Menu has everything you can imagine and food always hits the spot. Definitely recommend.
Mongolian beef you can't go wrong or so I thought it came out after a minute. it wascooked in old used cooking oil did not taste nice I went there a few years ago and food has got worse .price was high for lunchI pay about $10-12 all over city at lunch this was $15.50 the post man goes in for lunch I think it's sympathy as they are an old couple and don't have much businessbut I could not go back there again as I can't eat stale oil
Spent my whole lunch break trying to break a language barrier trying to order simple items pointing at a greasy and dusty menu. Then when I tried to pay the old dirty machine kept saying invalid pin and the lady at the front kept yelling “no money! No money!” I left like mam I have plenty money. Settled for a bagel next door.
Pros: crispy orange beef! Reminded me of my favorite restaurant in Beijing!BYOB! Liquor store around the corner I highly recommend you bring some sake and beer! They let you stay as long as you like. Great service!Cons: you might have to wipe down your own table and if you don’t speak mandarin as I do you may have a small language barrier. The fish tank might need some updating.
Just a little hole in the wall place, but don't let that fool you. It's not anything fancy to look at and very basic.But for good Western Chinese food, you can't go wrong. The flavor was really good, and the portion size is huge.Visit again. Oh yes! Next time I pass by, it's on my revisit list.
Great neighborhood spot, nice owners and tasty food at a great price and solid portion sizes. Got the black bean chicken rice plate and it had lots of rice, veggies, and moist chicken
ordered online and food was supposed to be ready in 15 minutes when I went to pick it up they said it would be another 15 minutes which became 30 minutes. The seaweed salad was frozen.
Placed order online at 12:05 for 12:30pick then waited until 1pm still not ready. Lack of staffs is my guess. I would not come again.
So disappointed with my latest order of moo shu pork . Not even sure what I was eating! No pork just small pieces of fat. No mushrooms, no eggs, just terrible. Pancakes thin and dried out.
So Far darn good. Classic sesame chicken for a fair price. Quick and solid. My new neighborhood chinese spot!

Please bring back Ben Wah... this place is terrible very bland
Great place for awesome Asian cuisine!
I ordered the cashew almond chicken. It was such a weird texture. I usually never not finish my food, but I had a few bites and did not want to continue eating it. It was also extremely bland.My boyfriend ordered an iced coffee and they gave him a small prepackaged Starbucks mocha.
I love there Chinese Food alot. great Soups and Noodle vegetables dishes
I am shockingly surprised at how good the sushi is here. And I've been in search of good sushi for months. I've tried many at the recommendation of friends as well as some based on Yelp reviews. Each time I was disappointed because of the main ingredient: rice. The fish were fresh on most, but they all failed because the rice was "katai," or hard. My husband found Beijing Tokyo while on a walk. He grabbed a menu because he said it reminded him of me being that I'm half Japanese and half Chinese. He's such a jokester and we decided to give it a try. The prices are so reasonable, I felt I had nothing to lose. I always order the same thing when trying out new sushi restaurants: maguro, hama-negi, shiro-maguro, and ikura. It's a good place to start and will reveal the freshness (or lack thereof) of the fish as well as how they season their roe and rice. When I took my first bite, I let out a big smile. The rice was cooked and seasoned perfectly! Finally. I liked it so much that I ordered a bunch for my mom for Mother's Day. That was the real test. Would my 87 year old Japanese mother like it? She exclaimed, "Oishii!" Delicious! Don't be put off by the name of the restaurant or some of its crazy concoction rolls. Stick to the basics and you won't be disappointed. Everything was fresh and delicious and the prices are right at an average of $4 for two pieces of nigiri.
