Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently single out the orange chicken as the standout dish, describing it as perfectly balanced between sweet and salty and ideal alongside plain rice. Generous portions come up repeatedly, with multiple reviewers noting they left with leftovers or that one order fed several people. The hot tea served with meals also draws praise as a welcome part of the experience. Other frequently mentioned plates include the noodles with vegetables, Yang Chow fried rice, beef chow fun, and the shrimp with asparagus, which one reviewer called exceptional. Service is described as quick, friendly, and efficient, with meals arriving promptly even during the lunch rush. A few recurring notes temper the praise: one delivery order of orange chicken arrived overcooked and chewy, and another reviewer wished the Kung Pao Chicken came in smaller, easier-to-eat pieces. Parking around Chinatown is mentioned as a challenge, though several note the meal's low prices make it easy to return.

“Ordered from Uber Eats and I was so excited about trying the orange chicken because majority of the reviews raved about it, but it was not it. Unfortunately, it seemed very overcooked and it was just so chewy and difficult to eat. …”
- Carli Stecker
“Only got the orange chicken. Was very saucy and not spicy which was perfect for my son 🥰 Three of us shared one portion with a side of rice and we were full! …”
- Robert Hernandez
“Really good authentic Chinese restaurant. Parking, as you would expect in Downtown LA, is a little difficult. There is meter parking, although Monday-Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. are no parking. The service is good, the servers/owners are always quick to take orders, very friendly, and the food is delicious.”

“What a treat! We had Shrimp and Asparagus, Orange Chicken and Braised Green Beans with Chicken and fried rice. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The Shrimp sang Asparagus was exceptional. We’ll definitely eat here again.”
- Richard Schamp
“Came here late at night, about an hour before they closed. They served free hot tea with my meal. I got the Yang Chow fried rice, and it was as good as it was a large amount of food. I took home half of it as leftovers. Service was efficient, and the workers were all very kind. I will be coming back!”
