"What a pleasant surprise! We decided to stop by and grab a bite to eat. I was expecting the usual low prices and generic menu options of a small Chinese restaurant; as well as the typical lack of depth in flavor with the dishes (especially outside of San Mateo and Millbrae). However, I was pleasantly surprised by the diverse menu offerings that stood out from the usual fare. We decided to try some standard dishes this time, but we are excited to sample some of their house specialties on our next visit! Upon opening the takeout boxes at home, I was impressed by the vibrant colors of the food, which matched the delicious taste. The generous portions were well-balanced with a good mix of meat/fish and vegetables. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the pan-fried dumplings had a satisfyingly chewy texture with a crispy bottom, and the sauce on the chicken was flavorful with just the right amount of salt and spice. While a couple of dishes were a bit on the greasy side, it was nothing to complain about. We even enjoyed the leftovers the next day, as the flavors had melded together even more. Our order included pan-fried dumplings/beef sticks, Beef Chow Fun, stone fish and asparagus, and Kung Pao chicken. We also made our own rice and vegetables (fried bok choy with garlic and salt)."
