Absolutely love this place for authentic Chinese and Chinese-American food. The portions are very generous and shareable/family style and the prices are hard to beat considering the food quality (food is delivered fresh daily). This place is often full so be sure to make a reservation for dinner. I've always had luck coming in around 3pm/4pm. My favorite dishes are the sweet and pungent shrimp, orange chicken, Sichuan shrimp and Mongolian beef but I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I also love the green tea they serve at your table. Service has always been personable and prompt. If you're in the area definitely go!

I've passed this place a million times yet never tried it till today, in August 2025. It's great! I highly recommend the food here. Everything we ordered was quite tasty. Will definitely be coming back! The ambience is nothing to write home about, however, it is not terribly bright and sterile like some places can be. Tip: Alcohol is not mentioned on their menu but they do have beer and a full bar! That said, their Thai iced tea is pretty damn good.

I go here with my siblings whenever I’m back from abroad and it brings us back to when we were kids. Classic Chinese dishes that are shareable. Will always be coming back.

Very good Chinese food. Excellent variety in the menu. Nice lunch specials. Friendly service.
This used to be one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. Obviously, it does not compare to Mr. Chow's, but we enjoyed Chinese classics at a bargain price. Service was (and still is) always nice - the ambiance reflects the price point they have. Over the years, my wife and I have surely been 50+ times, and I have awarded five stars almost every time we've gone. Sadly, we watch the quality constantly decline. It's still "not bad" - particularly considering their fantastic lunch menu prices - but not bad is ... not bad. We are now at a point where my wife and I would favour the Express fast food place with the Chinese bear ;-) over having lunch here. A shame, really.

A little gem in South Pasadena. Being Asian, we were surprised with finding genuine food in a non-Asian neighborhood. Dishes ordered: prawns, lobster, chicken with gai-lan, seafood soup, and longevity noodles. All tasted really delicious.
