This hole in the wall place is actually really good. I bought lunch for my team at work and you can’t go wrong with some Chinese food.

Ordered two 2 item combos and one of the order was missing a whole entree. After reaching out to them and advising them of their mistake, they fixed it right away. Food was good and tasty! Definitely coming back!

Our first time in this establishment, located on Magnolia Street, El Cajon, CA. Our car was getting an oil change so we decided we’d try this place while waiting. Very simple, interiors, actually dated, a few chairs, tables & booths, seating for possibly 25 – 35 guests. It was a sort of “buffet style” as you walk in the door & greeted by the staff behind the enclosed buffet counter, where you can view the hot food selections in the warming tables, where the a lady was dishing out your choices. The menu above the wall behind her explains the serving choices – 1 entree & sides, 2-entree & sides, etc., with corresponding prices below it. Since it was just lunch, we decided we’d share a 2-entree plate. The lady dished out a good-sized serving of our order – Mushroom Chicken & Orange Chicken with some fried rice & noodles. We excitedly sat down & started to eat. Delicious!!, we both agreed, as we compared this to a very popular Chinese fast food fare around (Panda E..). These items were very freshly made, not overly seasoned or coated w too much batter or overly sweet & sour. Surprisingly good! As we got our call that our car was ready. I was so focused on enjoying my food that I completely forgot to take photos of it. We are returning soon, & I will definitely update this review of a great new “find” in El Cajon, for delicious Chinese food! Until then, try them, they’re near a Starbucks on B radley & Magnolia.

Let me just start and say I have been coming to this establishment for 2 years. I have never had any problems with my order. Since I moved and considering gas prices are at an all time extreme I only come once a month. Last I came in may recently and spent a good amount of money. I specifically asked if everything was in my order which was a big order and plus I had to wait 15 minutes . To my surprise when I get home I’m missing several items. When I called first I was told I can only get certain items back not the full items to be replaced. I didn’t by half of a meal, if I wanted just rice and noodles that would have been just my order. The lady I spoke to never put my name down. Every time I call, there is no manager. So basically I got robbed from this establishment. They took my money and didn’t provide great customer service. I will make sure I let people know to be careful when entering this establishment. The management has changed or something and the people at the counter just seem like they don’t care. How would anyone feel when you pay your hard earned money and don’t get what you pays for? Never coming here again. There are better places!!!

Didn’t even get to taste the food. Tried to call multiple times and got a mailbox full message, finally got a hold of someone, and they put me on hold for over 5 minutes with pots and pans banging in the background. Won’t be getting my business. I was excited to try this place, too.

Love the food… Always a first choice. But it depends on who isworking the service is great except for one lady. 2 forks for 3 3 side plates is ridiculous especially when you asked for 5. And one teriyaki sauce cup for 3 entrees of it isn’t right. Flavors amazing though!!!!
