This place is great. $7 lunch combo, $8 to upgrade to shrimp. The quantity and quality are both better than what you could expect from any lunch restaurant frankly.

Infinity stars! BEST Spicy Chicken Wings in San Diego! Long time client, consistency is top notch and the owners are a pleasure to deal with. Very kind and loving, shout out to my friends. FYI even my people from El Centro CA know where to get the best Walnut Shrimp and Spicy Wings when they visit SD! Now you know too.

Terrible food and terrible service. It’s rare that I write reviews but this place was so terrible that I’ve completely wasted $33 dollars. The “crispy orange chicken” is soggy and bland. The sweet and sour chicken, also tasteless and bland. The BBQ pork is also really bad. I can’t even stomach it. Will never go back to this place. They don’t allow you to dine in. You have to order your food at the door, in the cold and wait long time for bland food and leave with your food.

Every time I come here it is delicious!! And I’m pretty picky. Since living in the San Diego area for 7 years now, I have yet to find a better place. Always fresh, never disappoints and I hope they stay here forever. Portions are great, the place is simple and the owners are always there…she’s the cashier and is always nice. Sometimes she comes off a bit dry in personality but always professional and helpful. Never have seen her treat anyone bad. Definitely call ahead as the food is made to each order..but worth the wait!

I used to come here once a month. My last and final visit was this week. My total came out to $10.21 but my bank statement it came out to $12.21. I called the restaurant and said they didn’t charge me the $2 and told me its their credit card vendors fault and I had to contact them for the refund. I call BS, don’t eat here if you plan to get ripped off. It’s the principle of bad service than the $2 I care about. The lady and husband were rude and would try to cut me off as I was explaining the issue.

My wife has been coming here for probably at least 15 years. I have been picking up food from here with my wife for about 10 years. This place never disappoints. We were very hungry, so we decided to get chicken fried rice on Saturday, along with our Mexican food. Good choice, though we ended up with too much food, we were quite happy with our fried rice.
