    The waiter was rushing with her service despite it not being busy. She didn't write anything down and that made us uneasy. I don't know her name because she didn't introduce herself. The time of the check was ridiculous. She charged 4x for one order of steamed white rice. Her reason was because it was a large family and we were sure to share. My husband ordered for himself not the whole family they charge what they see fit and serve more than a typical one person serving without telling you or informing you. They reduced the 4x to 2x which was still outrageous but the service here is not good. They don't appreciate the customers and are rushing you as if they want you out. Very disappointing. The food was okay.

    I went to get takeout food for lunch yesterday. It all started with the menu. No where on the menu does it say lunch special not offered on Sunday. I ordered the same item not in the lunch menu. My Take out menu order came to $56.06 for two cashew chickens, two broccoli beef and two steam rices. at first I was told to pay on pick up, then he requested I pay right now. When I paid I was not once given and itemized receipt. When I came to pick up my order he told me that everything was in the bag. Took it home opened it and found out I was missing a steamed rice. I drove all way back down there, just to find out they put both steamed rice is in the same box. They were not willing to compensate me for their poor communication. To go portions are ridiculously small! This restaurant has very poor management and poor quality for Chinese food. Never again will I order from this restaurant! I have had bad experiences with this restaurant in the past! I know this restaurant is a chain in the Bay Area so I don't know if I'll visit any of the other locations.

    Warning! I was skeptical about getting food from this place, due to the mix reviews. However, I do not like to judge a book by the cover. So, I ordered pot stickers, chicken & broccoli, Seaweed soup and egg rolls, followed by sweet and sour chicken. 1. Pot stickers (soggy) yet some what tasty inside. 2. Chicken and Broccoli (bland and slimy chicken,broccoli okay). 3. Seaweed soup. Color and decent looking. Taste...no flavor and way over cooked. So disappointing! since I'm a soup lover. 4.Egg rolls. Very oily, generous portion of cabbage inside. Too bad the smothers the flavor. 5. Sweet and Sour chicken, should be renamed to extra extra soggy sauce chicken with extra sauce. Here is your friendly warning NOT to get food from this place. I should have taken heed. I wasted $45.00 and unknowingly put horrible food in my palate. Never again!

    We enjoy their egg rolls and went for dinner. Everything except one dish tasted like it was reheated. Service was poor. Grumpy atmosphere. I will not return.

    Great food! But don't call in to order. Worst service ever! The woman who answered could not get my order correct. All she could "you come in" if I wanted to go in I would not call them. Then some guy took the phone and he could not understand. Food is good but the service is going to thrash!! Have to find someplace now. Horrendous service!!!

    Really delicious potstickers! I haven’t had anything here that I don’t like, always fresh and takeout service has been great over the last year. Great family owned business!

    I only go there once in a while but they always remember my name. Good food and friendly place. Great neighborhood business

    Fantastic and authentic Chinese cuisine. Best Potstickers In Town the sign says, and it's true they're great! Big fan of the wonton and hot&sour soups, and the Ginger Garlic Chicken is delectable!

    Food is pretty terrible here. Go someplace else. Or try the sushi next door. Update: years later the food is still terrible if not worse. Seriously, go someplace else.

    Authentic Chinese food. Small place but the food was good. There were not many people around when we went there.

    I never leave reviews but my experience was borderline too comically awful not to leave one. I ordered food for two (potstickers, egg roles, and two entrees), and when checking out the person rushing me to take my order said $30.30. I’m a college student so that made perfect sense to me, but when I went to pay, the card reader displayed $60.60 and I was only allowed to see the itemized receipt after asking explicitly for it and wasn’t allowed to keep it. Anyway, I’m surprised but decide to order anyway. While I’m waiting, some poor old woman walks in and orders soup and egg roles, and upon being quoted $30 for the two items, apologizes and walks out because it’s simply way overpriced. Regardless of the price though, the food is pretty awful (my college town chinese for literally a quarter of the price is 10x better on all fronts). Both of us could taste some weird sour / bitterness in our entrees likely because they seemed to be the exact same barring the meat and a couple of peanuts despite being completely different dishes. TL;DR: food is super overpriced and altogether pretty bad. Their markup is the only way they’re still in business.

    Rather bland Chinese food. Seems to be a tired restaurant.

  • 4/5 T C. 8 months ago on Google
    Pretty mid menu and not much food for $15. Debatable cleanliness (flies, sticky table), but good service, and it's a vibe: it's of traditional cheap Hong Kong/Canto decor and smell and food. But spread out in the big American space lol so to put it nicely, it's a vibe lol The wontons are also on the fatty tasting side, which is not my preference

    Nice quiet place to have a good meal. Prices are reasonable, and they made chicken and garlic sauce exactly like I asked for it. Not everyone will do that!

  • 5/5 Geoff P. 6 years ago on Google
    Best pot stickers in town. We searched for some time to find our new 'local' Chinese when we moved to the peninsula - that was 6 years ago now, and we're still regulars here. They will occasionally have an off night, but overall the food remains great. The staff are fantastic. As locals now, we walk in and they basically know our favorites - they also look after our kids really well - true family environment. Don't expect the decor to be five star - but then again, you come for the food, and not necessarily the ambiance. We love this place, and continue to frequent every week or so. Thoroughly recommend.
