Their hours aren't very convenient and I think they're cash-only but I think they make the best Singapore curry noodles I've had anywhere. If you like Singapore curry noodles, you owe it to yourself to try theirs. Also warning: I don't know if it's actually on their menu anywhere, but if you ask for it they'll know what you mean.

Nice flavor and good portion. Cute elderly couple owner were talkative, especially if you break out Canto with them.

Haven't been here in years. I was walking by and decided to get scratched eggs and beef over rice. Oh man walking in there was like walking back into time. Food is still great and the service and hospitality hasn't changed.

Wheelchair accessibility: Long old stairway to climb, no elevator in sight. Definitely not ADA nor kid friendly. The open side door was quite high above ground level.

Nice little local Chinese food. We always get the Mongolian beef over rice and Mongolian beef chow mein. This is their specialty and has been for years. We just found out they do Mongolian beef over pan fried Noodles for an additional charge. The rest of the menu is average Chinese food but the Mongolian beef is the 5 star choice from this restaurant. Prices are creeping up with all of the ingredient prices going up but if your looking for a great Mongolian beef give them a try. Remember cash only no charging credit cards here. But will be worth it.

Simple but good food, good portions. Just around the corner from me but I usually end up going elsewhere. Usually my mistake.

Was craving Chinese food around my area. Decided to give this place a try. It did not disappoint. Fast service as well. Cash only. (Left to right: Sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef over rice, shrimp fried rice)

Great experience and quick service. I hadn't been here in awhile and had to stop by. I happened to be craving some Mongolian beef and this place did not disappoint. Not sure if they're doing dine in right now so I went with the takeout order. The wait for my food was not long and the meal was to perfection. Just an overall good meal. The Mongolian beef was exactly as I expected with good flavor and not too overwhelming. Parking might be an issue for some as the business is on a busy street and parking can be hard to find. I'll be back soon. #BeefIsGood

my family and i have been coming here for over a decade, and before i was born. ever since i was little, i've always enjoyed coming here. the food comes in big portions and always tastes great! we call the owner "manang" since we're super close to her, and she never fails to ask about family members when they don't come! we always come here for celebratory family dinners or when we want some simple takeout. hopefully we'll continue to be able to come here!

Found on Yelp and decided to try it out. Had combination chow fun and potstickers. Really good. Biggest potstickers I've ever seen. Tasted really good.

This mom and pops spot is definitely what you want from a Chinese restaurant. It's gritty and old school. Cash only, mom definitely in the kitchen grinding away on the pots and woks. Their chicken wings are a bit greasy but pretty good. All the noodle dishes are a little greasy but once again good in taste. If you like old school tasty greasy Chinese food you need to come here and get your fix. I like to pick up from this place as often as I can. Being from NY originally this spot makes me feel right at home.

I've been going to this mom n pop shop since I was little and I love them. Yes, the food is a little on the oily side but what can you do? You need your food fix, and they fix it good.
