Customer Reviews
The direct service was decent. My issue is the food is extremely to salty. Full of sodium. If you're trying to watch your salt intake this is not the place. The server asked how we liked the food we expressed our honest opinion she apologized. She didn't offer an alternative or an compensation on the entree we couldn't consume or eat. We left a $32.00 plate on the table because of the salt/sodium. After we express our honest opinion she acted as if this wasn't her first time hearing this. But, that didn't change the fact that she still wanted us to pay for a platter full of salt. Usually, we would have packed it up and taken it home for leftovers, we left it on the table. We asked her to taste it so she will know and understand our concerns. She nicely declined. Our health is more important. I truly would have liked to enjoy our food. Honestly, as a server if you know the food is prepared with too much salt you should ask the customer how can you fix it to satisfy your customers for customer satisfaction and future visits. Now, we won't be going back. I hope this review will be taken into consideration for all.

Chinese takeout spot with a VERY toned down Szechuan spice. Came here for late night food and the lady was so nice!!! Dishes I recommend are string beans,Kung Pao chicken, and string beans. Im Chinese and thought the spicy szechuan chicken wasnt spicy at all, more like takeout style than actual szechuan. All the dishes need more garlic, onion, szechuan peppers, and chilli peppers to qualify as authentic szechuan food. Chilli oil on the condiments was too pickley. No this is not authentic szechuan food where everything is stir fried in mountains of spices. This is more like above average Chinese takeout with a twist and the service is excellent. Very good prices.
Been here twice dined in the people here are very friendly. Small dining room clean. The food was good hot and lots of spice you can ask for more or less spice. I seen a few reviews who gave this place a 1 or 2 stating it was to salty on both visits I did not taste that. My orders both were hot with lots of flavor. This place did not disappoint me in anyway. The majority of thier business is pickup and there was a steady stream of locals constantly in and out for pickup of food. I think they deserve a 5.
I love this place. I live in the South Bay and the closest place for me to get legit delicious Chinese food was going to Chinatown (Hop Li and Yang Chow). Now I can get Chinatown quality here is the Southbay. I eat here all the time now and it's so good. Kung Pao Chicken with white meat is my favorite. But everything I have ordered here like House Special Shrimp, Hot and Sour Soup, and Steamed Fish is all GREAT!
