Our favorite Chinese restaurant in town! My family and I have been coming here for years. The family who runs it is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Not only is it affordable, but the portion sizes are generous too. We love being able to share plates and try a bit of everything.

Love this place so much 💕 been coming here since I was a kid and the food is still great. I think they have new owners? Not sure but the food is still delicious! The customer service is great too, very kind workers. I dont know why people are complaining about the wait time in the comments... This isnt fast food its a Chinese restaurant. They will be cooking the food for you, its worth the wait. But I do think they take longer when you are eating in the restaurants as opposed to pickup. Every restaurant does this honestly..If you dont want to wait too long, one tip I can give you is to order for pickup. I always order for pick up. They tell me it will be ready in 15-20min. It takes me about 25min to get there and my food is always ready by the time I arrive. This giant order I placed was ready when I arrived (it took me about 25min to get there.)

Great tasting food. Found to be my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Quiet place, relaxing, very friendly employees, very accurate, repeats the order to make sure nothing is forgotten. I was recommended to this restaurant by a friend. I have been here twice so far, and I am not disappointed. I usually order drinks and take the food to go. Took about 30min or so for the food to be ready.

Very good place to eat. Friendly staff, quiet area, great food (chow mein, orange chicken, Beijing beef, their walnut pineapple chicken, and egg rolls are best in town, hands down). Drinks are limited and short-staffed, so they take a little long to take your order, but definitely worth the wait!

I normally go to go cheef lees for the Slizzing Rice Soup but they were closed so I decided to try this place out and I’m glad I did! The price is right for the amount they give you I like to add extra crisp rice but that’s just my preference. The Lady who gave me my order was nice they actually waited for me since they were already closing :) you know that feeling is always nice! I still have to try other plates but forsure my 2nd place to go for the slizzing rice soup! It’s so good..

Small, quiet Chinese restaurant. We took my in-laws out for lunch for Fathers Day. The food was delicious and portions were generous. Its decor was American diner but our booth was comfy and large enough for four adults.I especially enjoyed the Happy Family dish which features three meats and variety of veggies. Its garnished with fried wontons. The fried shrimp appetizers were very oily and bland. The Kung Pao chicken had the right amount of heat. Mom-in-law liked the chow mein and the sweet and sour pork.Parking was a problem. The restaurant is across from the Rodeo grounds and a big event was going on. We found a parking place near the restaurant but it was a struggle getting out of our space and out of the shopping center.
