"A popular spot for lunchtime bento boxes, this casual Sunnyvale spot serves all kinds of regional Chinese dishes, from griddle-cooked cauliflower and duck-and-bamboo-shoot soup to clams with black-bean sauce. Also on the menu is squirrel fish (pictured below), which is artistically scored before getting deep-fried in a luscious batter. The presentation is so ornate that you’ll probably want to take a picture before digging in. photo credit: Erin Ng" - Megan Zhang

I was very surprised by the food quality and items they have on offer. I live nearby but never came in because I thought the food here would be another one with offers of many heavy fried dishes. I wished that I came by to try here earlier than now. The food is authentic and tasty. All those times I'm looking for good casual Chinese places but have to settle for something below par? Well, no more, I will just come here instead.

I'm trying to reduce starches for lunch and this place was perfect. I had the two item lunch, no noodles or rice. It came with a cup of soup. All for less than $15. Best part is it is delicious. The curry reminds me of a pumpkin curry. The soup might have been egg flower. I'm not sure. It wasn't salty and I would like another

Lunch combo comes with 2 items, choice of carbs, and soup! Great prices, friendly service, and fresh delicious food. Also vegetarian friendly — they even use different serving utensils for vegetarian items.

We loved this place, very authentic Chinese food. It was our first time here. Staff as friendly and accommodating. We ordered for take out, got the cucumber garlic, eggplant, beef with onion, bean curd with pork, and chicken corn soup, also a side a white rice. Everything was freshly made and delicious. We will absolutely order from here again.

My partner is from Shanghai and they say the food is very authentic. Both owners and chefs are Shanghainese. We ordered some classic Shanghai dishes like spare ribs and rice cakes, 8 treasures sauce (you can order it as a single dish rather than with noodles), and fish filet with imitation crab! They are definitely different from the traditional Chinese version but this restaurant made their own version tasty as well with local ingredients!

Lunch box 1130am-230pm. 10-15$ depending if 2-4 items. Owner very generous. Will fill your box beyond what it costs to make it. Also can go after closing where they doing prep for the next day. Great duck and pork legs you can get fresh out of the oven.

We had a lunch on a weekend. The place was totally empty at noon and the waitress seemed very surprised to know that we wanted to dine in. Clearly none of the tables were ready. We waited about 20 min for our food even though there was few customers there. The worst was the food. We tried noodles葱油拌面, spicy chicken辣子鸡, and Xiao Long Bao小笼包, and all of them were below average level. The noodles had a bad smell, possibility from the dried shrimp going bad. The chicken was too dry and flavorless except for some artificial spicy powders. The XiaoLongBao had OK flavor, but not authentic as there was no soup inside. Would never go again. 不好吃,不正宗,服务也不好,吃了拉肚子,避雷!

Food actually is pretty good , fresh and clean . I guess because location is @ Sunnyvale , price is little bit high if compared with other locations Chinese food . Ordered house tofu special and Wonton soup bill is $ 39 Each table is very close is not comfortable.

Very nice place and great food! Ernest was very helpful, took my order it was delivered timely and perfectly! There's a great atmosphere there in the restaurant if you want to sit down and eat and it's family and children friendly there as well! The broccoli beef is excellent and the chicken egg rolls! Awesome!

Among the highlights of my meal were the Spicy Chicken), Braised Belt Fish and 烤麸 Braised Wheat Gluten). Each dish was a masterpiece in its own right, and I can't wait to return for more.

This is my 2nd time eating here. We had the twice cooked pork that came with tofu, cabbage and onions. I do not like tofu so I picked it off. It had a delicious savory flavor. I would def order again. We also had beef and broccoli and the garlic cucumbers that were also delicious. The service was good and friendly. They have a big dining room that can hold larger parties. They also have precooked food behind the counter that you can grab & go. It's a little pricey for chinese food but you get quality food.

I can only imagine the 1-star reviews are from folks trying to keep the lunch line from becoming even longer. JJG is a hidden gem. The lunchboxes are the best in the bay, but you need to get here before the lunch rush or you will have to stand in the line that goes out the door. Each lunch box comes from 1-3 entrees, served with fried rice and soup. There's about 15-20 options every day, ranging from cold dishes to beef and potato stew to tomato and egg. Flavors are authentic, and the sauces taste fresh and house-made. The fried rice is also real fried rice, not the grainy soy thing some places serve. For the soup, you can choose between hot and sour soup or tofu and egg soup (both are properly made, not too salty or watery). Service is great, especially for a mom and pop shop. One thing to note: some people have tried to cut the lunch line by ordering off DoorDash -- please don't do this as it won't work, and the poor door dasher will be forced to stand there waiting for a lull in the lunch rush.

