Honestly I'm a simple man, they have great food for a good price. If you're all about having some crazy atmosphere like 54th Street, this isn't the place for you. They are very down to earth people who serve good food. Would suggest anyone to try them as they are good!

I always come here when I'm pulling an all-nighter and they always NEVER disappoint with their portions. They always pack my plate FULL with tofu, onions, and bell peppers and it means a lot to me when I'm up late at night at college. I ordered the " DELUXE TOFU WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE, STEAM RICE, EGG DROP SOUP, CRAB RANGOONS, AND 32OZ COKE ZERO". I will continue coming here even after graduation and for the rest of my life!!! Very sorry for the inaccurate photos, I ate some of the food before taking the picture because I was impatient. It's THAT GOOD!!!

#1 Chinese food restraunt in San Antonio! I have been coming here for years! I came across this restraunt when I was in college and now I come here frequently with my family. It's a lovely hidden gem if you have never been here before. It is a quiet welcoming restraunt with prestige customer service. Calvin & Jennifer are two of our favorite servers. The food is always perfect and the won ton soup is the best! & the sweet tea is on point! It is nice to be able to go somewhere where you see the same smiling faces and get treated like family. Highly, highly recommend this place if you are looking for great Chinese food at a great price! You won't regret it!

Walked in and was surprised how nicely the interior was decorated. Was seated and ordered ice tea and the seafood delight plate. Staff were friendly and helpful. My dish arrived piping hot and the aroma was enticing. The vegetables were fresh and the seafood mix was wonderful. This plate came with fried rice and an egg roll. Everything on my plate was delicious. I very much enjoyed my dinning experience here.

Caveat to this review is I've never dined inside, but let me tell you about how much I love their take out! The sesame chicken is at least second best I've ever had. The General Tso's chicken is also a dish I regard just as highly. All of the plates are an incredible value and are piled high. Shockingly, they even reheat well! You aren't eating here for health, but you will be ready to eat here again on taste alone!

Really solid Chinese (and some Vietnamese) options here! Last two times here we've had Myranda as our server....very fast and friendly!! Our now "go-to" Chinese restaurant! Update: in addition to all the good Chinese food we ordered yesterday, I also tried the spring roll Vietnamese vermicelli bowl...to go. Skip this....it was pretty bad. Noodles were a gooey mess and the only other ingredient was chopped up iceberg lettuce with the rolls.
