Disclaimer: I am from the east coast and west coast Chinese food does not taste the same to me.I only had their version of the salt & pepper wings and fried rice. Both tasted great. The chicken tasted better and was crispier, to me, than the more popular restaurant frequented by the military. The fried rice was flavorful and a good size for two people to eat.The restaurant was clean but was definitely out dated. Luckily I was there for the food not for interior design.CON: they accept cash only, limited parkingPRO: Good food, seems like a "local secret" so not super busy

Cash ONLY! I wish I would've seen this before I walked in. It was not a pleasant experience. The food was bland, fried chicken appetizer. Also ordered a luncheon special. Very very skimpy on the meat. Mostly rice and chow mein. it seemed like the bill was high. So I asked and found out that they charge for to go containers. $1.95 each, for Styrofoam containers, (aren't they illegal now?). This place has potential to serve good food and yet I didn't receive anything that I would repeat or speak highly of.

I've been coming to this place for over 30 years. The egg drop soup is the best. Their chicken chop suey is so good!! I haven't found a place that I can say has better food. They don't take card so make sure you take cash.

I came by as I hit up Barkada beer across the way and needed a fried rice fix. This spot takes cash only. I did a chicken fried rice order to go and it was filling and pretty good. I didn't find much grease on it so it either they cook this with a healthy fix or they didn't add much cooking oil to it. Either way I'd be interested in trying their other menu items at some point.

The service was fast. The waitress was super nice. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I got the dinner order and it was a ton of food.
