The food is tasteful but it leaves a sickening stomach behind it, I don't think they kitchen is up to legitimate standards health wise. Place definitely needs inspection, it was fine 2 weeks ago when I heard Mexican Paisa music playing through the back door but the week after it got worse, needs better dish washing and hygiene Also the chicken was undercooked, I had orange chicken and pineapple shrimp. Chow mein was great

You can order ahead or drop in and pick up portions. They are well priced. Unfortunatly one of my containers tipped and got juice all over the bottom of my bag so ask for extra napkins. My kids love the food. We don't get anything spicy. I did ask for vegitarian spring rolls and got beef spring rolls. I am not vegitarian but It was a shock when I got home. We go here every 2 months.

This is a real nice gem in Redwood City for fast chinese take out. It isn't the CHINS I grew up on off main street but this place is pretty good . What I like is their set up, enter one way, exit is a separate way. It can get busy so this was planned out nicely. There are a few seating tables inside but be aware if it gets real busy, you don't really have any privacy. This place serves up nice hot, fresh prepared food. My favorite thing of why we always go back is because of the many options, keeps every one happy. Oh and for convenience, they have a parking out back. If they packed your order with complimentary fortune cookies like many other chinese take outs, I would have given this place 5 stars but they dont.

Look at this portion! Wow! I think this is Better then, Panda Express!!! As soon as had my first taste it was very fresh and savory. I had the best Green Bean Beff, Sweat and Sour Chicken accompanied with rice and chow mein. The price is about the same as Panda Express but the taste is way better and the serving is like double..

I've lived in redwood City for 20 years and just heard about this place. For the price, the food is fantastic. The quality of the food isn't top notch but it's not horrible. I feel like there should be something other than beef and broccoli in my beef and broccoli. Like carrots or something? But I did like the coconut shrimp and a few other items. Although there aren't really any vegetarian options that my wife could take advantage of. I would say check them out. Maybe they become a go-to. Maybe not. But you can't argue about the price
