Food was good. We received the wrong food first but they quickly replaced with what we ordered.

Lunch menu is very good and generous proportions of good food. Lunch items could be easily shared amongst multiple people. By

From the moment we walked in, the service was slow and staff seemed uninterested. We ordered hot tea that never came, plus spicy chicken, honey walnut prawns, steamed vegetables, and chicken fried rice—all completely bland with no flavor. The worst part: when we poured our Sprites into glasses of ice, we found black bugs floating in both. Totally disgusted we stop eating and ask for the bill we paid and tried to leave. But server started arguing about the tip instead of apologizing and talking about the issue. Horrible food, poor customer service, and zero cleanliness. I’d never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We’ve been going to this Chinese restaurant for years. We ordered take-out tonight, Sweet&Sour Pork and Broccoli & Beef. Very disappointed, the pork was way too fatty and the beef lacked tenderness. At 19+ per entree I expect a much better experience. I think they may be resting on the laurel a little too much and getting lazy.. C’mon guys, you’re better than this!

This remains one of the best Taiwanese restaurants around. They've been around for decades and offer great dishes. I was glad to see they were still in business after not having visited them in a few years.

This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant. I found by mistake. You should go between 11-2pm for the lunch special. My favorite is the broccoli prawns, chowmein, and wonton soup. They also give you a small chicken salad that's really good. The food is so good. I've taken my sister, friend, and family there. Love it

Very nice Chinese restaurant located in downtown Willow Glen. Fast and friendly service
(This seems owner-operated.) Food is tasty and ample serving portions. Great selection of food. Prospective patrons should look at the menu prior to visiting as there are many different varieties of Chinese cuisine.

If i was able to give 0 stars I would 100%

From the moment we walked in, we were given menus that were sticky and dirty. The plate and fork that is sitting on the tables was dusty. My partner and I ordered the calamari but it was extremely chewy ( felt like i was chewing bubble gum ). The severs did not check up on us until it was time to give us the bill. Food was just drowned in sauce and tasted like if it was made days ago and reheated in the microwave. The broccoli beef was very chewy too and broccoli tasted old. We ordered fried rice as well and it took 20 minutes for us to receive it and it was cold. It was not a lot of people at the restaurant but our food took forever to arrive.

At the end when we got our bill, I decided not to tip because food and service was really bad. When the host saw we didn’t tip she said “ you not going to tip?” and then said “no because service was bad” and i said “thank you” and walked away and she said “thank you for what “. I regret spending my money on this place.

ADDENDUM: Decided to give it another try at the urging of some friends who wanted to eat there. I have to take away a star. The atmosphere is lovely and the service great, but once again the food disappoints. We ordered the family meal that comes with Chinese chicken salad. The dressing tasted like sugar sweet vinegar. None of the characteristic wasabi and other flavors in a good salad. It was horrible. And the wonton soup that came with it included just 2 wontons, nothing else, in a cup of broth that literally tasted like slightly colored water. I'm not exaggerating. Completely lacking in any flavor. We liked the garlic eggplant and the pea sprout special, but between our 2 or 3 tries we've given this place only because the reviews are so good, because that's all we've liked, we won't be back.

Original review:
So many great reviews for this place, but we were disappointed. Flavors were very weak and it tasted like the chef just added more salt to make up for the lack. Hopefully it was just a bad night. So many others love it, so we'll give it one more try.
