First time ever at this restaurant for my wife and I and three neighbors, and the food was fabulous. The quality of the food was excellent and the portion size was generous. I had a seafood combo served over white rice in a curry sauce, and it was amazing. My wife had the rice ramen dish and said it was spectacular. There were five of us having lunch together and everyone loved their meal. We went during the lunch hour. The wait for our food was very reasonable and I especially like the fact that the restaurant appeared to be spotless. We will definitely return many times to this wonderful restaurant.

We’ve been looking for good Chinese food for years and finally found it. The orange chicken and seafood vegetables in black bean sauce were delicious. The food is top notch.We’ll be back.

I don't think they can seat more than four. We had about 6 people. They turned us away, closing an hour and a half before their listed close. They stated that that's how long the wait for food is. Everyone seemed to be eating or done.

I stumbled upon this place by accident on Google. I noticed that the reviews were pretty good and the prices were very reasonable.First off, the service was exceptional. The lady who runs the front works very hard and is very kind.Second, the prices are unbeatable!!Third and most important, the food is absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! We tried the relaxing chicken soup which tastes so fresh and comforting. I feel like this soup could cure the flu. We also got the deluxe shrimp fried rice and it was great and will be a staple! Finally, we tried the basil chicken and it was lovely and had so many yummy vegetables!I am so happy that we found this place and look forward to trying other dishes in the future.

Love this place. Such kind owners/staff, great food and reasonably priced. Also appreciate them using generous amounts of veggies. Will keep coming back!

The older lady server was kind and respectful; the food was an odd combination of teriyaki sweet and sour plus noodles... I have never had a worse Chinese -Thai meal and sadly will not go back.

Wow, 4.6 stars?!? I was far from impressed with this place. Their lunch menu doesn’t offer soup or appetizer with the entrees. You get a choice of steamed or brown rice, no fried rice. The beef quality is poor, and they hardly give you any! The service was great tho.

This is the first time I've been at this small restaurant but it won't be the last time! Excellent food and our wait person was very polite and attentive. Yellow Curry with the brown rice was pure excellence. Looking forward to my next lunch there.

Really good food, and one of the cheapest restaurants in Olympia. Most dishes are $11 or $12, and there's an entire page of all-day specials for $8.50 each (which is pretty nuts in 2023 haha). I think the specials are just slightly smaller portions than the regular menu.Food is flavorful and veggies seem fresh. Fair protein portions, especially given the price. Friendly and fast service.Try it out! Really good overall.

Absolutely the best little spot for authentic food. I've never been disappointed in the food or service. And the owners are the absolute best people. I haven't encountered nicer people anywhere! They are like family! An absolute must go place! They've been there for decades. It's very obvious why! Check them out!

Small and cozy restaurant with good curry. I had medium-heat yellow curry and it was really good. Needed more basil but the heat lingered nicely and wasn't overpowering.
