:: Review ::
We’ve driven past this place probably about 100 times literally. Each time the faded front facade took away our appetite so we never brought up the courage to stop and actually eat there. Amoung other reasons it’s one of two Chinese restaurants in a predominantly mixed-race area; to be blunt there are few asians or chinese.

We were extremely surprised to not only find a decent variety of Chinese food but the service and staff were extremely friendly and warm. The menu consisted of various Cantonese styled dishes like Chow-Mein, Chow Fun and assortment of stir-frys to Taiwanese style noodle soups. Of course they also had most of the popular American-Chinese dishes; Kung-pao shrimp/chicken, Mushu pork, broccoli beef and the like.

The inside proved to be much more presentable then it’s exterior. They had beautiful traditional Chinese paintings spread across many parts of the dining room and it was lit fairly well and felt quite spacious. The entrance lobby area felt large and generous and unlike most dingy Chinese restaurants this place was generally pretty clean.

Given the location, cost and overall dining experience I think we will frequent this place when craving some typical down home Chinese cooking. Plus they have a 9.95/person entree special that includes .
