Always great food I used to go to another one around the corner, but gave up on them soon as they change ownership. This place is truly amazing for great Chinese food services on time and very prompt ambience. It's a takeout place. There is some tables if you'd like to sit quick lunch, but the food is awesome.

I ordered takeout here for lunch and was very pleased with my meal! I got the General Tso's chicken with vegetable rice and an egg roll--all for just $10, which is an absolute steal! The food was fresh, flavorful, and definitely a step above my usual Chinese takeout experiences. Plus, the portion was so generous that I even had leftovers for dinner. If you're looking for a delicious and budget friendly lunch, I highly recommend this spot!

I don't know why we haven't gone back to this place but the food was way better than the other spots we've frequented. The egg foo young Whi is not listed on the menu was so fluffy and chock full of add ons- delicious. My ginger glazed chicken and shrimp was full tray with very good veggies, and chicken and shrimp. The brown rice was nice and the white rice was fluffy. We all enjoyed it very much and will be back.

Great authentic Shanghai food! The special dishes (such as the Duck with Glutinous Rice) are especially wonderful. Highly recommend!

Our family has ordered from here for years, and I love that they now offer online ordering (as it can be hard getting through on the phone during peak hours). There have been a few instances where the order isn't ready by the time given through online ordering, but it's never more than an additional 5 minutes. Our favorites: pad thai with chicken (which is indeed spicy, but what isn't advertised is carrots are part of the ingredients, which could be a bit too strong of a taste for some), General Tso's Chicken, fried wontons (crab meat cheese), and the fried dumplings. The packaging may seem small, especially with the noodle and chicken dishes, but they do pack plenty of food into the container which can be enough for a 2nd meal. Parking can be hit or miss, again at peak times, as the parking shares with other businesses in the area, so you may have to circle the lot or if you have a passenger have them pick up the order.

I was craving veggies and shrimp so I ordered these two dishes to see which I liked more. String bean garlic sauce with prawns was very good, with lots of fresh green beans and tasty prawns or shrimp (they looked the same in both dishes so I'm assuming both dishes had the same kind of shrimp even though one was called prawns and one shrimp). The wok grilled garlic shrimp was also good, with a standard veggie medley. I think I preferred the the first dish better but ended up mixing the two together.
