    Jalapeño chicken is the best here !!!! A smal portion is $3.50. The owner is so generous with the portion here, she stuff as much chicken as she can into the box!! And always offer to let you try samples!! It's a family business; great service!! I come here several times a month.

    I keep coming back for my special request and leave very happy. I'm picky af and this place is my go to chinese food spot now. I definitely struggled finding a replacement since there was a change in ownership at my previous favorite spot on 4th & Soto. The chowmien does need a little more flavor but it's better than most others I've tried. They also have the best spicy fried chicken. The guest service is also very friendly,  Kathy is genuinely kind.

    This place is amazing! I have been coming here since I was a child! The owners are so friendly and generous! They are very nice to talk to and if you come here very often they will remember you. It's a family owned business and they always give you free egg soup with your order. The prices are really cheap and the quality of the food is great! I love the food here! I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area! This place is very well maintained and sometimes can get busy depending on time you come because of the hospital close by but you will always have great service by kind owners. They fill the box as much as they can and are super generous with their serving sizes! Definitely recommend this restaurant!

    I mostly come for their combination won ton soup, but I've had a couple of their other items.

    It's a typical fast food Chinese take out joint, very much like Panda Express, but probably better. They have the typical to go items such as fried rice, chow mein, beef and broccoli and etc.

    I absolutely love their wonton  soup, though. You have the option of ordering the won ton soup with chicken, pork, beef, shrimp or all of the above. I usually get all meats just cause I'm such a fatty and it just taste great. The broth has a clean taste to it. The wontons itself have a good amount of filling.

    The workers are super friendly and nice. I wish that people would be realistic in their expectations from a Chinese fast food. Obviously, food isn't going to taste exactly like a 5 star restaurant or even a sit down meal. However, it's still pretty good.
