Overall, unimpressed. Just happened to be hungry while driving through. Chicken and veggies seemed like the best option, but I was weary. From the front, I could see their chicken thighs sitting out over their sink in a pile. Place smelled strongly of oil and salt, and the overall atmosphere felt like the opening of a laundromat. Chicken and veggies - chicken was oily and overly salty. Everything else tasted like it was just poured out of an aluminum can. ALSO, way too many whole pieces of ginger in the brown sauce. I'm sure it's not a bad place. It's just not up to par with what I'm used to.

good stuff, I recommend trying all of the menu because some of my classic favorites are there! Highly recommend the za jiang noodles(Highly missed item from back home). popular for a reason, so be sure to order as fast as possible and have cash on you!

The Si chuan cool noodle plate is something we look forward to every summer trip to Houghton. We get it spicy and add egg.

One of my favorite places to go in the area. JJ is awesome and works very hard. The wait can be long because they are in such high demand. JJ is generally the only one cooking but his food is always worth the wait. This is primarily a take out business so your best chance is going in person. In house dining is available but it’s still only counter service. They prioritize in house customers so if they don’t answer the phone they are likely already swamped. Again, only one cook so be patient and trust you will have the best Chinese food in houghton. I’ve been addicted to his general tso, always adding broccoli and jalapeños to make it extra spicy.
Parking: It’s a small strip mall so parking can be tight but you’ll understand when you see it. Not JJs fault and I always find a spot.

A perennial favorite since college. Their crab rangoons are the best you'll ever have. Good service from a knowledgeable crew, food made by an absolute top-notch cook. The restaurant floor is deceiving simple and sparse for the quality of food being served.

Our family has our favorites. My daughter gets the chicken and mushrooms, wofe says the rangoons are great. I like the Sesame Balls and the Hot and Sour Soup. Orange Chicken, Kung Pao, Pad Thai all great. Dine in or take out. It doesn’t look like you would be allowed to eat inside, but you are.
Sometimes the wait could be long, but it is worth it.

Ordered food to go, it was delicious. Portion is huge. Now I know I can split it. The Crab Rangoon is exceptional and also the Shrimp Si Chuan Cold Noodle. It is a bit of a wait but well worth it.
Been there a few times at this point, food is always great and prepared well, even if at the cost of taking a while. One of my favourite restaurants in

Arrived just before our pick-up time and they were finishing our order. Fried rice was delicious and not spicy at all, si chuan cool noodle was delicious and pretty hot- had lots of chili pepper. Crab rangoons were delicious and stuffed with more cream cheese/crab mixture than you usually get at places. The kitchen looked clean and the workers looked professional and friendly. There are several tables to eat in but I wouldn't want to.
