I really love the egg drop soup shrimp fried rice taste better than it looks Siri that I expected it to be a little oily and salty but it was not

A literal hole in the wall, but a hidden gem. I’ve been ordering from here since 2010 and the food has always been delicious. The portions sizes are big enough for two people even if you order a small size. The lady at the window is always kind and happy to help. I definitely recommend ordering from here!

WOW was this Chinese food amazing. I just got over a stomach bug and was craving some egg drop soup. I decided to order from China Snack for the first time and got egg drop soup, beef/broccoli, and sweet/sour pork. EVERYTHING was some of these best I’ve ever had. Portions are massive also. I emptied everything out to my glass ware for storage and shocked how full everything is. **CASH ONLY**

This has become our family go to spot for Chinese food. Sweet and sour chicken and general tso chicken are the two dishes we order on a regular basis. Cash only, take out only.

Much better than 20 years ago... this is one business that the pandemic made a positive impact to.
