I ordered lunch specials here. Ordered 3 dishes. $6.50 each. The lady that answered the phone hung up on me before giving me the total and time frame. I had to call her back to confirm. 30 mins wait for pickup. When I arrived she looked confused and busy calculating the ticket price for another customer. I wait maybe ten more mins there before she pack my orders to pickup. Food overall was good. Portion was good, big box of rice. The outer part of salt pepper tofu was a little hard. Not crispy. So most likely won't order that. the other one bitter melon with eggs and eggplants are good. For the price I'll go back and try their other dishes.

I feel good for my meals here despite dinner or lunch. Every time I come here, I was treated with delicious food and welcoming service. Food always fresh and gorgeous, taste very full. They know how to cook, in the picture, they provide vegetable in the dish that make the taste improved better when serving the beef stew. Price are competitive with other, which means it is better than other places, comparing for the portion and taste. Always come back.

Came on a saturday, completely forgot that it gets busy around here at most restaurants, saw this place and was a little confused about not seeing anybody in here… just to realize why we didn’t see anybody in here. I was extremely hungry and just ordered the first thing that came to mind and immediately regretted it when the food was brought out. the chicken was literally just boiled. no seasoning, no sauce, just bland plain naked chicken. I didn’t eat it.. I tried to give it a chance and couldn’t eat it. the spicy chicken however was a lot better and i ate that (it was a tolerable meal, it wasn’t the best but it was tolerable to eat), and pushed the chicken and broccoli to the side. Definitely do not recommend this place if you have other options. I was extremely disappointed in the food and won’t be coming back. However the bland chicken would be a pretty good treat for our cat and that’s the only reason why we took it home! *** UPDATE: we tried feeding some to our cat and even he did NOT want to eat it… which says a lot because he loves to eat ANYTHING!

I recently tried out this Chinese restaurant, and it left quite a bit to be desired. The food was okay, nothing to write home about – pretty much in line with what you'd find at other Chinese places in Chinatown. On the plus side, the prices won't break the bank, so there's that. Now, onto the not-so-rosy part: the service. It was slow. I mean, "watching-paint-dry" slow. There was a single waitress bravely attempting to manage the entire dining area, and communication was a bit of a challenge due to the language barrier. We had our own version of charades going on. As for the restaurant's cleanliness, well, let's just say it left something to be desired. Greasy menus and tables strewn with dirty dishes don't exactly scream "sanitary." And don't even get me started on the restroom – it was a sight I won't easily forget. We decided to take the plunge and ordered four entrees, hoping they'd make up for the less-than-stellar experience so far. However, patience was truly tested as we waited a solid 30 minutes for those dishes to grace our table. We realized we hadn't ordered noodles, so we made that request. But after waiting an additional 40 minutes with no noodles in sight, we threw in the towel. In conclusion, unless you have a lot of time to spare and an unshakeable tolerance for slow service and questionable cleanliness, this might not be the place for you. While the prices are reasonable, the overall experience falls short of satisfying.

This is a conflicting review, lol. We waited for 75 minutes before our first dish comes out. Then 10 minutes before the next one. My buddy didn’t want to give it higher than a 3 star bc they took so long. But for the price? It’s very affordable. ***The second time we went, we waited 20 minutes so much improved. We ordered the salted pepper fish, good. They use a softer batter, which I don’t prefer. Fish was good in general. The black pepper sauce fish? Pretty awesome as well as the eggplant. The second best items were the snow pea leaves. The weakest dish was the mopo tofu, average, but some people may like the softer tofu dish. Overall for the food and price, 4 star. For the service, WAS 2 star and now 3-4 star. I hypothesize that the waiter/help staff put our ticket at the bottom behind 3 other tables and we got screwed in time. So either they needed more help or this guy messed up. Random: They remodeled several months later (2024). Gray walls and got rid of the pink.
