Tasty Roast Meat with Generous Portions
I got some roast meat take out from here. I tried both the roast pork and the ribs, and I found both to be tasty. This place is incredibly busy, seemingly the busiest on the block! I noticed they offer generous portions.

Great Homestyle Cooking and Value
My experience at this restaurant was positive, with a really nice lady serving there. The food is good and flavorful, offering regular homestyle cooking. It's important to note that there are two restaurants that look similar next door to each other, so make sure to go to the correct location (the one with the 3-item plate for $6), which offers a very big plate. It's also more valuable to purchase food by the takeout box. Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5

Mixed Experience with Service Recovery
My experience at the restaurant was a mix of disappointment and pleasant surprise. I had asked for pork chai sui but received beef instead. Additionally, a friend's pan-fried geen jur mein was not crispy and described as mushy. He also requested a little curry, but it ended up tasting like tomato beef chow mein, unlike the crispy and perfect version he's had at Empero. This was quite disappointing. However, the lady was very nice and friendly, and she offered us a complimentary dish of salt and pepper. This gesture helped to make up for the misorder and the less-than-crispy geen jer mein. It's also a shame they no longer sell their ice cream, which was a bargain at 50 cents.

Kindness Reminded Me of Grandparents
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly touching. The Chinese couple who owned it were so kind and caring. While I was waiting for my party tray order, they generously gave me a free ice cream and egg roll. Their warmth and attentiveness reminded me of my own grandparents, which was particularly emotional as they are no longer with me. They even offered to help me to my car. I tried to express my gratitude in my broken Cantonese. I will definitely be coming back again.

Consistently Messed Up Orders
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly frustrating due to their consistent inability to get my order right. They don't seem to understand English, and they repeatedly messed up my take-out orders. I specifically asked for no salt twice, and they still added salt. I gave them three chances, and each time they failed to fulfill my order correctly. I ended up throwing away a couple of orders because they were so wrong. For comparison, Wing Hing, Uncle Yu, and Tops are all so much better!

Great Hot and Sour Soup!
My experience at this restaurant was good. They are cash only and conveniently located in my neighborhood. The guy in the back consistently makes the hot and sour soup fresh, and it is so good.

Great Food, Chill Service, Amazing Value!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food was really great, and the woman who helped with selling the food was very chill. It was also cheap for the quality of the food. I highly recommend this place!

No Frills, Decent Food
My experience at this restaurant was that of a no-frills, cheap eat. The food was decent and tasty. It was much better than Giant Scoop, which is located a few doors down the street.

Great Food, Wonderful Service!
My experience at this restaurant was quite unique as I had Chinese for breakfast, which is not something I do every day. The staff were all very accommodating. I believe it's family-owned, as a gentleman offered us a complimentary sweet snack, perhaps because it was the year of the pig. My Chinese knowledge is limited to "ni hao mao, " and I'm unsure if that's spelled correctly. Overall, I found the food to be great, affordable, and the service was wonderful. This visit also inspired me to research my Chinese zodiac, discovering I'm a snake rather than a horse, which was a bit disappointing.

New Favorite Spot - Great Value!
I’m going to be in love with this place for a long time. It’s my new favorite place to eat since I discovered it by chance. The price is incredibly cheap as well. The only negative aspect is that some of the vegetables and meat are not trimmed well because of the speed at which everything is produced. Also, some dishes might be cold if no one takes any for a while. YOU MUST try their egg rolls. So cheap and huge! I’m going to have to send some people back to Hong Kong with me!
