This place was highly recommended so I had to try it and I was extremely disappointed! The service was ok not great not bad but mid the gentleman didn't greet me just gave me a strange look until I stated ordering than the polite button switch came on. The food was terrible I got combo A which consist of fried rice & chow mein and 1 entree, I went with pure chow mein & mushroom chicken, the chow mein was old and stale and extremely salty, the mushroom chicken same thing was old and salty I literally took 2 bites when I had got home with it and just threw it away. The restaurant its self was very cluttered and dirty and didn't seem like a place you would want to sit down at and eat! This is just my personal opinion on the food and service everyone has different taste buds but it's a no for me sorry. Food 2/10 service 3.5/10 cleanliness 2/10 read more

My go to spot for some great Chinese food. The bbq pork is tender and juicy not that tough stuff at others places I've tried!! The service is quick and very generous with portions. Their party size trays are also a decent price. read more

Little Spot in the wall , with the best shrimp fried rice I've ever tasted ! It cost $13 but I was well worth it , it was for almost 2 people . Everything was on point like a shrimp fried rice should be , they're generous with the shrimp portion , the shrimp well just right , not soggy . What got me what's all the egg they put in it !! Must try , it was my first time , it is in a shopping center plenty of parking , and like I said it's small spot spot , I will try a spicy seafood soup next time!! 5 STARS for taste and customer service , I did order and it was ready when I got there .. read more

Fried Chicken - Dry Spicy Orange Chicken - Super hard, tough and dry. Didn't even taste like orange chicken. Just cayenne pepper and Jalapeños Beef broccoli - Chewy, had to spit it out. Broccoli was probably the only decent tasting item on the plate Thai Tea - Idk what kind of tea it was but definitely didn't even taste close to a thai tea. In the end, I threw everything out read more

Decided to try this place out after seeing the almost 5 stars - however I didnt like it. My orange chicken was a mixture of good chicken with some hard pieces that were probably under the heat lamp too long. My chow mein was also a mixture of good noodles and hard pieces. read more

During summer one of the kitchen staff took one of the standing fans and used it on himself while eating. While a small one was blowing small amount of air one direction. Small portions of rice cost close to 5 dollars. Ridicules. Caught pest control operating in the back of the kitchen DURING work hours. Disgusting people read more

Inedible. Ordered the Three item combo from DoorDash... The plate arrived and they literally piled everything on top of itself so I had this plate held together with a rubber band. Could you perhaps put the third item in an individual plate? Would that really be too hard? It was just awful. I sort of enjoyed the dry fried rice and the pork eggrolls were tasty. But the orange chicken was way over cooked and sweet with zero orange flavor at all... And the barbecue pork had so much fat on it it was really bad. What a huge amount of money I wasted. DoorDash said too bad. Smh read more

Very nice service, good selection, good price 11$, got 2 plates, everything I needed included, and it's pretty good‍

First and last time I eat here. Felt like Chinese and stopped here because of the yelp ratings. Big disappointment. They ran out of spicy orange chicken and was told it would be a 15 minute wait. How do you run out of a popular dish during dinner rush. Anyways, went with the regular orange chicken and beef/broccoli. Only 1out of four orange chicken pieces had any chicken, all flour. The meat in the beef and broccoli was so chewy, I could only eat the broccoli. Hope you have better luck than me if you decide to go. Good luck. read more

I went today just to get a boba thia tea, it was horrible, I mean how hard can it be to make a boba drink. It tasted nothing like a thia tea, the boba had fried rice in it and the whole restaurant was very dirty and it smelled bad. I should of walked out as soon as I walked in, read more

Gotta be one of the best food shops in South Gate. The service is great. It's a small family owned business and their hospitality is great just like their food. I'm no expert in Chinese food but I sure love this place. Great food, great prices, great people. It's a small shop so don't expect a fine dine in but it's a good spot to grab a quick bite, or for take out to enjoy at home. Love that they got Mexican style glass bottle cokes. I'm a sucker for those. They also have fountain drinks and a variety of bottled and canned beverages so you'll have a lot to choose from. But yea if any of y'all took the time to read this hope y'all give this place a try and have a great experience like I have had. read more

Got the spicy orange chicken and the orange chicken and they were both very dry. was expecting more flavor but was very disappointed. Thai Tea was watered down Very disappointing experience. Would not recommend unless you like dry chicken read more

Best combination fried rice hands down !! I have been coming for many years now just for this. Made upon order and the owners are really cool I think they know me already.

