This is my favorite spot in town for Chinese food. I can always walk in and get a table immediately and the food comes out quickly and is hot and tastes fresh. Nothing is necessarily going to blow your mind but everything I've ever ordered tastes good and hits that craving for some inauthentic takeout style Chinese food perfectly. Service is generally friendly and I always leave satisfied. It's also very reasonably priced. This is a great staple spot to keep in the rotation.

Picked this place because it was closest to the hotel. Not authentic, but tasty. For example, the wor wonton soup had chicken instead of chashu, and was served with fried wonton strips. The soup hit the spot regardless. The service was so-so. The waitress spilled the leftover dressing all over our table and the floor and just left it there. She seemed happier when we left than when we arrived. I can see how this is a good place if you want a large assortment of beers to choose...

I got the kung pao chicken with chow mein. It wasn't spicy and had way to much sauce. Unfortunately I was unimpressed with the dish and consider it a downgraded panda express. The lunch special was $17 which seems a little pricey.

Cool area of Point Loma, chill vibes inside. The boba tea is good.
