Don't reopen this place... Sell this place to Mama Lu's Dumpling House, which urgently needs a bigger space.

Good food. But quite slow in the line to pay. People just don't line up. Making it hard to know whose turn next.

This is a very typical authentic Cantonese restaurant with BBQ takeout counter. They have great selection of special lunch menu (from 11am to 5pm) $10.99 for beef, chicken, pork dishes and $11.99 for seafood and other dishes as of June 2022. The price is very reasonable, and foods are good but not amazing. You can find better authentic Cantonese restaurant in the same area. However, they do have the best Steamed Salted Chicken 貴妃雞 in town. -1 star for some dishes are very salty especially the Soy Sauce Chicken.Quick tips: Don’t expect great service there if you don’t speak Chinese. Must order their Steamed Salted Chicken 貴妃雞!!

PROS: The tomato beef was good, noodles crispy crunchy...big hunks of bell pepper, onions and beef. Nice vinegar bite. Came to table hot with steam rising The white fish with Chinese broccoli (gai lan) with big button mushrooms, successful deliciousness. The service was watchful, so when we perched askew the cap of the teapot, it was quickly refreshed with hot water...when we needed more rice, quick to swoop in and give us more rice. Need a fork, easy no problemmo... waiters were quick to respond...dishes were clean...the dining room spacious with open seating plan. Pleasant place, kinda old school. CONS: The other three dishes ordered were lukewarm or cold, as was our first batch of rice. The daikon in the beef stew wasnt cooked, too al dente...The shrimp dish looked lovely but some of the shrimp were still a wee bit raw in the center...tho they were nice jumbos and well cleaned. Maybe an off day for the chef... We didn't complain bec we knew it would all be leftovers for later, so easily finished off in a wok later at home. The cold dish of roast pork and roasted chicken...this dish was meant to be cold... were broken in odd shattered pieces..instead of being from the same portion of pork or from the same section of chicken. Overall, it was a nice leisurely, "no one rushing you out" lunch. Other diners also were having a nice visit.

Great food quality and great service! They offer great value for what your pay for. It is a hidden gem in the SGV.

Typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Waitress also plays the role of the bus boy and janitor while one dines. Food quality exceeds my expectation because the chef knows what he/she is doing.

I would give this place zero stars, terrible service and terrible food!!! Before I ever make any negative remarks on Yelp, I would always always give the business a second try, certainly the second experience was worst than the first. Not only have they made me wait an extra half an hour for an order that was prepaid, the second try was they never even placed the order. The food is subpar to other restaurant quality

4 of us came in for lunch. Very extensive luncheon menu with reasonable prices. We didn't expect too much but the food was surprisingly tasty! We had : 2 pigeons , fried pork knuckle, fish sauce eggplant with meat, Singaporean rice noodle and string beans. Every dish was above average with minimum MSG. We did not run into and rude servers. They were all pleasant and provided prompt services.

I always come here for a quick takeout order of BBQ pork on rice and Duck on rice. Quick, tasty, and affordable. I haven't sat down in their dining area to eat with the pandemic and all. It's a little hard to order when the guys don't speak english.

The food was ok but the waitress was the most rude I’ve ever seen. Take to go. Don’t dine in.