I get the 3 item lunchbox a lot when I come here. It's a lot of food for roughly 15 bucks. The owners are friendly and are very generous with the servings. The cold meat selection is all pretty good but I'm not a fan of the fish. The vegetables are good but some of them, like the eggplant, are a bit salty.

LUNCH SPECIALS TO GET YOU RIGHT! I can on a rainy day got a lunch special for fried rice, orange chicken, Bro Olli beef, and hot and sour soup. The fried rice was good and had lots of toppings, but it was nothing special! However the orange chicken was really good with it still being crunchy even after being out for a long time it was crunchy and sweet and extremely tasty, however the broccoli beef was extremely mid with the servers giving me mostly broccoli and the beef tasted a little too gamey. The hot and sour soup was also all right, but it didn't have much flavor either and the toppings inside didn't have any texture. OVERALL I would not come again as it wasn't too special, however if you want a cheap meal it would be worth it if you know what to get!

Came to this plaza to visit the Bank of America. Since I was making the trip out here we ordered ahead of time online for pick up so we will have lunch. Ordering online was easy. Received an email stating my order will be ready in 30 minutes. Plenty of parking in this plaza. Came over around 15 minutes after my BoA visit and was told one of my items was out. Bummer. Advised to return in another 15 minutes. I waited outside and returned in 15 minutes to a long line of patrons around 1145am. I went to the front. The man recognized me and reviewed the receipt with me since one of the items was out. Paid and headed home. I would like say that I had a pleasant interaction with this man and all the food was presented nicely with good quantity. Bamboo shoots: We order this whenever we see it on the menu. This place gives a lot and the shoots were braised well and soft with a slight crunch to them. Perfection. Pork Ball with brown sauce: 4 good sized balls with 4 bak Choy. We haven't seen this item before so we opted for it. It was delicious! We will be ordering it again! Presented very nicely in the togo box. Yang Chow Fried Rice: Ordered this to enjoy with the pork balls. This was probably our least favorite. Some of the rice was clumped together but overall good and we have leftovers for tomorrow. Seem like their lunch plates are very popular hence all these patrons lining up around lunch time. Some of their lunch box items look very appetizing (I grew up in SF where a lot of these places serve fried and oily items). They have a mix of typical Americanized items and also home-y items such as tomato egg. Given close proximity to our home, uniqueness of some of their items, delicious bamboo shoots we plan on returning.

Difficult to find parking during busy weekday lunch hours. The plaza that the store is located does not have sufficient parking spots. Food quality is good and tasty

An excellent mom and pop Chinese restaurant in a quiet location near the Apple campus and Tong Sui! The owner is an elderly man who is super sweet and always ready to help answer questions or suggest things for your order. Reasonably priced and always a HUGE lunch line for their two/three item combo. Our staples are the hot and sour soup, broccoli chicken, sesame chicken, and the fried rice. They're super quick, food comes out nice and hot and makes it to your dinner table (despite being take out) well. Portions are also fairly big and we usually have plenty of leftovers that keep well for the next day.

Fair price and food is average. But with this price I don't expect too much. Will come for daily lunch

My car was at the shop nearby and I came here to pick up some lunch while I waited. The food was surprisingly good. The set up is similar to Panda Express where you can order a combo and choose from the pre-made dishes. I got fried rice with green beans and tofu. I liked it a lot and it went fast. I would have been happy to not have had the conversation with the person in line ahead of me who wanted to talk about WW2 and the effects of the nuclear bomb on Japan. Totally random and uncomfortable.

If you go late at night you can see the food prep for the next day dishes. I go there and try those dishes which are prepped but not for sale yet until the net day. Those include preserved vegetable w/pork belly(have to steam this for 1h to get the flavor out), braised duck, pork knuckle(have to deep fry or braise for 1h+ to tenderize and cook the tendon and or skin), the dishes which take more than 1 day to prep which involve a longer cooking technique like smoking, braising or steaming for 30m+ can't be done on make as you order menu like most menu items. They have to take the loss if there aren't enough orders. Those dishes are more unique and different than anything you can get at any restaurant because of the cooking time involved. Only other place i know who does this on a consistent basis is Koi Palace.

