Wish I knew this was here a long time ago. This is an awesome place to get Chinese food. First off... Great prices! Like pre COVID prices compared to anyone else. They have a large menu, excellent lunch specials, clean place, and great service. The wife and I loved it. If you live or work nearby, stop in. Give them a try. Easy parking, clean bathrooms, fast service.

I live a block away & never noticed this place b4 since it's hidden from i10. Found it on maps as I wanted Chinese but didn't want to drive to westheimer. There was no one there as it was NYE. The lady at the counter was very nice. I ordered the G Tso's Chicken w/ upgrade of shrimp fried rice & sm egg Drop Soup & requested green onions. I love that they include fried wontons w/ soup! The chicken was good & the sauce had a unique homemade flavor. Rice was moist and flavorful. I was very pleased with the egg Drop Soup. Some places have that nasty thick goupy canned stuff but here it's very delicious as if made in house! Fair priced & good portions. I will definitely be back & try a beef entree next. It's a small place but they have several tables & booths. I'd recommend giving it a try if you are hungry for Chinese. One of the few spots in this area.

How can anyone go wrong going to a restaurant when the owners cook the food and serve it to you. It's a personalized service which many restaurants cannot match. A true Mom and Pop business. The quality of food is great and servings very generous. With the soup comes the crackers with a pleasant tasting sweet sauce. The ambiance is good and the music in the background is very relaxing. If you are looking for a laid back and relaxing meal give this place a try, I am pretty sure you will be pleasantly surprised. Whenever I am in the area I make sure I choose this place over others.

I took a 40 minute trip in order to get this food and was not disappointed! I called my order in and by the time I got there it was hot and ready. I got the beef broccoli and general Tso, I got a chance to take a picture of the beef broccoli but the general Tso was almost gone by the time I thought of taking a picture if you LOVE spice I’d recommend getting the most hot for general Tso since the medium hot is just a bit sweet and spicy, you feel the spiciness right after. I also got the egg drop soup...I missed having a good good egg drop soup! The lady was so nice and funny I highly recommend this place.
