Hands down one of the best Chinese food joints in the South Bay. The quality of the food and taste never disappoints. Service is amazing, Ryan my man at the front is a gem of a guy. Great recommendation. Prices are very reasonable, the portions are massive. The chefs are amazing. Edna at the helm. I am so thankful to discover this gem. Been there a couple times already and promise to be a regular for many years to come. Keep up the good work guys.

The service was terrible.The waiter forgot about us and did not speak much English.The restaurant is old and needs a paint job.The rice was good it would have been great if it had green onions.The pork chow main was really good. The noodles were cooked perfectly soft and the flavor was on point.Wonton soup had no flavorAnd the sweet and sour pork needed to be sweeter.Overall it's a little better than Jade China however Jade is less expensive and it's not a restaurant.

They give a big portion for the food and it taste authentic.
The food is usually tasty and good.Service is sometimes nice and friendly... then other times the service is not inviting, or friendly. Depends on who we get. One girl that we have gotten twice of the 4 times is super nice, but the other 2 times, was different.The atmosphere is basic Asian style restaurant.Parking: If we find parking... we eat there. There is only street parking which is always slim to none.I wish they had their own parking lot.Sometimes they have advised us to park behind their restaurant and when we did ... we were told to move or be towed.

Picked up a to go order from here for my family and was incredibly happy with the food. We tried quite a few different things but the sesame chicken and the chow mein were our favorites. The price was great for the amount of food we got and the lady working was very nice and helpful while also handling the guests eating in the restaurant. Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu
Best salt and pepper pork chop I've ever had. My previous favorite was in south san jose and the head chef retired years ago. I've been searching for another place for years and this is the best I've had in 10 years. If you like beer try their salt and pepper pork

Just good Chinese food with quite a few speciality dishes thrown in. Love the honey walnut prawns, and the crab puffs are delightful. The potstickers are both steamed and fried, so the skin is fat and juicy, but crispy on the surface. My favorite!

Today I went to Edna Ray, and paid $55 for my meal. The order was vegetable delight-$14, lemon chicken-$15, and rice-$3 + taxes 10 percent=$3, so the meal cost should be $35. In America tips are a custom, but 57 percent tip for this place and meals is too much. I was in a rush and tired so didn't pay attention at the time of paying for these meals in cash. After all, I don't have any receipt. In short, It was my last day in Edna Ray and for my husband who recommended this place for me too.
I've never been to this place, but I'm glad I got a chance to stop by. It's definitely not set up for dine in, with half the restaurant sectioned off, but there were maybe 6 tables still to occupy. Me and my friend had the gourmet dinner meal. We each got a small cup of soup, small Chinese salad, 2 small Crab Rangoon, 2 fried shrimp to share, a fried rice to share and she got sesame chicken while I got the beef and scallop entree. It was $22? Plus tip. The service was good, they offered refills without us asking and even fixed my friends salad after she forgot to mention a nut allergy, the food came out hot, and they were nice enough to let us sit there until close to closing. We saw a lot of To-Go orders picked up while there. While ambiance wasn't the greatest due to the location and set up, the food was good, and I'll likely order to go from them.

How have I not reviewed this place before? Terrifically hearty dishes; I especially like the Mongolian beef and the dry braised prawns, which are up to anything other local places offer.It used to be located on Lincoln Ave. in Willow Glen, and I'd go there for lunch in preference to Taiwan across the street, even though Taiwan is technically a better restaurant. Edna Ray was still more satisfactory for a hearty lunch plate.And the new location on San Carlos is easier to get to, and parking is a little less iffy, and the food is exactly the same.

When I'm craving beef chow fun, this is my go to place. You get a big portion full of flavor and always full after! I would also definitely recommend the crab cheese puffs as they are crispy and delicious. It's a great appetizer to share as it comes with 8 pieces. We also enjoy the bbq pork fried rice.

I will go out of my way to eat here again. Best restaurant on our vacation. Affordable and great food. I am always scared of Chinese being less than what the reviews say, this was better

I'll start with the good... The Honey Walnut Prawns are divine! Just ordered take-out from Edna Ray's. They could have included chopsticks, soy sauce and fortune cookies. None of which came in the bag. Only 2 forks and a mere 2 napkins.Fried rice was pretty bland as well. Unfortunately had to douse this in soy sauce to add flavor. Chow mein was also just alright. Left a lot to be desired.
