Nothing fancy just average good Chinese food. Average price. Good amount of food. Food comes out fast. Typical Asian waitress so don't be surprised to get that moody sass. That they blame on the busyness. They were busy but not that busy ?

Don't like this place. Food is not authentic, don't taste good either. Waitress is not responsive. Won't go there again.
Pretty decent food, only one of a few places in Newark you can find clams with black bean sauce. They also have a spinach with garlic stir fry that is very nice.

My family likes going here for our Chinese food cravings. Not sure why, the food is just ok. We got the Beef Stew and the meat was kind of dry and the sauce (or lack of) was pasty. My favorite was the String Beans with Ground Pork though - that had a lot of flavor! Beef Chow Fun was decent too. I would probably get those dishes again for sure.

The customer service needs to better. Especially for the lady with the short bob haircut, she needs to work on that. When I asked if I can pay for my takeout order while it was still being prepared, she just gave me an annoyed look and walked away. A quick yes or no answer would have sufficed. Eventually I was able to pay, but I wish I had a better experience. She was definitely not acting like a good neighbor. Food is good but I will not be going back!

Ordered sizzling rice soup, green beans and a braised tofu dish. While wife was in the bathroom, I starting ordering, not knowing that she had already ordered and the waitress made a point to tell me that ordering any green bean dish would cost a dollar more due a shortage of green beans. That seemed kind of odd since the first thing I noticed when we sat down was a giant box of fresh green beans sitting on a table no more than 10 feet away from our table. When I relayed my experience to my wife, she said the waitress didn't mention that at all to her. Ok, so after this weirdness, we waited for our order.After an extended period of time, the sizzling rice soup arrived. When the waitress poured the rice into the soup, I knew right away the rice was not hot since the whole idea of sizzling rice soup is that the rice is supposed to be scorching hot so that when it is dropped into the soup, it makes a nice hissing noise. Not only was the rice not heated up, the soup itself was barely lukewarm. I called the waitress over to fix this issue. A few more minutes later and the green bean dish and tofu dish arrived. Neither could remotely be considered hot.

Great fresh and tasty food! I've had their salt and pepper chicken many times and it's one of my favorite dishes to order from here. It's located away from the busy mall areas so the parking here is so easy. We ordered the fried rice, salt and pepper chicken and the beef, onions, soup and hot tea. This was a ton of food, plenty for leftovers abd the bill was less that forty dollars. These days, that is a bargain!
Nice place to eat in the east bay...
