Solid local gem hidden in the shopping center. First time trying it and it was really good. We got the beef and broccoli, and the chicken lo mein and they were both excellent full of flavor and very tasty. The service was good and quick for to go orders. I would recommend ordering ahead of time now.

We got greeted with “you needed to make a reservation for more than 5” – we were 6. Ok, we did not know, but the problem was her way to communicate it to us and her attitude. A family member took us to this place because they like their food, so we stayed. After that, we decided to sit at different tables. Trying to get closer, I wanted to move to another table after it got cleaned, and the same lady started arguing with me. She was really rude, not even letting me talk. Then I can hear her complain about us with other customers. Should have left, but again, the family members wanted to eat here. The food was good, but you want the service, so you find ways to treat customers with respect. There are ways to communicate restaurant policies without making costumers feeling like they want to leave.

I ordered 72.00 worth of food. And I was missing my bbq item which cost me 14.00 dollars called back and let them know it wasn’t with my order and they tried to say it was. But wasn’t obviously they needed the 14 dollars more than me. Bad customer service. Made it seem like I was lieing. Definitely won’t be going back.

Awesome food and friendly, fast service. Everything I’ve had here over the years is good, but I especially recommend the salt and pepper chicken wings and the cashew chicken.

This is the only place my husband and myself will go for Chinese food. We have been going to this location for twenty years and counting. It is the sweetest family owned restaurant. We have had the pleasure of getting to know the family and watch their children grow up. The food is always fresh and hot. The wonton soup, mushroom chicken, and sesame chicken are to die for. The sauces they make for the dishes are perfection. I have brought several friends and family members to this restaurant and they have turned into life time customers.

really unfortunate. I used to really like this place. but it has gone downhill post pandemic. service isn’t as friendly as it used to be. food quality isn’t what it was. sad as I used to drive the 30-40 minutes from San Ysidro for their food. most recent visit will probably be the last one.

Food is a hit or miss. But, customer service in non-existent post pandemic. Simply rude, probably because they’re the only Chinese Cuisine in the area besides Panda Express.

This is everything you want in a Chinese food establishment. Food comes out quick too! Be aware that parties of 6 or more need to make a reservation. It’s a popular spot with limited space.

Showed up with my wife and 3 kids. Apparently you need a reservation for 5 or more. They told us the only way they would serve us is if we split up and set at 2 different tables even though the restaurant was half empty. What am I gonna tell my little one that they have to go sit at the table by them self. We took our business elsewhere.
