We have a new spot for Chinese food! The food here was delicious! They have No MSG proudly posted on their menu and you can tell by the way you don’t feel bloated after. MSG stands for Mono Sodium Glutamate. Sodium is salt, and salt makes you retain water for bloating. The food was very good and expertly seasoned!

We trusted Google maps to lead us to the nearest Chinese cuisine. We were pleased with the results! We will be returning. No MSG’s left my tummy happy. I ate everything and felt energized after our meal. The dining area is small, seating a dozen people or so. We took our meal to go and plated it at home 10 minutes later. The pictures say 1000 words! My tummy says thank you. The staff was abundant and friendly. Our meal of three dishes took 10 minutes to complete. Thank you China Inn.

Ordered my favorite Mo Po To Fu with rice for lunch, mediocre taste (came very spicy hot, was surprised but fine with me), baseline 3-star. Very small portions for the price (minus 1 star). Friendly staff (plus 1 star). Got diarrhea in the evening, highly suspicious of the cleanliness and/or spoilage of the food I got (minus 1 star). I order this dish often from different restaurants, and sometimes I even make them myself, I know my system handles it well.

Nice little mom & pop shop with good food and a simple menu. Has all the core dishes and the service is quick whether it be pick up or dine-in. May not be as flavorful as other locations but still solid. Props to them for serving MSG-free food. Portions are good and prices are average. Chef’s Special Chow Mein is worth a try. The interior isn’t too spacious and the parking in the back can be full on weekends. Located in the Alameda this spot looks a bit outdated compared to next door businesses. The Staff closes for their lunch 1pm-4pm.

Have been here twice on two separate trips to CA . Both times were awesome. Second time it was 9pm, we had just arrived in the city after hiking at Yosemite and were starving- half an hour wait even late at night but totally worth it. We got a spread of appetizers and all were great. Love the potstickers. Can’t beat the prices.