With the vast number of Shanghainese restaurant options in the Bay and also having tried most of them as a Shanghainese-food snob, I never thought it was this inconspicuous 3.5 stars restaurant with barely over a hundred reviews that would end up capturing my heart. IMPORTANT: Do NOT get the xiaolongbao or soups here - The XLBs are pocketed with little meatballs inside that come with an unnaturally smooth surface texture one can only assume was pre-frozen for ages - Soups come in big portions for the price but mostly taste like big buckets of water Then whyTF do I like this place so much if they don't even have good XLBs, aka THE signature dish many use to assume a Shanghainese restaurant's quality? Well, I too was very misled by the shitty (sorry jin jin) XLBs during my first visits and didn't want to come back except I was lazy and JJ was the closest proximity-wise when I craved Shanghainese food, so I started trying all the obscure-sounding dishes from the huge menu as well as daily specials and whatever they recommended each time. That's when I started to fall slowly in love with this place, because it was those other dishes that drew out a sense of my hometown with every taste. In retrospect, I also realized that our habits of evaluating the quality of a Shanghainese restaurant based on its XLB (or assuming the quality of an ethnic restaurant using few "signature" dishes we know of) isn't that rational, because authentic ethnic home cuisines is so much more than just a few well-known dishes natives often only eat during special occasions, just like how my family rarely if ever made XLBs back home. In fact, I didn't even like XLBs until I got unintentionally brainwashed by all the associations between XLBs and Shanghainese restaurants in america. Damn I just spewed so much food philosophy lol... Anyway, I've been here so many times now that the old shanghainese uncle who owns the restaurant (and slowly reminding me of my dad) recognizes my voice every time I call from some sketchy number. Come here and try something from their daily specials or whatever the owners recommend that's reminiscent of their hometown.

My fiance and I dropped by late Sunday night to order some takeout. We ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce, duck with bamboo soup, and beef chow fun. The eggplant with garlic sauce is so good!! The eggplants were soft and silky, the bell peppers and onions were slightly crunchy, but that sauce it came in was absolutely amazing. They were out of most soups but they recommend the duck with bamboo soup and that turned out really good too! There are little bone pieces within the soup but the meat and bamboo are super tender. The beef chow fun was alright, it didn't have much wok flavor but the pieces of beef were really tender. Overall, i'll definitely be back for the eggplant with garlic sauce and I can't wait to try out their other soup options!

The wife and I walked in for a late lunch around 1:30pm Friday. We've been there before and it was a good experience. This time, they still had some pre made food from the lunch crowd remaining behind the glass but the wife preferred to order off the menu. There was no line and only four other people in the seats, all eating out of the styrofoam boxes from the pre made selection. The server approached us at our table and said the pre made would be quicker. My wife responded in a pleasant voice that she really wanted to order off the menu. The server then scowled, literally flipped *one* menu onto the table and walked away. We looked at each other and walked out. Business must be really good for them, but we're not going back.

This is our new go-to Chinese restaurant having moved in the area. The chow mein is exceptional! We also really enjoy the Shanghai dumplings, mixed mushroom with beef, and sautéed pea sprouts. Knocking a star because we ordered the braised duck but it was cold, which was disappointing. The service is friendly!

This place serves authentic Shanghainese food. The wait might be long when it's busy, but it's WORTH the wait. I grew up in Shanghai and their food tastes like what I ate in my childhood!

Yelp
Idk why this place only has 3.5 stars but I guess that's just typical of authentic (read: worth going to) Chinese places so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The food here was definitely what they sell it as: non-Americanized, good quality, homemade, probably from-scratch Shanghainese food. We ordered the liu sha bao (custard dessert buns), 糖醋排骨(sweet and sour pork), sautéed pea tendrils, shanghainese vegetable rice, spicy pork belly, and winter melon w/ pork soup. The pea tendrils were extremely tender and well flavored, probably one of my favorite dishes. Custard buns also had ample filling and wasn't too runny. Overall, food reminded me of home! Definitely worth going to and will return. Prices ranged from around $8-$14 for entrees (cheaper for dim sum and cold dishes), pretty standard. Service was good, water and tea were refilled periodically.

Food is very tasty and affordable! Four of us ordered 5 dishes and total is less than 120$. Service is also very good. Only thing is few of the bowls have a few cracks. Hope they replace them next time.

