Used to know the previous owners well and loved their food growing up. I still wanted to try this place with the new owners because there are some dishes that are the same from before. The food wasn’t the same but the house special chicken seemed similar and the other foods were very good too. We just didn’t like the black sauce jajangmein, it’s definitely not Korean Chinese style like before but everything else was good. There are many Chinese restaurants in this plaza but only this place has many customers. Remember they are closed between 3-5 pm. We had dessert first at Meet Fresh waiting for them to reopen.

Okay so I’ve been coming here for 15 years and this place is THE BEST CHINESE FOOD YOU’LL FIND AROUND!! Seriously, mouth watering quality and it never disappoints. ALWAYS consistent flavor. NO wait times. GREAT for family/friend gatherings or by yourself. FRIENDLY STAFF. Highly recommend to anyone. Must-try dishes: bean curd with pork, green onion pancake.

I've been coming here for most of my (relatively speaking) short life and they've almost always treated my family and me very well. The 蔥油餅 (scallion pancakes) are a must order i usually see it on at least 3/4 of all the tables everytime I come by, super crispy fluffy still can't replicate them myself. We always order fish dumplings and usually the house chicken or sliced beef (we used to order house chicken more cause my grandma loved it but the chicken has been becoming more and more boney/gibletty). The food is more similar to Taiwanese Chinese food. Staff is friendly (though I just let my family order i can't speak mando) and the place is fairly clean. Easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants.

Visiting another business around town and decided to try this restaurant. Excellent food, fresh ingredients, and excellent service. It was early in the afternoon, so we were the first ones in. It was amazing to hear our food being cooked on the wok amd the aroma reach our table. The green onion pancakes are delicious, better than other places around this area. Highly recommend.