Always amazing and big portion is why we always come back hot and fresh because they are always busy... food doesn't sit for long after being prepared... read more

We drive 15+ mins to this particular restaurant. Truly the best Chinese food in town. They are family owned and operated business, their customer service is impeccable! They truly give you your monies worth! It's a to-go spot so no sitting area which I am sure I would enjoy more, but hey it is what it is. Their kung pao chicken is delicious, chao mein and fried rice is also top tier. Their boba is good but of course not their forte, so don't go in here expecting the best boba in town. Love this place and will continue to support! read more

This is our go to for when we cater for family get togethers and they are always a hit. We loooooooveeeeeee their fried chicken! And their noodles! And their orange chicken! Basically, get everything. read more

Food looks amazing the service was amazing they were patient and I love the vibes also the prices is amazing I haven't try the food but I'll let you know. The down side was the boba :( I'm a huge boba fan and when I order a tarro the drink is good don't get me wrong but the boba was extremely hard but overall I would of give them a five if my boba wasn't hard :( . read more

This place has the BEST shrimp fried rice!!! Whenever I'm working in the area I always have to stop by and get my shrimp fried rice fix. I've tried many other places but haven't found anything that can even compare to their shrimp fried rice. They always greet me with a smile and ask if I want my usual. I'm a little embarrassed that they know my order. But I love that they remember what I usually get. They also have really good chicken wings too. On cold/rainy days I normally order a wor wonton soup also which always hits the spot. Good food & good service!! read more

Good spot with large portions & decently priced food items. Nice flavored spicy orange chicken.

In my opinion, the food was simple. The orange chicken was soft and not crunchy like most places. The beef and broccoli was okay but I wasn't a fan of it. It doesn't really have flavor to it. The chow mein was good but it had a lot of cabbage and not so much noodles. It had a garlic flavor. It was $7.99 for the plate. read more

Good Chinese food great prices! I found this place to be great and not so pricey. The food was delicious and portions were big. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We first had their food at one of my very good friend's wedding, and omgoodness, everything was SOO good. What was especially good was their fried chicken. It was such a great experience that I had to get their contact information, and since then, we have ordered their fried chicken (ask for it spicy) for any event and any excuse that we can find. Everywhere that we've brought their chicken have been greeted with raving reviews, and some friends and family have gone on to order the chicken for their own events. Delicious! read more

Great local Chinese food in South Gate. I prefer this place over Panda Express because they always hook it up and the food has more flavor. The prices are great and the staff is always super friendly. I've enjoyed visiting this spot during the pandemic because they always have a smile on their face and are willing to cook whatever they're missing in a short amount of time. read more

Great food and excellent service. They make it to order if you preferred. Super fresh and as spicy as you desire.

Now this is a spot that needs to be recognized!!!! They have the Best... The BEST Shrimp Fried Rice... it's a must to try out. They have delicious varieties as well but for me you already know!! read more

The best Chinese food in all of the 323. Excellent food and excellent service great food all around. Been coming here since I was 6 years old grew up eating at this place and this will forever be my spot always bomb food. You want some great food and service come to this spot you won't be disappointed. I show my girlfriend this spot and she's from Bakersfield she told me best Chinese food she ever ate in all Los Angeles and Bakersfield. read more

Update/ new review: they have a seafood soup. Awesome. It has a little bit of everything. For the price, you can't go wrong. It's super filling. Second, their Mongolian beef is again, excellent. Super soft, velvety pieces of meat. I like mine extra spicy, no celery. They are super accommodating with your special orders. Lastly, their pork egg rolls are "egg"cellent as well. 4 rolls for 3 bucks. Not bad. Super nice people. I'm glad I can support family owned businesses in my neighborhood. read more

The most dankest food ever!! I recommend to anyone. I've been coming here for the past 3 years not very often but it's my number one place. They're always quick and super clean. Never had an issue with my food ever. 10/10 read more

Large portions at a great price and the food is good and fast. Great cheap Chinese food.

I'm six months pregnant and that sets the bar high when I'm going crazy with CRAVINGS. The food was delicious! It was hot, flavorful and not salty like some other restaurants. It hit the spot and my toddler ate all her veggies! :D This place made me feel welcomed and I had a nice peaceful meal. I love that it's family friendly and that it feels homey. I still need to try out the rest of the menu but I have a feeling it'll be delicious too! I'll be back since I live so close. I just hope I don't gain too much weight or else my doctor will cut me off before I get started hahaha read more
