This family owned restaurant is a place my family and I have been going to for decades. The portions are as big as all of the freindly smiles from the staff. The food is delicious and the drink selection is huge. They even speak Spanish to my grandmother to get her order. My family can all get stuffed and have leftovers without breaking the bank. We hope you enjoy this place as much as my family does.

Food is amazing, nice and welcoming staff and a very warm atmosphere i read the negative reviews and expected very little, but ended up leaving delighted. I recommend this place for all who want to try it.

We just discovered this wonderful little restaurant, almost too good to be true. Super friendly owner, GREAT food (we had won ton soup, beef w/ broccoli and combo #4), very generous servings and unbelievably low price. Plan to visit weekly from now on and cannot recommend it any higher.

The amount of food you get in 1 8.00 meal is enough to feed 3 people. They are very generous with portions. The food is tasty and fresh. You can order specials and have a freshly cooked meal within minutes. Its been around for a while and my family has always enjoyed it. Staff is friendly and helpful as well. Picture shows my meal seperated into a bowl to take to work rhw next day as well as rhe food leftover aftwr I had already ate a portion for dinner. Super value.

I’ve been dinning here for years now ! Jenny and her staff are always friendly and kind. Home made Chinese! Try their secret menu! If you know you know ! I got the house chop suey, and a side of teriyaki chicken! Also try their ribs ! A must try.
