My favorite Chinese take-away place.The lady at the counter is very kind and attentive. The food is good, with many options in pork, chicken, and seafood. Also, a large variety of vegetarian options.Reasonably priced.

Amazing little Chinese food restaurant run by a husband/wife combo - some of the hardest working folks around! Lily always works the front and is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet.Everything I’ve ever had here has been delicious and fresh, but the Mongolian chicken is one of my favs. You can’t beat the prices here either!It’s a special place, go see for yourself!

My favorite place EVER to order take-out! Fresh, tasty, good sized portions for a very reasonable price, and Lily (one of the owners) is SO nice and gets to know everyone personally. I still remember when she welcomed us to the neighborhood the first time we ate there, and she's remembered us (and our favorite dishes) ever since!Vegetarian options: Fresh and light vegetable chow mein is my favorite here. The cashew vegetarian chicken is quite tasty too!

I’m pretty sure the lady that works at front is the nicest human in the whole world. So friendly, so welcoming. The food is unbelievably fresh, not heavy at all. Super tasty, 100% the best Chinese place around.Trip #2 update: order the ginger onion chicken. It is absolutely fantastic. Furthermore, Lily actually tried to come out in the atmospheric river to bring my food to my car because literally, like mentioned before, she is the best person on the planet.

Fantastic food and Lily is the nicest person! We love this place in spite of its total lack of ambience. Definitely a take spot rather than dine in ( though there are tables, too). Chicken fried rice and cashew chicken are my

I popped in tonight for a quick takeout bite before I went to the beach.Super fast, the lady that ran the front was very nice and chatty!Not much in terms of ambiance for the space, it was efficient and clean.The food was pretty good so I'll go back for sure.

The worst Mapo Tofu i have ever had in my life. It did not have any sichuan pepper. The restaurant gets ready made sauces and curries from outside, which upon customer order they just assemble things. They make mapo tofu with schezuan sauce bought from the market We also got vegetable delight, which was equally bad. No flavour. It was steamed vegetables only. There is a reason why this place is cheaper than other places. There is no authentic flavor, the portion size is small, and they dont make anything at the restaurant and assemble store bought items. I would not recommend

Sweetest staff on earth Always attentive and so nice, even when they're insanely busy. Even if I don't come in for months they remember me and ask how my day has been, how is my husband, etc. There's a lot of Chinese food spots in the area but this one is just different. The cashew chicken is wonderful! Definitely a business worth supporting, also good location if you like eating noodles on the beach ;)

Lilly is amazing and her food is our go to for takeout!! We have been coming here for 6 years. We discovered Hunan Cafe 2 or Lily's place as we call it when I was pregnant with my first son and was trying to eat a ton of spicy Chinese food and get the baby out. Now 3.5 kids later and we still go get food from Lily as often as we can. She always asks about our family and Santa's home with extra fortune cookies for the kids. Now on to the food- we love almost everything here but the Chicken Chow Mein, green onion pancakes, soups, and Honey Walnut Shrimp, and broccoli beef stand out as some of the best Chinese food we have ever had. It's seriously where we go when we need comforting food, have an anniversary, or for any other reason that we can think of. The prices are super great as well.
