Its obvious why this place is so highly rated. If youve eaten Chinese food in California since you were a kid, like I have, this is the classic experience. Its kind of set up like a Panda Express, so depending on when you go in, the food may have been sitting there for a little while but its still good.The menu section is exceptionally large, offering specials, combos, and a wide variety of soups that you typically dont find at most takeout Chinese restaurants. With that said, the portions are huge, something youve become accustomed to when getting California Chinese food. Food. Can expect the kind of plate that your mother delivers to you right after she questions if youve been getting enough to eat.I actually would have given this place five stars, but when I got my takeout home, it was missing one crucial thing that really completes the experience. Experience. I didnt get any fortune cookies.

Wow! 25 years of living in fremont and I just found out about this place. My family has been here once a week for the past month and plan to keep this place in rotation. Staff is friendly and food hits the spot. Giving it 5 stars because I miss places like this. Ditch the panda and come support this place.

Comfort Asian food for decent prices. They stack the plates up high with your entrees and it’s pretty filling. The restaurant has a cute atmosphere and decorations while still being a convenient place to grab and go if you’re in a hurry. Business is family owned by nice people. 10/10 recommend the sesame balls. It’s a little hard to find the place because a tree blocks the sign from the street.

I was very satisfied with the quick service, and the delicious food, very nice people, I noticed that they actually give plates to homeless people at end of the night, instead of throwing away the food. Thats a class act

The lady owner has a good PR and allocates quite generous portion unlike the cashier assistant who at times don’t know how to price the order, less portions and yes she needs to smile. Better that she leaves her worries behind and focus on her work.

Food very fresh and nice portion. They let you customize the food. Say if you dont like celery they can cook up your order without if you call im advance.

I just found this small little gem of a spot recently and I have already been there a few times. Their customer service is amazing and their food is mouth watering, fresh, delicious and hearty. My new favorite place to come for a delicious plate.

Fell in love with this place after trying their bbq pork, they get it right!!! Also tried their salt and pepper jalapeno wings, also amazing. I eventually went in person and found out they also do Panda Express/Cafeteria style food as well thats pre-made. You can order up to a 4 item tray, and they are super generous with the portions AND the pricing. This is my new favorite Chinese takeout by a mile. Service is incredibly warm as well.

I honestly cant say enough good things about this mom and pop Chinese food restaurant down the street from us. The food is always on-point and their team is super friendly. Weve been going here for years and love it! Delivery is always quick, but picking up in person to say hi to the team is always nice too. Sometimes they even throw in some freebies with our order!If youre buying local, this is definitely one place that deserves your business.

Love this place. They have really good prices and you get a lot of food. They are fast and the food is great. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. They have the option to either get plates/combos to go from the hot and ready bar or you can be seated in the dining area and order to eat there (just not right now due to covid-19). The dining area decor is very cool too in my opinion.

I came here for the first time because I was very hungry and wanted food right away. The food was fast and delicious. Generous portions. I came back because of the warm staff though. I came a second time and again staff was friendly. I like bringing my business to establishments that are happy doing what they do.

The workers here were so accommodating!! I let them know about my sesame allergy and they prepared me chicken with veggies and steamed white rice with no sesame oil at no extra cost even though they had to make it fresh. Also, it tasted great. Portion is okay for the price!

I called in an order as everyone ordering used the online menu and all the prices are WRONG The amount should have been $42.00 she quotes $79.99?? She said the prices online are not correct? Lucky I checked the price when I ordered... we ended up going to Tasty where the prices are correct
