So I went there for the first time a few days ago and what I will say is the staff was very friendly I don't like that they take cash only for some reason it wasn't taking my card and their ATM so I had to walk up the street to the bank so if you are going to go to this place make sure you have cash. I got a three item and I got spicy chicken and teriyaki chicken definitely will say that I like the teriyaki chicken rice and chow mein were kind of normal. What I will say about this food is make sure you eat it hot and fresh because this is not food that's good when it's cold or being warmed up the next day it leaves like a weird after tasting your mouth. I also got the pot stickers which they were good and I got chicken egg rolls which had a lot of vegetable and a little bit of chicken so if I do go back I probably won't get those again overall the food was pretty decent they give you a big portion and it was decently priced. No dine in.

This is great food in the tradition of California Chinese takeout. You can dine in (at least before pandemic) but the place is basic clean chill. Always service with a smile and quick.

Craving cheap, OK, large portion of Chinese food? This is the place to go. There is street parking and the Farmer Joe's parking lot. It is a grab and go spot. They do have a couple tables inside but I generally do not see anyone seated at them. They have your popular Chinese food options along with egg rolls. Overall a decent price - for 3 choice plate it is $18 (plus an egg roll) To be clear if you want "blow your mind" Chinese food then this is NOT the place, but if you want decent food and leftovers for 2-3 meals I recommend coming here.
