This place! Enough said. Stumbled across this gem on a Saturday afternoon. The prices are amazing and the food is authentic. The but who served us super nice. Another lady who was there was her first time and loved it too! Then a party of six came in who have been coming for years and everyone talked. Have not found a more friendly place in Phoenix. The flavors are solid and the portions are large. I can’t say enough about the egg rolls. You can tell it is ALL handcrafted. No boxed junk from Shamrock Foods here. If you want to have fun experience, step back in time, and great food at great prices, then DON’T miss this place. Park in back and come on in!

My first time here and called in take out. When I got there, they were just wrapping up my order. Man oh man they came out with a BOX of food. I didnt realize how much I ordered!!! Lol, especially since the price was good. The food was delicious and you get your money's worth here. The guy working the cashier saw i was alone and had a lot to carry, he held the door for me as I left, very gentleman of him. I will be returning here

So I saw a lot of posts about this place. It's definitely good and it is affordable the sesame chicken was really good. I really liked the fried rice and the chicken/buffalo wings were very good! I would definitely recommend it but not sure how often I will visit as there are other places in town that might have a little bit more of what I am looking for in a Chinese restaurant. If you want to eat at a restaurant this is definitely one of the better places for sure especially with the price.

On the outside lo loking in, it doesn't look good. Inside, it's a bit dated and pretty plain. But, what this place lacks in physical features is made up with good, good food. We ordered the Mon golian Beef, wasn't that spicy but good enough. Beef with Broccoli was very flavorful, the sauce was excellent. The pork fried was also flavorful and crisp. Man, the Big Egg Rolls are Monsters. All in all, good place to eat, aside from the looks of the building. We'll eat here again.

Don't let the looks fool you. This place is perfect. It has such a cozy atmosphere and the food is to die for. The portions are huge and the service is top notch. Also, the Chow Mein had the authentic fried crunchy noodles my wife loves, so I'm beyond pleased.
