Very clean, great staff, fast service, when they say your food will be ready in 20 minutes you better hurry up and drive down there. They text you when it is ready, so if you are waiting next door at hair salon to pick up your mom, it’s awesome! But best part- THEY MAKE THE BEST HOT AND SOUR SOUP I’VE EATEN IN MY LIFE! It’s perfect. The first time I thought it was a fluke, I thought I was just hungry, but I’ve had it about 12 times now since they’ve been open and it’s fantastic every time. I’ve had hot and sour soup in every restaurant here in Salem and everywhere I go in Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Hawaii, Arizona and when I lived in California . It’s my favorite food. They make the best, it’s perfect. The Beef Lo Mien is very good, perfectly cooked and seasoned, served at perfect temperature, the pot stickers were great, my 82 year old mom keeps sending me back for more tempura shrimp👍 and the chicken ramen and the teriyaki chicken ramen were outstanding. I am still working my way through their menu, but I’m always going to get Hot and Sour soup to start, so it doesn’t leave much room. Prices are very reasonable, cheaper than most of their competitors, a quart of Hot and Sour soup at this writing was $7, a pint is $3.50. The pint is more than enough for dinner for one person. That hot and sour soup has magical powers for curing the flu that’s been going around, it cleans out your sinuses and make your throat feel better. 🥰 It has just the right amount of spices, the vegetables are cooked just perfect, I am addicted to it. The steamed rice is cooked perfectly, and it’s $1.50, for the same amount a nearby competitor charges over $4.50. I eat it plain it is so good. They have fortune cookies, 👍 they are fresh, not stale like some places, and the bad news for all of you, my cookie gave me the next winning lottery numbers 😂 Sorry about the pictures, I wasn’t planning on doing a review, I was showing my friend how good the food was and decided to do a Google Review afterwards. They are in a nice location, there is an Ace Hardware Store, an AutoZone car parts store, Maria at Super Clips next door is super nice, fast, takes walk ins and appointments, and can handle my difficult mom too 😂, H&R Block is a couple doors down, so you can nice inexpensive meal taste fantastic for about the same price that you would waste at Burger King. $14 main courses large enough to share , and appetizers that are fantastic and reasonably priced keeps me coming back. I’m only afraid they are gonna get so popular you won’t be able to get in the door. They’ve only been open a couple months and it’s already packed in there when I go in and there’s only a tables open. It’s becoming very popular because the food and service is so good. Hey, Salem- we need more like this, something other than Mexican food or junk fast food.
