    Best won ton soup EVER! Not even kidding. It's menu isn't cheap, but the food is totally worth it. Wait staff is pleasant, respectful and attentive.

    I’ve been eating here since I was a little kid. Loved their egg drop soup and how welcoming staff is. They call everyone’s moms and dads momma and papa, very sweet establishment I love their Mongolian beef with fried rice, really amazing comfort food!

    Food is great. The staff is sometimes a little rude to the customers I went a couple of days ago and one of the staff was yelling and being rude to a customer just because she didnt answer him his question quickly.

    I been ordering the same dish for 4 years. Black Bean String Bean Chicken extra spicy to go. What I appreciate is that the food here shines in quality and quantity. Parking used to be an issues but now that CVS is closed, there's no problem.

    The food here is great! I'm a long-time customer. It's always been consistent. The staff are friendly and the lady at the counter knows her regular customer's orders. Great place!

    Petition to add MSG to all dishes starting today. I went tonight and felt something was missing, then i realized, there is intentionally no msg to cater to the white customers. There is no need, bring on the MSG! The more the better.

    We stayed in town while on vacation and decided to give this place a try. Was very happy we did. It is cash only but it says it everywhere so we knew this. The food was authentic and tasted amazing. We ordered several different items and all were great. Wish we could have ordered more!!! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good treat.

    It is not fancy or anything special, but the food is consistent, and portions are large and affordable.
