11am-5pm Daily Lunch Special with rice and soup. Our favorite simple Canto LUNCH SPECIAL restaurant, and just takeout Chinese restaurant overall!! Its not the best, but quality is decent, and they have the variety I like.
Depending on what you order, it can be oily, especially the dishes we ordered this time. This visit, it felt like Chinese fast food but better quality. Maybe it was a different chef today? Many places offer too much meat, become a carbo load place, or it's just more mainland China taste and dishes. This place is typical OG Canto lunch specials. They give alot of meat and veggies.
Lunch special prices: 1. Pan fried String Beans with Minced pork $12.99 3. Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce $12.99. Forgot this dish here is too oily and soggy for us. 29. Beef with Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce $14.99. We've been trying to get into the bitter melon life for better health. 32. Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce $14.99. 57. Preserved Vegetable with Pork Intestine $15.99. Will order again because we love intestine. They give alot. We ordered to a certain point where lobster was an additional deal for us...$30 lobster. Lunch Special soup is always the typical light version. Rice is typical, nothing special, nothing bad.
This visit, we ordered pretty oily items. In previous visits we ordered different dishes. Lettuce and tofu, and shredded bamboo tofu fungus we're not for us last time. We're not into sweet and sour dishes, sweet, spare ribs but we have tried it here; it's not for us but good for those who usually like those dishes. I'll probably order the house special dish (lotus, sausage, fungus), seafood crispy chow mein, crispy intestine, walnut shrimp, jelly fish again.
I'm not a fan of the new popular fad of Canto breakfast specials around 626 SGV. My mom loves deals and loves lunch special...but I think her social circle has changed (with age too) to breakfast special.
We also order (full price) takeout too.

Went for Father's day, got 4 items Item 1: black peppered beef (forgot what it was called on the menu but that's the gist of what it was) Item 2: chicken (I assume it was Hainan style chicken but it tasted like it was just boiled/steamed and it came with some aromatics emulsed in oil for a sauce.) Item 3: Fried squid with spicy salt (tasty for what it was but was unevenly seasoned) Item 4: Bean curd with fried scallop and Abalone sauce (came with some broccoli and was by far the best item of all of them) Each item seems to come with an order of rice.
Each item in the menu was approximately $12-$22 dollars with the majority of the food items ranging from $17-$22. This excludes drinks and deserts.
When it comes to the food, I cannot recommend Items 1 and 2 at all. Item 2 was especially problematic given the ratio of meat provided to bones. Either they have used a tiny chicken or something weird is happening with the chicken. You can get better quality food of that description in most other Chinese restaurants even on the same street. Item 3 is recommended because it was fried well and was very tasty with rice. Item 4 was the highlight of everything that was ordered. Bean curd was fried well and paired with the sauce perfectly all of which is highlighted when consumed with the rice.
Parking lot was of good size so unless there is a lot of people eating there at the time of your arrival you should easily find parking.
Wait time after ordering the food was a bit long for my group but considering the restaurant was full and I enjoyed at least some of the food moreso than what I have had at other establishments of this cuisine I found it tolerable.
Parking: The restaurant has a parking lot of decent size I didn't bother counting the numbers of parking spaces but it had a good amount considering the size of the restaurant.

We came here for a group dinner and they offer a private room setting. The food is 潮汕style from Southern China, so they have lots of seafood in the menu such as fresh water shrimp, scallop. They also have pig stomach soup which sounds weird but really tasty!

This place has great authentic tasting Chinese food. Not many places can match up to this place. I'd have to say it's my favorite place for Chinese food in all of Los Angeles. Must trys are Hong Kong style lobster, fried cod fish filet, French style beef, string beans with black bean sauce. You won't go wrong with any dish here. Definitely give it a try.
