We really enjoyed our meal here. The green bean stir-fry was crispy and delicious, the Mongolian beef was tender and full of flavor, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Definitely coming back again!

My family and I decided to give this place a try as we've been to majority of the Chinese restaurants in the area. My first impression was mehhhhhhh, not really feeling the decore and the location. Since my wife wanted to give it a try, why not....🤷. We ordered their pan fried Bao: a huge let down. It was hard and dry as a rock, as if they purchased a huge bulk and stored it in the freezer. It was not fresh.... absolutely disgusting. Beef fried rice: sigh....... Absolutely disgusting. No flavor nor seasoning, just too bland. Even my fried rice tastes better than theirs. I literally lost my appetite and wanted to leave. But the wifey said to stay put.....oh well. The entire restaurant was literally empty with the exception of another patron. I can see why.....🤦 Never coming back here again.

A chinese eatery with a variety of dishes, with some classic Chinese-Korean options. I ordered Jjajjangmyeon, Jjamppong, and a few other options, along with the fried coconut milk. The food was good for the most part, but the jjajjangmyeon is definitely not a Korean flavor - it might lean more Chinese (?), so it wasn't to my taste. The fried items were good when fresh.
The waitress was incredibly kind and hardworking, with great attention to service.

Got the jajangmyeon and jjambong with the sweet and sour pork. All of it was very well seasoned and I especially enjoyed the soup of the jjambong. Not too crowded, good food all around. Fully recommend!

This Chinese restaurant is a little jewel on Branham and Rose. Cared by three Excellent chefs, you will be greatly surprised by the quality of the service and food. If you want to taste it for yourself, just try its delicious Hot and Sour Soup. Enjoy!

I agree with Z. Alex on this one, definitely one of the best Chinese Restaurants in town. I am an addict of Wor Won Ton soup and have tried many different spots in San Jose looking for that authentic taste, found it here. Spring rolls are also some of the best in town. I have not had an opportunity to eat there in person, just have ordered through DoorDash, food is consistently great.

Sichuan boiled fish with pickled greens was missing flavor and Sichuan pepper. It felts like diluted with water.
Cumin lamb had good flavor but was so chewy that my jaw hurts. It felt like FAFO.
