This is a newly opened restaurant, and I have already gotten into the habit of eating here almost every day. At the beginning, I came out of curiosity, but after a few visits, it quickly became my regular spot. There are three main reasons why I keep coming back: the food is delicious, the staff are extremely friendly to customers, and the prices are very affordable.
First of all, the food is genuinely good. Every dish I’ve tried has been tasty and satisfying. The flavors are well done, and the food always feels fresh. Even though I eat here almost daily, I don’t get tired of it. That alone says a lot about the quality and consistency. You can tell the kitchen actually cares about what they are serving, not just rushing orders out.
One thing I really appreciate is how consistent the food is. Many restaurants are good once in a while, but this place delivers the same quality every time. Whether I come during a busy hour or a quiet time, the food always meets my expectations. That reliability is very important to me, especially since this has become part of my daily routine.
The service is another big reason why I like this restaurant so much. The staff are incredibly friendly, polite, and respectful. From the moment you walk in, they greet you warmly and make you feel welcome. They are patient when taking orders and always have a positive attitude. As a customer, you feel comfortable and valued, not rushed or ignored.
What really stands out is that their friendliness feels genuine. It’s not forced or robotic. They remember regular customers and sometimes ask how your day is going. These small details make a huge difference and create a pleasant atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you actually enjoy coming back, not just for the food but for the overall experience.
The prices are also very reasonable. In today’s economy, it’s hard to find a restaurant that offers good food at an affordable price. This place does exactly that. The portions are generous, the quality is high, and the prices are fair. I always feel like I’m getting great value for my money, which makes it easy to eat here often without worrying about cost.
For a new restaurant, they are doing an excellent job. Everything feels clean, organized, and professional. Even during busy times, orders come out on time and the staff remain calm and friendly. That shows good management and attention to customer experience.
Overall, this restaurant may not be fancy, but it offers what really matters: delicious food, kind service, and affordable prices. It has quickly become my go-to place, and I’m happy to support this business. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a place they can enjoy regularly. I will definitely keep coming back.

I was staying with friends nearby in Santa Monica and ended up walking to this spot almost every day I was in town. It was that good!!
What truly stood out was how warm and welcoming the staff was. The front lady was so sweet, she even called me Queen ❤️ and it made the whole experience feel personal and comforting.
We kept coming back for their lo mein which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made every single time. And I have to say… their sesame chicken? Easily some of the BEST I’ve ever had. Saucy, crispy, and unforgettable.
If you’re in the Santa Monica area, definitely stop by. I ended up there more times than I planned, which says everything.

i’m a foodie and I’m pretty picky. This is just small little place but the food is so tasty and the price is right. I had the shrimp and broccoli and a garlic sauce delicious and the egg flour soup they even have crispy noodles to put in it. And I have to say an egg roll should be crispy and they sure is. Go now!!!

My cousin and I were visiting Santa Monica for a week. We ordered from this restaurant 3 DAYS IN A ROW! The food WAS SOO GOOD that we had to come back. The customer service was incredible as well. We were greeted with the upmost kindness! We felt right at home.
We ordered the sesame chicken, lo mein, and shrimp shumai, and crab rangoon. & got exactly that everytime.
BEST SESAME CHICKEN I EVER HADDDD!

This place doesn’t look like much, but this hole in the wall is my go-to when it comes to pineapple & shrimp fried rice, and the other dishes never disappoint. It’s a great little place. The only thing, it’s take out only, unfortunately. Besides that, there s nice women to take your order or call and pick up. Oh, and they hook it up pretty well for the price. Enjoy

I came here for the first time yesterday and it was SO good!
We did order togo, but there are tables if you are planning to dine in. However, there is not a public restroom, but they did guide a customer through the back to utilize the kitchens.
The food took a little longer than estimated but it was also Halloween! They had a lot of togo orders, constantly getting calls and dings from mobile orders while I was waiting. I knew I found a good spot.
The person working the front was super kind she also placed my order over the phone. I have food allergies and they were accommodating.
We ordered fried rice, and they were able to make it without egg (which is standard), so you definitely know the food is made fresh!
We also ordered vegetable lo mein which was amazing! The lo mein had thicker noodles than I have had on the east coast, but I actually loved it.
I ended up getting the orange tofu and it was SO good! Still crispy even after a 15 minute drive home in togo containers. My husband got the sesame chicken and said it is the best that he has had in LA (high praise).
It was a large quantity of food, we barely made a dent and now we have left overs for the weekend. With getting a dish like tofu or chicken, a large rice could definitely be split between 4-6 people. Tofu dish or chicken dish could be split 2-4 people. The lo mein would be around 2 if it was your main dish, 4 if a side.
With purchasing basically 4 meals and including a 20% tip, I spent just over $50.
This will definitely be our regular, go-to spot for Chinese food! I am so glad I found it.

I asked for the schezuan to be medium spicy and wasn’t. Also it only comes with onion and peppers so was plain and disappointing. The rice was undercooked. Odd you get charged $2 for rice and then for it to be undercooked. For sure had crunchy spots. Not sure how they didn’t get that right. Hot and sour tasted like egg drop. Would not recommend this place.

Tried to call to cancel my order since they were closed. They did not let me speak. Order number 132920070. Please refund me….
Case update: I reached out to Menufy.com and got some help. Hopefully for my money back. Woman on the phone from the restaurant was super rude not letting me speak or be heard to ask for a refund or alternatively an order but for Wednesday night when they would be reopened.
Was quick to hang up too, did not get to speak to her at all. Would not recommend spending money here unless it is cash and you hand it to the cook in person.
