When we first walked in we were a little frightened by the heat of the kitchen but quickly discovered the dining area is nice and cool with an A/C unit and fan so don’t let that be a deal breaker for you when you walk in.

“ I’m so happy to find them again. Great food and prices! My go to Wonton and beef brisket Mein is definitely worth the drive. They do offer dine in and take out. ”
“ A person I met recommended this place so I decided to have my late lunch/early dinner here as I was passing by. I bought ginger chicken/char siu with rice for 14.61 with tax included. To my surprise it was a lot when it came and I was barely able to finish it. The char siu and the ginger chicken were very good. The server spoke loud in both chinese and english and she was very friendly. I went there at 3 pm so there was no other dine in customers but they seemed very busy with lots of take outs. I am glad to have tried this place. ”
