I really like chicken broccoli with white sauce. Person taking the orders is really friendly. I go there 2 or times every month.

This food was so good. I got the number 114 pork mixed in with noodles Cantonese style. And my husband got the lunch special beef and broccoli. I’m impressed

I recommend the orange chicken! It’s not spicy which is good if that’s your preference and it was very flavorful and had the right amount of sweetness. The vegetable fried rice was also very good!

Food was pretty good in you're in a pinch, plus they open early. The interior is cozy and neat and their service was quick and amicable. Ordered chicken curry, chicken fried rice, and a couple of eggrolls. The eggrolls were pretty standard and the fried rice was tasty, albeit just a bit too oily, and the chicken curry was fragrant and scrumptious but not as spicy as I would have preferred. Overall, quite decent. Cheers!

Very clean, fresh-tasting food. Not overly salty. The fried rice was very disappointing. No meat. Just rice and and occasional bean sprout. We got a shrimp chop suey combination lunch, which came with the plain fried rice and a vegetable egg roll and a small shrimp subgum, with an extra egg roll. They ran out of shrimp egg rolls so we can't say how much better they would have been.

brought home dinner. Opened the container. Food looked good until I saw the dead fly. Gross. What a waste

I just moved into the neighborhood, and decided to try out this restaurant, I ordered shrimp fried rice and sweet and sour chicken, the chicken was good but the rice had regular onion instead of their usual green string onion. I have never in my lifetime fe seen that type on onion in shrimp fried rice. I did not like it at all. I had to share. Below is the picture of all the onions I took out.

Food is good but they don't like giving out sauces especially hot sauce. Super stingy on it and would give out 1 when you ordered food for 5 people!!!
