My local go to, everything has been excellent.
Ordered pick up while we were in town for the weekend and this place is amazing. The food was amazing! The nice lady at the counter was a sweetheart. We'll make it a point to visit each time we come to San Diego.

The restaurant has received positive reviews recently. Customers praise the Almond Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and egg drop soup, describing them as "fabulous" and "perfect heat with great flavor." The Shanghai Special, pork Egg Foo Young, Sweet & Pungent Shrimp, and Shanghai fried rice have also received high praise, with the soup being described as "flavorful with large wontons, pork, shrimp and veggies," and the shrimp as "very juicy and not overly sweet."
