My favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is soo good. I always order to go and the food is always, always good. The best potstickers ever.

Very delicious! I got the chicken and mixed vegetables with steamed rice. Their lunch special came with a corn soup, which was also tasty and a nice way to start the meal. I liked the sauce on the chicken and vegetables a lot. Rice just needed soy sauce. Nice and large portions. Also came with fried wontons and sweet and sour sauce. My husband liked the spicy orange chicken but didn’t find it spicy. We shared the Chinese chicken salad as well. Even their tea was good! Would happily come back.Parking: Shared lot with laundromat and liquor store, felt safe too.Kid-friendliness: Noticed a high chair.

My wife's favorite spot. Chow mein is good but their sweet and sour chicken is too sweet for me. Staff is always attentive and very family friendly.

I came to eat with my family and was disappointed with the service. Since we walked in the lady was rude, did not say anything. We had to figure out the seating ourselves. When I asked for a cup and a straw for my child, she walked away without saying anything. I ordered broccoli and chicken and the chicken was completely raw and slimy. I asked for broccoli and beef instead and the lady said no that is that what i had ordered. My husband asked for a coke and she came back with just the coke and literally threw it at my husband. Do not waist your money here. The food is ok but the service is horrible, if anything choose take out.

The best Chinese food ever. I have eaten at this place for 20 plus years I think it changed owners but the food is on point I have been telling all friends about it and deserves to be recognized. If you want great food this the place for you. Trust me the lunch specials are to die the soup yummmm come on!!!!!

A friend recommended this Chinese restaurant several years ago. Some of our usuals are hot and spicy tofu, orange chicken, fried rice, chow mein, chicken salad. We order online and they always get the order correct. The restaurant gets busy with the many phone orders. Be patient as they are taking and fulfilling orders. The food tastes good. We have tried other Chinese restaurants and we always come back to this one. I have not eaten inside the restaurant since before covid. I have witnessed friendly, attentive and respectful service to those that choose to eat in the restaurant.

Summary: I recommend this place only if you don't mind about an almost rude service. I say almost rude because if you know what I'm talking about - Chinese servers - then I suppose you can get past that. Food: I liked everything I tried from this place, no complaints. Not salty, it bland, to the best of my knowledge ingredients are fresh, food cooked just right. Portion wise, it'a not that much, but definitely better than other places. A plate can be shared with two people. Parking: free Bathroom: clean but don't expect fancy. Service: As mentioned above, not stellar but it's the kind of service you'll experience from most of the authentic Chinese restaurants.

The service is very bad, the lady who serves does it in a bad way. I don't recommend at all, the food leaves a lot to be desired, there are better options.

This place used to be good but as of late they have been giving less and less of the meat in my entrees. This last time I ordered a dinner for 2 and changed the soup, when I received it, it was little more than halfway filled. That was the last straw for me and I wont be going back. The woman that answered the phone was rude as usual when I called to give them a chance to fix the shortage.

The food is very good there one of the owners I believe her name is Connie is super nice we have been going there for years. However the other woman that works there is extremely rude. I know she been there for several years now but honestly if she happens to answer the phone I prefer to hang up.

A hidden treasure in El Sobrante. I have known Paul (owner) for over twenty years and his cooking is always the best.

Haven't been here in years so we thought we'd give it a try. The service was bad and they were rude. Tried to order one thing and the waitress got mad and basically told me what to order. Very awkward and experience. Pot stickers had a 20 minute wait and then they were raw inside. Also had a funny taste. We ordered two orders of those and left them behind. We let the waitress know. Gnats hovering over the condiments. Sorry to say waste of money.

Love this place. Total hole in the wall restaurant but the food is very good, quickly prepared, great portion size, and clean. I usually go there for lunch and never leave disappointed. I've ordered food to go and always have a very good experience. The prices are also very reasonable. The fish filet in black bean sauce is excellent!
