This is an amazing neighborhood spot for Chinese food! The staff were welcoming and pleasant and the food came out hot and fresh. I've been looking for a place with great Beef Chow Foon and they did not disappoint, the noodles were soft and fresh and the beef was super tender. Egg rolls are also a must.

Cute little spot thats been recently remodeled. Clean, welcoming and family-run. Food is Americanized Chinese and delicious. Everything is made from scratch and taste so fresh. My favorites are hot and sour soup, Mongolian beef and Sweet and Sour Chicken. We come back at least monthly. So so good!

New location, but it's still the same great family restaurant. They have a fantastic variety to choose from. My favorite is the pork fried rice that comes with the hot spicy soup. The vietnamese coffee is great for a quick pick me up. Very friendly staff/family.

I’m so lucky to have discovered this spot! The sweet and sour chicken was unbelievably fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. Easily one of the best I’ve had—can’t wait to come back! The staff are so kind and friendly!

This place is so good and you can’t go wrong with anything you order. And the portions are amazing especially for the price. I love their hot and sour soup you get with your order, to die for. I’ve been coming to this family owned restaurant for a decade at least. The service you get makes you feel at home and part of the family when you come here. And their eating area is spotless. I always support small businesses be this one takes the cake and holds a special place in my heart that is well deserved.

The outside of the building is nothing to look at but the inside is just fine. The food though... the food is phenomenal. Please don’t pass this place up for its exterior. It’s amazing, plentiful and cheap. Their egg rolls are the best I’ve ever had. They offer complimentary hot tea and soup. Their Thai tea is awesome. Will definitely be back
