The salt pepper fried fish fillets are so delicious. Crispy on the fried skin and tender juicy inside. Very surprisingly tasty. The chicken is nice too. Good flavor, however it is not typically exactly the same flavor I had before. However it is still good with rice.

What a bargain for lunch! I was in the mood for lo mein and came upon this restaurant in my search in the area. I didn't know how much their lunch special were until I sat down and looked at their menu. Wow! You cannot beat $11 for lunch these days and the food was served on a huge platter! I almost laughed when the waitress brought it out to the table. This is a small restaurant with a few small patio tables in front. It was a weekday and it wasn't busy. The cashier/waitress was really friendly and nice. She had a ready smile for everyone who came in. I wanted shrimp lo mein for lunch but only chicken or pork lo mein were on the lunch menu. I paid $2 more for shrimp and there were a lot in my dish. It was really good. The side salad was plain and just mainly iceberg lettuce but the egg roll was good.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was a complete letdown. From the moment I sat down, the service was lacking—our server didn’t even offer drinks. Things got worse when I struggled with their payment device, and instead of helping, she slapped my hand. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable behavior. As for the food, the sizzling soup had absolutely no flavor, and to make things worse, they gave me Rice Krispies to add to it? I don’t know what they were thinking, but it did nothing to improve the taste. Overall, I would not recommend this place. Bad service, bland food, and a strange approach to soup. Definitely won’t be coming back.

Everything was delicious and cheap! The beef and snow peas comes with a side of rice! And for $4.95 extra you can add soup, egg roll and a fried wonton!
