I ever go out of my way to come back? No, but not bad.
