EchoAugust 30, 2012Clean, positive feeling, great service. Delicious ( food taste so flesh). No charge for hot tea :) The best Chinese restaurant so far.
Hama-LycheeOctober 17, 2021heck yeah! the flavor of pan fried egg noodles remained in my memories for the whole evening. see you in a week, guys! 🙏🏼
Absolutely best Chinese in Texas...and I've been to most of the places in Houston. There's only 1-2 in San Francisco & LA that compare.
Amazing BBQ pork! Also really love the clams and black bean sauce. This place is so good! Wonderful Chinese food that tastes like home.
TarynOctober 21, 2013Roast duck is incredible, make sure to eat the skin! Huge portions, so come hungry or eager for leftovers! Great value too!
Great place to go to. Try the Egg Drop Soup... and Sweet and Sour soup... Very good.