Terrible food quality, fish tasted like earth, everything was greasy except for the veggie. Won't go back for sure.

If I could give this place no stars I would, they took our order at 1:44 PM and after over an hour they still haven't finished it. I had to ask twice. We didn't come here directly anyway, we were just in the area. There was another guy waiting the same amount of time as me and he was fighting with the guy in Mandrian and after back and forth he got his order (yup before ours). The last time I asked, the guy told me that they are short handed and there's only one chef at work BUT they have a really big order that needed to be done by 2:30 PM... It's already almost 3 PM. Bro you should've told me that you were in this situation before you took my order. My girlfriend even wanted to leave, just take whatever was done, cut our losses and gone home. We waited 15 mins more so in the total they took an hour and 16 mins for 3 items. Hope your place recovers from this shortage and get more efficient in the future but we likely will not return.

Dear black people: This restaurant does not care about your patronage. Spend your dollars at restaurants that understand humans come in different shades, but all money is green. I moved into the area a few months ago and I'm still finding my "go-to" restaurants. I've been here 2x before, but was always the only person there when picking up. This Sunday evening there were a couple of full tables when I walked in. There was also a gentleman who walked in behind me. I approached the front counter as the lady who has helped me the past times was finishing up with a guy's takeout order. The guy who walked in behind me stayed off to the side, but still near the counter. She looked at me then went to package up some food. While packaging, she kept looking at the guy who walked in behind me. I just KNEW she was going to help him first. Lol. This kind of microaggression is not new. Anyway, I was right. She said something to him in their language, he responded, and she moved down the counter to grab his order and handed it to him. I felt unacknowledged but figured that since she helped "her own" first, she'd at least help me now that there was no one else picking up. NOPE! She disappeared to the kitchen, then packaged up some food, then went to the register area. It was like I didn't exist. There was an older gentleman also behind the counter but he had been busy packaging food and hadn't engaged with the other customers. After standing there a couple of minutes, I said, "Excuse me. I was here before that other gentleman and you helped him first. I'm here to pick up for Grace." She looked at me but said nothing, then left through the doors to the kitchen. The older gentleman handed me my order right away, but didn't acknowledge my concern. I said, "thank you" and left knowing I'd never return. The food is not good or bad, it's just ok. It's a shame to ever experience anti-blackness. Luckily there are a surplus of Chinese restaurants around and most of them are welcoming. :)

They said food would take 20 mins. Had to wait 50 minutes to get it for a to-go order. If you had to wait 50 to get food while sitting down, that would be unacceptable. They weren't even busy and it was not during peak hours (8pm - 9pm)

Hang H.

Yelp
They will tell you your food is ready in the app, but tell you you still need to wait another 30 minutes when you go in there I think they do it to make them look quick in those take out apps. Also the people here clearly don't want to talk to customers

Philip W.

Yelp
We were picking up desserts next door and decided to try this place because there was a long line. As all foodies know, a long line usually means good food! Lol We ordered chow mein, beef with broccoli, chicken with vegetables, pork with tofu, and hot and sour soup. Out of all of the dishes the beef with broccoli was my favorite. The ingredients were fresh and not overly salty. In my opinion the food overall was decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here to get food...

C Z.

Yelp
Delicious. We ordered to go last night: Yang fried rice, combo chow mein, beef with broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, BBQ pork buns, and scallion pancakes. EVERYTHING was so good! The food was hot, tasted fresh, and packed properly so nothing leaked. Very fast service and nice people.

David H.

Yelp
Great reasonable lunch place with good tasting authentic Chinese food at affordable prices. Dinner here had their shrimp ... but it isn't that fresh and had a strange taste. Other than that the marinated pig ear as well as their tofu was the bomb.

Minnie W.

Very nice little store. Typical Chinese restaurant. Come in on a Thursday night and got seated right away. Ordered three cup chicken, honey walnut shrimp, string bean, and stir fry lamb. Everything was tasty, especially the honey walnut shrimp

Keep supporting local small businesses. Especially now, they still need our business! Definitely will keep Jin Jin in our rotation. Friendly staff. We've tried a variety of items and they've all been good. I was desperate a few weeks ago for some good Chinese takeout, and called them several times in a row like a Stage-5 Clinger, but they didn't pick up. It's hard to know actual business hours right now with all the shelter-in-place changes to businesses. We made change of plans and got something else for dinner that night. But he saw my missed calls, and called back to see if I still wanted to order. He said they were out doing a Costco run and it ran late. Maybe for now they're closed between lunch and dinner(?). Anyway, I thought that was really nice and told him I would order from them the next time we planned for Chinese food. Last order there was a mix up. Either my order on the phone was misunderstood, or one of our items got mixed up with someone else's order. We ended up with some salt and pepper fish, and it was really tasty! If someone else got our order of Schezwan Chicken, hope it was still enjoyed by you.

