One of those family owned restaurants where you can get the most authentic Chinese food. Reasonable price. Service is slow but the crew is very friendly. Excellent Hot and Sour soup. I tried the Mongolian Lamb and found it delicious (I like hot dishes). I...Read More

One of the best place to get salt ‘n pepper chicken wings here at Hayward! Crispy and juicy~ 🤗 A bit pricey though. They do deliveries, so don’t use DoorDash or GrabHub if you want something from here, to avoid extra charges other than delivery fees.... and...Read More

I can’t say enough good things about this Chinese restaurant! Their chow fun is perfectly stir-fried with just the right amount of wok hei, and the salt and pepper fish is crispy, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. Every dish we tried was fresh, well-balanced, and clearly...Read More

Generous portions. They give out fortune cookies which is a nice touch. Honey walnut shrimp seems to have added coconut milk flavor which is not my thing..

This location has always brought you decent chinese-american food at very reasonable prices. Well, the new owners are still cooking decent food but they did raise prices. Looks like most menu items went up about a buck [or so] on each item. No more sizing...Read More

Their food is really great, it tastes better than any other Chinese food I've had. Plus after you eat it, it doesn't make you feel bloated and guilty. Their mixed vegetables with shrimp is delicious and they don't take forever to deliver. I've never been...Read More

Food has always been hot and delicious! I have been ordering delivery and it usually comes sooner than expected! Salt N Pepper Chicken wings are crunchy and tasty! My other favorite is the Honey Walnut Prawns.

Ordered lunch on Sunday. Never delivered. Phone went unanswered (number listed on Grubhub was a fax machine). I've never, in my entire life, had a restaurant take my money and just never deliver. It's literally a crime, but what am I going to do, call...Read More
