“The definition of a mom & pop shop that cares about what they do. Food is consistently great. I always order take out and the dishes are still always well-prepared and presented, quick service, etc. If you’re in the area and haven’t tried it then you’re robbing yourself.“

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“

“Stopped by today, Monday March 16, 2026 the restaurant was no more. No pictures on the windows or doors . . . peeking through the window saw only boxes and a ladder. The website looked active. Tried another Chinese restaurant down the road, won't be going back.“

“The food? Straight fire. Everything came out fresh, hot, and seasoned right. You can tell they care about what they’re serving. The people there are solid too. Customer service on point, respectful, fast, and they actually pay attention. The atmosphere feels good. Chill, comfortable, somewhere you can really sit and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Easy 5 stars across the board. This my number one spot, for real. If you haven’t been yet, you missing out. The food is bomb every single time.“

“Been coming here for some time and have had a positive experience every time.
Enrique always has a smile and a positive Attitude.
Good luck on finding a whole meal for $10 anywhere let alone finding one that taste Good and is so filling . Big portions .
I got the lunch special Chicken beef/ teriyaki
It came with a nice portion of rice and fresh salad. My wife ordered the chicken and gyoza meal that was delicious!
They have only raised their prices One time that I am aware of in the last few years even thru covid and it was not extreme like most of the other restaurants.
I would say i would have raised them more myself.
I fed my wife and myself for $25
Good luck i'm finding that anywhere“

“I was looking for a quick and affordable food spot nearby as my boyfriend and I were waiting for our groomer to get our dogs ready for a wedding. I definitely shouldn't have thought jajangmyeon as my first option but I was also super hungry and it was the cheapest thing on the menu, while I was also thinking it wouldn't take that long. Plus they were open early which was great as we were in the area around 10am! When we arrived, there was a older gentleman who greeted us then looked like he was prepping for the day. He can speak Korean and English just fine too. Once we were ready, we placed an order of jajangmyeon and egg rolls and he brought us out banchan. I did ask for more daikon but he seemed to have forgotten or maybe left as his daughter was there delivering food, tea and taking orders. She was a lot more attentive, she would check in on customers and was very friendly! Also it turns out that my boyfriend's friend who he has known since high school was that female employee, so for those saying the owners have changed, they have not.

There is plenty of seating at this food court as well as other options from sushi, Korean food and and this spot that serves Korean-Chinese food. The lighting here is a bit dark but it is light enough to take different photos. It's not too cold nor hot either. You can also leave your plates, utensils and trash on the table and someone will come get it.

The jajangmyeon was really good, I was surprised as I feel like there aren't too many places that have good jajangmyeon in Lakewood but I can say it is way better than the other places that serve in the area. I usually don't scoop up the sauce but it was actually really good. They offer kimchi, onion and daikon for their side dishes which I think is perfectly fine. They do offer refills and when I asked for more daikon, the kind female employee even gave me extra vinegar. My boyfriend said the egg roll was pretty good too. We look forward to coming back!“

“Oh my gosh. The General Tso chicken was really fresh and delicious. I had two stars spiciness and it was just right. My wife who doesn't do spicy said the chicken was good. She had chicken pho and let me tell you that broth was the best we've ever had. Even the chicken had this char grilled flavor that takes it to the next level.“

“Quick serve Chinese restaurant, located inside of the SAARS marketplace.

This place has better fried rice than panda express, you can quote me on that and you should come try it cause I’m definitely right

Tasty little spot I will be back, I also have a second location inside of the saars in Tukwila“

“The food and service is Gold star perfect! Food is always delicious, and our service has always been first class. Have driven 85 miles one way for last 2 years to have our anniversary dinner there. And it's always excellent!“

“This restaurant has the best fried chicken wings I tasted! They have unique flavor such as spicy honey garlic and lemon honey garlic sauce. As far as I know the spicy honey garlic is home made at the store. So freaking delicious. Only thing that is bad is the wait times for getting the delicious food.“

“Server was very accommodating given the fact that we got in right after the opening time. Kimchi dumpling is homemade and was very tasty. Black bean fried rice has a big portion. Spicy seafood noodle was good as well. After we finish, the lunch crowd all came at the same time. Food service was a bit on the slower side so you may want to plan for it. I would definitely go back.“

“2 men after a very rainy 5 mile beach hike found this a great experience!
It was a perfect temperature to warm us up. Food was amazing, their daily chicken teriyaki special, gyoza and Won Ton Soup was perfect. The woman server was extraordinary. We will be back.“

“Good Cambodian comfort food“

“To rate any less would be unacceptable. The food, the people, the atmosphere. To figure out where to start is very difficult. Upon entering this establishment I was immediately met by a positive host exuding happy vibes. The wait for my food was not long. In most cases my first concern would have been the quality. This concern was met by beautiful dishes of well placed food cooked at the right temperatures and without the heavy flare and over sauced noodles I have come to expect from most of these establishments. The host was not hovering but kept kind anytime interactions sparked. He left me in peace to enjoy my meal. To say that this restaurant is anything short of a experience would be greatly wronged. If a higher rating were possible I would happily give it.
But for now I give you this. If you wish to enjoy beautifully cooked food, lovely rolled sushi and hot sake heated to perfect temperature. Please come here and enjoy it for your self. Share a smile with the host and enjoy a experience. I will surely be coming back very soon to see what all this establishment has to offer.
Sincerely
A rainy day.“