Only one word to describe this place...AMAZING They created a dish for me and they were able to make something even better than imagined.

Apit L.

Yelp
Decent Chinese restaurant. Came here because of the ratings and I wanted to try a local Chinese restaurant. I chose the spicy chicken, the soy sauce chicken, and another chicken which I don't remember the name. It's decent but I think it was a soy sauce chicken that was extremely salty. Thankfully I can handle and enjoy salty foods. They also provide soup with the combo meals. I can see why this place has a mediocre rating. Will I return? When I feel like having cheapo Chinese food, yes. By the way, they're not so cheap. For three item combo cost me $13. I could get three item combo at Panda Express for only $10.

Raymond H.

Yelp
Good food, but the portion is getting less and less. When I brought the issue to the owner, who is the cashier, he said "it depends on the people (who pack the lunch box)" The item in the picture is a $10, 2 item lunch. I did not include the picture of the complementary soup. The worst thing is, they just raised the price recently.

Sherry C.

Yelp
Great place for a quick lunch with a wide selection of home-style Chinese dishes to choose from. Price is reasonable. Combo entree comes with carb (rice/fried rice/chow mein), soup, and single item is $7.18, two items for $9.17, three items for $10.55. So many to choose from and the dishes were delicious.

Kristine F.

Yelp
Not bad for lunch. 1-3 item steam tray combos with rice/noodles and choice of egg flower or hot & sour soup starts at ~$6.50-8.50. You can request half/half fried rice/chow mein/steamed white rice. I saw photos of the chow mein prior to my visit and assumed I wouldn't like it, but gave it a shot. Yep, won't be getting that again. Bland with some veggies. Fried rice was ok, plump not too oily grains adorned with scrambled eggs, diced carrots, and peas. I knew I'd walk away feeling only slightly satisfied after ordering barely any meat: beef & broccoli, sautéed green beans, and braised tofu with eggplant. I asked for more tofu than the latter; the lady kindly obliged. The green beans looked so good! I finished all of it, wok tossing them with a bit of chili is genius. Hints of spiciness go a long way. Wish it had shrimp in it like at Asia Express in Union City though. Beef and broccoli didn't have much beef, plus they weren't the meatiest cuts either. Love braised tofu! No complaints. My coworkers let me try their salt & pepper pork chop and salted fried chicken pieces. The pork chop was good, less fat, more meat. The small chicken pieces were of course, salty but had easy to swallow bones if not careful. Egg flower soup was kind of sweet? Probably because of the corn. Lots of seating available in a brightly lit space. Various items on the steam tray or you can order from the vast menu for cooked to order dishes. Quick service, pour your own water near the cashier.

When I found out about Jin Jin Gourmet , I was excited to try it out . Jin Jin is not that far from where I work . So I jumped into my Work Whip and rolled to Jin Jin . They are located in a Brand Spanking New Strip Mall , Bank Of America is right next store . There's plenty of parking in their parking lot . I stashed my Whip in the Parking lot and rolled in. Jin Jin is a Pretty good sized Restaurant . There's lots of tables to Dine at . They have a Large Steam Table that they stock for Lunch and Dinner . That's great if your in a rush or time is an issue. They have 2 Restrooms and Men and Woman's . I used the Men's on my visit and found it to be Clean . There's also 2 LCD TVs for Entertainment . I seated myself at a table and a Server brought me a Double sided laminated menu to peruse and took my Drink order. The Steam table was being restocked for Dinner on my visit so I didn't order from it . When my Server returned with my Beverage . I tried to order several items off the Menu Ala Carte - but they did not have the Items in stock to Cook or Serve.. Their Menu is quite large and rather impressive if they had all the items to serve. So I finally ordered the Beef Chow Fun . Beef Chow Fun is a Standard Chinese Dish . I waited 10 Minutes for my Chow Fun . My Server delivered it to my table . First thought when I saw my Beef Chow Fun was "Where's The Beef ???" Instead of Chunks of Beef there were Silvers of Beef . WTF ??? And instead of a lot of Noodles there was more Bean Sprouts . And the Portion Size was disappointing and on the Small side . The one Positive thing about the Chow Fun was the Flavor it tasted great . After eating my Chow Fun . There was a Thick Film of Oil left on the Plate . The Server and the Counter Help were nice . They accept most Major Credit cards . I paid by Credit Card and Rolled out .

