This is a bare bones, basic Chinese food place. My husband loves it. He always says that the portions are more than generous. He also doesn't get indigestion after eating their food which is a good thing. They no longer allow you to eat inside so it is only for delivery or carry out. The people who work there are super friendly and the prices are reasonable.
I have been going to this place since I worked out at the Port of Oakland, as a dockworker and processor back in 2009. My go to items are always: Prawn fried rice, Singapore Rice noodles and Dried Fried Ribs. Some of their hrs have been reduced, due to the activity in the area at times, basically for safety, and other factors. Will keep patronizing the place, as along as they are open for business.
Best takeout in Oakland 🤗 Food is made to order so there is a reasonable wait time. Flavor and texture is great every time at a fair price point.
Gave us no fortune cookies even though its in the name. No option to order them either. Food is decent though.

This is my go-to in West Oakland. They're fast, like really really really really fast. The food is excellent. I've tried a lot of the menu and have yet to find anything that I really didn't like. I can call this place walk downstairs get into my car and drive there and the food's ready when I walk through the door. At lunch time they have combos that are super affordable and filling. I really love the orange chicken.

I haven't even pulled off from in front of the location because I wanted to make sure that I left my review so I didn't forget and while it was fresh on my mind I didn't even make it home before trying some of my food because it smells so delicious.So it was a little bit disappointed because outside the place doesn't look that great so I was nervous about whether the food was going to be good or not because outside but this is why they say do not judge a book by its cover. They do not have steam tray anymore but they have rice plates which you can either get steamed rice (white rice,) fried rice, chow mein for an extra dollar you can add meat.They have a variety of different items you can choose from for Rice plate. I asked what she recommended she told me orange chicken and Mongolian beef so I opted into the orange chicken because I was already looking at it and let me tell you I was not disappointed total came up to 10 bucks I did not have to wait more than 10 minutes the food was hot fresh flavorful and quick.If you are in the area or even if you're not in the area and you want some cheap but good tasting nice quality food come here the orange chicken was not too overwhelming with the orange flavor but you can tell that it was a fresh orange sauce it was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't super spicy to me the batter is super crispy and crunchy is lightly coated with just the right amount of sauce and it's enough meat in there to where you're not getting overwhelmed with the batter the chow mein had Fresh Veggies like bean sprouts green onion white onions and cabbage and was not overcooked and was flavorful. Easily 8.5 out of 10 will definitely be back. I'm in the car right now debating if I want to go back and order the Mongolian beef or not. Definitely one of the better places in Oakland I will say the regular menu is kind of expensive though but if you can afford it get it and a plus is a ginger ale for a $1.50

As a trucker I can say the food is really good ESPECIALLY THEIR POT STICKERS. Those were the best I have ever had. Definitely better than what you get from the stores. Their house fried rice is really good and cooked fresh too. Good amount of food for the price.If you are delivering to the Port of Oakland near TraPac, Door Dash can deliver. Total time about 35 minutes from order to truck. If you’re low on hours and no roach coaches near by, DEFINITELY ORDER FROM HERE.

Sadly, I'm only around here on average once every 30 days but, if I'm around there and they are open I try to always get food from there. I usually order the same thing which is pork fried rice with a side of sweet and sour sauce and chicken egg foo young sometimes with a side of extra gravy and an order of large white jasmine rice. I have ordered a couple other things but that's usually my go-to order. The people there are very friendly very attentive and it's just my personal opinion but the food is really really good. It's closed up for dine-in so it's only to go or Uber and stuff so I can't comment on atmosphere unless it is simply the engagement with the people at the counter but my personal experience is always really terrific. I wish they were open every time I came by and I wish I was there often because I would easily eat there two to three times a week easily guaranteed

The dry fried ribs had a great flavor, just NOT enough meat on them. There was more bone on each piece. And, to add a bit of insult, the bones were too small to give to my dog!
