Always good food, last time I got a paper bag and my food fell thru and it all went into the floor, I called them and told them what happened and they were so nice told me to go back and they made a new plate! Great service

The food tastes okay, and the owner is also friendly.
However, there is hidden charge —
For example, the mushroom beef costs an extra $2
Paying by credit card adds another 3%.
The rice is also overpriced: $3 for a small bowl, while most chinese restaurants charge $2.

Why NOT tell customers in advance? It feels like a hidden charge — so sad

Didn't eat there, but ordered my food through Door dash and picked up my order. Quick and all my food was there. A little salty for Asian food, but still good. Will be back for the chow fun
