We came on Christmas Day. The food is very good. We ordered the Sesame Cake, Tea Smoked Duck, Sweet and Sour Fish, Beef & Scallion, and the Hot and Sour Soup.
Very impressive flavors.

I loved their food! This is probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in Dallas in the last two years. A husband and wife run the business, and the atmosphere is simple and calm—no chaos or rush. The food is great. What more could we need?

This restaurant running by 2 owner only, offer some good dishes, recommand for soy bean paste fish, stir fried vegetables, we also order fried rice, steam pork belly with pickled mustard, oyster fry those dishes are pretty ordinary, need to do some try and error and knowing what’s good dishes for you, price here is fair, I will come back to support their business.

This is a very Chinese, Chinese restaurant. If you’re not sure what I mean, you should take a look at the menu; pig intestines, and pigs blood are included in several of their dishes. That being said, they also have the standard American Chinese food. Such staples as orange chicken.
I noticed they had several tofu options on the menu so I was excited because not many Chinese restaurants these days seem to have much in the way of tofu, and today I was wanting to try something vegetarian. I’m glad I asked about the vegetarian portion when I got there. Nearly every tofu dish had either pork or fish in it. Only the tofu with vegetables was actually vegetarian. And then it’s not truly vegetarian, as the brown sauce seems to be chicken stock based. But oh it was good!
Being a real Chinese restaurant and not an American Chinese restaurant, don’t expect fried rice with your entree. It seems that they only serve white rice with everything. Though you can order a fried rice dish. The food was tasty and I’ll probably be back, but will ask about every single dish since I avoid pork products.

FEEL LIKE HOME!
We have been coming to the restaurant weekly since 2007. My son loves their fish tofu (none spicy). We came here every time we came back in town from the trip to taste being home. The restaurant is own by a coupe nearly 30 years. And I do not know how they do that. They do not hire anyone to work for them. They do everything on their own. Such an amazing and powerful couple is!!! We love come here to talk to them and hear about their adventures. A lot of customers have been coming here generation after generation.

As a Chinese food lover, I’m pretty picky about places I eat at. I was coming home from work, and googled ‘Chinese near me’ and discovered this restaurant. I nearly skipped it and boy I’m glad I didn’t. The food was unbelievably good, the best I’ve had in the DFW. It was different, yet perfect. I couldn’t put the fork down. I had the orange chicken, and I just couldn’t stop eating. So delicious, so crispy and flavorful. The rice was also nice. Will absolute be returning.

This mom and pop location saved on my favorite list. Small family owned restaurant served some quick and delicious food selections. We love their Kung Pao with 3 meats, the satay beef and the fish fillet with bean sauce.
Highly recommended this hole in a wall place. This place served the Chinese community for a long time. You will not be disappointed.

Not sure what’s going on here, but the food has been going down hill. The chicken was fried to death. The shrimp fried rice had 5 shrimp in it. The egg rolls tasted just like the ones you find in the frozen section of the grocery store. Their food used to be the best around. Maybe I hit an off night? Not the first time though. I want the old restaurant back.
