We found this spot via DoorDash. They only had one pic on DoorDash so I went to Yelp to see if they had more pix to get a vibe if it would be worth the gamble. Y'all!!! Take the leap! It was delicious and my sister and I were so glad we gave them a shot. We are moving out of the Bay Area and were starving after packing all day. It met the comfort food and full belly craving!! Bitter sweet that we are finding this spot with less than a month in our current location but sure did appreciate the delicious and affordable dinner. The only item we didn't care for was the hot and sour soup. I cannot be 100% but for people wondering it was definitely vegetarian (if not vegan). No shrimp or chicken in it. It's a bit different than I'm used to. More gelatinous, not enough white pepper or vinegar to my preference. But everything else was fresh and perfectly cooked. I kept it low carb with kung pow chicken. Got string beans and chicken to share. Sister got a chicken combo plate (lemon chicken/chowmein) + app egg roll order. We figured leftovers!! Again, all delicious (minus the soup).

We bought shrimp chowmain yesterday and the shrimp was rotten or they re used them from an old dish. lately there food quality is low. Before it was more pleasant. Know these place for many years. But I don't think I'll be buying again.

I wanted to like this place but it was nothing near as good as the reviews made it seem. My normal go to spot is on the east side and I just didn't want to drive all the way over there so I found the spot literally blocks from my house and seen the positive reviews so I ordered fried rice, chicken chow mein, sweet-and-sour pork, Kung pow chicken, and egg roll. The rice had zero flavor I should've just got white rice. The chow mein was the same had zero flavor. The only positive were the main entrées they were tasty well let me clarify we couldn't really taste or try the sweet-and-sour because when we open the container there was a bug in there. So our dinner went in the garbage and we ended up eating sandwiches and soup because we didn't know if the rest of the food had bugs in it. I will be sticking with my normal spot when craving Chinese food

Great place to eat at. Service is good and the wait times are well worth the amount of food and the taste.

My friends and I decided to get Chinese for NYE and one of my friends recommended this spot. We placed an order online and they said they'd stay open to 6:30 complete our order. We rushed over but when we got there other people were waiting for their food as well and we ended up waiting 30mins which wasn't too much of an issue except we thought the order would be ready since we called it in 40mins before. Thinking the wait meant the food was great I figured it would be really really good. I feel bad saying I didn't enjoy everything. The vegetable rice wasn't vegetable fried rice, maybe we missed the mark when ordering it? It seemed like steamed white rice with vegetables. The orange chicken was mushy, they should put the sauce separately like their sweet and sour pork. The kung pao chicken and mongolian beef were spicy and really good. And their egg rolls were good too Overall some of their items were a hit for me and others missed the mark, in my opinion. I say it's still worth a shot trying them as everyone has their own preference, but not sure I'll be returning soon. I'm only knocking off one star because the people who work here are nice and their food is good but it just wasnt an overall favorite of mine.

My auto shop(Pete's stop tire) is a less than a mile away and I usually order the beef and broccoli on rice. Always fresh vegetables and beef. Huge portions. Usually have to save half for next day .Sweet and sour pork is also excellent

This place constantly delivers. They serve fantastic food for fair rates, there no long wait even when the place is full.

Horrible service and food. The gentleman ignored us for a bit until we flagged him down , he rudely took our order then said cash only. Yet had a working machine and no signs up stating cash only. We paid extra for fried rice and didn’t receive fried rice. Shrimp was not cleaned before breaded and fried. Garlic chicken was made super spicy but was not marked as a spicy item (cuz it’s not supposed to be).

I really enjoy this place, the quality is mid range but I enjoy the fact that when you place an order with specific changes to their menu they didn’t hesitate to help me and make it happen; as the order was a take out I took a leap of faith and trusted them and they did not disappoint, they customized my chaomein my walnut shrimp with the sauce on the side so the shrimp didn’t get soggy while transporting,I appreciate them for that.
