This place never dissapoints! I love their stir fried sirloin steak and onions on a bed of salad. Also their birds nest combo chow mein is plenty and affordable. Duck Soup is amazing. Parking is a little tricky. But this hole in the wall eatery is phenominal! A must go destination.

Roast duck with egg noodle soup - impeccable flavor. Im glad they have the soup and duck separated and you can actually taste them individually and then combine them in your mouth... Yummy er! Portion is good for 1.5 persons. I will definitely be back.

Hole in the wall Chinese food. Nuff said. I've been coming here since I was a kid and it still feels the same today as it did back then. It's a small, cramped Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant with a lousy parking lot. Service is minimal but the new staff friendly enough. There was auntie in the corner speaking loudly on her FaceTime call while making dumplings. Felt just like home. There are about 10 tables inside and the menu has a variety of Chinese inspired dishes. The must get here is definitely the egg noodles with wonton and char sui. We tried the specialty honey walnut shrimp and it was a let down. Soggy shrimp with very little sauce. The fried chicken leg was crispy and savory and the fried rice was very yummy. Definitely recommend these 2 dishes and the egg noodles! Overall this place offers a lot of value, but I would stick with the fried rice or noodles dishes. Good lucking finding parking!

A hidden gem for sure. The #12 and the #27 are absolutely delicious. The combo #27 has a good mix, the wontons in this soup were the best I've ever had. The #12 beef was high quality and tender with a huge portion of beef. I prefer the egg noodles versus the rice noodles. I highly recommend it.

Another hiding Chinese restaurant I haven’t tried was just around the corner. The first thing that caught my eye was the Roast Duck 🦆, although dry, I was looking for the sauce for it but there was none. My main go to was crispy friend noodles , I got the combination one , the combo was great but didn’t see much vegetables in it. My favorite that evening was the beef chow fun. I’m not a fan of fat noodles but this one ☝️ was good. Overall the food was great! I would like to try the other recipes. Go there and and bring your friends to try 😊