Pretty good fare, with lots of options to satisfy those looking for authentic dishes and those preferring more Americanized Chinese food. Went with some vegetarian and pescatarian friends and they were satisfied with the choices. Prices are fair, and service was decent. There was a little mix-up with the orders but not a big deal, and the dish we got by accident (braised fish instead of walnut prawns) was really good. Perhaps could benefit from better confirmation of the orders before heading back to the kitchen. They have a good-sized space and can accommodate large and small parties. Would come back!

I came here on a lazy afternoon after a very long night and I wasn't really in the mood for waiting in long lines and slow service. I ordered D9 (stir-fried Szechuan). It came out quick and I was quite pleased with the quality and heatness of the dish. It was hot like hell! I burnt my tongue several times because I don't have any self control, but what are ya gonna do! Every time I put the food into my mouthhole, there was hella steam coming out, and it made water come out of my eyeballs. I'll probably be back here again, because I like quick, hot, spicy, big, bony food! I suggest you give this place a try, because you owe it to yourself to just go ahead and try all the food in the world. But I mean, obviously within reason, ya know. Moderation is key. Unless you like being a fat sack of crap, then go for it :)

This review is for the to-go lunchboxes. This is what I imagine Panda Express would be if it actually served Chinese food. The food here is quite good and the dishes are authentic. There are plenty of choices; I had the chongqing chicken and the braised pig ears with peppers and tofu, both of which were authentically flavorful and not too oily. The lunchbox also comes with soup which, for $10, is a steal compared to what they serve in the city (mediocre, oily, limited options, and $15). The portions here were great -- enough for lunch but not so much that you end up feeling guilty for being wasteful. They take Apple Pay.

The best Chinese food I ever had in Bay Area . Their authentic shanghai food smells good and very fresh . I love it !

Got the salty pork 菜饭 (rice). It tastes fine, but there's literally like three pieces of pork and it costed $8! The pork stew ($12) is really good. But they gave us seven pieces of meat. Not really worth $12 imo The food is good but the quantity is really lacking.

Xin T.

One of our favorite restaurants. The price is decent and taste is good. It has some authentic Shanghainese dishes.

I'm not normally in this area but for this place I would go out of the way. I've ordered many,many dishes here from fish fillet, Kung pao chicken, Mongolian beef and honey walnut shrimp to name a few. EVERYTHING here is top notch and some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. The flavor and tastiness really comes through I think it is more of the Shanghai type in China. I've had many dishes of Chinese food and this is some of the best food I've ever had. Don't sleep on this place. The low reviews here aren't warranted and just probably a angry person over something little. This is the place for Chinese food!!

The food is pretty authentic and delicious. The only thing is long line and the staffs are very slow. It's on my way to the gym so I usually order in advance and pick up. I would recommend it.

Jin Jin is both a Chinese Fast Food and Dine In Restaurant. Their fast food section is freshly made and they have a lot of items to choose from! I ordered from their dine in menu today. I got the salted meat with vegetables fried rice. It's a traditional Shanghai comfort food and tasted pretty delicious and authentic.

There are two sections for the restaurant, one section is for entree to-go like Panda Express, and the other section is ordering from the menu. I was in the area on Sunday after a long morning. I ordered D9 (Special stir-fried Szechuan dish). It came out quick and it was very hot, both the flavor and temperature. I had to wait for 10 mins for it to cool down to eat it. The pork is soft and flavorful, it was delicious. Overall, great place to have some really good Chinese food.

Decided to give them a try for lunch. I was having a rough day and wanted something fun. I ordered the chow fun and it was delicious and hot. Thank you. I look forward to my next visit.

Tried to order dinner last night but the menu on line was way too hard to read. When I called to order food, the person that answered couldn't understand English well and I was handed to someone else. When I finally ordered I still couldn't understand the person well. I ordered 2 shrimp dishes and some kind of rice. The only thing that was good was the honey walnut prawns. When I asked to a to go menu they said they had none. Not sure if I will return.
